wtf? dumbest thing i've ever read... yeah let's write off a 24 year old prospect hahaha.. will Kindl make a good assistance coach too? clearly he won't ever make the NHL either right? he's making strides every year, he's a solid two-way forward/penalty killer and the perfect guy we'll need on our team when Maltby/Draper are gone

Datsyuk Zetterberg Cleary Leino Franzen Filppula Abdelkader Helm Holmstrom Maltby Draper Newbury Lidstrom Rafalski Kronwall Stuart Ericsson Lilja Meech Osgood Howard I'd like that!

uhhh that was 3 years ago, he's played 29 NHL games since then and he's gone pretty much a point per game in the AHL... I think he's OK

These guys were both entertaining players when they got called up to the Leafs... I like these signings... it's nice to have Newbury available for a call up if need be he's a spark plug

damn... nice... I was really expecting more than that

Any of Moen, Bertuzzi, Bell would be a good addition with great upside playing on the Wings Some lesser, cheaper options for the 4th line... Andre Roy, Tom Kostopoulos...

I'd love to have Bertuzzi back

god this scared the s*** outta me.... chad larose is one of the last guy's i'd want...huge *****... wannabe agitator.. couldn't fight the flu

just checked...Nashville....I thought you meant Detroit

to where?

Probably noteworthy considering we might be looking for "4th line grinders" Begin is a guy who will give you his all every night, can't go wrong there

Apparently Burke is in Europe today trying to get free agent goalie Goalieoff or whatever, the Swedish guy.... that'd be a quick fix

another great move by the Leafs.. they get bigger, tougher, younger and have plenty of cap room... Komisarek is an upgrade over Kubina at a lower case...good terms

yeah Pens just grabbed another heavyweight in Mike Rupp, more than capable of playing a regular spot on any 4th line

f***...

damn that's a pretty good singing.. I mean who doesn't want a HUGE big bodied, physical, two-way POWER FORWARD who is capable of scoring 20-25 goals on the 2nd line TOMAS KOPECKY!!!!!

damn I like Walker but 1.7 is pretty hefty for him... I guess only time will tell if this was worth it

not 100% sold quite yet but hope it's true.... Hossa gone would open up so much more room...

yeah Orr is much better than Downey in both the fighting aspect and playing.. he improved a lot last offseason which is good hopefully he continues those same strides.. he can keep possession during a cycle and is responsible (enough) defensively.. I think the Rags might have thrown him into the fire a bit last year by using him in a shutdown role but I guess they were really that confident in him... he was -15 which doesn't help his cause but he was literally against the other team's top lines a lot of the time definitely one of the most responsible enforcers out there and he's still young and improving... probably why he played 82 games last year and the playoffs (until Brashear was suspended)

he said

it's not noteworthy to anyone on this forum but there is a guy on hockeyfights.com named "seward" who comes into the forums once in a blue moon and he'll say something like "godard to pens", or "laraque to habs", he keeps it short and sweet but he is right like 90% of the time but yea you'd have to know this guy's rep to appreciate him posting something like this... ...but i'm psyched!!!!

salary cap

OK i'll play along but it's meaningless to try and debate with you because you seem to get lost in your own mind and actually believe most of the stuff you type (I think anyways... lol) but here we go Kopecky is a 6'3 bonerack, I laugh whenever I hear people talk about his "size", for the record I've watched Kopecky play for a while since his Griffin days, he showed up every other game in his last season and had some nice point totals, he played much tougher than previous seasons cuz he had Bootland on his line but he almost always backed down from challenges much like in the NHL... he is a tall, skilled player that the organization is trying to turn into a "big bodied grinder, or 'power forward'" but it's not his natural game, he's just a skilled guy with a bit of an attitude he'll hit because he has to to keep his spot in the line up, but you're saying he intimidates guys? i'd bet half the league doesn't know who he is.. destroying guys in fights? like I said he has a quick fight where he bloodied Sharp, that was nice to watch but lets be serious they threw like 2-3 punches each and Kopecky just happened to bloody him... and his other famous YouTube fight is against a guy 5'10 180, Scott May, his first and last career fight...spirited tilt no doubt but let's not get carried away here... he got dummied by Beauch and i've seen him turtle on a couple occasions in the AHL.... power forwards aren't typically the type to turtle... he's not a power forward plain and simple... he scares no one, he's average when it comes to physical play (stands out on a non-physical team)... very unwilling and unproven fighter... and most importantly (to me) he just doesn't play like a POWER FORWARD... he doesn't demand space on the ice using his body, he's just a tall guy with some decent hands, nothing more, nothing less... yeah the injuries set him back but that happens the closest thing we have to a power forward is Johan Franzen because when he's on fire he does create space for himself using his body and drives the net...he just lacks the "other" qualities

ahahahahahahahahahhahah

where can I find these videos of Kopecky destroying his opposition? LOL are you gonna link me Patrick Sharp and 5'10 Scott May who's had 1 fight in his entire career??? always good for a laugh though
