He cant really play anywhere

[Shep]

Not the player we need. At all. But you can't teach the skill he has. We'd have to trade Lupul and probably Kadri for more well rounded players. Can't have 6 skill players or we become the new Oilers with only skill forwards and horrendous defence.

[kimmer]

8th overall + Lupul + Kadri for Malkin

[The BBKL Insider]

Shep knows. We need less euros.

The Leafs announced via Twitter that Frederik Gauthier has signed an amateur try-out contract with the Toronto Marlies for the duration of the American Hockey League playoffs.

Old news bro

[The BBKL Insider]

i didn't say my source was good

also, after taking the time to examin each NHL team i've deicded the the isles front office is the best at signing and re-signing their own players. (excluding that shitty goalie)

worst team: the leafs at resigning their own players to a reasonable contract.

Unfortunately for the islanders the vanek cycle really set them back

Moulson 2015 1st for Collberg 2014 2nd and a couple months of vanek

Snow should be fired after that eh

i swear we have BBKL gms who could run the island better than him

[Nick]

Snow should absolutely be fired for that move. Not just the vanek cycle - but for trading Moulson.

[Tony]

Matt cooke gets seven games for his hit on barrie.

[hong57]

cooke should be kicked out of the nhl... all he does is dirty hits.. that's why i traded his ass away even he's good h2h

[The BBKL Insider]

Ya I hate matt cooke
I agree wih hong

[The BBKL Insider]

hearing from a very close source that there are a few leaf players that they are "unteachable" and unless there is a major overhaul of the roster we should expect the same results next year. Even if we have a different coach.

This was MacIntyre's old paint job. AMAZING.

His one for the Leafs:

[The BBKL Insider]

Interesting news out of a florida news paper today:

By Michael Traikos

A big splash by the Panthers could be coming. They say they have money to spend on players and a coach this offseason. Reports indicate that the Panthers may be able to land Maple Leafs Joffrey Lupul for Kulikov.

[Nick]

Always a fan of Kulikov, but Lupul one of the few leafs I wouldn't want us to move.
