Lee wroteCOLONAh yes, the late round steal Jonathan Drouin.
haha, he said late round steals such as Polat and paquette then mentioned how they havent missed early in the draft anymore.
He said their only miss was Connolly, and because of that miss the entire scouting staff was replaced.

I really like the high offense build that Tampa uses. A lot of similarities to the BBKL Flyers.

Well, Fowler is a healthy scratch tonite. Maybe they were right.

Anaheim has 7 or 8 solid d. They have been rotating since deadline acquisitions.

The BBKL Insider wroteCOLONI will say, if Kessel isn't tradeable because of this poor play, then you dont just take the best offer. The leafs need to draft one of McDavid, Strome or Marner to play with Phil.
If they can grab one of those 3, you keep phil and replace bozak on the top line.
Kessel is a plague.

That's a great read. Arian and i were talking about this the other day and on a yearly basis i spend at least $1000 on leaf gear (jerseys - usually 2, t-shirts, hats, leaf collectables - signed jerseys, pucks, pictures, etc... all purchased through proper NHL sites where the leafs would benefit from my purchases.)
This season i haven't spent a penny on that team. I hope they give Kessel away, i hope they lose half of their fanbase and i hope it takes them 10 years to rebuild. I blame this on the old managment ways of MLSE. Trying to fill holes to just be "good enough"

Yep, Toronto is starting to slowly become the Raptors' city already. In 10 years the Raptors very well could be the most popular team in town if the Leafs don't get their shit together.

I'd wager against that.

i'm not sure i would, all depends on how much of Kessel and Dion the leafs can rid themselves of this summer.

I'd wager against it too because I doubt the raptors can be a playoff team for most of the next 10 years. The younger generation of people are really into the Raptors though and don't give a shit about the Leafs. The Raptors are the hottest team in town right now though and basketball is a more popular and recognizable sport for immigrants. That's for sure.

I'd just like a team to cheer for in the playoffs for a change.

Hey. We just signed this new kid.
I have a great ideal. The team sucks. What we are doing isn't working. Instead of breaking up our ineffectual top line and giving this new kid some games up there, let's put him with our 2 worst players in Carrick and Lindstrom. We promise we won't complain when it doesn't work out, or demote him to the Marlies.

I saw that and thought the same thing. He should be with kadri. He needs a center to feed him the puck.

Yah, let's switch things up so we can win some games....
Fuck that. Let the top line continue to be a black fucking hole.

I have a tough time watching the raps because Dwayne Casey is such an awful coach. Lots of pieces I don't like too.

Aren't you one of the ones on me for tanking in BBKL but you are fine with it in the NHL?
