[Raging Bull]

That'll help the tank no doubt.

 

[teeder333*]

Well the tankers will be ecstatic, JVR has been our main man this year. Won't help the cause for sure. For the want to win crowd. Knowing Babcock though, the team will keep scratching and clawing.

 

[Guy Boucher]

That's going to hurt the Leafs.

 

[mashedpotato]

Finally some good news....

 

[Eb]

What a shot for Leivo

 

[Mess]

That is a big loss as Leafs don't have many top 6 forwards as it is with offensive ability.

 

[brettzz]

the lottery gods are watching over us after all

 

[frankthetank91]

Damn that sucks. I was teeter tottering on the make the playoffs vs. tank stance. Looks like I'm going pro tank. JVR was arguably our best forward with Leo and Naz.

Excited for Leivo though, want to see what he can do. Just wish it didn't come at the expense of JVR.

 

[TheRexman]

Well that just sucks.

How did this happen?

 

[BertCorbeau]

Too bad, JVR was having an excellent season.

Opens a door for the kids though .. Interested to see how Leivo does under Babcock

 

[Lifeisnice]

Well, I guess JVR isn't getting moved before the TDL

 

[FlareKnight]

Ouch, really sucks for him.

No idea when that happened, but has to be rather painful.

 

[XxJammingxX]

Looks like we cant move him at the deadline. Unless they dont put him on IR.

(Im not saying they were going to always move him but it was a possibility)

 

[BertCorbeau]

Also.. When did this happen?

Well, I guess JVR isn't getting moved before the TDL

Given he's under contract through this season the better time to trade him is around the draft anyway

 

[PuckMagi]

damn. that sucks.

i'd like to see Leivo with Komorov and Kadri and move Grabner down to the 4th line (Grabner sucks).

It will be nice to see Leivo in the NHL though.

 

[crump]

Must have thought it was a bruise or something. That's too bad. Leivo gets a chance though, it is a good opportunity for him. Good for the tank too. Although, anyone who wanted to trade JVR will be dissapointed.

 

[deletethis]

Before we start our tank parade, remember that no single player on this year's team seems irreplaceable. And we do have a substitution for JVR's role: Lupul. Leivo will get Lupul's role on the 3rd line.

What's too bad is that this would have been the perfect opportunity to introduce either Nylander or Brown to NHL hockey.

 

[HarrisonFord]

Well that just sucks.

How did this happen?

I'm going to guess he was hit with a shot. Has Dion claimed another victim?

 

[I Believe]

Oof, that sucks. He was having a great year.

Glad to see Leivo get a shot though.

 

[Darkside Blue]

I'm going to guess he was hit with a shot. Has Dion claimed another victim?

Had the same thought. Didn't DP drill JvR on a PP in the first?

 

[deletethis]

Well, I guess JVR isn't getting moved before the TDL

The trade deadline is in about 7 weeks.

 

[johnny_rudeboy]

Crap, I was actually starting warming to the guy again.

Lets call up AHL all-star Leivo!

 

[HarrisonFord]

Had the same thought. Didn't DP drill JvR on a PP in the first?

He might have. He did finish the game, but with your skates tied up that tight you could honestly just feel like a bone bruise until you got your skate off

 

[Punch Drunk Loov]

Wow that sucks for JVR he was having a good year. Best forward on the team.
