I can tell you he is not a Devils board regular and his views do not express the overall view of Devils fans
I am not even remotely interested in this type of deal

Umm ok, so the ice time leader of a top 7 team and being a 50+pt defenceman (who would be your 2nd leading scorer as a defenceman) gets thrown away by one game but a guy who disappears for half a season and a bottom pairing defenceman get a free pass? Solid analysis there Ace.
Toronto’s defence lost game 7. And I hate Jake Gardiner.toronto does not need wingers,
and good lord, jake gardner?....he was the one and only reason toronto lost game 7, why the heck would njd want him?...he is horrid
He would've signed by now. He wants to stay.how do you know JVR is leaving?
This is solid analysis.That's a fair enough assessment, but I'll counter by saying:
- The point totals can be deceptive, considering the offenses on the two teams.
- Devils need more solid shutdown defensive defensemen, not offensive defensemen.
- Gardiner's probably due for a raise after this season, which doesn't fit nicely into the Devils future cap plans.
- Bratt and Jacobs are cost controlled.
- I'm interested in the potential of Bratt and, to a lesser extent, Jacobs.
Perhaps I was too harsh on Gardiner (though he seems to be a whipping boy for a lot of your fans), but this doesn't make sense for the Devils imo.
This is not.the guy who almost literally **** the bed in the biggest game of his career?

I know. His Devils fan-card will be revoked shortly for that.OP is a Devil's fan, champ.
You can bet all that you own that JVR is leaving.how do you know JVR is leaving?
Anish usually assumes the worst when it comes to the Leafs, we're not even sure he is a Leaf fan.
Give this guy a break Leafs fans....that game 7 victory over Toronto is his Stanley Cup this season. Let him have his Leaf bashing therapy, without it he will have to deal with Tampa making his team their bitch.I know. His Devils fan-card will be revoked shortly for that.
Jvr leaving wouldn't be 'the worst' for leaf fans. After their comments of 'hes sheltered' and 'he's one dimensional' and 'he's only good infront of the net', it would be quite pathetic for them to be sad about him leaving. They are already saying kapanen and Johnson, two guys with less than 70 games of NHL experience, will replace a guy who scored half of that number this season.Anish usually assumes the worst when it comes to the Leafs, we're not even sure he is a Leaf fan.
This is a way more sound analysis and I totally agree. Everyone is looking for those shutdown defenders as are we so they're tough to find. And Gardiner isn't a desirable asset with his pending UFA status next year. Hopefully we can find a better trade partner for Gardiner who is more ready to contend for a cup. Probably Pittsburgh or San Jose.That's a fair enough assessment, but I'll counter by saying:

Living the dream through another team (Tampa) = admitting that your team is inferior to mine. Good for you for admitting that.Give this guy a break Leafs fans....that game 7 victory over Toronto is his Stanley Cup this season. Let him have his Leaf bashing therapy, without it he will have to deal with Tampa making his team their *****.
We lost, i admit it. Funny thing is you won't find me in a Boston Bruins thread saying things like "they had a 3-1 lead and we took them to game 7!! Derp Derp"....you know why? Because we lost....and it's over. Time to think about your team going forward.Living the dream through another team (Tampa) = admitting that your team is inferior to mine. Good for you for admitting that.

who btw are they?Jvr leaving wouldn't be 'the worst' for leaf fans.

leaffever for sure (guy overrates everybody), sticky111 and gary nylund i'm fairly sure ofwho btw are they?
you do understand that posters on a Leafs chat board do not run the team, nor are the arbiters of line-up decisions....groupthink makes nothing soleaffever for sure (guy overrates everybody), sticky111 and gary nylund i'm fairly sure of
i can't recall the names because there are too many of them but i know for a fact that many leaf posters say the things i listed and will not miss him.
of course i understand that. what is your point?you do understand that posters on a Leafs chat board do not run the team, nor are the arbiters of line-up decisions....groupthink makes nothing so
then why say it as some sort of validation to back up your notionof course i understand that. what is your point?
i never said it as "some sort of validation to back up [my] notion". i was responding to someone else who called me out on me "assum[ing] the worst when it comes to the Leafs". i was involved in two different conversations. you got them mixed up as onethen why say it as some sort of validation to back up your notion
