Pags has 5 points in 6 games with a 60% FO% playing with Brassard and Komarov. But Lou is senile.

What's crazy is how people will throw their opinion around but not understand our teams needs.
I don't mean to brag but since you guys brought it up.
Insane to see how well the Isles are playing. You didn't need a saviour, but a true warrior for the playoffs who will do what's asked and needed, and Uncle Lou delivered by landing the underrated prize of the trade deadline.
Isles are a fun bunch, 2 more to round 2!

You're one of the few good posters in that thread! I hope you get that conditional third round pick too btw.

Thanks for the re-read, some posts in there certainly did not age well. The usual suspects I saw too.

Spot on, except for one small detail.
It's not 'Uncle Lou'. It's 'Uncle Leo' and 'Senile Lou' (said with affection).

Looks like the Leafs are suffering 'seller's remorse' about Lou.
They have a thread about the worst GM over the last decade, and the votes are currently:
Nonis: 133
Burke: 40
Dubas: 39
Lou: 2
While I personally think (and voted) that Burke was worst, partially because he hired totally-out-of-his-depth Nonis, and that it's still too early to properly assess Dubas, it's nice to see Lou get so much appreciation.
Who is the worst GM the Leafs have had in the past decade?

If we widen the scope a bit, we'll find Gord Stellick and Punch Imlach. But I love swingin' down memory lane.

I saw Punch as an outgrowth of Harold Ballard. I thought Imlach's time came and went by 1982.
You might appreciate this story. In 1981 or 82 I was was outside of Yankee Stadium watching the players leave after a game and trying to get a couple of autographs. The Yankees and visiting team both exited through the same gate. We saw some of the Blue Jays traveling party and I recognized Tom Cheek, the Blue Jays radio PxP man, from their yearbook. I yelled out at him "Hey how's Harold Ballard doing" and he yelled back "You mean El Jerko Supremo". I still laugh about that one today.

Yeah, but then that first rounder is 31st overall. Give me the 22nd overall pick over that.

Yeah well go search for Buffalo Sabres fans threads regarding their Islander pick circa 2012-2014... Did not work out so well for them.
Just take the 31st pick with the extra third. @6stringmofo has got it right... the good karma will guarantee that you get the steal of the draft in either/both spots.

Stay safe!
No offense taken. We would be shocked as shit if we won too. It would be a miracle run that none of us would ever forget, that's for sure.
Until we're knocked out, the dream is still alive.

No more than myself, and most Isles fans.
But I also don’t see any team out there and think they are a certainty to do so either.
That’s what makes the playoffs great! Best of luck the rest of the way.

Yeah, I think everyone would be too. St Louis won it last year after being last in the NHL at Christmas. That’s what makes sports fun.

Hmm, does it really matter? I just went through a couple of drafts and it seems like the players picked between 20-30 are very similar. It’s not like you will get a gem at 22 and a fringe NHLer at 31. You should be happy with the extra 3rd rounder

Well, you have to remember Ottawa might not stay at 22. There’s a chance they could try to move up. Either way, you can’t blame me for wanting the higher pick.

Even if Tampa won the cup when they won 62 games they'd be shocked. It's no easy feat.
