GDT: Blues vs Leafs - No Federko, so we'll probably win [converted]

[thewave]

One of the big reasons we're so garbage

Yeah it didn't help. I was a gunner fan for sure. Never liked the deal.

 

[Nithoniniel]

The thing is why would people want to trade Kessel, the man with the most points on our team?

Are you serious?

People have been explaining why a thousand times over by now.

Well, I've not been on the forums in a while. I'm not very informed about this.

gardiner's playing really well. he was everywhere on that PP

 

[Daisy Jane]

Why are people mad haha we want to lose.

this is the "we want to win!" thread.

As much flack as 81 gets (and deservedly so) JVR has been worse. You have to try really hard to notice him at all since the new year.

 

[Willchel Marlynder]

Nice moves Gardiner

 

[showtime8]

One of the big reasons we're so garbage

Because they flipped Gunnarsson for Polak?

 

[Nithoniniel]

This is why I've been on Gardiner for being more active, using his legs more. When he is pro-active he is a much more effective player in both ends of the ice. Having a good game.

Id trade him 10 times over before kessel

 

[burpsalot]

Healy is negative about the Leafs even when they are winning. He is just a miserable *****.

Everyone loves to hate the leafs, Healy just joins the bandwagon & Romanuk is useless. I still like Healy more than Millen, if you can imagine.

Ya. Our best defensive dman for a 3rd pairing bum

 

[yubbers]

Oh look who it is

 

[TheDancingGoalie]

Off the skate and in. Damn...

 

[Kyle93]

this is the "we want to win!" thread.

pssshhhht no one wants to win.

 

[yubbers]

You realize his plus minus is at par with Phils right?

 

[saffronleaf]

lmao. where are the reimer fanboys now? he's let in just as many as bernier, except when bernier was in net the blues were still trying. by the time reimer came in, the game had been a foregone conclusion and the blues eased up. yet reimer managed to let in just as many goals.

what a loser.

Gunner is a good hockey player. What are you talking about?

 

[Nithoniniel]

Well, I've not been on the forums in a while. I'm not very informed about this.

Ah okey.

The main reasons would be:

1) Age. We are moving towards a 4-5 years rebuild and when it's done, Kessel will be on the decline. This would give our core group an age spread that makes the team hard to build. A better use of assets would be to trade him while he has a ton of value and build a core group that will start moving into their prime in 4 years.

2) Team personality. Kessel is the best player, the guy that defines our team. As long as he's on the team, he will have a tremendous effect on how this team carries itself. To change this, as it's something most would say is a problem, he needs to be moved out.

What if we just get new goalies then?

I guess it's been a long day, so I won't pour any gas on the fire.

But if this is one of the things that is the issue, then we have more problems.

No, we don't trade Kessel. Dion, Lupul etc. sure but not Kessel. We wont be able to replace him (Except maybe if we draft Marner)

 

[Wendelstache]

How many goals has Bernier let in tonight?

its a push today, both let in 3 goals with a .824 Save%.

 

[Nithoniniel]

Man that was AWFUL by Polak. Not that it matters at this point. Still.

Id trade him 10 times over before kessel

Yeah. A lot of people bring up his contract. Well by the time we are done rebuilding, his contract will be up and he'll want a new one, probably looking to cash in after having been on a "cheap" one for so long.

Best asset management would be to move him.

I see. Thank you for telling me this.
