GDT: Game 16: Toronto Maple Leafs @ Florida Panthers | Feb 18 | 7:30 PM | SNET-O | FAN 590

[Lebanese Leaf]

Good luck boys. As a long time sth have had only good experiences with your fans ( the antithesis of your French Canadian neighbors.)

Lets play hard and injury free.

Cheers.

Yea nobody likes them lol.

 

[Lebanese Leaf]

Why is Huberdeau on the wing for them? I thought they would groom him as a future #1C. Montreal seems to be playing Gally at C even though he's only 18.

Nonis on TSN at 5:30 apparently.

I don't have stats (And didn't read the thread, so, I'm sure someone has them); but we are horrible against Florida. I am preparing for a loss; but would be really happy with a win, more-so than I should against the Panthers.

since the 04-05 lockout we are 13-13-2 against the Panthers

Kill them.

When Frattin came up, he only had 2 games to burn of waiver restrictions. His is obviously now burned.

How many players can be on the roster, both Press Box and dressed?

Waive Komi.

I also don't think Jake is completely over his concussion and keeping him down on the Marlies, gives him the time to get over that injury and we do have 8 D, so even sitting two players for the rest of the year, will help not only him but until a place is available, maybe a trade for one, will give him the opportunity.

 

[AngryScotsman]

This should be easy, should be a win.

Is this your first Leafs game?

 

[zeke]

23

Waive Komi.

he can't be waived. he has a no-movement clause.

it must be.

What happens when Frattin/Reimer are back, and eventually Lupul (posted this in the Gunnar thread) assuming we're healthy?

van Riemsdyk - Bozak - Kessel
Komarov - Grabovski - Kulemin
MacArthur - Kadri - Orr
McLaren - McClemment - Brown
X: Steckel

Phaneuf - Holzer
Liles - Kostka
Fraser - Franson
X: Komisarek, Gunnarsson

Coming back: Reimer, Frattin, Lupul.

Obviously Rynnas out when Reimer comes back, but you gotta think Steckel/MacArthur will be traded, or the AHL d-men get sent down which I wouldn't mind.

I just watched him in the marlies game this afternoon, he was the most dominant player in the game. He was playing fearless and was dangling around the Aero's like they were pylons. He is ready!

my radio had a lot of static but i think nonis said he would trade a pick for short term help but said he wouldnt trade a younger player for short term help....and he said he will be as patient as he has to be......like i said i couldnt understand it 100 percent so if anyone wants to add or correct this .....

 

[Pyrophorus]

With the numbers situation, maybe Jake should stay down.

Just another NHLer, who we can't bring up.

In essence yes. He said he'd move a pick to fill a hole in our roster but he wouldn't trade a pile of young prospects in an effort to win now because we aren't at that stage. Pretty consistent with what he's said all along.

yeah...he also said that ownership is okay with a rebuild....the first thing i got from the trading of picks was a offersheet for ror.....who knows tho

 

[leafspring*]

He's never said he won't trade veterans for youth/picks though.

he needs to do the consistently now.

Man I'm really nervous about this week for the Leafs .. Panthers tonight, Tampa tomorrow, Buffalo Thursday, and Sens on Saturday ... 4 teams that are struggling and that the Leafs should win all of them, but given the last handful of years I'm afraid they'll stumble on a good chance to gain valuable points in the standings.

Looks like Rynnas will get a start this week at some point

Size.


Hes doing awesome on wing. With Bjugstad coming up end of yr/next yr to center, the pieces fit.
