why wouldnt he be playing? I think he played in the Spengler cup a year or 2 ago.

He had an interesting interview on Leafs Lunch today. I'd hate to see him make a return and play up to his original potential for another team.

lol dream on pogge.

 

[nsleaf]

Hope he qualifies for pogey!

 

[Nithoniniel]

Shocking. I never would have thought a hockey player would like to get back to the league with the most prestige and the biggest salaries. He must be one of only a few to have that particular dream.

 

[IAmBobo]

Sign Pogge, trade Bernier for a 3rd

 

[mcleex]

Add that to the list of busts Leafs drafted

10 out of 10 on the sarcasm scale
I laughed when he said "I really want a 1 way, but I might need to work my way to that."

 

[JamesFromLondon]

I would entertain a tryout chance, but a one way deal? lol, just no.

 

[MJ65]

What's the harm in inviting him to the camp as a tryout?

 

[Hunters Rule]

Sign Pogge, trade Bernier for a 3rd

Hopefully for a 2nd...... but yes trade Bernier

 

[pspot]

So you're saying there's a chance

Leafs could still win that trade

Seriously though he should sign in Arizona. If Burke can make dubynk in to a goalie pogge could too

 

[Antropovsky]

He was up for play of the year I believe this year... i followed him a bit, and he still seems to rely on acrobats to make saves, seems to be a fish out of water type style... and bounces out a lot of rebounds. Maybe he could be a backup?

 

[TheTotalPackage]

Free wallet?

 

[senor martinez]

He's alright, but he's not real.

So could a number of other AHLers who are younger and have upside.

I don't see a problem with inviting him to camp, but I never really liked his style and I'm not too eager to revisit that era.

 

[TheProspector]

**** to the no.

 

[Banic]

Give him a try out. Why not call up Raycroft and Toskala too while we're at it.

 

[Wafflewhipper]

If he was a Swedish player with those sv% and gaa he would be mentioned. Just saying.

 

[Maple Leaf]

Sign Pogge, trade Bernier

Came here to say this

Pogge in net

It's me Auston!!!!!!!!!

His interview on Leafs Lunch today was really good. I came out of it with a completely different view of him, and it's one of respect.

Basically said that after 9(?) seasons of pro hockey, he can see now that he wasn't prepared to play in the NHL when he was in Toronto (not only himself not being ready, but wasn't really given any guidance or mentorship).

 

[Shwaguy*]

Could you imagine if he comes back and his actually amazing?

JFJ pressured him and pushed him to early because he was a dumba$$
