Cap space be damned. (Or trade? :0)

Strange.. Where could he fit into the lineup, if at all?

 

[I Believe]

Hope we don't have a surprise injury or something.

 

[namttebih]

We looked slow against OTT in the preseason. I really liked the Abbott-Kadri-Raymond Smurf line. Crazy fast.

JVR-Bozak-Kessel
Lupul-Bolland-Kuli
Abbott-Kadri-Raymond
Devane-McClement-Orr

 

[smitty10]

Why?

 

[Rayzorexe]

Abbott and Devane make about 650k and 701k in terms of cap hit so I don't think its much of a problem with Fraser on LTIR

 

[samwitch]

Lupul - Kadri - Abbott

That line starts drills at practice. Watching the Game Day Skate show on LeafsTV.

 

[The Reaper]

This is getting odd

 

[Coop]

Kulemin isn't on the ice

 

[samwitch]

Kuli missing?

 

[EtoDemerzel]

Kuli missing?

Yes - missing from the lineup today.

 

[Parkdale]

I'm confused with the cap situation on the Leafs. How does Capgeek list today's AAV at $3.8M with only Fraser and Mclaren on LTIR and Bodie, Ashton, and Devane counted on roster before the Abbott recall.

We are so soft now without Clarkson and Fraser, I wish we had some toughness w/ skill able to play on the third line.

 

[crump]

Kulemin injured, or traded?.....

 

[The Reaper]

Kulie is either injured or was traded and hasn't been announced yet

 

[frankthetank91]

I can't see Kulemin getting traded so early into the season.

But man were looking soft now can't wait till Davey Clarkson comes back.

If Kule is injured why not play Ashton and Devane? Kessel will score enough against the Sens to make up for the lack of offense.

It could also be personal *knock on wood*.

Doubt capgeek is accurate.

 

[definedMF]

I will shed a tear if he is traded, Kuli is the most persistent player i've seen evolve in front of me.

Kessel is the only one who doesn't throw the body so, ur description of us being soft is wrong

 

[mj13]

We can't trade Kulemin. He is a big part of our team. You need guys like him to win a cup

 

[naturalnumbas]

Strange. Hopefully Kuli is ok, wouldn't be too surprised if he ends up moved...

 

[ChrisCall]

I'm really high on Abbott's ability... and i put myself on the line to say so any number of times back at the draft. So i'm glad to see he's risen as far up in the organisations books. He may not be Marty St. Louis, but he should be fun to watch.

 

[I Believe]

Why do people think Kulemin is getting traded? That makes 0 sense right about now

 

[frankthetank91]

By normal team standards were not soft but now we have a reputation for being one of if not the toughest teams in the league and teams especially our rivals dress as many tough guys as they can to prepare for us.

I guess Abbott wouldn't be too bad but Bodie and Ashton have looked pretty good in bottom 6 roles.
