And seriously, how many players have Buffalo lost today?

Stewart
Mitchell
Flynn
Neuwirth

can we give this core a nickname?

they deserve a nickname more than the muskoka 5.

kessel, lupul, phaneuf, bozak and the crew need a nickname.

Term contracts are difficult (and seldom) moved at the deadline these days .. Not surprised to see the Leafs not moving them. Disappointed, but I expected a quiet day from them.

Was hoping for a late round pick for one of Jokinen, Booth, and/or Holzer .. Got one of out it so I won't complain.

Next up is the draft .. Phaneuf and Kessel better be moved there, and Bozak/Lupul should be also moved around the off-season

You basically summed up my thoughts on the day Bert.

Come draft time is when my palms will start sweating if some of this rotten core isn't cut away.

What the heck PITT? Traded Depres for Lovejoy????

Last 2 wks has seen Leafs trade Franson, Santorelli, Winnik, Clarkson, Jokinen and acquired Sill and Erixon. Draft week could be fun.

Gee.. Thanks Henny....

For all those that believe that there are better deals to be had in the summer or at the draft, I have a bridge in Brooklyn that might interest you. Great price, too....

How often do players with major term get moved at the deadline?

Not often.

 

[Bardown warrior]

This just means that draft day is going to be AMAZING

 

[Gary Batman]

So, all that Nonis was able to get it done was trade pending UFAs in Franson, Winnik, Santorelli and he got a call from Columbus on Clarkson which no GM would ever refuse.

Given the return he got for our UFAs v/s what others got after him tell me that he is nothing special. As I always thought, he is the 2nd worst manager in NHL (to Oilers, which they again proved with Petry trade today).

All in all, Nonis dug this team in a huge hole and am hoping that he is fired in the exit meetings. He overpaid pretty much everyone, gave away NTCs, gave away draft picks, and the result? A bottom 5 team for a salary cap roster.

Fire this clown!

I am basing my opinions not on what did (or rather did not) happen today, but his entire tenure with Leafs, starting with Burke's right hand man.

All our core pieces will most likely be traded in the offseason or at the draft. We all knew this coming into the deadline and traded all the guys who are UFA.

Why would you think that when none of them were of interest to anybody today? Where was there even a rumour of expressed interest, beside Phaneuf? Nobody got even mentioned. So where is this renewed interest supposed to come from and why? Perhaps, we are just stuck with these bozos.

Give it up already.

Another deadline another disappointment.

Guy is the biggest brown nose **** smearing ass kisser on the Leafs. It is ****ing annoying

 

[Mitchy]

OT, but one time in NHL 14, I traded Clarkson (1M retained) for Charlie Coyle.

I agree. Do it right now. There is no reason to keep him around any longer.

I won't lie, I was expecting at least one of the 'contracts' to be traded. I guess Clarkson is considered one of them so I really can't complain all that much.

They get off the hook for now... but they better get in gear this summer. No excuse. Gotta get rid of most of them.

Dodged a bullet!

Might have had to promote from the Marlies and those players would have been hungry to impress.

Burke's Buddies reign supreme!

 

[ACC1224]

Teams don't have the cap space right now...

It's amazing that some spend so much time and effort following this and have no idea how it works.

 

[HellasLEAF]

Trade deadline has become nothing but sitting around watching these guys talk for hours. The odd minor deal trickling in.

 

[LeafsTop6]

What the heck PITT? Traded Depres for Lovejoy????

what! whered you get that from? comeon... thats sad

 

[JMcLeaf]

 

[kihei]

The good new, the only good news, is the organization is one day closer to being rid of Nonis.

 

[yubbers]

Seriously.

Ditch Nonis. Like now
