Did everyone who suggested Milan Lucic forget that David Backes is a UFA?
Both of whom are about to become grossly over paid.
Leafs need to stay away.

Somebody??? Anybody???What happened between Valiev and Babcock?
Somebody??? Anybody???
Thanks, I thought there was something near the end of the 3rd between them.I dont think anything happened other than babs talking to him about what he did wrong on the first goal. He still played over 14 minute wnich iirc is his most toi since the call up.
Perhaps that poster was thinking of something I am unaware of?
I don't like Lucic. I hope he never plays for us. Fortunately, I don't see us going after him, nor he wanting to be with us either.

So?
Lucic would be the absolute perfect fit for the Leafs. AINEC
I would give him 6.5 to 7 without even thinking about it.
That man is a force to be reckoned with and he sticks up for teammates all the time and not many guys in the NHL want to tangle with him.
Sorry son but we have a ton of cap space and at this time, will struggle just to get to the floor.
When you bring in a Lucic and a Stamkos, you also improve your team enough to make the playoffs next season.
Also offer one of the best D on the UFA list and blam, you have a playoff team.
YUP. Kids being bullied and taken liberties with.
I guarantee Lou sees it too plus Babs would be like "Lou, I need a tough guy that can play"
Lou will find a big strapping player that can fight and play.
Welcome to the Leafs Milan Lucic.
Why do we need a Lucic type player when we have Uncle Leo and for a lot cheaper?
Somebody??? Anybody???
The announcers said on video replays of the Leafs' bench something along the lines of "Here's Mike Babcock playing bad cop with Valiev over a mistake on the ice, now here's the assistant coach (D.J. Smith?) playing good cop." I'll just assume that Babcock is a professional coach and knows how to apply different forms of coaching psychology on different sorts of individuals. Maybe he sees Valiev as an athlete who needs a kick in the rear end. My personal take on the way Valiev has played is that he needs to keep his feet moving. He often slows down or even stops once the puck is on his stick.
Wish we had traded Bozak. Not thrilled about his return. If we are to move up the standings, let the kids do it, not Bozak pulling a Devereaux.
Kadri > Schenn
Tavares > Hedman > Kadri > or = to Schenn.
and that's all on Devereaux?
and that's all on Devereaux?
Why not. I need to blame somebody even if it's not true.
I'd just rather finish with the kids. Feels better wherever we finish.
