IMO the Leafs are actually in a good position in terms of young good prospects. Bozak, Kadri, Stalberg, Boyce, Brent, Kulemin, Tlusty, Hanson, andeven Dale Mitchell are all good young forwards that are trying to make our team. For defence we have guys like Jessse Blacker, Gunnarsson, and Mikus. Obviouslya team can always build and improve through the draft, but we're definitely in a good position with our prospects/young guys.Originally Posted by Carlos Tevez
Congrats to the Bruins for raping Brian Burke in this deal. Kessel isn't worth 3+ draft picks. So much for building for the future. Burke is falling into the same trap as all the previous Leafs GMs who failed...sacrifice the future for immediate gain.
It really just depends on how well Toskala does......no one knows how long it'll be before Monster takes over the #1 spot if he does.Originally Posted by J1GOKU
yeah at the very least i expect him to get the bulk of the starts in the 2nd half but what are the chances he takes over before?
I say no deal should be examined until a few years down the road.......2 or whatever. RIGHT NOW, the Bruins let go of Kessel for NOTHING, sowouldn't that mean the Leafs won the deal?Originally Posted by AddictedToFreshKicks
Bruins won the deal.... No way Phil Kessel is worth what the Leafs gave up.
"From what I saw -- and it happened really fast -- but I saw Phaneuf kinda go up in the air," said Biron. "I'd like to see the replay on that but it definitely looked like feet went up and he came across head hunting and those kinds of hits are what the league is trying to take away from the game."
"If you're going to do that, at least respond to the challengers after that," said Biron. "I've never seen Scott Stevens back down to a fight after he hit a guy on the blue-line coming across. If you're going to play that way, then be the whole package and play that way, and that's where we had a big problem with that."
this is what came to mind
Toskala's gotta be on a short leash though, so he'll probably get his shot sooner than later.Originally Posted by cquan05

the thing is...for bruins fans, we were as close to going all the way as we have been in SO long. and now, we lost our leading goal scorer, and wedidn't even replace him. it's not like, oh we got rid of our 35 goal guy and got a 20 goal guy. we got NOTHING in return for the next couple years. bythe time those draft picks that we got actually make it to the NHL, god knows what the rest of our team will be like.Originally Posted by AddictedToFreshKicks

The New York Rangers agreed to terms with restricted free agent Brandon Dubinsky on a 2-year, $3.7 million deal Saturday.
According to Newsday, Dubinsky was originally looking for a 4-year, $16 million deal while the Rangers made a one-year qualifying offer of $522,500.
Dubinsky thought he was worth $4 million a year? Kessel at least puts points up on the board.
