Either go young or try to win now. Have to stop this in the middle nonsense. If we add two more older pieces does the team look ready to do damage? NO Well, the decision should be a bit more clear one would think.
The leafs are like a guy trying to get that girl that doesn't like him. In the end they are confused why it didn't work out.
What did Franson say in this article that makes you think he has a high regard for himself?
Because he doesn't think he should be a healthy scratch? This is your whole premise of Franson having a high regard for himself?

Is this your proof? What NHL player doesn't think he is good enough to be in the lineup 3 years ago by the way, under Ron Wilson
If you think I am wrong that it is almost 100% Carlyle was talking about Gardiner. I have a lot of reporters that think the same thing.

BTW, you never answered my question, does rover by it's hockey definition fit Franson? All all these news paper reports conclude it was Gardiner Carlyle was talking about, not one points to Franson.
This: “I expected to come here and be a key part of this team,” Franson says. “I had eight goals last year and was plus-10 on a team that couldn’t score.
A player who averaged less minutes a game then 7 other D man on Nashville .....expecting to be a key part! If that is not a high opinion of him self then I do not know what is!
A player wanting to not be a healthy scratch, to be a key part of a team. God I sure hope we have more players that have high opinions of themselves.
I know some want players that do not want to be key parts of a team. Sign them up! We can all use more low self esteem players that want to be healthy scratches on this team.
This was your smoking gun? What a horrible connecting of the dots.

That's just a blanket statement, it doesn't mean anything. Nonis probably already knows which players he has no intention of trading, and he'll gauge the value of the ones that are available.

i can't recall another instance where a team that was not rebuilding announced their willingness to move any player on the roster.
I'm not really sure what the Leafs are doing
the final stage of the Leafs' retooling plan is to trade the players they've accumulated over the past six seasons for better players that will turn the team into a winning one.
Just Heard Darren Dreger on the radio a moment ago, saying Leafs may try to convert Gardiner back to forward.
Something I have been advocating for since this past season.
No I am not the real Shanny, we just think alike.
Woo! Let's turn out best defensemen into a forward. Should be a fun season.
I look at it this way, Jake might be one of our better fwds. If he is our best defenceman, which he is not. It is a dubious distinction.
Rielly is almost better than him already, give him another 20 games and he will be well past Gardiner as a defenceman.
I should of said arguably. I'd take him over Dion all things considered. Seonnd among defensemen at over 21 mins per game only beyond Dion and produced the same amount as him despite playing a minute less on the PP per game. He's also not going to be paid 7 million long-term like Phaneuf. I'd say he does a pretty good job.
Right. Because development is linear. Just don't come out with a pitchfork ready to chase him out of town if he struggles next season.
