Well Frattin's offensive cap is probably what Mac provides, granted Matt is much more physical. So you have to make sure Frattin is ready to make the transition before making such a decision.

Mac could be highly sought at the trade deadline. Like I said earlier, annual 20 goal scorers don't grow on trees. Atleast a 2nd rounder.
 
When is the last time a player of Connoly's caliber has been placed on waivers? I mean, he doesn't have a terrible contract, could easily have a bounce back year.

This. Frattin has potential, but hasn't proved himself yet. Let him carry the Marlies and play top line role. When he is ready, he will play, especially if injuries occur.
 
You dream of this day..... snif snif


Army, Lombo and Connelly. Soft feather line no more.

no more circles around the entire team by lambo. whom i dubbed as the leagues best figure skater
no more getting beat up by Denis out of all people in the world by Army
 
Connolly for nothing makes no sense, there is something wrong with that picture to me. He has value to someone maybe not at his salary but certainly SOME value. Involved in some trade is more likely.
 
So what happens if we trade Bozak in a package for Luongo, now? Kadri is our first line center for the whole season, with no possible support or replacement if he falters?

We've gone from holding him back to throwing him to the wolves.

Edit: Read this a few pages back, and feel better now:

Hes not going to get bought out. He'll be traded or assigned to the Marlies.

Everyone needs to read and understand this.

Take buyout possible out of the thread title, it's confusing people.

Do you think Nonis would let him go for free if there was even one taker at full price?

Some of you guys act like Nonis has no idea how to deal with these situations.

Or do you think he deserved a roster spot over Kadri/Frattin, who seemed to have outplayed him in camp.

Nonis is clearly not thinking about trading Bozak unless another C is coming in...Obviously.

He is not Pejorative Slured.:laugh:
 
Grabovski, I don't see us winning a cup with him. He isn't great defensively, 55 points offensively isn't going to cut it. While sometimes he is our best player, he's been lazy in other games.[/QUOTE]

Did you see the game vs boston?

I dont even need to tell you which game.. you should know.

Hes a warrior. And i want him on my team.

Don't you think Nonis probably has as much forsight as you, and would attempt to fill the holes if that was the case? It's not like he is going to forget to have enough centers. :facepalm:

The type of stupidity hockey management professionals are accused of is unreal.
 
I like new management because they do only one transaction per day, which gives fans plenty of time to discuss it without disruption.
So thoughtful of fans. :nod:

PS. No. Really. One day it's Lombo and pick and fans go on "like" frenzy in fb. Next day it's Connolly on waivers and fanbase feels almost as good as if we won SC.
 
according to all the fancy new metrics, Grabo's not just good defensively, he's excellent defensively.

There is only one person that throws him under the bus, its Interactiff clone accounts. People who see the game for what it is know he is a good player. You can argue 5.5m contract but you can argue anything really and in this case you can't discount the fact he is a good hockey player because he is.
 
If noone claims him, I could see Vancouver giving a 3rd or 4th round pick for him if we retain half his salary. Their second line is pretty much decimated with injuries at the moment.
 
Orr will have a spot, rightfully so. Love all you guys saying Brown can do the fighting. Do you think Lucic, Thorton, Sestito, Shelly, Boulton ect remotely even think they could be in tough with Brown? Mike Brown will get zero respect from the big guys in the n.e. moreso Brown shouldn't have to fight these guys. I love all you legends in here, trust me when I say the skilled players feel more comfortable when playing these tough teams knowing Orr is in the line up. Make up any excuse you can to not agree with this. The leafs have no one that garners any respect in regards to the big guys in the east other than Orr. Ask Lucic if he will drop them with Orr again, that kid hasn't been humbled like that before. Orr is also highly respected and liked by his peers, if you keyboard gms don't like it log onto you Xbox and do something about it.
