Do you have zero reading comprehension? I've said the Leafs have been my favorite team since I was born. The Kings are my 2nd favorite team
 
Gio is a leader through and through. used to love watching flames games at 10pm on hockey night in canada

These are huge killas for us :mayne: :clap: We gotta love LIFE after these ones :heart: Thank you dubas. Blackwell is SUCH A HARD ASS uppgrade on clifford's career ending season. We are now more fast and thuggish. Giordano is so charismatic. He could play a long part in the bold and the beautiful. But he also makes our D stronger. Him and brodie gon eat noses off.

I love the trade for Gio! I'm in Calgary and have seen him play for years. Obviously a leader and captain material. He's a late bloomer and seems to have the genetics to play well into his 40's like Chara or Chris Chelios. I hope they pair him with his old partner TJ Brodie. That could be a nice pairing for years to come.

Credit to Dubas for his restructuring of the defense mid-season, a pretty tough job to do. Our 2nd pairing collapsed and he found a way to adjust and provide us a solid defensive core. Probably the most physical we've had in years

kampf? odd comparison..besides their stats this year specifically(and maybe that they both pk)they arent very similar at all i dont think, hes got 1 or 2 less goals career in less than half the career games and mainly plays wing.

For those who struggle with counting higher than one, they have 2.

For those who struggle to count higher than two, they have three.

The mennell condition was not met, so they keep their second rounder which I had not realized at the time.

Being such an intellectual, I would've expected you to have glanced at the time the post was made, when most of us thought the Jets third round Draft pick we acquired earlier was the pick that was dealt as part of the package to Seattle.

We have three (3) draft picks in this year's draft. Math is hard, but counting shouldn't be.

This really shouldn't be complex, but evidently it is for some of you.

The third round pick that was dealt was not announced to be a 2024 pick at the time, and a lot of us posters believed the third round selection that was dealt was the Winnipeg Jets pick we received in the Dermott trade earlier.

That 7th rounder was flipped, but the condition was not met, which I didn't realize.

Being condescending and quoting 3 hour posts in hindsight is easy, reading between the lines, looking at the time of posts, evidently not so much.
