Yes but 1) the draft is no guarantee and 2) If the players do turn out to be stars how do they afford them.

There was approximately 700 billion comments on this board about how the Leafs wouldn't be able to afford 4 stars, and ice a team. It's debatable that they even *should* have paid them all.


Saying Ottawa has the potential of having a bunch of young stars also means they face the same dilemma eventually, only with a cheap-ass owner.

When some rich conglomerate, willing to spend comes in a builds a new arena with adequate parking (good lord.) then I will believe in this Ottawa rebuild.

I don't disagree with this.......as long as melnyk still owns the team there will be a dark cloud hanging over the rebuild. that being said, they haven't made any "rebuild blunders" yet, so there is certainly hope.

I think the one mistake that the leafs made, that Ottawa obviously will never make, was bringing in an extremely high priced UFA, which kind of "set the market" for contracts in Toronto.

Melnyk will obviously never pay a player 12 mil per....in fact, he's already got his franchise dman locked in at 8, so right now that's the precedent that's been set.

This thread is over 10 years old. Think about it, this started well before the Kessel trade.......the first one.

At the beginning of the thread it was mentioned the Leafs were in a better position for a rebuild. Fair enough, but the Sens were less than two seasons from a SCF appearance. Since then, only one of those teams has even won a playoff series.

That same team now has 3 1st round draft picks upcoming, quite possibly 2 in the top 5. It seems to me that's a fairly quick turnaround, despite the multitude of high priced stars in Toronto that have yet to win a series.

For all the laughing you do at the expense of the Senators, they can really kick some ass in this draft alone.

Right, but everyone and their brother knew that had no business being there.

well now hold on. let's be fair. all of you guys are obsessed with and post about the other guy's team.

trolling is trolling but i'm always amazed at how people come to this thread as soon as something bad happens to the other team because it's admitting that they're in your head and that you can't stop thinking about them when somebody does that.

you made a comment about the cinderella run 3 years ago. Nobody cares. It went nowhere. Now you're projecting what I say to cover everything.

You make no sense. And you think that "gets to me". It doesn't. I think you're an idiot. A typical walmart recruit moron.

A 100 pt team going to the finals, after finishing 2nd in the division, is hardly a “Cinderella run”.

And yes, it absolutely bugs you, that despite all the turmoil and disfunction in Ottawa, they’ve still enjoyed significantly more in ice success than the leafs have, in both recent history, and the last 2 decades.

You’ll obviously never admit it, but your butthurt is obvious.

i remember him talking about being in movies and poop. trying to convince people he had a ton of celebrity friends because he apparently got his name in some credits somewhere (probably as "Gimp#2"). guy was living in a fantasy land that almost rivals the one eklund's living in.

I hated that he tried to turn every blog into a Canada vs US debate. He had such a hate on for Canada. During the 2010 olympics he was ridiculous
