Do you remember when the leafs, for the first time exceeded 100 points in a season?

The toronto centrist sport media could not shut up about this great accomplishment, and how they were on the right track etc etc etc .............. totally forgetting that Ottawa had done the same thing a few seasons earlier ............

I have not changed my opinion from the last 2 years. The best player available on the market is Evander Kane. In the right situation he can be a tremendous addition to any team.

Really good power forwards are precious.

I understand there is a better than 50% probability that he will screw it up.

But, also the chance that if you put him on the right team with good leadership it might work. Not really sure I would pull the trigger on Kane...but so tempting.

The leafs media is now hammering a former leaf captain for finally coming to his senses, and recognizing one of the top three players in today's NHL.

You know, Ottawa could (still) really solve this entire ordeal by trading Cody Ceci.

There is little doubt in my mind Ceci is rated, perhaps even highly rated by many general managers. They won't have a better opportunity.

Ceci is entering his age 24 season and is probably Ottawa's fourth best defender. Maybe fifth. They can turn this roster squeeze into a win.

Didn't Maclean win the coach of the year a few years back. Then get fired a year later?

Individual awards are relatively meaningless. It really means very little in terms of overall team success, and they very frequently don't go to the players/management that are actually contribute the most to their teams excelling. There are exceptions, like Doughty last year, but it's rare.

Again, Matthews will win the Calder this year, and I could care less. We all know he's an elite player in the making, but I care much more about the fact that the Leafs having the most impressive group of players breaking into the league than any team in the Eastern Conference. There is no award for that, and I don't care.

Only one award that matters, and the Leafs are in a far better position than the Sens to get it.

And with this, I'm sure we can end the thread.

dorion will fit right in with past great winners like don maloney and mike gillis


if anything, boucher deserves coach of the year for squeezing out as many wins as did from the junk roster dorion gave him.

For a leaf fan, you seem to care so much about what may be happening in Ottawa.

Phanuef's Wife is from LA, so there may be something there, but I doubt it will translate into a trade.

In my opinion, yes, absolutely. Playoffs included.

Most importantly, there is no other rookie that comes close to projecting into nearly as good a player.

I would suggest to you that Matt Murray was by far the best rookie last season.

Does Matthews have two Stanley Cups?
