I posted this around 1:00pm right after I posted the comment from below. Almost all of what I posted on Shattenkirk and the Leafs comes from others.

These are you're first posts on this subject (all before 1:00 pm)

You understand this is the kind of comment that causes the rest of the league to laugh at you guys. This morning it is reported the Leafs are trying to sign Shattenkirk. You know it will cost more on an 8 year term and duplicate the same age profile for Phaneuf.

Shattenkirk is a little better offensively than Phaneuf. Phaneuf is much stronger defensively and has a much stronger physical presence. He is also a stronger presence in the room. Shattenkirk is not a team leader wherever he has been.

So, what is the point?
- spatso

Word is Leafs are desperate to upgrade their defense. If they sign Shattenkirk at 8 years for $65m, some of you guys are going to look somewhat silly.
- spatso

If the Leafs sign Shattenkirk for 8 years and $65m. We will all wonder why they did not hang on to Phaneuf who is the better defensive/physical player. Leafs need defense, not more offensive presence.

Fact 1 reported Shattenkirk wants an 8 year deal upwards $8m average annual

Fact 2 reported Leafs have an interest in signing Shattenkirk

Fact 3 reported he has already turned down a deal at plus $6m

Fact 4 it is foggy on the lake but I am going fishing anyway

in fact say it, several times


None of that answers why you said leafs will sign for 8 years.

I thought it was because that is exactly what TSN was reporting. He posted several non TSN links none of which mentioned 8 years for 65 million to support that. Is that not enough for you?

As long as it's a short term deal, no worries. Makes it easier to trade guys like Bozak and JVR for help elsewhere.

Edit: Marleau, too.
- Feeling Glucky?

So you'd be ok with the leafs bringing in both Thornton & Marleau, as long as they turned around and dealt Bozak and JVR?

As long as trading in Bozak and JVR brought in defensive help, and Thornton and Marleau were short-term deals.

Neither player is a long-term piece for the Leafs anyways.

To elaborate, neither are long term pieces, and obviously neither of Thornton or Marleau would be either.

Basically replacing JVR and Bozak for nothign more than short term salary, and picking up MORE youth? Yeah, sure. I mean, Bozak and JVR, I wouldn't mind keeping either. But their contracts are up, and I'd rather not give them a raise, so it would be nice to get some futures for them. Long term, makes the team younger and quite likely better.

This.

Guys, I think spazy confused Shattenkirk with Draisaitl

Ryan Rishaug ✔ @TSNRyanRishaug
My sense is Draisaitl ask on an 8 year deal could push 9m per season. Oilers I'd guess would think 7-8 range based on comps

...and the Leafs with the oilers?


or maybe he's just an idiot who makes poop up.

Who knows.

Back from a great morning of bass fishing. Boat brought in 5 nice bass, two over 3 lbs. I got skunked. Nothing. Not even close.

Rained most of the time. Steady but light rain. Had on squal jackets with hoods. Sounds strange but there is nothing more peaceful than staying dry while fishing in a gentle rain with a good strong coffee.

It'll be my first time up to our cottage this year. It's too far from Toronto, to go too frequently. Boat access only too, so you can't really leave friday night, on account of trying to find it in pitch black through a lot of small islands.

One of my best friends from school has a cottage on Crowe lake, I've spent a lot of time there, and before that, we used to go crash his uncle's cottage on Loughbrough (not too far down the lake from Akroyd's place).

A few beers at the Battersea boathouse.... We used to run into Gilmour, Ellett, and Wendel Clark there, pretty frequently.

Prock and Spatso having a civil conversation.

lock the thread up.
