    I would love Backstrom, but the cost would be enormous. It would realistically cost Schenn+Kadri+1st ++++, and the Leafs aren't in any position to be dealing a first round pick in this year's draft, let alone our two rising stars.

    Fuck! Just saw that Parise got the 'C'. There goes the rest of my hope that he would have hit FA. :(

    On the Steckel trade,

    His best season was 19 points, and one time he almost killed Sidney Crosby. Then again he's 1.1M, and a 4th round pick is a ham sandwich, so at least the price is right.

    Oh and he likes kittens

    Maybe we'll move out one of our subterranean-depth centers?

    Unless that 4th round pick is used by Detroit, then it's a Hall of Famer.

    Mike brown is shaving his moustache. The leafs will have no 'staches to draw power from on opening day.

    If moustaches had a Fenwick, Mike Brown's would be:

    In other news:

    EA has released it's NHL 2011-2012 predictions, via its NHL 12 game. Results here. Surprise?

    Sidney Crosby is so OP he only plays 65 games, but powers his team to the Cup and takes the Conn Smythe. Clearly needs a nerf, what is NHL thinking?

    But seriously I lol'd during those rounds in the playoffs where EA SPORTS near perfectly predicted a round-and-a-half, and, for a moment, everyone looked to a videogame for sagacious advice.

They still need a center, Connolly aside, and maybe a fresh start and different cast would benefit him and it would also potentially benefit the Caps.
    No I hear ya. I think it's too early to give up on Backstrom, and I don't think he needs to put up 100 points to be an effective player. He chipped in on the penalty kill and took his share of defensive zone draws last year. But I do think that's too much money if you're not going to be a top-10 center, both offensively and defensively, which he wasn't last season. The good news is, with the salary cap and floor both growing like they are now, there will always be a taker if the Caps do decide to unload him at some point. But I wouldn't wish being traded to the Leafs on my worst enemy.

    Seeing this thread, feels good! First Flames game is on Saturday and I'll be home in Calgary to watch it too. I tried to convince my brother to buy me tickets, but I don't think he wants to drop that much money for me haha

    I am utterly upset that I have to miss the Hawk's home opener Saturday because I will be at a wedding. At least I Can watch Friday's game in Big D.

    After 40+ years, one would think you'd get it, but you'd have a very, very good chance of losing tomorrow night even with Connolly, Kadri, and MarcArthur...

    I predict:

    EAST
    Northeast: Boston
    Atlantic: Pittsburgh
    Southeast: Washington

    Plus: Buffalo, Tampa Bay, Philadelphia, New York Rangers, Montreal - in no particular order.

    WEST:
    Central: Nashville (I just see Chicago slumping again and Detroit dealing with age and I predict an injury bug as well... if I get it wrong, no one really acts suprised, I'm just taking a shot in the dark with my gut on CHI/DET underperforming, but if I get it right I'm a fucking psychic.)
    Northwest: Vancouver
    Pacific: Los Angeles

    Plus: Minnesota, Chicago, Detroit, San Jose, Anaheim - in no particular order.

    For the finals: Pittsburgh vs. Anaheim

    40+ years of no cup. Leafs were pretty darn good from early 90s up until ~2003

    But yes, I don't expect anything magical with this team

    Also: I predict once again that the Bruins win the cup.

    No one can reasonably expect a team to win a Championship every single year, but if your team isn't winning a championship at least once per decade/generation, its generally seen as a failure.... just like no one really cares/remembers how good Ottawa was this past decade cause they never got the Cup and now they suck once more.
