Kulemin to the Marlies
I like this move. It weakens the Leafs and gives Kulemin a lot of playing time that will hopefully see him build a bit more confidence in his offensive abilities. He has been settling for the Jason Blake Special far too often lately. Maybe he and Tlusty can build some chemistry.

Stajan is back Thursday against the Habs.

More than Eric Staal scored, anyway.

Yeah
Matty is definitely a RW type guy : hard working, intelligent player who does the little things.
And like blurr was saying, I really do think he’s been a bit buried in the depth chart (not ironic as people (jerks) have labeled him a depth guy) over the years.
Everyone knew he could play the two-way game and as such he ended up being put in the 3rd line/PK role forever, and while that got him on the WJ team and has been a gold star for him in the bigs I feel like he’s finally getting the key minutes to develop and showcase what made him a big deal with the Bulls.
Pure playmaker : good head, good first pass off the end boards and now half-decent on the draws.
Too bad he hates his own shot so much. :(

He is the perfect Second line center i think.
he can do it all, put up good points and he is relativly cheap.
not to say he has done a poor job on the first line.

Me thinks maybe the writing is on the wall for Moore. His trade value can’t get any higher, and since we got him for nothing, anything we get back is profit.

That’s two people that Moore hates on the team. He is a good professional for not saying anything but there is no way he can’t be irate at this move.
