Toronto playing another home game on Family Day. 1:00 PM start so we're 5 minutes into the 1st at this point. Watch to see Joe Colborne continue to light it up, and push the play of Nazem Kadri.
Andrew Engelage is back in goal, and the Marlies are looking for their 2nd straight win.
Oh and RYAN HOLLWEG PLAYS FOR SAN ANTONIO. Just saying. Fun times.

The lines for most of the game on Sat were:
Brunnstrom – Colborne – Cowan
Kadri – Mitchell – Voros
Scott – Foster – Hamilton
Mueller – Zigomanis – Hodgman
They pretty much just ran 4 lines for most of the game.
The Foster line was eating up the Griffins’ defence. Zigomanis and Kadri were also carving them up in OT.

Duration, duration, duration.
Komisarek’s salary is front-loaded, and he gets paid 3.5M for the last two years of his contract. Bad, but moveable to a team on an internal budget with a weak defensive corps.
Campbell gets even salary for the duration of his contract, which makes him less moveable for the two years he’s signed longer than Komisarek, not including the 8-team NTC. He’ll also be interfering with the period in which we intend to be contending, which means that we’ll be relying on players heavily outperforming their contracts just so that we can even it out (see: Chicago’s dependence on ELCs).
This is where a witty signature might go.

that this is BS on Burke’s part:

“If not, if he doesn’t agree to something that makes sense, then we’re going to listen [to offers]. It’s not a guarantee that he’s not going to be here, but we’re certainly going to listen. It’s not an easy player to quantify. It’s a player who’s averaged roughly 40 points his whole career and now he’s on pace for 80 or whatever it is. It’s not easy to quantify what a player like that’s worth.”
You haven’t “monetized” it yet? WTF MAN… you are joking if you haven’t got any idea what a player like that is worth… and the stuff about 40 point player his whole career? You mean playing under 14 minutes a night in his first 3 years in the NHL on irregular shifts and limited PP time? I just find this sort of bluster irritating.

If MacArthur is demanding a lot of money or won’t give up much of his UFA years, I’d do it. I’d try to add in more picks, and downgrade either Mac or Kadri, but I think Stastny falls under the category of young, “elite” talent, and we need to be doing everything we can to bring it in to the organization.
Consider how many players similar to Stastny (in terms of skill, history of production, and age) are being talked about as “touchable.” I can’t even think of one. Maybe there’s been two or three over the past year, tops.

They are 9th in goals per game, sure, but Stastny’s ability to score with multiple linemates is impressive.
This is where a witty signature might go.
This is where a witty signature might go on drugs.
he’s also pretty damn close to the type of player the Leafs would need to center the Kessel line. I like Kadri and Colborne, but they’re unproven. If you have to move one for a proven point producing C who is still quite young, you do it.
Negative. I am a meat popsicle.
Right
but I dont’ think you give up 3 players like Kadri, MacArthur, and Gunnarsson.

One of this year’s firsts, next year’s first (ours, sadly), Kadri, Gunnarsson. I’d make it 10 times out of 10.

Amazingly
Yes.
In that order, actually.
Went out for dinner with my Pops, had a beer, we had nachos as an appetizer and now I’m at home smoking chiba.

I don’t think anyone else took a faceoff in the last 10 minutes until after the empty-net goal to make it 6-4. He definitely took all the defensive zone ones. And I’m fairly certain he won them all. His play on the shorthanded empty-net goal was ridiculous.
