All-Star Weekend usually means a lack of news for more most teams. Such is the case for the Leafs at the moment. Lulls in the season can be a good time to look back at some of the season's top storylines. One of those storylines deals with Toronto's leading scorer at the break. The long road Joffrey Lupul has taken to simply get back to the NHL makes him a candidate for the Masterton trophy. But his sudden scoring prowess makes him a favorite for team MVP, which is something few would have expected when he arrived last year. James Mirtle of the Globe & Mail has the story:
"It came down to, if the last infection didn’t get healed, he would have needed a third surgery. Which would have put him out at least another year, if not forever. We went through as a family a six-month period where his playing hockey again was not even a consideration. We were concerned about his health and his life."
Craig Lupul paused on the phone, as he thought about how to put into words what this weekend meant after what his son has been through.
"When I see him go from 170 pounds to 210, and come this far, and get picked for an all-star game, I can only describe it as surreal," he said. "I can’t really even believe it."

Expectations and role gets bigger, team starts to suck, they all blame the young kid for not being good enough to fix it.

I dunno. Dave Bolland is a beast and Patrick Sharp will be back early February. That makes their top 6 Kane, Toews, Sharp, Bolland, Hossa, Stalberg/Brunette. Seems like they need a winger more than a center.
The First Certified Grabbo Lover
They should still want a guy like Grabbo. They run Bolland as kind of a kind ‘checking line’ centre (check out hose zone starts and Qcomp). They could (and often do) use Sharp as the 2nd centre. They should also probably grab a guy like, say, Betts or Nodl (not those guys specifically, but guys like that) as a cheap but effective checker to play on Bollands wing.
Kane – Toews – Hossa (/splurt!!)
Sharp – Grabbo – Stalberg
Frolik – Bolland – Checker
Kruger – Morrison – Brunette
Stan Bowman has openly said that the team wants to add a 2nd line centre. They want to play Sharp on the wing.

William of Nassau am I, of Dutch blood. Loyal to the fatherland I will remain until I die.
Im more hopeful than you about resigning him, but I think you have the equation right.
If we can turn Grabbo into something approaching what we turned Beauch and Kabby into then we should probably move him.
But I would be happy to resign him even at 5-5.5mil.
I don’t think the Leafs will have issues signing him, just that if they do for what he is worth (4.5-5ish) then they wont have room to fill the areas they need to become a better team (a power forward and a 2-3 shut down like D man) so they would be relying on those players being developed internally, which is quite the gamble

The Leafs are going to have to dump salary if they want to keep Grabovski, there’s not really much of a way around it. If Grabovski is staying, I’d guess that either MacArthur or Lombardi gets moved (and MacArthur is probably much easier to trade).

The best recent comparison is probably Tomas Plekanec, who signed a deal a couple years ago just before he became a UFA, and his cap hit is $5 million. Given that Grabovski is a similarly useful player, and that the market (and cap) have risen since then, I see no reason to believe he’ll make less than $5 million unless he signs a long-term deal that tails off at the end to lower the cap hit.

No way Grabovski takes a cap hit that small unless he gets one of those “retirement” deals that lasts 8-9 years. He’s easily worth $5 million on the open market. Good 2-way forwards who can score 50-60 points don’t hit the market very often.

So you can only buy it in an off-license (apart from bars of course)? Why’s that? Over here you can buy it in petrol stations, corner shops, supermarkets, offies, pubs – lots of places.
It really varies from state to state and gets ridiculously complicated. For example:
I’m from North Dakota, where you can only buy liquor, wine, and beer in package stores. There are also laws there about buying on holidays (I think just Thanksgiving and Christmas,but I haven’t lived there since I was 18 so I’ve never really purchased liquor there).
I’ve also lived in Pennsylvania and New York (and now California). Pennsylvania is a liquor control state, so you can only buy wine and liquor at the state-owned Liquor Control Board stores.. You can get beer other places, but not at grocery stores.
In New York, you can only buy beer at grocery stores or convenience stores, not at liquor stores.
In California, you can buy whatever the hell kind of booze wherever the hell you want, I guess. Even at Target.

Media day Phil comes out of his shell. How can you not adore him?
When asked about who controls the music in the Leafs’ dressing room, Phaneuf and his iTunes were pushed under the Zamboni by Kessel.
With both hands.
"It’s DJ Dion Phaneuf and he’s horrible," said Kessel. "He’s horrible. He’s spinning garbage. I don’t know what he’s spinning. It’s whatever the hits are, I guess. He plays everything. I like country and he doesn’t play none of that.
"He’s awful. Go tell him I said that, too. He’ll laugh about it, too. He’s horrible. He’s a bad DJ."
Ouch.

He’s 22! Please keep that in mind. If we trade Schenn I guarantee he comes back to bite us in the ass. Can we just draft a player and let him develop for once?

Remember when we all thought it was semantics when Reimer had whiplash instead of a concussion? Maybe there actually is something to that.
the issue there was that Reimer was presumably passing the cognitive tests, while exhibiting signs of a concussion (headache, fatigue, etc.). it likely just has to do with the sensitivity of the tests.
