Really hoping for a recession that somehow only hurts car salesmen.
Then again he doesn't make that much and payed up the ass for a 1 bedroom condo.
Really great article on what went wrong with the Habs this year

Mason Marchment was the dude who killed Marner in the OHL playoffs last year and his dad played like one season for the leafs a long time ago. So huh kind of neat.
Not familiar with Wong, but the Marlies get another sub 6 foot forward woooo.

Just read that post he made in that locked Bernie Sanders thread.
Because Tabris. That's why.

There's always an LA Colorado game in Vegas, Frozen Fury every year.
Reading his first couple posts, "Well this isn't that ba--Ohhhh."
Oh
But this time it's in the new arena! No direct flights available right now, but if something turns up later this year I'm going to consider it...
The title and desciption of this youtube video of Zaitsev's goal, lmao
That is the official KHL channel.

LOL wow
that is amazing
It's nice to dream, I suppose.
You won't be in a position to take Dubois, after reading up on him there's no way he should get past fifth - superior production compared to Strome last year i believe.
I'm going to need a new sport to watch next season, Bergevin's end of season presser should be legendary.
Wouldn't surprise me if Bergevin tried to move up in this draft.

I want Michael McLeod. If we can't get Dubois or another Dman

A+ gif use.
I actually laughed hard.
This is what Samyy is talking about I think?
Honestly I think he gets picked in the 4-6 range, doubt he falls or gets picked beyond 6.
Look at all these busts

Drop for Dubois.
I want him badly. More badly than Tim Murray wanted McDavid

I already warned you.
Bergevin should be asking what the fuck his coach is actually doing if they go from the best team in the league, to having one of the worst records of all-time without Carey Price in net.

Asked some writers at pension plan puppets when they did an AMA on Reddit about him. None of them were high up on him and I'm not high on him either. For the best Euro that draft and all the hype and how he supposedly nearly made the Pens last season, I expected a Nylander-like season from him. I'm not sure I see him in our top 6 and I think we should trade him.
Giving up on a 19-year old sounds.. like a great idea for the Leafs.
I don't understand why they're such close friends, they seem like complete opposite personalities. If Therrien is still around come September, I'm all aboard the #FireBergevin train.
Haha yeah. Aside from Brendl and I guess Gagner as well he is in pretty good company on that list.
Tbh not too concerned about Kapy. He's only 19 years old and one of the youngest players in the NHL/AHL. If he were like, 22 or 23 years old I'd be concerned with some of his play though.
He could use 1 or 2 more seasons in the AHL, for a player his age a lot can develop and change over that period of time.
But I remember when he fell as far as he did in the 2014 draft, where he was the top ranked euro skater even ahead of Nylander. Perhaps some of the scouts were onto something there.

We'll see how he does next season but I'm bit impressed with what I've seen.
Could be he just needs to be the guy and needs to be pushed a lot more. We'll see how he fares next season, but I definitely don't see him on the Leafs.
Yeah that's why I was wondering about the 8 games played, I think he shouldn't be put in the same category as Nylander where it sort of made sense to burn year 1 of the ELC. He would do well to spend a year in the AHL, totally healthy, and without interruptions due to WJCs or call-ups. Let's see how he does next season.

Agreed. And the pseudo-young prospects too -Carrick, Hyman and Soshnikov- get lumped in with Kapanen when we (fans, media) discuss how players in the system are faring.
Plus, as much as the PPP blog is fun to read at times, there's really no reason at all to put any sort of weight behind their prospect analysis. I mean, they're at best a small step above what you'd get here. They're probably even reading the same reports as us.

I think they were referencing Pronman among others.
And that's great thing, I'm actually fine with Shosnikov, Hyman, and surprisingly Goat. Kapanen just doesn't look ready, but you guys are right and it may be another year or two.
Also, I had a bet with a coworker from Vancouver that either the Flames or Oilers would place above them in the standings. That spanking last night was the final nail in the coffin!
I think the days of the Leafs not developing prospects are over. The few surprises we saw this year will soon become the norm to Leafs fans as their minor league system improves. I'm sure in the future they'll be guys that make the team that we never even expected, the drafting and development of Leafs has radically improved. Even if a few "name" guys like Kapanen don't make it, they'll be others who were never on fans radar that break through.
