On most teams that's not enough, but on this team it is and he seems to realize that.<BR/><BR/>I don't think he'll ultimately turn out to be more than a third-liner in the NHL, but he could be a nice surprise this year. If so, Cliff will be smart to swap him for some picks.Down Goes Brownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10150805735008417848noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6518202653898886981.post-35278746469288961372008-10-20T11:03:00.000-04:002008-10-20T11:03:00.000-04:00I'm waiting for Cox to write a column about how Mo...I'm waiting for Cox to write a column about how Moore is the next captain of the Leafs.<BR/><BR/>And Grabovski, though he has zero points, has looked great IMO. We gotta be patient with this kid, he looks like a keeper. His puck pursuit skills are amazing. I like him on a line with Hagman.<BR/><BR/>I'd like to see Tlusty get a little more ice time. Preferably on the power play.Navin Vaswani (@eyebleaf)https://www.blogger.com/profile/08445618400360263938noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6518202653898886981.post-32286458943224078892008-10-20T09:28:00.000-04:002008-10-20T09:28:00.000-04:00100% agree on Schenn, its whartever is best for hi...100% agree on Schenn, its whartever is best for his development. He was a great pick and looks to be a fixture on the blueline for a long time, dont burn him out, but dont baby him. <BR/><BR/>I feel better with Wilson there than Maurice. He'll do the right thing.<BR/><BR/>Re: play in or play out....can we have some fun for a second and jsut imagine the nuclear explosion that would have happened last October if Maurice had done that. I am smiling now just imagining.<BR/><BR/>Moore: Why do you think he is playing so well, is it heart, clicking with linemnates, strong fit with the Wilson system? Any of those could dictate whether he gets traded or not and whether you may decide to keep him, not averse to trade BTW. Curious about yours and others thoughts<BR/><BR/>Kulemin is a definite keeper and Frogren looks like he is settling in well. The Leaf D is actually shaping up nicely so that they can move excess to get forwards and picks. The question is how best to execute. Looks like "da plan" is coming together, stick to it Cliff and Ron.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6518202653898886981.post-53619695784948075122008-10-20T08:10:00.000-04:002008-10-20T08:10:00.000-04:00My only question is, looking back on the old CBA, ...<I>My only question is, looking back on the old CBA, would old contracts get altered, or grandfathered in? What I mean is, if the CBA changes, would it change for all players, or just new signings.<BR/></I><BR/>I guess the short answer is "it depends on what they negotiate". But last time around, changes to free agency status were immediate. That's why you saw some guys becoming free agents after one season, rather than having to wait until they were 31 like under the old deal.Down Goes Brownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10150805735008417848noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6518202653898886981.post-46778343276059486962008-10-20T00:54:00.000-04:002008-10-20T00:54:00.000-04:00It's not a matter of passing to Kulemin, the kid n...It's not a matter of passing to Kulemin, the kid needs to find open ice better. He's used to a bigger playing surface, most games he has the puck in the zone he just plain runs out of room. He'll adjust.Scott Bakerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14464543994225178799noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6518202653898886981.post-46756321359359396582008-10-19T23:26:00.000-04:002008-10-19T23:26:00.000-04:00Excellent point re: Schenn, and you brought up asp...Excellent point re: Schenn, and you brought up aspects I've never thought of (or read previously). <BR/><BR/>My only question is, looking back on the old CBA, would old contracts get altered, or grandfathered in? What I mean is, if the CBA changes, would it change for all players, or just new signings.<BR/><BR/>I'm quite ignorant on CBA matters, but I remember some aspects being unchanged (like Jagr's contract), so are you confident Schenn's status could be altered?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
