Grabovski + Schenn for Getzlaf would be a major fleecing from Burke.

Grabovski ain't good, people.

That trade seems very unlikely, but Grabovski is a very good player. He's one of the most defensively responsible forwards on the Leafs, and he's capable of putting up 50-60 points in a season. I'd be very happy if he was re-signed long term.
 
I'll allow you a denial phase, but eventually you're going to realize we gave up one of the very few legitimate scoring threats we had for a player just as lazy but without the offensive upside. Cammy played awesome last night.
More like I'll allow you a denial phase where you seem to believe he was going to somehow score 35 goals in Montreal.
 
Grabovski is better than anyone the Habs have had since the lockout.

Grabovski is a vastly superior player to his Montreal days.

He wasn't very well liked in his first two seasons with the Leafs but since then he's been fantastic.

Regardless, I don't think Getzlaf, Perry or Ryan are going anywhere.

On a side note, it seems all the wannabe internet insiders are saying that the Leafs have a deal within the next 3 days at most. LOL.
 
Stats for Kessel and Kesler say otherwise this season.

1 player carried his team in a playoff series. 1 player couldn't get his team into the playoffs. 1 player can play defensively. 1 player cheats offensively and has no two-way play. 1 player has won an NHL award at the end of the year. 1 player is the ugliest player I've seen.

I guess you missed the part where I said "this season."

Looking forward to Kesler carrying the team in the playoffs again when the Sedins vanish, and their cherished +/- stat (which is a great stat), goes to shit.

Both have zero cups to their name.

Ha ha.. oh.. wait.. right..
 
Great first for the Pens. Outshot the Bolts 17-5, and got rewarded for it. Nice to see pucks going in after six games of offensive frustration. Hope they put up at least five or six in this one.
 
Grabovski is a good 2nd line player, but I don't see him in the long term plans. Not close to Getzlaf, Perry, or Ryan's class. It would be a huge mistake for Anaheim to trade any of those three unless they get a piece of the same caliber back.

You don't need to worry about that.

So Grabovski is seen as available? Sharks need a 3rd/2nd line tweener to bolster the 3rd line and to fill in on the 2nd in case of injury. This sound like a good fit for him? What's his cap hit?
 
Orpik's been great this season. He's never looked better defensively, and he's hitting with the regularity Pens fans have always hoped for.
 
Rollie was actually pretty good last year, not that he is their only problem this year, but he definitely makes a difference.

Yeah, Roloson was a huge reason the Pens didn't get by the Bolts in the first round last season, outside of St. Louis being St. Louis.
 
Randy starting Budaj against the best team in the east :lol glad to see he's on board for that top 5 pick, it's also pretty funny how Torts starts Biron against the leafs and Lunqvist against the Habs.
 
Just finished the Habs/Sens game. Very exciting game and another one where the Habs were the better team imo. Anderson was great, I was cursing his name most of the game. Frustrating...

Saw that Cammy scored but was still -2 for night. Anyone watch the LA/Calgary game?
