CONFERENCE CALL
"I felt humble and proud. Getting a phone call like that means a lot."
On Hank: "I've seen the potential all along, its been the maturity that's gotten him to this point. I'm proud and happy for him".
On his time in Vancouver: "We had a bunch of guys that were the same age that grew up together, we created a strong personal bond"
On leaving Van: "it ended up being the right thing... i had a chance to go to a team that wanted me, gave me a new view"
ON THE TEAM 1040
-Has known about this for a while. This honor was a surprise to him. The event may feel a bit awkward but he is looking forward to it. Coming to Vancouver initially felt like a fresh start and a "make it or break it" for him. It was a rocky start to his NHL career. Maturity is what got him to start scoring. Talked about Mike Keenan being intimidating and hard to play under. When Pavel Bure held out Markus got more playing time and his production increased.
-At times Naslund thinks about what could have been in the 2002-03 playoffs.
-Henrik gets a lot of recognition back home in Sweden.
-Still talks to Mattias Ohlund and is glad he will be there for the ceremony
-Has no hard feelings towards the Canucks organization on how everything transpired when he left.
-No more pro hockey for him. He will not play for Modo.

Have patience, my darlings. It's only the beginning of July, Mike Gillis has all summer.....
apparently the leafs may have just signed a guy named Lebda, so someone came up with this (kinda like that vuvuzela thing i had a couple weeks ago). someone else found it and shared over at PPP just now. it even changes all the comments!

2 Sedins, 1 cup?
Although, that could also double as a slogan for whenever we make the finals…

Oh Sean….it has to be both teams. ( Damn…wish I had made that bet…you got this CC! )
Any good that Burkie does will be immediately countered by Sutter.
A ying/yang thing!!!
That Lebda thing is bizzaro though!

What about Versteeg?
And Kessel? Colby Armstrong? They are putting together a decent team in TO. Not a cup contender by any stretch but they have a shot at the dance.

Perhaps but
Colby Armstrong is a good third liner, and that is it. Kessel is good, but with no one to pass to him he will never reach his full potential. Steeger might actually tear it up, but just like Kessel, he can’t do it all by himself. Can they consistently win and squeak into the 8th spot, maybe, but I wouldn’t bet on it :P

Why can't Kessler play with Versteeg?
Not to mention Kuhlemin or whatever his name is. Kadri could step in this year and have a real impact plus they aren’t done yet and Burke usually has a trade or two up his sleeve.

Im assuming you mean Kessel
Yeah I guess Versteeg could play with Kessel, but is Steeger is a legit first liner? From what I hear, Kadri will probably make the team come Oct. Kulie is good, but not amazing. I say they are one great passer and a complete revamp of their bottom 6 away from making the dance.

I am a huge Versteeg fan
I think his game has all kinds of upside. Gustavson is going to be a year better. Their D is actually pretty solid. And they are going to score more goals this year. They move Schenn or Kaberle to improve their top 6 and they are a playoff team.

I hear you.
And the Leafs do have some reasons for optimism. The Versteeg and other moves were smart. I like that they got Lebda to replace whomever gets traded soon. ( Hurry up Kovy…free the FA!!)
But the Leafs, probably because iof market size and circumstance, are usually one of the best July to October teams…it’s nice to see the big market ( good for the salary cap when all those Leaf fans spend money ) do better.
But let’s not put them in the playoffs yet.
Im with Dan
I doubt they will move Schenn as he is their defenseman of the future along with Phanoops. The Leafs might make the playoffs, but its definitely the furthest thing from a lock.

AND they have Giguere. AND they came along pretty good at the end of the year.

When
the pressure was off and they have Phanoops.

Every Leaf fan I know
thinks, and hopes, Schenn gets moved. He isn’t panning out in TO and most of them don’t think he ever will pan out in that market. He was terrible last year.

Sophomore slump
He started to get better once Phaneuf showed up. He’s a really young defender, he probably shouldn’t even have been on the team in the last 2 years, but he is improving.. But I guess if they think they can get a top sixer for him, they’d probably want to trade him. Although I’d give him another year, he’s still really young, he’s playing in a hockey microscope, he is/was on a shitty team, its gotta be hard for him to develop.

I just look at that draft
Erik Karlsson, Del Zotto, Myers, Pieterangelo not to mention the guys who went ahead of Schenn, Bogosian, Doughty the list goes on, and I don’t see Schenn as being in that class of player. Maybe he will one day but I don’t see it.

Yeah
thats why they’ll probably be a borderline middle of the pack team till 2014-2016 ish when their draft picks start panning out.
