3. Toronto wants to keep Nazem Kadri rather than trade him, but, after the Maple Leafs increased their self-imposed suspension, one of the questions being asked was, ?If they did want to trade him, did they just damage his value?? After a little bit of investigation, the answer appears to be no.
Past teammates and coaches, and even opponents, respect his ability and his compete level. That?s the highest compliment he gets: his fearlessness and willingness to stand up against anyone at any time. However, whatever worries the Maple Leafs away from the rink, it?s not a secret to the rest of the NHL. That?s why his value hasn?t dropped; because the teams I queried have the same concerns. Brendan Shanahan must know that, too.

Is he really getting the message, or, is he just saying all the right things to give everyone the impression he gets it?

as well... retirement age is increasing, as life expectancy does. We are growing older and older, timeframes for everything are being stretched out. Having a kid in your 30s is normal now, whereas 50 years ago there was something wrong with you if you wern't married with kids by 25. It's a different world... wait until life expectancy breaks 90 or 100, it will change even further and more drastically.
Some people are idiots and some aren't. I left home at 23 after uni and live a pretty responsible lifestyle. I know people in their 30s who live at home and others who abuse their bodies with bad food and alcohol. It really just depends.TDotMassive said:Highlander said:look at our own kids, acting like idiots into there 20's. We were working or paying our own ways at that age.

Ron Wilson really needs to go away. I don't really care for the guys who come out of the woodwork an start retroactively backtalking. Much less a guy who openly admits an axe to grind and references a 49 game stint with the Leafs on his proof that Nazem didn't listen to him. Wilson's a blowhard. I don't care for Cherry in the least because he rarely makes sense and is usually wrong when you can understand what he says, but his constant "I don't kick things when they are down" (spoiler alert, he does) would be some good advice for some of the idiots running the broadcast and sports media. Where was Wilson before the collapse. Coming out after the fact, openly admitting a bias and then spouting off stuff in a vague enough way to be impossible to dispute but also not providing anything concrete is useless click-baiting.
I've lost interest in the Leafs and it took a hell of a lot to get me to that point. But I lost interest in the Toronto sports media long before that. Adding more of this useless garbage only pushes me farther away from that. I have been cable free for a few years now and use NHL Gamecenter with a US account to watch Leafs games. I don't watch TSN. I don't go to their website anymore, I'm completely done with the shoddy "journalism" around the Leafs.
I'm happy to read blogs and catch the stories through those and the message board but I'm just tired of not only real negativity but contrived stories to keep people who have long since become irrelevant in the sporting world relevant.
