It was a rocky relationship, but I do want to say thanks Dion for 6 years. His play often didn't match his expectations, but there was way too much placed on his shoulders by ownership/management. I wish him the best in Ottawa.

I remember all the internet sens fans who focused on a small section of the conversation between Burke and Murray at the draft, and they were convinced Murray tricked the Leafs into taking Kadri because of how good the team thought Cowen would be. They were so wrong for so many reasons.

Nope. I'm slightly curious to see who gets the As right now. It's usually Hunwick and Bozak, with Lupul getting one when Bozak is out. So 2 are up for grabs. Winnik and Komarov maybe? Or Winnik and Kadri?
PPP with a write-up on Lindberg: http://www.pensionplanpuppets.com/toronto-maple-leafs-prospects/2016/2/9/10951096/who-is-new-leafs-prospect-tobias-lindberg
Lou said that he was very important to the deal and called him the prospect they targeted.

FYI, Milan Michalek is currently on the IR. He broke a finger on January 22nd and was reported as being out indefinitely.
Colin Greening has been in the AHL all season and it seems likely he'll at least start his Leafs tenure with the Marlies.
Tobias Lindberg is definitely reporting to the Marlies.
So Cowen might be the only player we actually see with the Leafs this season.

Nonis mess is being cleaned up:

That completes a core of Phaneuf, Kessel, Lupul, Bozak, Clarkson and Gardiner, who Nonis inked to more than $217 million collectively through the life of their contracts.
How did that core work out?

Was up shoveling the roof all morning, came down and checked my phone. Thank God I didn't check it up there, would have fallen off.
Well, I often said this team would never be a contender when it was built around Phaneuf and Kessel. A-double-plus to the current management for recognizing that and moving on -- and without losing either trade.

i think this season has always been a throwaway. but at least unlike the last ten or so they were upfront about it. I think the reason to watch is to see what babcock can do with nothing and watch the start of players like reilly who will hopefully be fantastic when this team gets good.

well of course it doesn't..this is year 1.5 of a rebuild. this is still the tearing down. have to demolish the house before you can build a new one. this all goes back to babcock's "painful" comments when he came here. hopefully the leafs will start to develop that new core with their first round pick this year. not to say we might not already have a few pieces in reilly in nylander.

I always thought Phaneuf was going to be the chimney. Apparently he's a snowmobile.
