[Toe]

I kept hearing yesterday that Real Sports, the bar and restaurant next to the ACC in Toronto, made more in revenue last year then the Coyotes.

For all of us to laugh at.

I have the weirdest boner right now.

So...

It looks like Grabbo is being bought out.

Ughh. I don't like that.

That means Bozak stays, and likely on the first line. God dammit.

[Toe]

Well, the Leafs also seem to be interested in Rob Scuderi and David Clarkson. I am not sold 100% on Clarkson, but I think getting Scuderi would be a very good addition to the team.

[Ruki]

I would be ok with Scuderi, a cheap Clarkson (3rd line grinder! Or we can give that role to Ashton/Biggs/Ross), and Weiss.

But no more Bozak! I swear, I will be sick if we give him Grabbo money. He doesn't deserve shit. He is a product of his linemates, he doesn't make them better.

[Ruki]

SEGUIN GETS TRADED!!!!!! HOLY FUCK!

No more will we have to have the 'Seguin vs Kessel' talk!

Seguin, Peverly and Button to Stars. For Eriksson, J.Morrow R.Smith and Matt Fraser.

[Lowerdeck]

I'm not sure how I feel about Seguin (and Peverly) getting dealt, and don't know who is coming to Boston.

Loui Eriksson is good, and I think Morrow is a good defensive prospect.

[Toe]

I don't mind Bozak, and I am kind of sick of the whole first line centre stuff. Look at the success of Lupul and Kessel with Bozak. I don't think he is a $5 mil a year guy, but I don't mind him playing with those two guys.

People are too attached to fitting people into spots, where I think the Leafs play with 3 lines they can evenly rotate.

Also, I think Boston got a ton for Seguin. He might go on to success in Dallas, but the Bruins added a few good pieces.

Danny Briere is going to Montreal. Its a pretty low risk move.

I hope the Leafs didnt cut a $5 million 2nd line center so that they could pay a different 2nd line center $5 million. Grabbo was overpaid, but Bozak and Clarkson will make about the same as he would have and aren't significantly better.

[Toe]

I just don't really see why the Leafs cut Grabbo. Not one other team was willing to offer a pick for him?

Chances are that all they could get was a deal that brought salary back, and Nonis has plans for the cap space.

Talk to us about the re-signing of Brian McGrattan, Gabe!

I think it's a pretty good signing. $750,000 per year for 2 years. He's a tough, character guy on a team that's getting younger. Those are essential pieces to keep the morale up and to make sure that the young guys are protected.

I'm a pretty big McGrattan fan, actually. The little things he does for the team are hard to replace.

It's actually a better deal then the one Nonis handed to Colton Orr, so at least there is that.

Grabovski buyout makes a little more sense now. Sometimes good coaches and good players don't fit well together.

[SeanDMan]

The comments section is the best.

"All this support for a Russian? They're using that money on real CANADIAN players like Bozak, Clarkson, and Liles."
