Iginla is one of the best players of his generation. I think he should go to Detroit and play with Datsyuk. I really feel they would be money together.

I don’t know if Detroit can be considered a powerhouse anymore with Lidstrom and Stuart now off their blueline, Rafalski retired a year ago, and now its basically Kronwall and a bunch of decent guys, no real studs.

But I still have a lot of belief in that organization. They’ll make the necessary moves and remain a contender.

CHL! Although I’m sure KHL wouldn’t be bad. I also want to catch a few SM-liiga games.

I could not give two shits about the AHL because it’s usually crappy hockey, but the marlies did have a fun team to watch. I watched even when there was an NHL season last year.

If Scrivens can’t return because of waivers than who would be the goalie? Owuya, Rynnas?

To be perfectly honest, while everyone is saying Seth Jones could compete with MacKinnon for number 1 overall, I actually think the only player who has a shot of competing with MacKinnon is Barkov. Kid has it all. He’s gonna be a phenom.

I actually think Barkov would be a better fit

But Monahan wouldn’t be half bad

Call it my European bias haha

Well this whole lockout bullshit is depressing. I guess I’ll be looking forward to the Marlies this year.

Does anyone know if they play to stream Marlies games? The AHL will probably be a good watch this year. The Marlies should be interesting for sure. Gardiner, Kadri, Colborne, Ashton, D’Amigo, Blacker, McKegg, Ross and Holzer. Even the AHL star Aucoin.

It’s too bad Scrivens and Frattin can’t play because of waiver

I like Biggs because he’s mean. The Leafs havn’t had a capable mean guy in forever. For a little while Tucker was a pretty damn good scrapper but he was a smaller guy.

My hope for Biggs is Lucic-light.I’d really like a guy in the top 9 who’s not just gritty or even tough, I want a guy who can beat the shit out of you.

For iggy sake I wish only two things happen to him.

1. Returns with the Flames and plays out the rest of his career. Goes down as a legend for that organization.

2. Takes his shot at the cup. Signs with a NYR, PIT, LAK, BOS, ETC.

I really like Iggy I just don’t want to see the Toronto media ruin his legacy.

Have you seen Tyler Biggs compared to the people he is playing in the OHL? Seriously he looks like a giant compared to them. According to HF he stands at 6’2 weighing in at 210 lbs. A lot of hockey scouts are comparing the guy to a Milan Lucic type player and to me that is a HELL of a lot scarier than Tucker ever was. I mean Don’t get me wrong I love Ross and all but in the end I give the edge to Biggs because he is just that much bigger and meaner something our team is sorely missing. I mean Imagine the following…

Biggs – Colborne – Kulemin All of which are above 6’1 all of which are above 210 pounds. They can all throw their weight if needed and can play defensively. Not too mention they all have shown a scoring flare.
