Also, sucks about your PS3 crashing in the first season. It was looking so promising!

Keep it coming, this is a damn good dynasty.
Thanks guys i appreciate the comments, Ive been busy lately and havent been able to update, but i will shortly. Dont loose faith!

Press conference with Leafs GM Brian Burke

Hello everyone and welcome, thank you all for gathering. You all know what our current situation is and what our stance is moving forward, so I am going to move past the pre tense and move into the heart of the matter.

We have been unable to provide what has been expected of us here in Toronto and we are moving forward this season with dedication and a purpose to change this. To that effect I would like to announce a trade that was just completed just prior to this media conference.

Toronto trades:
G Martin Biron 36 years old 1.2M one year contract 82 overall D/D/C- potential

D Ty Wishart (TWD) 25 years old .695M per season 2 years remaining on his contract 77 overall C/C/C potential

2014 1st round pick (TOR)

To Philadelphia for:
G Sergei Bobrovsky 25 years old 3.44M per season 2 years remaining on his contract 87 overall B-/B-/B potential


First off I want to say we signed Martin Biron with the intention for him to play here this season but this deal materialised very quickly, and he had to be included in the package to make it viable for both teams.

I also wanted to say thank you to Ty Wishart who has played his heart out for us on the Toronto Marlies, We were looking forward to having this guy on the Leafs blue line, and we wish him well as he continues his career with the flyers.

There are a few key points in this deal, firstly I believe we need competition in our net, and Sergei is hungry to play. With the signing of Bryzgalov in Philly, and his contract still having 7 years remaining on it plus Philly being tight on the cap, this returns assets to them and frees up their cap situation, while we gain a capable goaltender who wants to be the number one guy.

We believe in James Reimer, I think that much has been clear over the past couple years, this is a security move for the time being and we are hoping that this will provide the spark James and Sergei need to make that next leap and become a top goaltender in the NHL. Both of these young guys have the ability to do so, now it's time to do it.

We will be looking for guys like Phil Kessel and Kyle Turris to resume their strong play from last season and the new faces like Mike Ribeiro and Mark Streit to provide leadership and experience along the course of our journey into the playoffs.

It is time for Nazem Kadri to step up and get the job done, he has grown a lot over the past year and we believe he is ready to take on a major role here on the club.

Everyone here knows how this season is going to be. It’s time to win here in Toronto, this is the season and the leash will be very short indeed.

Thank you for your time.

Re: Pride, hustle, heart. An NHL 12 Leafs BAGM



Welcome fans and readers, for TSN I am hockey insider Bob McKenzie.

As I take a moment to think back about the reports I have done here about the Leafs they have all followed the same general course. I regret to say that one again the same tune is being played in Toronto and the Leafs are off to a horrid 0-3 start in which each game played (versus Chicago, Edmonton and Buffalo) were horrible games to watch if you were a leaf fan, the exclamation point of that would be the 8-5 head scratcher in Edmonton.

Many people are pointing the finger at goaltender James Reimer and I must point out that while in some cases this is true, it is not the case. Reimer has seemed to be lost at points in his net, but recounting those three games we see a shot total of 107 shots in three games, yes let me say that again just to make sure you all heard me correctly, one hundred and seven shots in three games. Now from an outside in perspective I point the finger mostly at everyone not inside a blue piece of paint and ask them, guys? What is going on here?

The head scratching would continue into Dallas as the struggling Leafs would face yet unbeaten Stars and would be playing their new goaltender, in Sergei Bobrovsky. The game would fall into what would have been expected to be situation normal... As the Leafs would play the majority of the first twenty minutes in their own end and forcing Bobrovsky to stop 20 shots, which he turned aside without letting anything pass the red line.

It was after this stellar performance and athletic display of excellence that the lethargic Leafs would come roaring out of the gates of the second period and push the Stars back on their heels, not letting them regain composure for the next 40 minutes. Bobrovsky would stop the next 15 shots in the remaining two frames to post a shutout and the Leafs would take the game 4-0.

The influence and calming effect that Bobrovsky had over the club would again show in the next series of games versus Calgary and Vancouver where Toronto would claim two more straight wins in close but well played games, the team showed life with Bob in net and the leafs pulled to an even 3-3 record.

After the Leafs appeared to regain confidence Reimer would step back into the crease and see time against the struggling Anaheim Ducks. Unfortunately for Reimer the Ducks didn't struggle but once again everyone in front of him did. Allowing 35 shots against and losing 5-1 to give the Ducks just their second win of the year it would be head coach Doug Gilmour that would step forward and deflect the ire of Leaf nation away from his goaltender stating that he was saddened by the simple lack of effort in front of Reimer in all four games he played this season.

with two days of rest ahead of them, GM Brian Burke moved forward with a deal he claimed was agreed upon during this year’s NHL draft but not acted on until this time.

Toronto trades:
G James Reimer 25 years old 1.8M one year remaining on his contract 86 overall B-/B-/C potential

LW Tomas Tatar (TWF) 22 years old .645M per season 2 years remaining on his contract 78 overall B/B-/B- potential

The contract rights to D Stephen Woodworth (TWD) 20 years old 71 overall B-/B-/A- potential

2014 second round pick (TOR)

To Edmonton for:
LW Magnus Paajarvi (TWF) 22 years old 3.525M per year 3 years remaining on his contract 85 overall B/B/B potential

G Frans Tuohimaa 22 years old .790M per years 2 years remaining on his contract 72 overall C/B-/C potential

Looking at this deal it made a lot of sense for both clubs. Edmonton was unable to retain the services of Devon Dubnyk after this year’s off season. They brought in veteran goaltender Niklas Backstrom from free agency but seeing how Backstrom has posted horrible stats and the lack of goaltender depth in the organization Edmonton needed a viable solution, enter Reimer.

Since the Leafs have seemed to refuse to play for goaltender Reimer so far this year, and have done well with Bobrovsky in net this deal makes sense for Toronto.

Paajarvi, who has been relegated to third line duty in Edmonton will see his ice time increase and the expectations of his play also rise as he becomes a counted on part of a team’s success and offense.

Paying the price to bring in Paajarvi, who is still young and with good upside Toronto relinquishes their first round selection in this past draft in D-man Stephen Woodworth and promising winger Tomas Tatar.

It was immediately after this deal was announced that Toronto signed veteran free agent goaltender Chris Mason 37 years old .525M one year deal 78 overall D/D/D potential. While Mason has always been praised as a great and loyal teammate with a strong work ethic it is clear that Brian Burke intends Bobrovsky to carry the brunt of the work load this season.

We have also just received word that Toronto has claimed veteran D-man Mike Weaver (DFD) 25 years old 1.005M one year remaining on his contract 80 overall C-/D-/C- potential from the Boston Bruins. I see this as a pure depth move from Toronto and assume Weaver will be retained as the Leafs seventh defence man.

As Toronto heads to Philadelphia tomorrow for their next road game it will be without former hopeful number one goaltender James Reimer, and Sergei the saviour Bobrovsky, as Leaf nation has dubbed him, in net.

With all the recent excitement surrounding the Leafs it will be interesting to see how they react in Philly tomorrow, in parting I will leave you with the Leafs Projected lines, once again thanks for reading.

Leafs 10 game update

Injury news:

Recent waiver claim Mike Weaver will be injected into the leafs line up after team Captain Luke Schenn suffered an MCL sprain during the game against the Islanders. Schenn is projected to be out as long as four weeks. With the Leafs just now starting to right their ship it will be interesting to see how this injury to a key player effects the line up.


Depth comes through, Kadri hooks up Boedker

Team record: 4-3-3 / 13th in East / 24th in NHL

After a rocky start the Leafs find themselves in a poor place and needing to claw their way back into contention.


Turris, Kadri and Kessel combine for a goal

Injury update

Theo Peckham will be out for the next 4-5 weeks after going down in the second period in last night's game against the New Jersey Devils. Peckham, who leads the team with a +/- of +18 will be a loss that is felt, with his solid defensive play Peckham has been one of the unsung heroes of the Leafs recent surge. The injury is being classified as an MCL sprain similar to that of Luke Schenn who was hurt earlier in the season, Schenn is still recovering, estimations put him being able to rejoin the leafs in about two weeks.

To fill in for the Ailing Peckham, Toronto has recalled Jake Gardiner from the Toronto Marlies. Gardiner spent all last season with the leafs putting up 2 goals 25 assists in 71 games but did not impress this pre season and has struggled with the Marlies, posting 2 goals 2 assist and a -3 rating in 12 games played.

The boys have settled down and Bobrovsky has proven why I made the trade for him. Things are turning around now.
