MapleLeafpoker 1,462 Posted June 24, 2011 Share Posted June 24, 2011 Interesting..Leafs add Rick Dudley to management team.good for them. He's a smart guy who I eblieve knows what hes doing. Hopefully not too late to get some good input for tonight.Dudley keeps getting the shaft after doing some strong builds. Watch the Jets, I believe thats a very good team there.

Dubey 1,035 Posted June 24, 2011 Share Posted June 24, 2011 Hmm, interesting. Not sure I'm crazy about Liles, or getting another defenseman, but I guess the price is not terrible. Link to post Share on other sites
digitalmonkey 929 Posted June 24, 2011 Share Posted June 24, 2011 Hmm, interesting. Not sure I'm crazy about Liles, or getting another defenseman, but I guess the price is not terrible.Looks like a set-up to another move. Maybe the Leafs deal another d-man for some forward help or maybe Komisarek gets fingered or sent to a team trying to reach the floor. Link to post Share on other sites

serge 904 Posted June 24, 2011 Author Share Posted June 24, 2011 We were very close to getting liles at the deadline. I think it's a good addition to the pp. Also like it when players waive the no trade clause to come to Toronto Welcome to Toronto jml. Link to post Share on other sites
mrdannyg 274 Posted June 25, 2011 Share Posted June 25, 2011 Leafs acquire JM Liles for a 2nd evidently. edit:2012 2nd, not tonight.Solid deal. It's a bit pointless if Liles signs somewhere else, but I think deals like this are good value when an extension is reasonable for both sides. I'm happy with this, even if we're looking at too many D again. Link to post Share on other sites

WestcoastCanuck 0 Posted June 25, 2011 Share Posted June 25, 2011 I knew Tomas Kaberle as a Leaf. Ive seen JM Liles play. Mr.Liles is no Tomas Kaberle.I somewhat disagree. When he is healthy Liles can be a scary player. I always feared him when the Canucks and Avs were battling it out for playoff spots and division titles. Link to post Share on other sites

Offensive PP dman, who will complement Schenn,Phaneuf,Aulie,Gunnar,Komisarek for top 6 Link to post Share on other sites

serge 904 Posted June 25, 2011 Author Share Posted June 25, 2011 J M Liles offensive numbers compared to Kaberle very close , slightly better if you take in consideration he played less games.The number that surprised me was the amount of blocked shots and hits he had...While he isnt a great defensive dman, playing on a bad team last year put up good numbers.The defense should be much better this year, if Phaneuf plays like he did the second half and Aulie and Gunnar continue their development.Now if we can only get Komisarek to play anywhere like his oldself we have one of the best dman core in the league.

serge 904 Posted June 25, 2011 Author Share Posted June 25, 2011 Joshua Leivo #86LW – Sudbury Wolves (OHL)Born May 26 1993 -- Innisfil, ONTHeight 6.02 -- Weight 180 -- Shoots RHP Rank 75: doesn’t put up numbers, but his style of play makes it quite possible for him to find a role on the bottom 6 of a team down the road in his career.Tom Nilsson, D, Mora #100Sometimes overlooked when thrown in with Sweden's other impressive defenders, Nilsson can sometimes be the most dangerous weapon they have. Nilsson can flat out hit and he loves to do it. His physical play during the U18 tournament was impressive to say the least and changed the momentum in his team's favor on several occasions. A part from his deceivingly good physical play, Nilsson is fairly well rounded and can be counted on to do what is asked of him. His skating can still improve but overall Nilsson is a player who really thrust himself into the draft discussion with his end of year playTony Cameranesi - C - 5-9/162 - HIGH-MN #130has blazing speed and can drive wide with seeming ease .. closes ground quickly on the backcheck and in races for the puck .. has a hard, crisp wristshot .. showed a consistent effort in the Elite League, where he was surrounded by teammates that could do something with his passes ... one of ten finalists for the 2011 Minnesota Mr. Hockey award ... committed to Minnesota-Duluth (2012-13 Link to post Share on other sites
serge 904 Posted June 25, 2011 Author Share Posted June 25, 2011 David Broll #152Left Wing – Soo Greyhounds (OHL)Born January 4, 1993 -Mississauga, Ont.Height 6.02 - Weight 216 - Shoots LHP: Going forward, Broll will need to vigorously work on his skating abilities if he wants a shot at an NHL career. Broll’s size, physicality, and willingness to punish opposing players will likely be worth a mid-round pick on it’s own. Whoever selects Broll will need to thoroughly help him improve his skating in order for him to become an effective NHL prospect Link to post Share on other sites
