Sundin - Toronto or Nothing?

Posted by admin on 11th, 2008

If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!

According to an article in the Toronto Star, Toronto General Manager Cliff Fletcher has stated that Mats Sundin has started working out in preparation for what it appears could be another year in the NHL.

“He’s working out off the ice and he’s supposed to start on the ice the beginning of the week.(in Sweden)”

Could it be a case of Toronto or Bust for Sundin? Turning down the huge offer from the Canucks or $20 million over 2 years sure gives the impression that Sundin is not interested in donning another teams jersey.

And why should he? We’re talking about a guy who has put his heart and soul into the Leafs, and who through all the years has been a solid ambassador for the game. He deserves the right to stay in Toronto and finish his contract there.

Daryl “Razor” Reaugh on NHL Off-Season

Posted by admin on 5th, 2008

Daryl Reaugh is known for his humor. As color commentator for the Dallas Stars, “Razor” has even created his own language known as “Razorisms”, with such phrases as “succulent saucer pass” and “Turcolicious”.

Recently Razor posted his thoughts on the NHL off-season on his blog, “Razor With An Edge“.

He talks about topics ranging from the New York Islanders coaching positions…

The Isles tend to do their thinking outside of the box and in that vein I suggest they resurrect the old “player/coach” double-duty and give the job to former Star, Bill Guerin. Billy G would be perfect. He’d be a latter day Reg Dunlop — sans the tan leather suit, the Hansons, and the inability to skate…

to Mats Sundin and the Maple Leafs…

Any moment now Mats Sundin is going to tell us all whether or not he feels his kids’ children’s offspring may need an influx of cash some day. I’m not sure if it’s sad or purely dumbfounding that $20,000,000.00 for two years worth of skating and shooting just isn’t intoxicating enough to be a no-brainer…

and of course, NHL off-season TV…

With no hockey to watch during the off-season the best “guy shows” to watch are…

Grab a drink, take a seat and have a read of yet another class Razor blog post!

NHL Draft Day Trades

Posted by admin on 21st, 2008

NHL Draft day is always quite busy with regards to trades, and today didn’t disappoint. Not surprisingly, the Tampa Bay Lightning drafted Steve Stamkos as their first draft pick, but it’s possible that was overshadowed by the Florida Panthers trading Olli Jokinen to the Phoenix Coyotes in exchange for Nick Boynton (D), Keith Ballard (D) and a 2nd round draft pick (49th overall).

Philadelphia Flyers have traded R.J. Umberger (and their 4th round pick) to the Columbus Blue Jackets for their first round (19th overall) and 3rd round (67th overall).

Calgary has acqured Mike Cammalleri from the L.A. Kings in a 3-way deal that also saw Alex Tanguay going to the Montreal Canadiens. The Flames gave up their 1st round (17th overall) pick to LA.

The Kings gave their 17th and 28th picks in the 1st round to the Anaheim Ducks for their 12th pick.

Ottawa have placed Ray Emery on waivers, the first step towards a buyout.

The Canadiens have been given the OK from the Maple Leafs to “talk” to Mats Sundin.
