i hope his short career in Russia had some impact on his motivation and work ethic. the st. louis blues signed him Monday, and if he clears waivers.. he'll be in the note in a week.
it's pretty sad that wellwood played with sundin all of those years and put up the points that he did, that is sad considering guys like hoglund berezin played AMAZING with sundin, but i gues being good as a 3rd line checker is better than being a top line scorer (Sarcasm)
This guy is the classic example of an internet fool talking out of his ass. Wellwood never played a game in the AHL since when he was sent down there were no spots for him on the Moose.
Good luck to the Leafs this is probably one last memory of Wellwood as a Leafs too bad he is gone to the Canucks a real fit for Vancouver. I am looking forward to October when the 2008-09 regular season begins can't wait to see how they perform hopefully they can be like the Sens from a year ago. Fletcher you made me change my mind from hating the Leafs to my second favorite team! GO LEAFS!!
probably...well ...IT IS. its sucks that hes gone he was a favorite but i guess i overestimated him a bit, and fletcher probably knows what hes doing better than i do :P
?? i dont get what you mean? I do like wellwood and i was only saying that he did not play to expectations and although im disapointed he left, its probably for the best.
Unless you were not talking to me, i just assumed you were considering you replied to my message, (well thats what the e-mail from youtube said ;) )
"It's not true at all that I'm definitely going to Vancouver. I haven't yet decided if I'm going to continue to play hockey" said Mats Sundin on July 22.
83 points in 82 games that's like they lost every game in OT. Leafs always give up easy goals and when they had a lead they often blew it the Leafs only played well after the February deadline. I remembered Maurice said the Leafs were ready to compete for the cup last October I think how can they compete if they only finished 12th and can't make the playoffs? No wonder why Maurice was let go the Leafs were soo embarrassing last season. Leafs had great coaches but the team always let them down.
wellwood was one of my favourite players.... cliff fletcher did the wrong thing... he should have bought out blake instead and play welly on the top line...tucker and blake held wellwood down this season...welly and tucker are gone and blake is still here
you are so right! I like wellwood too and you know why the Canucks want him because he is a good young player. Fletcher had done a lot of great moves this off-season so I forgive him. Oh ya who do you think is a better player, Kyle Wellwood or Mikhail Grabovski?
I wish Wellwood good luck with the Canucks I know he'll like it there just as much as he does with the Leafs or even better.
Did the Leafs won that game? Blake shouldn't be with the Leafs he should still be with the Islanders. I am hoping that Fletcher can trade Blake for a player that will be awesome.
send blake and mccabe ( cause mccabe will waive that no trade clause because he lives on the island ) ....for a load of picks..so we will lose 11M in salary and get a good free agent
I went to TO before so I know how long it takes me from my home to TO Downtown area approximately 3 1/2 hours. I don't go there often because I really don't have to I can watch Leafs game on TSN and CBC just like you guys do in TO so no difference there. I like the Leafs and can't wait to see what the team is capable of doing starting in about 2 months.
As much as I like Wellwood I don't agree that he should play on the top line if Fletcher didn't buy him out. The top line will be Antropov-Hagman-Mayer at least that's what I lik to see.
antro and hagman no doubt...both can score 30 goals if they really try...hagman can even score 40...but we need somebody like kulemin to play that top line...hes definately coming to the NHL This year...and robbie earl should play with mayers on the checking line....so we can stop the likes of ottawa and montreal when they try to get going
so I guess if Sundin is gone Hagman might be the top scorer for the Leafs the coming season and who will be the captain of the Leafs? I am starting to like the Leafs again the past three seasons upset me so much I quite watching them play now I know the Leafs have a great chance of making it to the Conference Finals can't wait for October when the Leafs hit the ice!
the captain thing is the problem..... kaberle is a perfect fit... but in my opinion hes a shy guy...doesnt talk to the media much.... mccabe would be better ...but nobody wants him and he is sticking around....maybe even antropov..also the thing i dont like about hagman is he gets a lot of goals but not a lot of assists...he will probably get like 35 goals and just 15 assists
so antro might be captain I don't have a problem with that but we are still not sure what will happen to Mats Sundin will he return in Leafs jersey or not btw he is wearing "number 13". You mentioned that hagman doesn't get a lot of assists I have no idea about that, I don't even know him before he was acquired by the Leafs but if he can score lots of goals then that's the only thing that matters at the end of each game they count the number of goals not assists.
yeah thats true... sundin will not retire..but i expect him to go to a canadian team ...nucks habs or hopefully leafs... if he re signs... then i expect him to put up a 30 goal 60 assist season with hagman and kulemin... if not it hagman antro and kulemin
so kulemin will actually play for the Leafs next season didn't hear that coming I don't know him very well either and who is Luc Schenn another guy I don't really know too much about lots of new players are ready to play for the Leafs that's a great news for the fans. The biggest concern the past season was the team's defense and I don't think that will be a problem in the coming season. The Leafs had changed almost everything the management, the coach and acquired players from different teams.
defence is no longer a problem... we added jeff finger... played for the avs.. jonas frogren... hard hitting ( came from sweden..28 years old.) defenceman...schenn...really hard hitting defenceman ( played in junior , whl ) ...add kaberle..white.. kubina..coliacovo......so we have a physical defence system...and a lot of young guns. Leafs were supposed to change everything....thats why they hired fletcher...to rebuild...cant wait tho....leafs will be wayyyy more tough than they were last year
so we got players who can defend and players who can score goals and provide assists the Leafs certainly will be a great team in the coming season but we don't know how well the team will perform and how many points they will grab before the season over next April. If the Leafs are to go deep in the playoffs they'll need to finish I suppose in the top 4.
to me it doesn't really matter whether Sundin play for the Leafs or not, last season ya it definitely matters cause if he chose to leave at the trade deadline then the Leafs will be left with Antropov doing most if not all of the offensive job and since the Leafs had poor defensive lines then Leafs might finish dead last by April. Now it doesn't matter too much since we have Hagman, Kulemin who can score goals. and the team's defense will improve as well with Fingers leading the way.
mccable doesn't fit well in any of those pairs but I think he'll do fine if he is in Kubina-Karberle pair that will probably be best for him. I do hope he leaves he doesn't do much for the Leafs anyways so no point of him staying btw we already have enough D-men to last for a whole season.
stfu with the racist comments, it's fucking pathetic. P.S. Separatism is not even an issue anymore and Quebecois people are just like you an me. Show some fucking respect for your fellow humans. Idiots.
