I went to the Buffalo leafs game a while back and i watched him all game, he looked really good in every situation
O also grabo gives the puck away way to much for my liking, but he does have good skillz offensivly to make up for it

I agree completley with Kully he is a hell of a player big, strong quick and has good hands. That line has really impressed me this year everytime I think that one of is about to slow down they post up points! Its funny to say but the Leafs I think actually are 1 top line C away from having their top six.

Kessel-?????-Kadri
Kully-Grabo-Mac

Thats actually pretty solid!! IF you can fill that blank acompany that with a solid D and good goaltending Finally and I think we should be able to atleast fight for a playoff spot

Can't say enough good tihngs about Kulemin. He's received praise from a few NHL players (Malkin, Versteeg), and his combination of speed (fastest player on the team if you don't count John "Nothin' but Wheels" Mitchell), work ethic, size and - most importantly - skill, is simply amazing. I wouldn't be surprised to see him get 25 goals this year, then around 35 next year, and stay in that 35-40 goal range.

He had this goal a few games back, can't remember against who, where he displayed great patience with the puck and it was a beauty of a move.

Seriously, tell me you didn't think that was Malkin for just a second there.

Jonas Gustavsson is expected to start both games of Toronto's upcoming back-to-back situation.
"We've had a number of days off, so it's not like back-to-backs should be a problem for him," coach Ron Wilson said. The Leafs play in Buffalo on Friday before heading to Ottawa to take on the Senators on Saturday. Minor-league call-up James Reimer has not been told if he will get the opportunity to start his first career NHL game during his current stint with the team.

I figured that he would start both this weekend look for the split to start next week, but dont be surprised if Wilson keeps with the hot hand if the monster can keep ot up!

Here is a link to a great article on Kadri and how he expected to make this type of impact. He has been the best Leaf since he joined the team and looks more and more like he belongs at this level.

Here's something for you guys to debate in the slow Leafs week....

What is the worst trade in Leafs History:

a) Russ Courtnall for John Kordic
b) Coliacavo + Steen for Stepniak

For years I have said (a) I think that deal scared me in my youth but now to me the Cliff Flecter Swan Song Deal is by far the worst to me!!

What yours one of these or can you trump it!!

3/13/1996 New York Islanders traded Wendel Clark, Mathieu Schneider and D.J. Smith to the Toronto Maple Leafs for Darby Hendrickson, Sean Haggerty, Kenny Jonsson and 1st round selection (Roberto Luongo) in 1997.
