Colborne for Nino? I'd do that in a second. They could have Franson too for all I care.

Phx said same thing about Turris, all it is is leverage
The Devils just shut out the Flyers 3-0. The Flyers are the first team to start this season 0-3. They've scored a total of 3 goals and allowed 11 (3.67 GAA). Could this be the first of the anticipated playoff teams to get off to a terrible start that jeopardizes their chances of making the playoffs?
Stuff like this helps our Leafs stay in the hunt.

If they don't turn things around in a hurry, it could certainly put them behind the 8-ball. A bad opening 10 games can really kill a team in a shortened season.

Oilers make the Leafs look like defensive stalwarts.

I don't know if it's been posted already or not, but on McCowan's show a few days ago, it was said that during the last lockout-shortened season, only one team that was out of a playoff spot after 10 games made the playoffs that year.

Yea sorry, was talking about leverage as in trade value. Some GM's will lie through their teeth if need be, like when Don Maloney took the steadfast position that he wouldn't trade Turris.

54 pts in 48 game schedule is equivalent to 92 pts in and 82 game schedule and roughly 92 pts puts a team on the cusp of making the playoffs.
If a team starts 1-7-2 in their first 10 for example, they have to play .658 the rest of the way to get 54 pts. In an 82 game schedule, they have to play .611 the rest of the way to get 92 pts.
Last season, only four teams played better than .658 hockey and the season before that only one team (since the lockout 2-3 teams on average) while 10 teams played better than .611 hockey last year and 8 the year before that.
A bad start or even a bad stretch is tougher to recover from in a shorter season.
Conversely, an 8-2 stretch combined with .500 hockey the rest of the way, gets a team 54 pts in a 48 game schedule. One might argue that if a few teams who most penciled in as making the playoffs get off to lousy starts (in part due to the lockout/short training camps), a team like the Leafs who most have on the outside looking in have a better shot at making the playoffs.
At this stage of the season, with so many picking the Leafs to miss, I'm playing the Hope card!!

Detroit losing bodies fast... RT @andystrickland: Told Ian White's cut leg went through the muscle #redwings #NHL
Colaiacovo is out with a shoulder problem (on IR). Kindl had had groind trouble (on IR). And Ericsson has had shoulder trouble.
Franson, who the Wings have been rumored to be interested in, might be a respectable short term replacement for White.

I wonder if his reputation as a diving whiner has anything to do with the non-calls.
