cameroncrazie07 Posted July 3, 2011 Share Posted July 3, 2011 Wow. I wonder how much B.S. John Tortorella threw Brad Richards. Has Brad Richards not looked at the roster? Besides him, where is the talent? Gaborik? For how long? When will he get injured? After that then what? It's a team full of 2 and 3 line talent and then Brad Richards. And the defense is where and who? Has this franchise not learned? Did they not learn from the Chris Drury & Scott Gomez signings? Did Brad Richards not see the epic fail that those two had and that the team had? This franchise doesn't get you can't just pay every free agent out there and build a team that way, and obviously Brad Richards was blinded by the lights that are New York to actually see that he's going to a team that will always be struggling to get into the playoffs and then when they do they'll bow out year after year in the first round. I mean heck, after this season they'll have a new coach anyway, because Tortorella will be fired and blamed for everything that is wrong with this team. I would've had more respect for the guy if he would've signed with Philly, Boston, Detroit, even Montreal, San Jose, or Vancouver but to sign in New York, shows he doesn't want to win another Cup and he's just cashing in. Enjoy your money Brad, it won't buy you happiness.Seriously though, after saying "I laugh at anyone who thinks Brad Richards will sign with Toronto or the Rangers." you've already embarrassed yourself by being wrong enough today. If I were you I'd stop making these "predictions" about Richards or anything NHL for that matter, because it doesn't seem like you're anywhere close to being right.

Clearly, he has an existing relationship with John Tortorella, from their days in Tampa Bay, so that probably was another big factor in his decision.

NEW.ERA Posted July 3, 2011 Share Posted July 3, 2011 Lombardi isn't the player everyone thinks he can be, ever since he left Calgary he's been injury prone. World class speed and kill some penalties but he's nothing more.Cody Franson now he's the gem. Brian Burke is building quite the team in Toronto.

Brian Burke is building quite the team in Toronto.The Preds' wanted to dump Lombardi's contract, the Leafs' said they would on the condition that they get Franson, who is on the final year of his entry level deal which is paying him less than $1 million. The Leafs' now have a STOCKED and quite large Defense corps:Phaneuf, Schenn (unsigned RFA), Aulie, Gunnarsson, Komisarek, Franson, Liles And that is before you consider the players who are going to be with the Marlies' that can challenge for a roster spot:Gardiner, Holzer, Blacker, Gysbers, MikusThe Leafs' HAVE to be moving one or more of those players (probably Komisarek or possibly Schenn, who had an amazing season) will be shipped out for an established top-6 forward to either be the true #1 centre or another top scorer. My money is on Schenn being packaged for someone big, although, I'd be just as happy keeping him on the defense!
