Some easy linkage on a Friday morning

Kadri vs. Turris

BoO has a total inferiority complex. Let's go ahead and compare a 2009 7th overall pick to a 2007 3rd overall pick. Surely they must both be at the same stage developmentwise, and surely all credit for Turris' "success" must go to the Ottawa Senators. Please.

Nazem Kadri: 7th Overall and a Bust

Hey remember when Brayden Schenn was a can't miss prospect? How about that MPS eh? Scott Glennie won the Calder already right? Newsflash: Prospects take time to develop. Hold your horses people. See above; it took malcontent Kyle Turris 4 seasons after his draft to turn into a.........third line player on the Senators.

Drunk Zamboni Driving

Hells yeah.

Gustavsson or Reimer: Who should the Leafs ride?

Ron Wilson is a very uncreative coach when it come to picking starting goalie. He simply picks the hot hand. Right now, that's Reimer. Reimer sat down earlier for Gus to go on a hotstreak, now it's time Gus did the same.

Why the Leafs Shouldn't Trade Clarke MacArthur

Why the Leafs should trade Clarke MacArthur; because he'll be great in a package deal and I see Kadri being an easy replacement going forward if it's not a forward coming back in the deal.

Dreger: Brian Burke is Desperate to Make a Deal

And I think there are deals to be made, Burke just has to pull the trigger on one.
