Sometimes the hockey God's are just routing for you. Was out if GM
Marcel did not penalty out when Carolina just blew it all in the final
game of the season. So, not only is Chad in, but he has Stepan.
Already without Havlat he could have lost Brouwer in the final game, but
Dallas blew it. So now Chad is in the NHLP playoffs and he gets a
perfect matchup with the lowly Boston Bruins (Ryan) in a series this
team could actually win. Will likely be gone when Tampa loses out
but has hope they run and the Leafs finally win an NHLP Championship.
(Not very likely though) |

GM Chad likely waited too long to trade Daniel Sedin and had to settle
for St Louis and 10 points. That left Chad only one point up on
6th with Malone still out long term. Making the playoffs just
isn't likely with the lowest scoring team, by far, in March and now
without Malone. Even if Chad gets in he is already eating Havlat
and is do or die on Tampa making a run. All and all it will likely
go down as another miserable season for GM Chad. |

964 (H10 -
1387, L22 - 333) |
Sitting with the most attractive player, of all NHLP teams in non
playoff spots, GM Chad can, if he chooses, take a playoff spot easily,
by trading Daniel Sedin. Imagine what NHLP team could not just go
right over the top with him on their team? It is also almost a
certainty that GM Chad can never truly replace Sedin's value at this
stage of the season. It would have to be value to value is what
Chad has stated. So if that doesn't happen, GM Chad just can't let
his season go, failing to make the playoffs and not aggressively trying.
So it is trade Sedin or move other parts. Havlat and Ruutu are not
helping. Modano is a perfect number for the minors and in a Sedin
deal, and may have value within the league in a pre-minors move, if only
for such. All eyes are on GM Chad in Toronto and this might be one
of the most exciting teams at the Trading Deadline when GM Chad finally
says, "Who can make me a serious offer for Sedin?" |

OK, if Daniel Sedin isn't traded, who will be? Havlat isn't
looking like a playoff player and Ruutu and Fisher are both fringe
players. That leaves Knuble, Modano, and Purcell. I'd would
say that sometimes, you just have to cut the cord...but he, just cut the
cord! So now what? |

1163 (H10 -
1387, L22 - 333) |
GM Chad didn't wait for Ladd to get traded or resign, he dumped him to
the minors along with Shattenkirk and Tambellini and added Havlat,
Modano and Fisher. Nothing 'Balls Out" about that one as things
are turning out, looks like a great, great move at this point. Has
assets but all eyes are on Daniel Sedin. If any player, on any
NHLP team out, is likely worth emptying the beer fridge for, it is
easily this guy. Chad faces some tough choices moving forward.
He undoubtedly has stated that his first choice is to get in with Sedin,
but what he is offered from the second choice grab bag, might be too
tempting not to accept. What will that be? What will happen
here? Don't go far, things are winding down in a hurry! |

1099 (H10 -
1387, L22 - 333) |
Just 5 playoff players and just 5 points up on 5th. It will not
get any easier from here on out. Points are critical in the North,
every one of them. There is now chatter of Ladd being traded?
On one side he is an RFA and will want a raise from his current $2.35
million, likely about $3.5 to $4.5 and Atlanta can do that for their
team Captain. Also would it make sense to make him Captain and
then trade him? Knowing he is Captain, would that make him want to
resign? Interesting thoughts. GM Chad would prefer he gets
dealt, leaving only Shattenkirk as things sit a non playoff player.
We'll know soon enough. |

Daniel Sedin and Ruttu teamed up for 33 points in January!
Winnipeg (Mike and Ray) and Los Angeles (Andrew) only had 37! Then
there were Jr's Dallas Stars...Anyhow, these guys are on fire for Chad's
Leafs. Ruttu is finally rated but Ladd seems to be headed in the
wrong direction. Three fringe players and only 6 points to work
with. Chad will need February to be as strong as January, for this team
cannot let up or it will be out, just that quickly. |

Man you have to love the Sedins! Ruutu is on fire and it is
looking like Carolina will overtake Atlanta for a playoff spot, at
Ladd's expense here. Nothing to work with as far as position, but
this team is scoring and that might change. One thing that won't
change here this season, Chad's wish for Vancouver to go to the Cup
final! |

1387 (L22 - 333) |
Another team at new heights after the Winter Meeting. GM Chad
bounced quickly on Tambellini the minute GM Joel dropped him in the
previous deal. That was an outstanding move by Chad that likely
caught several GM's off guard. Previously Chad added Ladd in a
steal for his non playoff, injured Roy. Chad's Big Macs must of
tasted better after those moves. Now only Ruutu is not rated, but
his 28 are a reasonable number for Chadwick to work with. |

1131 (H2 - 1365,
L22 - 333) |
A nice jump in the CTR but still major work to do.
Three non playoff guys with 75 points between them. It is nearing
the time when someone will have to get eaten. That player would
have, best been Roy, but he is now out for the season. This team
can still score, but only has 14 points to work with. Simply not
enough when this much work is required. We have heard Chad say
before, "There is nothing I can do there", because often he just leaves
things too late. If you have 7 playoff players, you can take on a
non playoff player and points, if need be. If you don't have that,
what you do have is work to do. NEW YEAR'S WISH: This team
makes the NHLP playoffs. Daniel Sedin can win Chad the Cup here by
himself with the Canucks run, so that is the wish. Support could
come from any East team, Washington or Tampa Bay at the moment.
Who replaces Roy is key to how everything after that unfolds. |

775 (H2 - 1365,
L22 - 333) |
GM Chad has work to do with 61 non playoff points from three players.
Many NHLP teams are facing eating a non playoff player and Chad's Leafs
are as high on that list as any. Work will be needed to change
things to 7 playoff players, things that can be easily done in this
seasons NHLP, but the longer you wait the more competition you may get,
as others are in the same boat. Only 6 points up on 4th, Chad
can't be throwing away points. Shattenkirk was an awesome
addition. (“Fasten

Well, GM Chad did take the CTR's advice and unload low scoring Modano,
but only because Modano suffered a serious, long-term injury.
Three players are not rated for Chad's Leafs. Daniel Sedin is God
here and the rest, well, they aren't getting too many other NHLP GM's
too excited. |

648 (H2 - 1365,
L22 - 333) |
A long 13 points out with Vancouver struggling to stay rated, sitting in
the 8th seed in the West. This team has assets but can't score.
If Daniel Sedin slows up, this team fades fast. There comes a time
when you must give up on players like Knuble and Modano when you can't
score. Get some scoring and save the best asset, before he becomes
your only way out. |

938 (H2 - 1365,

This team can't make up their minds if they are really good or really
bad. A huge jump back the right way thanks to Daniel Sedin being
rated finally, adding Samuelsson in with the Canucks improved play as
well. Knuble was a nice addition in a trade with GM Shawn.
Kessel and Booth are not rated. |

Is there a colder team right now? Actually, there is not!
This was a major collapse. This team was on fire and then
everything went wrong. The scoring stopped, a league low 6 points
this past week. Heavily invested in the previously 1st seeded
Leafs who started with 9 out of a possible 10 points in their first five
and have gotten 2 of 10 in their last five. Daniel Sedin also fell
out of the rated category along with Booth and Samuelsson. On top
of all this, Chad's Leafs are now double digits out of a NHLP playoff
spot in the North and falling fast. |

Is there a hotter team right now? This team is dominating.
Led by Kessel who is chewing up goaltenders. GM Chad is finally
enjoying watching his Leafs play, getting 9 of a possible 10 points to
start the season. Daniel Sedin, Kaberle, Booth and Samuelsson are
doing their part. Bergeron has yet to get a point, making this team
even more scary, as that guy can bring fans out of their seats and
likely will do so any day now. We like this team as long as Toronto
sticks around. Why can't they? Every year there is a Colorado or
Phoenix and you can't argue until someone proves that they can actually
beat these guys. |
