Hey Dino—Dave Mo here, a Bleacher Report Community Coordinator.

I've been spending time on our Leafs page and read a couple of your old articles. Really on-point analysis...you do good work.

Given that you haven't written in a while, I thought I'd check in and see if you're interested in picking up your coverage again. What do you say?

If not, it would be great if you could give me some feedback on why you decided to stop writing and what we could have done to better serve you. If you wouldn't mind, please shoot me a line at dmorrison@bleacherreport.com with any thoughts.

Thanks so much,

Dave Mo

I'm sorry about that, it was a quick edit and I probably wasn't paying attention. Sorry again.

By no means do I think Tucker is done. I think he's been playing hurt a lot of this year and by no means is letting that be an excuse—which would explain his cold play this season. I think he brings more than a powerplay scorer to a team though, because even without the puck he runs around, tires the other team out, hits, gets into heavy traffic on the boards, and a lot of other things well. Is he a first line player? Not anymore (I think he could have moved to the first line with Sundin for an extended stay a few times in the past two or three years) and perhaps he's no more than an exceptional third line agitator or a second line shooter (he'll become a second line scorer once his shots start finding the back of the net—the same thing's been happening with Blake this year). But no, he's not done, and I think if the Leafs want they can get something for him. I would prefer to see draft picks come back because I don't know how many resources can fetch bona-fide top line talent (under the age of 35) on this team, and we've got plenty of young defensemen (Carlo, Stral, Kronwall, Harrison, White, and even the Woz) and third liners, so I'd like to take chances with a boat load of draft picks this year.

Hey Dino,

I just wanted to let you know that Bleacher Report has launched out of beta with an updated look and feel and some great new features. Check out the "Game On" link in the header to find out more.

Next week we'll be launching the site to the world with some public announcements—and it'd be great to get a contribution from you between now and Tuesday to make Bleacher Report's launch a success.

Let me know if you need any help with ideas or have questions. Have a great weekend Dino!
