You ge Its a unique situation that new Toronto Maple Leafs general manager Dave Nonis finds himself in. Hes neither new to the club - having served in the Leafs front office as an assistant general manager since 2008 - nor new to being a general manager, having served as Vancouver Canucks GM from 2004 to 2008. In fact, hes not even new to the Maple Leafs general managers duties. Speaking to TSN Hockey Insider Pierre LeBrun on ESPN.com, Nonis stated that not a lot has changed since taking over from his predecessor Brian Burke last week. "Its not a lot different but its more of it," Nonis said of his workload. "We had split a lot of the work up. Brian had delegated a lot of things to me. Obviously, now that Im in the position myself, theres more to do. But its not unfamiliar." Nonis has been identified as a key player in a lot of the Leafs biggest transactions since arriving in 2008, including apparent under-cover work in helping the Leafs acquire captain Dion Phaneuf from Calgary. He has wasted little time in the past week putting his stamp on this years team, dealing veteran forward Matthew Lombardi to Phoenix on Wednesday for a conditional draft pick and placing Tim Connolly on waivers earlier on Thursday. The moves send a clear message to the Leafs players: Theres opportunity to be had this season. "At some point they have to be given an opportunity to sink or swim if theyve earned that opportunity," Nonis told LeBrun of some of the younger players in camp. "Our farm team has performed to a high level for close to two years now. A lot of those players are young players. If they play better than some of the veterans, even for a short time, they have to be given an opportunity." Players such as Nazem Kadri, Matt Frattin and Korbinian Holzer have been on the bubble for the past few years, splitting time between the Leafs and the Marlies of the American Hockey League. With veteran bodies being moved aside, it may be time for the Leafs youth – many of whom came into the system under Burke – to make the leap. Nonis likens it to a similar shift he employed in Vancouver, developing youth in the minors and eventually establishing it as the teams young core. Between 2005 and 2007, Nonis leaned on Vancouvers farm team in Manitoba and called up players that have grown into the foundation of the Canucks winning teams of the past few years including Ryan Kesler, Alexandre Burrows, Mason Raymond, Alexander Edler, Kevin Bieksa and Cory Schneider. "We made a decision at a certain point there too, that we had to get younger and bring certain youth into the lineup," he said. "A lot of those players that we started to look at are still playing there. You have to give those players a chance to develop and grow." The Leafs organizational depth could, of course, also be used to augment the NHL roster via trade. The Leafs have very publicly been linked to a possible pursuit of Canucks keeper Roberto Luongo, but the total cost to the teams future may deter any such move in the near future. "Im not going to give up youth for older players," he said. "We would trade a young player for a young player. We might trade from strength. But were not going to trade a bunch of young players or first-round picks for short-term gain. You cant build a club that way. "Theres a point in time where youre good enough and deep enough where you can look at doing some of those things -- were not there," he added. "And if we start to do that, were going to end up being severely hampered in the development process of our club." That said, Nonis did admit that goaltending is one area he would like to improve. "We would upgrade our goaltending by the weekend if we could do it without taking away significant pieces," Nonis said. "Its not that we wouldnt upgrade. But for whats out there right now, we would set our team back, especially in the long term." The Leafs have a goaltending tandem of James Reimer and Ben Scrivens penciled in to start this season and while Nonis would not undercut their abilities, he does acknowledge the risks associated with leaning on a pair of goaltenders who have played a combined total of 83 career NHL games. "We believe we have two capable goaltenders," he told LeBrun. "Do we think theyre NHL-caliber? The answer is yes, theres no question about that. The only question we have, and that people have, is the experience factor. And thats fair. You cant sit there and say we have two experience goaltenders because we dont. Thats one area we would like to improve -- an experienced goalie that can play. At this point, there hasnt been a price reasonable enough for us to act on it." Nonis did acknowledge that hes under pressure to perform. He had an opportunity as the new man in charge to plead for patience as he puts together his blueprint for success, but instead admitted that he doesnt expect patience out of one of hockeys most rabid fan bases. "Am I asking the fans to be more patient? Not really, because I understand what theyve gone through," he said. "Weve got fantastic fans. I dont think you ask the fans to be patient. But we have to be. We have to be. Its up to us to try to put together a team that can win and win for a long time. Our ownership group has made it clear what they want: a winning team that can win for a very long time." Nonis had a message of hope for Leafs fans that the NHLs longest playoff drought could soon come to an end and that better times could be not so far ahead. But he refuses to take short cuts to get to that point. "We have everything we need here to try and put together a winning team," he told LeBrun. "But were going to take the time that we need to allow these players to grow. If we can make moves that will fast-track it, we will, but not at the expense of first-round picks and good, young players." Malcolm Smith Jersey .

Thanks to the weather, hell have to be extra patient. The game between the San Francisco Giants and New York Mets was postponed because of rain Sunday and rescheduled as part of a single-admission doubleheader Monday beginning at 4:10 p.m. Rather than have Santana start one of those games, the Mets pushed him back a day to Tuesday against Jose Reyes and the Miami Marlins. "Its about the whole staff, not just Johan," manager Terry Collins said. "We decided not to double up the two guys (Dillon Gee and Santana) and then all of a sudden have to scramble around in four days to see whos going to pitch." Mets long man Miguel Batista will make a spot start in the first game against Giants ace Tim Lincecum, off to a terrible start this season. Gee, the scheduled starter Sunday, will pitch Game 2 against Madison Bumgarner. New York made the move in order to stay in rotation the rest of the week. The Mets also were a bit concerned about the possibility of more rain Monday and they didnt want Santanas outing potentially affected by bad weather. The two-time Cy Young Award winner is coming off the shortest start of his career. He lasted only 1 1-3 innings in a 9-3 loss to the Braves last Tuesday, his third game after missing last season following shoulder surgery. "Its definitely not the way you want to do it," Santana said. "Im still trying to work my way back and go deeper in the games. I want to compete. I wanted to start the next day." Collins said Santana has thrown two bullpen sessions this week following the brief outing in Atlanta. "So theres nothing wrong with giving him another day," the manager said. Lincecum, who was slated to pitch Sunday at Citi Field, will now go Monday. He is still looking for his first win of the year. "Its just the way it goes," said Lincecum, also a two-time Cy Young Award winner. "You deal with this stuff over here, especially at this time of year. We dealt with it in Washington a couple years ago, and it felt like the batting cage was flooded with 2 feet of water. You get pushed back and you just try to stay focused and try not to get out of your plan." Lincecum is 0-2 with a 10.54 ERA in three outings, allowing 22 hits in 13 2-3 innings. Opponents are battiing .dddddddddddd344 against him and hes allowed at least five runs in three consecutive games for the first time in his career. He began to find his form following a rocky start in his most recent game Monday night against Philadelphia. Matched up with fellow ace Roy Halladay, the four-time All-Star gave up four runs in the first before holding the Phillies to one run over the next five innings. Still, he wound up on the short side of a 5-2 loss. Nine of the 16 runs Lincecum has allowed have come in the first inning. Last season, he gave up eight first-inning runs all year. "Tim has really struggled with his command probably as much as anything, but last game was a better game for him," Giants manager Bruce Bochy said. "The first inning he gave up a big number but the next five innings he threw the ball well. Hes got to build on that and I think he will, and he even said that. Hes got some things to feel good about his last outing." The Mets might be just the right opponent for Lincecum as he tries to get himself on track. He is 3-0 with a 0.41 ERA in his last three starts against New York, yielding only one earned run in 22 innings. In seven career starts against the Mets, he is 3-1 with a 2.87 ERA and one complete game. "His stuff is fine, physically hes fine, but like all of us, you know, when we dont have success our confidence gets shaken a little bit," Bochy said. "But hes going to be OK through all this. Hes been through it." Lincecum certainly seemed loose Sunday morning as he peeked out of the dugout to get a gauge on the rain. Wearing shorts, sandals and a sweat shirt, he pulled off his headphones to chat with a couple of reporters about the weather. "I think hes eager to get out there, but if its another day I dont think thats going to make a big difference for Timmy," Bochy said before the game was postponed. With rain falling and the forecast predicting showers all day, the game was called about 90 minutes before the scheduled start. The teams split the first two in a four-game series, with both decided in the last inning by one run. NOTES: Collins spoke with reliever Frank Francisco and assured him that hes still the teams closer. Collins pulled a struggling Francisco with a 4-2 lead in the ninth inning Saturday. ...
