Where does the line start?

Still hurting down the middle and the blueline looks wonky ...especially without Gardiner ...its not the right time. Although Burke has to consider what is available next summer if the kids come up short again.

For me, it's a definite no at that price with some interest if the price comes down to next to nothing.

How about just Bozak for Theodore if Lou heads to Fla. Numbers were about the same last year.

Much better option than trading the farm for Luo...

I'd rather roll the dice with Reimer and Scrivens for this shorten season.

Sink or swim with Reimer or Scrivens.

The season might be effectively over for the Leafs within the first 2 weeks anyway.

Keep the cap flexibility, stay patient with a young core and a new coach.

Give Reimer a chance, now that he is healthy again.

Re-evaluate in the off-season.

It is not like the Leafs are even in the conversation for a cup, so who the F cares?

Freedom 60's?

classic rock?

New wave?

Agreed. Worst thing that can happen is we draft a potential elite level forward prospect, something this team is desperate for.

If by "Elite" you mean "decent 2nd liners", then yea we agree, except that I only think there are 2, maybe 3 on the Leafs.
- Aetherial



Kessel finished 6th in scoring last year and Lupul was on pace to finish right behind him before he got hurt.

Blew say...Ryan Getzlaf out of the water. So they're just "2nd liners" then?

Van Riemsdyk and Grabovski are 2nd liners....who play on our 2nd line.

MacArthur,Kulemin,Kadri and Frattin all have 2nd line potential.

Offense isn't a problem on our team. It's keeping the puck out of our net. We were 29th in goals against last year

With an actual coaching system/game plan what we have now may very well do just fine...

Unless Komisarek is going the other way, I can't see the Leafs wanting to do this if costs them one or more of their good prospects. If the Leafs suck, there are some good centres that could draft this season like Barkov, Mackinnon and Monahan.

Thats the hope Leaf fans have.

Just imagine the chaos if they get Luongo and still miss the playoffs?

And then the first round pick we traded for him goes to the Canucks and we win the lottery and they draft a franchise player first overall
