just what we need ... Edwin Encarnación shooting off his mouth again...........dude needs to stick to hitting baseballs.......jerk.......

With Staal gone and Crosby with a mashed potato-brain, there's no way Pitts trades Malkin.
- Pecafan Fan

Ok how about that for Crosby

id rather keep Mac and Grabo around..
- Arctic_AARDVARK

Mac probably won't be kept around.

JVR has fit in well on Grab's line

still a little early. MacArthur is someone who gets little praise from Leafs nation.. I like him though, especially when he's pissed off.

Colborne, Ashton, Biggs, and McKegg aren't exactly something to drool over..

It is if you like big hits, great fights and front of the net goals.

y not?

Oh god not this argument again.


He had one season with 55 pts and another two where he didn't crack 30 in either case.

I'd be intrigued if the man coming back was Duschene, but I doubt he will be moved, even if they did give the C to Landeskog
- AngryWhiteMale

Kessel didn't crack 40 points until his third either...

25. Whatever the Maple Leafs decide to do with Phil Kessel, the one reason I'd be wary of trading him is he is perfectly suited to playing in Toronto. He doesn't pay attention to anything: the newspapers, sports radio, etc. It's hard to insulate yourself from that intensity. It's why Toronto and Montreal were ready to throw millions at the Sedins, who are similarly unbothered. Those guys can be hard to find.

What a coincidence - that's the same thought #25 that Elliote Friedman wrote in his 30 Thoughts blog too. I think that means the Leafs should re-sign him.

Take out D'Amigo and that's a fair deal - don't want to overpay.

Is that so?

Not that I'm being hard on Mac. He has produced goals, his finish is there.

He just might not be a fit over the medium-long term

It's Malkin, you have to 'overpay' IMO.

Trade him for a 2013 1st.

Something tells me BB wasn't able to get a 1st for Mac

I like NHL quality players. Truthfully i don't care how they score goals or if they can fight

Kessel played 4 minutes less a game than him in their second years.

Multiply that by 82 games and its going to scew the stats.

SILENCE FOOL!
- AngryWhiteMale

Yay for overvaluing kessel!

lol

- AngryWhiteMale

Once he gets on fire I'm sure we'll see him traded.
Maybe Mac + Frany for ?????

I still think Coborne has promise.
- triggermartin

Probably not.

Ashton? That trade was a disaster.

Leafs can't play defense. Solution? Trade all the defensive defenders for big body forwards who don't use their size.

To the Sharks for a 2013 1st and Douglas Murray?
