Kessel? LOL Good luck with that. Canucks don't have anyone that the Leafs would need to move for him.

Why are you going to miss his 5 goals this year?

Good job Scoob!

Love how you included Ballard and Raymond in almost every proposal.

If you sh!t on it, flies will come...

Not bad scoob. All offers not bad at all. I like the Ovi trade I think he would revitalize his career in a true hockey market. Some players thrive in the spotlight his enigmatic personality definitely would.

Scoob lost all credibility when he included Prab Rai in the deal. No way we're dealing the Surrey Rocket!

Burrows always amazes me . One of my all time best Canucks . He does everything and anything asked of him.

I see what you did there Scoob and agree with a lot of it even though we all know the trolls will circle the wagons.Most of them will be Leaf fans and they will be pissed because every offer they make has to be Kadri Bozak and Komi included in the deal or it will never happen.

I agree about moving Raymond in the deal. His stock is rising but will never be a top 6 on the Canucks. Lesser teams would love his speed and playmaking.

Ballard too is proving his worth . He may soon be tradable for a decent piece but lets face it Tanev and Ballard are starting to make a nice third pairing. I would be more enticed to move a top 4 Dman and get the right handed shot we need from a natural RHD. THat elimnates Bieksa who fights is a RHD and chips in with the scoring.

I think Flyers could very well be the team in the summer. Edm and Tor I think Lu has already refused to go . I heard he wanted Chi NYR or FLA.

I don't think Fla are interested at all, NYR will never happen and CHI , there is a bigger chance that the Leafs would make the playoffs before Chi trades for LU.

I think it is Flyers or here

Read Scooby's tidbit at the end of the blog. We're anticipating some trollers loosing their mind in 5, 4, 3...

Ian wrote some fluff, Leaf trolls come, Ian rebutted. Then we had some meaningless conversation. Ian posted Scooby's trade-O-rama and now we wait for wave 2

I think the flyers would want us to take Byz but he is a flake I wouldn't touch his contract for nothing.

I would give them Luongo for Coturier, Bryzgalov and a 1st. Use Bryz as the back up for the rest of the year, and then just use the amnesty buyout at the end of the year.

Who, the Flyers?

Phoenix would welcome their all star goalie back, where he could hide in anonymity and then the NHL can buy him out next season, before they move to Quebec City.

"The question is, does Luongo want to play in a town where Gretzky, Messier, Weight, Guerin, Arnott, Nylander and Pronger all said no to?… my guess is Edmonton gets turned down again"

You think the Canucks would pony up $34.5 million to acquire Coturier and a 1st?

They would chose the nut job over the face of the franchise?

Doan will want out at the deadline, he won't want to play wherever it is the Coyotes will be next year.

How about a menage a trois, Lu to Philly, Bryz to Phoenix and Doan to Vancouver

I think Rai would do well in Washington. He's never been given a real shot at making the team here.
