Well think of the different mind b4 the season started. Now even back than I said NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO to involving Kadri in a Lu deal. However with Reimer still uncertain, if b4 the season started, had Gillis been willing to take just Bozak for Lu, back than mabie I would have considered it, But everything has changed now. Bozak to me has become as essential part of this team & Reimer has solified himself as a #1. Even though many Leaf fans don't see Reimer as a true #1 which I disagree but I tell them this, he is playing like a #1 so he deserves to play & he will be the guy for them in the post season.

I don't see Bozak going anywhere. I would like to see the Leafs add a quality NHL defenceman, but so would 25 other teams. Prices are sky high (see Doug Murray).

Nope, but saw that. Duthie is a beauty.

Best hockey game Ive watched this year. Funny part is if it werent for Lu and a couple crossbars the score would have been 7 or 8-0. Dominance.

John Tavares will be the second line centre. Bergeron will be a winger, as will Richards and Staal, likely. Crosby-Tavares-Toews-Getzlaf.
- fifty__missions

youre probably right, i could definitely see centres like staal and stamkos playing as wingers. a top line of crosby, stamkos and perry would be unreal. if i was picking a roster and putting those guys as wingers this is what id like to see for the forward lines:

Perry - Crosby - Stamkos
Staal - Tavares - Giroux
Hall - Nuge - Eberle (if they develop as many expect them to )
Richards - Toews - Bergeron
Duchene/Staal 13th

No way Nuge makes that team. Hall would be marginal, Eberle a probable. I would expect Stamkos and Tavares on the same line, maybe even with Eberle, given their history together. Giroux is an interesting one. Pretty inconsistent this year.

+1 .....leafs shouldnt make any major moves at all.....dont mess with this team right now

AGREED. Even trading Bozak could fuk up the team chemistry right now. Believe it or not, Kadri is still developing. He's doing fantastic cause he doesn't have pressure on him due to the Leafs having Bozak & Grabbo at center If u trade Bozak & thrust Kadri to the #1 line, what if he's not ready right now? It's his first big season. Honestly, been watching hockey for 37 years, doesn't take much to fuk up team chemistry.

Nonis, please don't fuk with anything.

Kunitz and maybe even Neal will be in the discussion.
if Kunitz continues a 50-goal pace playing Crosby he's on that team.

P.K. has put himself right in the mix, I'll give the guy credit for that for sure. Carey Price? Yes, please.

Getzlaf over Nuge, for the time being.

Hopefully Kadri keeps this up. He might be in the running for a spot a few years from now. Long way to go though.

yeah PK is definitely looking like he'll have a role on that team.
Price will likely be one of the three goalies but right now it looks like there's no lock for the starting position. will likely be who has the hot hand next Christmas.

If I was Nonis, here's what I would do, don't tinker with the roster on Apr 3. Were not expected to win the cup this spring. Leave the team including keeping Bozak as it is & let it ride out this very successful season.

In the off season, I would re-sign Bozak & trade Grabbo.

Really? I see the job as Price's, case closed. As for P.K., I had my doubts, but I really think his high octane style is very valuable in a short tournament.

If you trade Grabo, you need another centre in return. On another note, Ryan Hamilton has looked much more comfortable in his second stint with the Leafers. The first time he got called up he had the deer-in-headlight look about him.

The only thing that I would find tempting would be a shut down D who can take some minutes against top lines off Dion.

Frattins been a disappointment lately. Same with JVR. These guys need to step it up. While it seems Kadri and Lupul are unstoppable, it's not fair to rely on two guys to save the day every game.

Kessels and Bozak have looked great together. Say what you will about Kessel, he is no longer a one dimensional player.

Been saying so many times that the Leafs should the leave the goalies as they are. Reimer has been great as a #1 & Scrivens has done well as his backup. I believe after last's night solid shutout vs the Sens, that should make it as clear as daylight to Nonis that Reimer is the #1 guy & he deserves to be the starter when the playoffs start.

AGREED. Remember how one dimensional Phil was when he 1st came to TO? He has truly evolved. He's become a GREAT passer. He backchecks, he can lay out hits. I truely hope he re-signs in TO.

Good idea but than who on the D sits? Do u send Gardiner down to the AHL for the rest of the season & risk seriously pissing him & his agent further to the point where Gardiner will want out of Toronto?

It's crazy to think that while Kessel's better than he's ever been right now, he might be the 3rd best forward on the team.


Lupul and Kadri are a toss up for best right now. Lupul's not just showing skill- guy's got so much hockey-smarts that he should get a phd. 13 points in 6 games - (frank)ing crazy.
