there is nothing they could do that would of put them on par with the penguins or the bruins at this point anyways so why bother?

just run with what you got and see how they do in the post season
- Dozzer

OMG Dozzer, We should just trade Kadri & Gardiner for any top C, how do you not see this???

What would make it the best?
- Flyfreaky

More movement.

notice i still say IF

lol

i refuse to believe in it 100% until its actually guaranteed
- Dozzer

I wont believe until they drop the puck in the first game of the playoffs.....even then I still may question the reality of it.

we know your cup is always half full, at best.

Ben Bishop to Tampa Bay?

I thought the Lightning were getting Luongo?

Why?

If there are no suitable deals, would you prefer overpaying for something that might improve our team?
- A_Tree

I agree.
If nothing is out there then do nothing. No sense in getting some 5-6 defenseman like MTL.

Keep our picks and roll with what we got!

Bishop to Tampa Bay.

- Flyfreaky

That's awesome...hah. My daughter sticks these eyeballs all over the house on photos, pictures, the cat etc. Makes me laugh everytime I find one.

Bishop to Tampa Bay.
- ThePresident

Awesome! I think we still play them one more time this year.

I probably wouldn't even drink for that game. I'd want to remember the first Leaf playoff game in eight years.

Yzerman has no idea what he's doing...most disorganized franchise.

LOL @ Esplen's blog. He lists targets as "Carlson, Green, Campbell, Kulikov, Boyle, Gudbranson, Schenn, and Coburn to be possibilities."

And, the players he's willing to trade?

Luongo
Jensen
Schroeder
Raymond
Booth
Ballard


I actually wonder if all of those players combined would be able to land one of the players he lists as targets. Likely not, as half of them are salary dumps.

So, I'm at St Louis Wings and Ribs chomping on Hotter than hell wings with a cold pint of Keith's, wondering "where is Colorado Avalanche?" Why are they not selling? Nonis, work the phones!!!

Congratulations.

You just became one of Ek's sources.

I'd quite like to see the slow rebuild we've been asking for for 8 years or so. A bit of patience us fans have been pleading for may actually be happening. It's nuts.
- walshyleafsfan

Well if its a slow rebuild you want....than Mac and Bozak should have been traded for picks or a prospect.

Congratulations.

The only glaring need right now is a first or second string defense man. I'm sure in a shortened season there isn't many teams falling over their heels to make a trade, and if there was a possibility - the cost is likely much greater than the reward.

Oh no I'll still drink

Ben Bishop to Tampa Bay?

- Atomic Wedgie

Hmmm, seems like a lot of those reported potential destinations are looking elsewhere.

Every player on that roster not named Stamkos should be available.

Vinny is worthless thanks to his contract, but St. Louis needs to go.

Oh no I'll still drink

I know, who am I kidding!

It could only ever be half full.

I take the blame for the Yandle to Pens post Ek posted. I said " Ek, Pens really have a handle of.....". Next thing you know...

Bishop is a good piece for Tbay, i dont get why thats so bad?

EDIT: NEVER MIND - LOL - Conacher they gave up, thats SO DUMB!!!!!!

Man, twitter is definitely useful for up to the minute trade transactions, no need to keep refreshing tsn or hockey buzz @BryanKRowland

Dear god.

Calgary fans in Colin's thread are comparing Kipper to RNH.
