Welcome to the reality of having actual good players.

How come we always have to try and get someone elses good players?

I can't decide who we NEED more. Luongo or Gagner. I'm a sucker for crappy salesman pitches.

Yeah exactly.

Not to mention, that I don't view Letang as a "franchise" guy. It is just too much money in a cap world. Whoever signs that contract regrets it.

... I don't think Pittsburgh should sign him either. If I am Pittsburgh I am worried about serious flaws on that team. You look at the talent they had up front and you realize that they not only lost, they were embarassed. That D and goaltending situation needs serious upgrades ... so signing the same main guy for like 7+ makes zero sense.

Like if the Leafs don't improve this year in their own end, you have to consider getting rid of Phaneuf.

Letang will not be moved to the leafs..c'mon people get with it.




Lecavalier is coming!!!!!!


- Fakepartofme


Imagine that. It would be awesome though, actually having a 1st line center that IS a 1st line center. Not Bozak's fault, but still.

YOu've gotta think, unless Lecav's decision is family orientated, he would love to play with Kessel and JVR?

Honestly, I'd rather get Ference for significantly less if we're able to. Offense wasn't really our problem last year. We made some huge strides in our PK but other than that our defense was our issue. Ference or someone like him would be helpful, IMO.

I still wouldn't mind Lecavalier either.

Sold. I contribute to so many charities due to blonde haired girls stopping me in town and asking for money. Then, how do you go to the bank and ask to cancel your direct deposit to the charity that are trying to find a cure for cancer, MS, AIDS etc.

the problem with your logic here is that is goes in the face of the egos of the GMs running the teams... who it seems overvalue their own players almost as much as the fans.

I'm sure the Pens would be willing to take back the following :

To Pittsburgh:
Two 1st Round Picks
One 2nd Round Pick

To Toronto:
Kris Letang

Leaf's fans, doesn't that sound like a great idea? What could go wrong?

- Sammy Van Hagar

Besides the media blowing the value of two firsts and a 2nd out of proportion? nothing. We won the last deal we swung like that. Got the best player by far out of that trade, and its not close.

I'll give you Gagner for Gardiner, Kessel, Bernier and 2 firsts
- Johannes19

We'll take Gagner for Gunnarsson and a 1st, and thats actually fair. Draft Nurse, and Sam Morin. Boom you guys are set.
