with philly signing lecav, giroux #1, lecav #2, schenn #3, does tha make couterier expendable? i wonder what the cost would be

One of B.Schenn or Coots will be traded for a young dman of similar value...Reilly, Edler, Yandle come to mind...

The more I think about it the more I just want them to play Kadri on the first line. Both he and Kessel have upped their defensive game. A good summer in the gym and I think he might be ready to take the next step. Gotta be better on the draw but you can fix that!
- steve362

Is Kadri going to do the Gary Robert training program this summer?

Not at all, actually.
- gravyface

Komisarek is soooo soft

Assets: Keeps the game simple on most nights and has exemplary team skills. Blocks shots and is most effective in penalty-killing situations. Can shut forwards down.
Flaws: Doesn't own ideal puck-moving skills for the blueline position and has limited talent, overall. Struggles when handling the puck, especially when he plays on the right side.
Career Potential: Savvy veteran defensive defenseman.

Any guesses on who this is? This is who we need!

Scuderi?

- dmnted

I've heard he is!

What if the Leafs are thinking:

JVR Kadri Kessel
Lupul Bolland Clarkson/Clowe
Carter/D'Amigo Colborne Kulemin
McLaren McClement Orr

Is that an improvement? A playoff team again? A step back?
- gravyface

Way back, I'd like to run that lineup in two years and get McJesus.

grabo is (frank)ing pissed about the buyout....

Okay, so now that we have everyone's dream scenarios out there, what would we all consider to be a disaster of a free agency day?
- Leeman4Gilmour

Missing Clarkson.

Signing Weiss.

with philly signing lecav, giroux #1, lecav #2, schenn #3, does tha make couterier expendable? i wonder what the cost would be
- matt1337

That was the talk, but who knows. Would cost us a fair bit I'd think, maybe a Gardiner.

Scuderi?

What do we have for him Johnny?

WHAT WOULD PHILLY WANT FROM THE LEAFS FOR COOTS??????????????????

Reilly...

Ding Ding Ding

What do we have for him Johnny?
- steve362

I gotta say, this is kind of a fun game.

Scuderi, Hainsey, and Ference are the only three names on D really being tossed around, so it was a lucky guess.

Reilly...
- Flyfreaky

never!

Assets: Has excellent mobility, size and reach. Can play on either side of the ice. Displays some offensive ability. Is capable of logging a ton of minutes, if required.
Flaws: Is far too soft for his big frame. Can go through rough stretches in all elements of the game over the course of the season. Is also somewhat brittle and inconsistent.
Career Potential: Inconsistent all-round defenseman

Mike Komisarek anyone?
- steve362

Uhhh

Well, you just shot yourself in the foot. Komisarek was quite physical in Montreal, and in Toronto for his first years. Mike just... idk, I feel Wilson ruined him. He had so much going for him. Look at Beauch, got traded, was a stud again with the right coach in the right role. He was a top pairing Defenseman, and it's a damn shame he still isn't here. But Lupul and Gardiner came from that, so it's not quite that bad.

...anyways, Hainsey is a more physical Gunnerson whose used to playing 20+ minutes a night and doesn't seem to get slowed up by lack of endurance. Sure, he won't just throw hits like Schenn did, but he'll take the body when appropriate. And he'd match Phaneuf well. Or Gardiner, pending on the roster situation.

Reilly...
- Flyfreaky

Rielly for Couturier... would Leafers do it?

Way back, I'd like to run that lineup in two years and get McJesus.
- Leafland

How much far off is that with what we rolled with this year?

Better on the wing, I'd say a wash up the middle, better in net, a wash on defense... that got us within a whiff of the second round.

- matt1337

Freaky seems to think Dion would be enough.

Rielly for Couturier... would Leafers do it?
- Leeman4Gilmour

Why not...Both nice young talent...

I would trade Gardiner straight up for Corturier, I'd even add something.

That was the talk, but who knows. Would cost us a fair bit I'd think, maybe a Gardiner.
- gravyface

very fair deal IMO if both Holmey & NoniZ agreed to it. I doubt it Chances are that either Holmey or NoniZ would think they deserve more.

Lucic ruined Komi

I think we'd rather have Reilly...

- Flyfreaky

I'd guess Philly would have to sweeten the deal a bit, or consider B.Schenn.
