What's the risk? A team with tons of cap space. If booth is hurt the insurance pays, if he's healthy you get a top 6 forward. Say the islanders for example. Booth for a 5th rounder. Still him with Tavaras

Booth with tavares could be a 70 pt player. I think I could rock 50 on JT wing and i dont even own skates.

Exactly. Like I said, last yr of his contract, you get him for peanuts. Low risk high reward deal.

Yea and ok, so we've discovered where Booth will play, where do you see Lu getting traded? because Gillis has already said that the management won't allow him to buy him out...so please tell me how that can work junior?

I think Gunnersson is pretty important. The rest of the leafs d are awful in their end. Bozak was the biggy. Either keep Bozak and forget Bolland or vesa versa.
- Bieksa#3

I can see Bolland being traded to a contender at the deadline for more than what the Leafs gave up. Just a hunch. Basing it off nothing in particular.

Senior. Respect your elders. Not unless you are 70 then
Anyways maybe MG made a deal with ownership to give Lu 1 more year and see how he does. If he plays terrible than we trade him and let a young goalie have a try. I know it may sound nuts, but torts has a good defensive system as shown with nyr.

His cap hit would be around 900K (I believe) at the deadline and he is widely considered one of the better 3rd line shutdown centers in the league. May get us a first? Not sure.

So if Luongo gets traded for a 2nd and a back up like scrivens (not him specifically any longer) you'd feel ok going with a tandem of lack and scrivens? Torts would have to have superman on defense for them to stand a chance of winning...

He averaged around 8 min a game in the play offs I believe. Since his concussion, he's not the same player he was is the belief

POssible at the deadline GM's do stupid things. Nashville offered a 1st for grabovski in 2011. Burke wishes he could have that back.

I think that is a myth. Legend has told of a healthy Booth but only the Gods of the animal kingdom have seen such a creature.

I was preaching this a month ago. There'd be a bunch of teams that would take Booth. I still think he's more valuable to us keeping. Who would we spend the extra cap money on at this point?
