So what does everyone think it would cost to acquire both Schenns?

Dion, Kulemin and a conditional 1st if he doesn't resign would be a good start

We wouldn't be in possession of a legit no. 1 centre but we'd be young, deep and able to keep the cap situation under control.

Edit:

Dion, Gauthier or Biggs, Liles(all of him) and a 1st if Dion doesn't resign. Perhaps bury Meszaros or another salary to balance the books. I dunno, too lazy to check if the numbers fit.

I'm gonna guess you were drinking last night.....

he also wasnt actually thrown off the cliff

i am hoping the leafs promote from within truthfully.. lets see what we got while we have a bit of a cushion.. if it doesnt pan out in the next couple games then go the trade ufa route
- Dozzer

Agreed.

Probably malt liquor. Lots of it.

I wonder if Philly would be interested in trading LeCavalier...
- Feeling Glucky?

He's injured right not, that's not going to help us right now.

Nonis sign Wellwood, Nylander or Lindros yet??

I have no problem with this... give them 2 games this weekend... although tough to judge the player if they suck against boston... most do....
- jribout

Nobody close though.

Raymond JVR kessel
Lupul Kadri Clarkson
Kulimen McClement Leivo
McLaren smith Orr

Really not that bad. See how JVR does before throwing in a prospect who isn't ready.

Agreed.

I see Spencer Abbott coming up before McKegg. McKegg's all offense and hasn't really been lighting it up.

I still vote for Brad Boyes if we can get him for a 3rd or a mid prospect....
- jribout

don't think he play center does he?

Does Nonis make a trade by Friday? oui or non?
- shmenge

I hope so, just for fun.

Spott has McKegg playing a two way game and has drawn praise from the coach, he is the logical choice for a couple games. If they move JVR to centre then look for Leivo as a callup.

I think we can ride that for a bit, hopefull JVR can do well in that centre role, if he does than there's no point in making trades or anything

McKegg is not all offence. He's pretty solid 2 way actually, but hasn't been playing well all around.

yeah.. and after this weekend bozak is only a coule weeks off.. so.. if say some like mckegg can at least handle not (frank)ing things up then thats they way to go imo
- Dozzer

I am a little leary of the lack of clear info... earliest time back is Nov 21... if it went even 2 weeks longer that could be another 5-6 games....

I was thinkin Greg myself.

Kadri 1 / Mckegg 2 (shadowed by Lupul and Clarkson) / McClement 3 / and Smith 4

worth a shot imo

I still say it should be Kulimen. Russia put him as 2C over several top khl guys at the worlds a couple years go, and he was good.

Its a conspiracy. Leaf nation will beg for more Bozak.

hmm... I remember back in junior, he hadn't ever met his team's goalie. Good on Spott.

I think we will see both combinations in the Boston game.

jesus that would be cruel.. guy doesnt even have his legs back from the injury

- Feeling Glucky?

Pretty sure he was widely referred to as a 200 ft player by his own coach when drafted. His 2-way game has been lauded since day 1. Issue has been he hasn't brought the offence yet at AHL level.
, but his defence has always been good. Eakins was using him as shutdown line at times.

Abbott is leading in points for forwards with the Marlies but is a RW, but if they go with Kulemin or JVR at centre, I rather see Leivo called up, more of a physical game to him.

4 days of bag skating will take care of that
Kulis a horse, he can take it

Already played a few NHL games and did pretty well too, logical to call him up if that's the case.
