and I can't blame you. I'd take him any day on the Leafs.


But not for Rielly.

- Feeling Glucky?


I LOVE him as a player and I think any team would be lucky to have him. He is a huge fan favorite in Denver, but after the contract hold out most of us have just accepted that what ever happens happens.

Personally I dont really see any deal that I would like as either team here, I just dont think it is a good fit.

Also I question Nonis as a GM after resigning bozak and signing Clarkson to HUGE numbers, then Phaneuf (although that would have happened anyways) and now he wants RoR. I would be worried as leaf fans.

Rielly would be untouchable for you, I know. Plus If I had to see ROR go, I wouldnt want a player like Reilly, and what I mean about that is a young player with some growing pains regardless of how great he can be. I would rather have a more established young Dman instead, so we get the impact now instead of later

It would be a tough move, you would have to target a good Dman who just doesnt fit into a teams long term plans anymore, or have the assets to afford to loose a Top 4 guy to fix their Top 6.

Guys like Yandle, Bogosian, etc just to name example of the kind of players in those sitautions I would want to try and pry away (not saying thats the players I expect or want)

Odds are you'll get a good prospect and a high pick.

Thats why I dont think he gets moved. we wont get the impact Top 4 dman that we need and we will weaken our Top 6 at the same time. Doesnt make any sense to do all that while we are in the playoff hunt.

Its a tricky situation, The Avs really need to be on top of your Asset management if they do move him.

I'm just going around the pool of future RFA d-man... There is Justin Schultz, However he is probably awful considering the whole team sucks...

If ROR is going to the Leafs, then Sakic better fleece them cause they are in desperate times.

After last year I really thought Toronto was turning the corner to be a main stay in the East. What a drop. I guess that's what happens when you have Reimer who's been just fine...and you use your resources to purposely impose a goalie competition.

'Hawks in on E. Kane? He would be an EXCELLENT addition to Patrick Kane's second line, but the cost would hinder the organization. Aside for a lack of cap space, I don't see who the 'Hawks would be willing to part with outside of their "big six" (Toews, Kane, Sharp, Hossa, Keith, Seabrook) and I don't think they are ready to put Kane-lite (Teuvo) in a deal either.

Maybe the Jets want Oduya back?

That's not the issue... until the last couple of games goaltending's been fine.

Most of the team is mailing it in or injured.

Seriously dude I mean he plays about 25 minutes but still he looks like a lineman. He is strong yes but he could loose a little strength and just get faster and maybe be more effective haha

Why are the leafs trading for a center when they need defense ?
Why is Colorado trading ROR when he is playing so well there ? They should look at trading picks prospects etc for a quality d man ... Keep that forward group together
