to Toronto:

M. Lucic

to Boston:

Gardiner + Kadri + Leivo
- MaximusAurelius

yes dont address the problem of always being in your own end...just get more tough players to push people around while you are there 65% of the game

Go leafs!

For the record I'd prefer spending on a Niskanen or Ehrhoff or even Quincey.

I'm just saying that 3.9 isn't really a poopty contract for Gorges nowadays.

sorry folks Kulimen is as good as gone Malkin wants him to play the wing with him in Pitt he is done in Toronto even though he was our best 2 way player on the team for the last few years. Moving Clarkson in the trade for Gorges may come back to bite us in the ass he will be much better this year guaranteed. Id send Lupal to the habs and Franson for Gorges and Prust if possible. then sign Erhoff to be Phaneufs partner at 3-3.5 million, snag Komarov at 1.5-2 for 2-3 year deal. Bolland needs to be signed but not at top line money for a 3rd line center. D'amigo , komarov and Prust would be a very good 4th line.

You honestly, in your heart of hearts think Christian Erhoff will settle for 3-3.5 mil in FA.?

There is a very negative vibe here this morning.
- BetterCallSaul

I hear pissing sounds

OMG not Gorges, puleez! My buddy, who is a Habs fan, and I, watched the Montreal run this spring............and I can't tell you how many times I heard him curse out Gorges! Franson has potential and a big point shot, we need to keep him or do better than Dion Light at twice the salary.

As much as I like Georges, He's being singled out because we need to make some space back there for the kids coming in (Tinordi Beaulieu). Now that they've signed general Custer (Markov), I don't see where Georges fits in any more.

Toronto would be getting one of the very good stay-at-home D in the league. He blocks more shots than Price on some nights.

don't shoot the messenger
- MaximusAurelius

At this point I'm shooting everyone

sign Mitchell, more old guys could be the missing piece
- shmenge

We only have 1, maybe two solid defensive dmen. (maybe 2 if Gleason doesn't get bought out)

5+ would be my guess.

Clayton Stoner is my choice

gaudy shot blocking numbers make Carlyle giddy.
- The Law

What's funny is (when) Carlyle gets fired and they bring someone else with a different coaching system, they have to overturn the roster again to compensate for the new coach, it's a never ending cycle.

They want 'grittier, better' defencemen yet when you have defencemen that can hold on to the puck and do something with it, you actually have to defend less.

Yup. Building to outdated Ideals

I'd like to see a few more goals from him and his big point shot.

5+ would be my guess.
- The Law

me too. 5 or 6

5+ would be my guess.

Stay between 4-4.5

+ Toronto will go after Moulson, will miss out on hime and will sign Cammalleri for 5y per 5.75m.
- MaximusAurelius

I'll take either...

Nonis is smart he knows what they need...U are just Burn from down in grape country...

Oh god i have to stop...

Grape country. nice.

Living in the past.

so, do we go with 6 Morgan Rielly's?

LA, the current Stanley CUp champs had Greene and Mitchell on their back end. Not exactly what i would call slick, puck moving dmen
- walshyleafsfan

start with firing the coach.

I'm kinda chuckling at the notion of sending Lupul the other way, I guess people here forget about secondary scoring or that Lupul is deadly on shootouts and you will need those points.

You better hope the 1st line never has a slump all year. Imo, bad swap of players suggestion.

Do you think LA, Chicago, NYR, or Boston have any big grity defensemen?

Gorges apparently nixed the trade.

I wouldn't be too worried if I'm a Leafs fan.
