If ever there was a year to tank, this is it. Pretty sure Pens fans forgot when they picked up Lemieux, and to a lesser extent, Crosby. To get a player like that, its worth it. Not like leafs have been winning anyways.

I would think that the questions regarding Stall are 2 fold ...

Cap Room .... pretty sure that can be arranged somehow ...
Does he want to go to Toronto ... Who wants to play for a team that doesn't make the playoffs , he could stay in Carolina and do the same ...

I have zero idea why Leafs fans and writers talk about every big name coming to Toronto yet none ever do , cant you guys get a clue

nobody should pretend to know what any player wants

maybe he'd like to play a lil closer to home

also.. cali isnt all its cracked up to be.. i remember my cousin and Andy both telling me on separate occasions that when they played in anaheim they hated living there.. too tight.. way too many people, expensive as hell.

I'm not pretending to know what either of them want. I'm questioning why they would want to come here. Also I think Joe can afford to live in SJ.

No way they trade Kadri and Gardiner for a declining, 30 year old, injured guy with a bad back.

If they do then Non is a liar, because he has said 20 times he won't do that kind of deal.

In all reality, there is not a chance in hell that Joe Thornton would want to end his career in Toronto. For all the crap he takes in SJ, they've got a chance to compete for the Cup; he's 35 years old…maybe his next contract.

Exactly. Which is why I want Staal. He is only 30. He isn't injury prone. Missed a handful of games his entite career. He isn't on the decline, Carolina just sucks. Staal with Kessel would be amazing.

People fail to realize you have to give to get. Then they have the nerve to complain about Bozak being our #1C. But if we give up Gardiner, Kadri or whatever, they complain it's too much. Like I said. You have to give to get.

Staal and Yandle would give the Leafs a shot to win the conference

same as any major cities really. Easy to find a place to your liking when you have the money. Sutter coaches la and lives by the beach in a small quiet community.

family probably plays a big part for guys like Joe. Picking up and moving your kids to a new country when you don't have to is unlikely.

I'm not sure Eric would want to leave his brother. No one is taking Jordan with that contract.

I'm pretty sure his post didn't mention Montreal, not even once.

Habs also have troubles attracting UFA's, even if has gotten a little better lately.... we somehow managed to attract Sekac... something that would have been impossible in the very close past.
