And where are you going to get one? E.Staal already said no he does not want to leave. Majority of the teams wont give up their top centers or the centers they want to get rid of will cost you something and are 35+. The only available center is O'Rielly which is still someone I want the leafs to acquire. 23 turning 24. Perfect fit. Plus expend some guys, get a leader in Mike Richards in the mix up (no cost) and we will be fine. Unless we start drafting centers, that would be the only way. I am not saying grab Mike Richards because i think this guy will significantly turn this team around. I am saying getting him because he is a leader, he will be a better option that bozak for kessel, lots of guys will be traded for assets or young players. The team will still TANK even if we get him and we will still have plenty of cap space left to sign bernier, kadri and have lots left over.

there's 2 trains of thought these days. The retool vs the rebuild. Obviously you are of the retool mode then? because a full rebuild would not include richards, that much is for sure.

this may be a stupid question cuz i havent followed wrestling since the 5th grade but. does the hulk still wrestle and if so does he still (frank) his friends wife?

who? sheahan? no

Sorry, yes we want Sheahan and a 2nd

Yes, that was me.

Funny thing is, I would of done all of that and said all that. Eric staal would be amazing to acquire even for our first but now its looking to good so maybe 2016. Wendel clark was on average a 40-50 pt guy. And Mike Richards free is well free. Make the room for him and acquire while obtaining assets for the guys we are expending

It's weird. I don't think he's a troll, he's just 100% opposite to what the Leafs should actually do. Last season and this season, he's come up with some mental proposals. Pulls guys out from left field. I believe he wanted us to get Bogosian and giving up a lot in return.

Some whacky ideas for sure.

IF he is a troll he's doing a hell of a job and we are all falling for it hook line and sinker.

Dear lord i remember that. Nonis must have been running the show with Bischoff

It's a fair deal if Detroit dosnt want to give up that they won't get that good right handed shot they want. Be happy with the depth defensmen they can get for a low price

uhhhh

clark scored 30+ 3 x and 46 in 60 something games. Oh and he would hit, fight, block shots, basically all the key ingredients to win. so i don't know what to make of that.

I have no comment on the staal/richards thing, as i want to blow this sh*t up so we'd be wasting our breath as you still have hope (which is your right).

Such a loveable set of guys.

I'd trade 80% of the roster If I could afford the liquor for the other GMs
