Maybe the leafs can try it?

Bettmans gotta take both Leafs and Sabres fans boos...

Id imagine Sabres fans wanted McDavid so they'll boo him for that

1. I hope Stamkos signs with the Leafs. I would love to see the Leafs competitive again and adding him and Matthews gets them there immediately.

2. The Leafs DO NOT need a goalie to grow with the core. They need a goalie who can be the backbone of the team and not have a puck go behind him every time the young team in front of him makes a mistake. Fleury, Bishop, Crawford and Varlomov will all be available. They need to go out and get one.

Varly forgot how to goalie...
Bishop is always hurt
Crawford I've never been overly impressed with, but might be an option.
Fleury... while I think he's a good choice, its not hard to turn this thread into a Fleury hatefest..


We need a Cujo or Belfour... not a Toskala or Giguere...

Agree with your thoughts on Stamkos - most Leaf fans are hoping it happens - I would think they will make a push for Andersen on the Ducks. Gibson is likely their guy moving forward and they don't want to lose Andersen for nothing - plus he is RFA - He is probably of more interest than Fleury, Bishop or Crawford.

I agree none of these would be most appropriate options for Leafs.. (Bishop too expensive I would think)

Best options IMO:

1/ Schneider (NJ going nowhere next 3-5 seasons)
2/ John Gibson
3/ Mrazek

If none of these guys can be had in a trade, try for Halak or Steve Mason.

late to the party today, but I cant BELIEVE that Caryle is an NHL coach again!!

how desperate can Anaheim be!?

- no timeout in game 7 meltdown - I wouldn't hire him to coach a little league team after that.

We won't pry Schneider out of NJ unless they trade a good prospect + picks..

Gibson is the guy in ANA..


Mrazek sucks.. lol.. Also Halak is garbage now and Mason is pretty weak..

Idk... its really hard to find a good goalie now..

There might be some fighting in the stands between Buffalo fans and Leaf fans. The sight of the sour look ( like he bit into a big piece of Shiit ) on Tim Murray's face after he did the epic tank job last year - trading goalies that had a pulse off the NHL roster - and he lost the pick

You guys could do a mini rebuild and be set for the next 5 years!

I love Malkin.. but I feel like he could do more.
