THe contract cap has no bearing on signing on a goalie. The Leafs are at 47 and only need to add a goalie. If they add a goalie and Vesey they would be at 49.

There are many who could be bought out or possibly even claimed on waivers.

Likely some vets and/or young guys who can't all make the team moved out for late picks. Holland for example could be traded for a 4th or something just like Colborne was when we have no use for him.

At seasons end a slew of contracts come off the books. Despite bloggers occasionally claiming that the Leafs are in danger because of the 50 contracts, I assure you they are not.

And despite the fact that Bruniak is Bruins' version of Garth and usually just going with homer nonsense - this time Bruniak is right. Give him credit when he gets it right. Geez guys.

He may be 6'4" tall, but his arms extend outward to a total of 6'7". The average shoe size for a person the size of Phelps is 12; he wears a size 14 which gives him a 10% advantage over the competition. He also has a larger than average hand size which allows him to move more water.

Phelps undergoes anual tests for Marfan Syndrome, a disease that causes people to be born with unusual proportions.
So far he has tested negative, but he is absolutely a freak of nature.

Besides the long arms, short legs, huge hands and feet and extra wide sternum, he also has lungs with nearly twice the normal capacity for An adult male.

Dude was made to swim.

Nope, don't want to leave no room.

He's wrong, and deserves no credit.

Why would the Leafs add a defenceman. As it is we'll have to carry 8 to start the season or waive Carrick(nope, he's a keeper) or waive Corrado. We already have too many.
- Njuice



Waive Corrado and/or Marincin if either looks lost. Neither are claimed. Add better, veteran d-man. Profit. It is possible.

Why not? It leaves them with one open spot and many players are going to be moved out this season. Example, Leivo Carrick and Corrado have to make the team or be waived. Or traded.

Polak and Hunwick are only on this team to be traded. Any of these guys we can get a dime for will be traded.(likely none of them) Michalek, Laich, Greening, Lupul. Cowen buyout might still come through.

And if they are acquiring anybody it will be someone of value, which means at least a roster player and a prospect will be moved.

The only thing is they can't take on too many dead contracts to get picks and prospects, until the moves I talked about above happen.

Really, I must have missed those posts. Also, we'd still have one spot if we get Vesey and a goalie.. And those types of deals usually happen around deadline time when we'll have tons of open spots. It's not an issue. As the season goes you will see that I was right. I explained many reasons why. I'm done arguing because I am 100% right. I know Bruniak usually makes no sense, but today he is right.

They only have space later on if they move out players and don't take back players. You haven't explained anything, becuase what you're saying isn't true.

I appreciate your vigor, but you have no clue.
