Is despres future in the NHL a forgone conclusion? People come back from concussions. He was amazing before he got injured. Swinging this deal for bozac would be ideal. Would rather see jvr and polar traded to the caps for orpik (cap dump), bowey and Wilson

Murray said something about despres' health being the most important thing when they put him on LTIR. I hope the best for him, but that didn’t sound good. Not worth the risk of trading for imo.

I would hope jvr nets more than bowey (unproven but good prospect) and Wilson (4th liner) – without taking back orprik’s abomination of a contract.

So the talk about Rychel being the target for LV out of the Leafs DID come before the season. I guess the "experts" assumed he would be in the lineup.

Looking around at predictions:

Bozak
Leivo (eligible?)
Carrick
Martin
Komarov

Too many scenarios and this feels like a waste of time that I am already wasting. Either way there really isn't anyone that could be lost that any of us should care aboot.

Leafs will leave junk exposed..

Well then should have looked into that more

"The Despres situation is one that is a very sensitive issue and it’s one that my whole goal hopefully is make it that Simon at the end of all this lives a happy, healthy, normal life," Murray said, according to ESPN’s Pierre LeBrun. "It’s going to take some time before we get to that point. Really, it’s all I want to say at this time on that because it is sensitive and I feel real bad for Simon."

Fine in the search for a vegas exempt righty montour is the way to go.

Jvr %50 retained for stoner, Manson and montour

I agree.

Well it will be warm when they do, so no frost bite.

He's the pride of some arena in Toronto. Seriously, when you call said arena they tell you that. Learned this on the Fan 590. I think he's like a NHL version of Tyler Biggs.

dumb this down for me?

JvR(4.3M) + Leipsic(0.7M) + Marincin(1.3)

Fowler(4M) + Manson(0.8M) + Stoner(3.5M)

balance with picks...

Yeah, still don't see Anaheim moving that many d.

Lou wants sustainability. Doesn't sound like a guy when I've heard him this week on the radio even close to going all in for the playoffs.
- mykokes

He wont go all in. No one is saying that.
I just dont think, he will dump depth for futures that cannot help this or next year.

- mykokes

yup... it depends on how amazeballs they believe their other prospects are... and how much they feel they need
an offensive boost this year with a view to the expansion draft...

Same style of player.

Who says Rasmus Anderson or Oliver Kyllington can't help next year? Example: Carrick's doing just fine right now.

JvR(4.3M) + Leipsic(0.7M) + Marincin(1.3)

Fowler(4M) + Manson(0.8M) + Stoner(3.5M)

Anaheim will be making a run....I doubt they trade fowler now...let alone that many D.

I could see LA trading a D for affordable Forward help.

- mykokes

Meh...Carrick has filled a spot....not that great.

Maybe Kyllington could step in and bump Carrick down.

If they can step in and help this year...than ya I could see a move like that. I just dont believe it will be for futures.

IMO

Id trade Koma.
