Trade deadline is 13 days away, and for once, I don't know what I want the Leafs to do before it. First time since the lockout season, that the Leafs are in that position where player management mistakes could cost them.

Stay the course, trade JVR for a dman after the expansion draft in the offseason.

How about this as a template:

Hyman Matthews Kapanen
A. Johnson Nylander Marner
Grundstrom Kadri Leivo
Lipstick Brooks Brown

xxx Zaitsev
Rielly xxx
Dermott Nielsen

Draft D and C with this year's picks.

Trade JVR for Rielly's partner. Euthanase Gardiner.

Need a top pairing dman (easier said than done). Boom

Keep Gardiner. He's better than most #4's out there.

I can't stand him, but, if he's the worst dman we have, we'll be doing alright.

what's your thinking in trading jvr for a dman after the expansion draft?

I'm thinking dmen will be available before that draft...

Confirmed that the Leafs put Lupul, Horton and Robidas on LTIR early on this season and it wasn't reported. They have a lot of cap room.

If Ottawa loses tonight, we have a chance to overtake them on Saturday night.

Interesting, maybe they had a deal fall through earlier?

Svechnikov beat out Matthews and Eichel's 16/17 year old season in the USHL. Kid is picking up steam.

Can I load Kodi onto my Samsung tablet and just Chromecast it to my TV?

In other news, there are reports that Mirtle has gone missing.

Lamiorello has an airtight alibi - several other Leafs management types saw him so this disappearance couldn't possibly have anything to do with Lou.

i'm thinking teams like minny/nyi/ana are going to forced to move someone at a discount before the draft.

- walshyleafsfan

15 million. Got to save some for rookie bonuses? That could or should be 5 mill. So like 10 million

So what they looking at? 7 mil cap room?

They quietly placed Nathan Horton, Joffrey Lupul and Stephane Robidas on long-term injured reserve (LTIR) earlier this season — giving themselves the flexibility to operate more than $15-million above the $73-million cap for the remainder of the season

Bracco? Korshkov?

A.Johnson stinks. I'm over his hype
- poohcrumbs

Any mix of the following and i'll be happy:

Johnson
Bracco
Marner
Korshkov
Grundstrom
Brown
Kapanen
Leivo
Hyman
Leipsic
Timashov

We look decent on the wings.
