Del Zotto and Alzner come to mind but at what cost?.....have to keep the rookies' raises after their ELC's in mind....and why would they leave their respective teams?...I don't know what the Leafs will do.

My question was wide open - who would you be willing to sign and at what cost? You always overpay in FA.

Guys leave their clubs every year so I don't see that as an issue.

I would have missed a Wednesday playoff game (vs Ott) so from that perspective I'm happy the Leafs play Caps. And as I said yesterday or day before already, I like the Leafs chances vs the Caps.

Time for Komarov-Martin-Boyle to show their playoff game (I hope Martin steps up his game like he did in playoffs for NYI).

Let's hope Andersen, Zaitsev and Polak will be back on Thursday.

GO LEAFS GO

- MaximusAurelius

Obviously happy with Ott, but after looking at the schedule even more so

There's a 7pm game in Boston on Marathon Monday/Patriot's Day

11:30am Red Sox and Marathon and then a playoff hockey game. what a day that will be

Surely teams like Dallas, Colorado, Arizona, New Jersey, Florida, Vancouver could be open to trading a D for a Toronto FW - these teams will want to do something. If there's a fit between a (young) d-man they could offer to Toronto, and a FW going back from Toronto, that would be one option. I think in particular Florida and Dallas could be options there.

And then there's still Anaheim with the apparent need to trade at least one younger d-man to avoid losing him in expansion draft to LV. Leafs probably would have to send a player or combination of players/picks exempt from expansion draft eligibility though (e.g. Kapanen, Hyman, Bracco, Timashov, Soshnikov, Johnson, Lindberg, NIelsen, Dermott etc).

You have to imagine they overweight defense in their drafting and hopefully find some more stability on the back end. Polak has been great lately and without him the team would've been in a lot more trouble. Adding one more year to those tires would make me nervous. Nielson and Dermott are the two guys who may be up next year, correct? Any good defensive free agents you'd be willing to pay?

They are about to find out how good Shatty really is, and how much it will cost them.

Well, I saw and actually responded to Leafman saying he was done, but not sure how long / what he did. All his posts were deleted

I only saw the left wing elitist comments, all because some people here went to university.

The only way the Caps lose is if their depth falls apart and poops the bed like last year. Kuznetsov was playing like a drunk Andrei Kostitsyn. Chimera, Burakovsky, Winnik, Wilson and Richards were all poop. Johansson had one point in the entire Pens series. This year their depth looks even better, but it only counts if they show up.

So the only way the Caps lose is if their entire deep lineup starts playing like crap.

Any news on Andersen before I post in how many games the Caps should win this?

Step 1 - make GM/coaching change
Step 2 - get decimated by injuries
Step 3 - ...Undo step 1...?
Step 4 - profit
