And a few more. Most of these d-men will be available for a song.

none of those guys are on vlasic's level, but those are the guys i would target.

Isn't Doug Wilson in love with Kadri?? He could replace Patty Marleau; there is no way San Jose is resigning him.

Kadri for the pickle, done like dinner, we've agreed, no takebacks.

I wouldn't mind seeing Kadri in a Sharks uniform. Also, I could see Wilson doing a "Seth Jones for Ryan Johansen" type trade.

de Haan and Paul Martin would be great to round out your defense.

Well you don't have Seth Jones or Ryan Johansen, so you can't do that.

What you can do.... ahem..... have already done..... Is Kadri for Marc Edouard Vlasic.

How's your 13 year rebuild going?
Leaf fans critisizing other teams. Wow.
- flipneil

Yeah, suggesting a team's window has closed is really criticizing. I think you are being just a little too sensitive here because the idea of our 20 year for your 30 year old is (frank)ing ridiculous and you got called on your stupidity.

If you want something really ridiculous, it is teams that have never won the cup criticizing the Leafs.

Especially teams, like yours, that aren't likely to get another sniff until the next rebuild.

Who is your Seth Jones?

The reason Nashville and Columbus made that work was the ages.

Forget about San Jose, what do you guys want for Ellis?

Luongo for Kadri + 1st.

I'm saying that Vlasic may be the best shutdown dman in the league, but he's 30 and UFA in 2018-19. If I could get a 26-year-old Kadri (signed for 5 more years @ 4.5Mil) for him, I'd be pretty happy.

P.S. I wouldn't have traded Jones for Johansen.

Oh, I always assumed the team name below the posters name was the team they're a fan of, unless they lost a bet or something.

Hahah, I love that this guy thought he was being all clever and funny, but really just made a complete ass of himself.
- prock

clever and funny? where? I was being realistic....also prock you dont have to be a preds bandwagoner anymore you can root for your queefs again...unless youre just waiting until after this year bud

I wouldn't trade Burns for Ny+. How many D compare with the talent of Burns in the league right now? If you guessed 0, you'd be correct.
- WaterVsAnchor

Nylander is being heralded as the next Forsberg or Sundin, so you wouldn't trade Burns for Forsberg or Sundin???

SOO...........

Leafs trade Nylander who is 20 for a 31 year old who has 1 year left on his deal and will want Seabrook money ($6,875,000) on a long term deal at a time where the Leafs are no where close to being contenders????

Sharks focused on signing Martin Jones, Marc-Edouard Vlasic

Let me guess the leafs think they can get a top pairing D-man for overrated Kapanen.

They still think they can get Hannifin for Kapanen

They still think they can get Trouba for Kapanene

No, no one thinks that (that I've seen).

That would almost be as bad as those idiot Canucks fans thinking they were going to take home a windfall, because they, according to them, had 3 of the top 5 goalies in the NHL.

What was it? Kadri, prospect, and first (which was Nylander that year)?



You can find the dumbest of Leaf fans, and they still can't compete with what the majority of Canucks fans have spewed.

Classic simpleton argument

Its good to know you guys think Kapanene alone gets you a top pairing under 25 d-man or one of the best shut down d-man in the league.

I didn't deflect anything. I started by saying I've never seen anyone say that Kapanen is worth an under 25 top pairing dman.

If it was said, it's no more than 1 or 2 outliers in the crowd. If you think it's a pattern, shut your pie hole and prove it. Go quote a few people that have said it.

But you can't.

Yet, there was a significant portion of your own fanbase serving up all that other ripe stupidity. Along with other Canucks fan garbage, like "Frankie Corrado will be in the mix for 2018 Team Canada Olympic team", and "Cody Hodgson is the best prospect on the planet" and "Bo Horvat is a good first line centre".

Put up or shut your ugly trap. Quote a few posts.
