Right now? Getzlaf is in a different league.

So I guess Toronto would be willing to part with more to acquire a player like Getzlaf.

In the middle of Toronto's game? Happened last night, but I doubt that's too common.

They would have to be willing. At the very least something like Schenn, Kadri, and a 1st. Getzlaf is having a down year, but he is an elite player in this league.

So how much stock does JvR have around the league? You would have to figure a young power forward with 30+ scoring potential can land you something good.

He definitely has stock - and could land a player like Schenn by himself; but he's nowhere near Getzlaf in terms of trading value.

I personally love Getzlaf. He is a great player in this league.

That tends to happen when the horse being beaten shows no further signs of life.

Nothing's going to happen while the Leafs are playing.

What are your thoughts on Luke Schenn, I'm having trouble comparing him to someone else at this stage in his career.

He's a young defenseman so I guarantee if he came here he'd have his ups and downs and be scapegoat of the month on and off for many future months.

This undrafted stud JT Brown for Minnesota Duluth pushed his stock even higher, just got a hat trick.

Got get him homer.

Not EVERY one. Never Eric Desjardins or Kimo Timmonen. I'm sure others have escaped the wrath.

Kvetching to be exacerbated by upward trend of JVR's development over the next few years.

read it on the internet. Trying to track it down

Track it down. Hard to believe that a player would comment on wanting to play for another team in the middle of the Season.
