Hopefully Burke doesnt have the

Also of note...

Cody Franson has to be resigned. I guarantee he'll be looking at 2.5-3 a year.

Who else is leaving?

Unless you can somehow manage to free the team of Komisarek or Lombardi... at this point Liles and Grabo are the impending UFAs and both can't be resigned at market value and still have room to add/improve/upgrade the team.
- Brian Huddle

Those are certainly two possibilities. Couple that with assumption that Burke is going to make 1 or multiple trades between now and July 1st so I don't see it being a foregone conclusion that it's Liles or Grabovski.

I'm serious. He'll be getting a decent raise.

Even if it's 2-2.5 that's still a chunk of money up from his 800K right now.

That much? I bet Burke can get him at two years between 1.5 to 2.5.... That would put him RFA when the contract exopires, with one year to FA status right?

Speculation around #Leafs is John Michael Liles will sign a multi year cont' extension. He was set to become UFA in July.



SOLID move if true.

He was one guy who I would have been happy if they traded him at the deadline, because I think the return would have been good... on the other hand, if they re-sign him, I am happy also. Overall, he was playing well for us, and certainly our most consistent offensive threat from the blueline.

He is basically a big upgrade on Kaberle(at this stage of their careers).

He has to keep those cheeks rosy.

That and the opposition cramping his and McCabe's space on the blueline points so they couldn't work their one-dimensional magic...and the fact he wouldn't shoot the puck nearly often enough.....unfortunately the list kept getting longer
