Its an Ian Esplen blog.

ok ok, i get it.

1. Why do you think we will get two years at best out of him? If he agrees to waive his NMC to come here, there is a good chance he will re-up at the end of his contract.
2. The presence of veteran leadership helps not only for the playoffs. The influence he would have on Kulemin, Frattin and even Lupul would be amazing. He would add more than just his 25 goals.
3. Just because a player is a veteran does not mean that they are incapable of helping the team in ways other than leadership. He is still a very valuable player in his own right.
4. It seems that because the leafs were horrible with young players and draft picks before the lockout that fans nowadays fan massively over compensate by being opposed to any player who is above 30. NEWSFLASH ... you need players like that around. No team wins without them.

In summary, the value Morrow would bring to this team outweighs the loss of a single prospect who is redundant on our team. Aulie does nothing Schenn or Komisarek don't already do better than he does and refusing to sacrifice him for the good of the team is as backwards as the pre lockout way of managing the team

to answer short and sweet...a team who is about to compete for the cup this year or next need a player like Morrow...not a team like the Leafs who are a couple years away yet. Morrow is 33 and wont likely play much past 35 given the way he plays, therefore by the time well need em, hell be too burnt.

On hold with Bell support. They're all "Sir, there's nothing wrong with your TV, that is the actual score of the Habs game." Nice try jerks!

Veteran leadership helps for more than just a cup run. He would make the players on our team significantly better, particularly Kulemin. So even if he is gone by the time we compete for a cup, his influence would still be felt.

If you acquire veterans just for the sake of leadership you have to get them cheap like Burke has been doing. Liles for a 2nd, Komi and Beauch as FAs, Lomardi as a dump... You dont get into bidding wars at the deadline with 15 teams.

I will give you that, and I wouldnt be against him on our team, Id love it. But not for youth. That makes zero sense.

We only have youth to trade.

Holzer and a pick?

But I'm betting Vancouver, Detroit, Pittsburgh, Boston would be willing to give up a lot more than that for him.
