Ha ha ha....A buffalo fan, whose city hasn't won anything in forever coming to the defense of the leafs....you should go back to the pot/booze...ur gonna need it the rest of your life.

The Leafs always claim they're IN on every FA out there or that they can trade for anyone. And they're not shy about making public proclamations as such. Their fans believe Burke can somehow magically trade a box of donuts for ANY player in the league and that every player WANTS to play for that franchise. It's arrogant and that's what I was making fun of. (STILL waiting for Burke to trade for Tavares, as leaf fans so confidently predicted- like it was a law of physics)

The Islanders may be a lot of things but they/we are not arrogant in any way comparable to the Leafs. (who haven't won anything in almost 50 years????) We've sucked for a while and don't act so surprised when we're picking TOP 5 again. I believe the word here is humility, a word that does not exist in the Leafs' vocabulary.

So you are gonna give up virtually nothing from the current roster, beyond contracts you don't want (ie: Komi, Lombardi, Connoly) and yet still manage to trade for Nash and Luongo.

Oh. And keep a crap D too.

LOL.

I hope you speak French, Hans could use you as GM.

Lol, you guys act like you have to apologize for trade, free agent, and roster speculation. Have you been so cowed by non Leaf fans out there that your balls have receeded to your navels.

This is a hockey rumour site, report them, spread them, make them up, assemble rosters you'd like to see and post them. If Shabbie or Cannot fans gets their panties in a jumble over it they can go (frank) themselves.

We're Leaf fans, never apologize for that.

Nash is very good, but also over rated, esp for his contract value. I'd take Neal at 5mil over Nash at 7.8 any deal...point is, I think the Leafs would hurt themselves in the long-term by getting Nash without having a true top center -- he'll be the 60-65pt guy that he's been in CLB otherwise.

As for Parise...good luck. Dude isn't coming to Toronto...lol. If the Leafs can pull off the Nash deal and retain their top pick, move up a few spots to get one of the two russian centers, then MAYBE that's a way forward. Alternatively, trade for some other guy who could work well with Nash...Otherwise, you're just going in circles...

Sooo many problems with this...to point out one...*If* Parise signs away from NJ it'll be for MUCH more than 6mil...at least 7.0-8, he likes NJ and Toronto isn't his favorite option otherwise.

He's going to make a minimum of 7 million.

Maybe he takes a slight haircut to go to a cup contender?

Will somebody please tell the Toronto fans that doesn't include them?

5th overall 2012, 1st rounder 2013, 2nd rounder 2013, Reimer, MacArthur, Kulemin, Blacker, Ashton, Brenner, Percy, D'Amigo, Rynnas, Komisarek, Connolly, Armstrong, Lombardi. More than enough to make those two trades.

Oh. And keep a crap D too.

Nothing wrong behind our blueline that a number one goalie won't cure, or at least one that hasn't had his head nearly severed by a cheapshot.

I hope you speak French, Hans could use you as GM.

Lou could fix that problem in a second if he puts pen to paper before July 1st.

Based on his history, that will probably be what happens, he's a persuasive guy.

dude,... did a Leafs fan steal your girl or something? Not all Leafs fans are arrogant, any more than all people that live on Long Island are greaseball wanna-bee's. There are some in both group but no need to sling mud at all Leafs fans.
