I wouldn't want you guys to have Raymond, you've suffered enough over the last 8 years.

It's ok Cliff....Jeff Finger, Kurt Sauer....anyone could have made that mistake ....heck, they almost rhyme .........

Listen here young man, I had a few drinks and the damn "big wigs" said to sign a big named player and gave me an allowance. I am still far more credible in this league than you will ever be. Ok?

Wait aren't you the GM that wants to give Armstrong 10-15 more games?
- Leafland

Only one problem with that, Burke cant take another risk.You guys need to make the playoff no matter what,i love hating you in the playoff, now its not even funny anymore.We are not talking about some random franchise here,original six.

Try being a fan of that team.

Honestly, in these playoffs I've found myself less interested then recent years. I'm just sick of picking a random team to cheer for because the Leafs are out. I'm sick of hearing about other teams dramatics during the playoffs...as dumb as many Toronto fans can be, they deserve to be in the playoffs and enjoy the drama that comes along with it.

Hockey, the NHL and the playoffs are just better when Toronto/Montreal is in there.

That will be Brad Ross, just wait and see or don't, your choice.

Feel like I've been doing that for the past 8 years.

I get to the point, no BS. Don't care about Lolongo to discuss it.
- LeafMan

You dont think Toronto needs a legit starter of Luongos ilk, at the potential price he can be obtained for given the circumstance?

Raymond for Lombo?
- mfreedman

No. I'd do Raymond for Franson though.

Franson still has a high ceiling here imo, won't be traded

I really don't care, there are so many waste of space contracts that need to be addressed first.

you would have to include some scooby snacks

Ok, but Luongo aside, would you not say adding a goaltender is atop the priority list?

I find it hard to believe both teams agree on his price.

- noename09

If the goal is to make the playoffs yes...if the goal is to go for Broke on another Draft pick... Go with Reimer/Scrivens

we could end up with a decent showing from that duo...or play for another lottery pick... I am OK with either senario as long as I know whats happening.

But if he goes with Legit #1 and thats not working by the deadline...please this time sell any and all assets for picks

A goaltender imp but until some of the mess(bad contracts) is cleaned up and the leafs find a top line center/ D- help and toughness i'm not convinced Jesus could stop the puck in a leaf net..

Trading for Lou and that nightmare of a contract could backfire in a hurry...

Some positives for me, about these "waste of space contracts"....


Komisarek - two years left, could garner interest if plays half decent(hard I know). His salary drops to 3.5 for these last two years, could look better.

Connolly - one year left, actually played more games last year than I thought he would and could still be fine as a 3rd line center for one more year. No biggie.

Lombardi - although hell never be moved, he also only has one year left.

Armstrong - also one year left, but I honestly think he can regain his form is he can stay healthy and has a good summer. Playing under Carlyle, whos system could be more effective for Armstrong, could also help.





So all things considered...we dont have any long contracts that are worrisome for me.
