MacArthur+Franson for Clowe

Or at least we can hope so ... all defensive players and stats should get better with Randy in charge .. if not ..
- LeafsfaninBC

oh, so long as burke augments the forward core properly we will see a very different kind of D.. not as much flash, but far more dependable

I seriously doubt that Burke is in any danger of tampering charges.

Given his past relationship with Anaheim and the fact that they are good trading partners, it would not surprise me to see a trade involving one of our current D to Anaheim.

I doubt Anaheim takes Komisarek, but I could see the Leafs wanting to dump Liles.
- GoneFullRetard

I find it odd, given their relationship, that this is the approach they take. Going to the media and all.
But I guess it covers ANAs ass when they do trade his rights...

Stop talking in code.

Let's just both admit we both know we want Juice banned.
- IRON.MAIDEN

Juice is not needed now that I think about it,

J/k

Seems like the typical, dumbass Maple Leaf thing to do.
- Unholy_Goalie

UG what do you think of the trade all the Nuck fans are talking about? Schenn, Gardiner, and the 5th overall?

Top five pick for Stastny???
Absolutely no way in hell.
Have you seen that contract?
- Barx

he was a PPG player when he entered the league, has a ton of potential still, is stuck on team with no support on the wings, and he is only 26.

You're looking at the big, number 1C that we all are dreaming about. If you want a PPG player to play between Kessel and Lupul, you're going to need to trade the 5th overall pick.

But then again, a proven NHLer who puts up points consistently, or an unproven one? I take the sure thing

Lou....36 please.

Komisarek for the rights of Schultz and Parros.

ahem.. hello?

obviously its me

I'd love to have you banned for being right about the construction on Horton.

That's bullpoop.

Meh...I have my doubts Gilles and Burke would ever be able to do a deal.

LOL.. dont worry.. he'll have a good season again this year and those very same people will be singing his praises once again
- Dozzer

He'll be playing for the Canucks though (wishful thinking on my part)

will take dependable with instances of flash any day!!

They're suffering from cerebral necrosis.

Mac (Sturm) + Franson (Stuart) + Connolly (W Primeau) for Thornton

What has officially been said by Anaheim in the media.

I see the Leafs wanting to unload a D if they are signing Schultz. Anaheim helps them out, and they help Anaheim save face a little bit by not losing Schultz for "nothing".

As I said, this doesn't work if the deal is Komisarek (unless Anaheim wants him ), but Liles may be palatable.

sigh

Komisarek has a negative value.

- stormeyAlterEgo

That's only one of many reasons why it would never work out.

Burke said he wants a 4 year goalie. Luongo is a 10 year goalie.

Burke hates cap circumventing deals. Luongo has one.

Luongo, a complete head case in Vancouver who can't handle the pressure, would get destroyed in Toronto after the initial honey moon period is over. Why would he want to come here knowing full well that it would be the same nightmare except worse?

The only people a Luongo to Toronto deal makes sense to are Eklund, angry Canuck fans and Leafs fans desperately seeking 8th place. You can connect the dots.

question would be do the Ducks need a skilled D man or more of a solid stay at home type .. that would be the difference to what if anything gets sent the Ducks way

I know I think it is typical of Canucks fans BS.

They suggest that, and if it ever happened the ridicule towards the Leafs organization coming from those same fans would be endless.

It is only my undieing faith in humanity that keeps me Believing that Canucks fans can't all be moronic aholes... I hope

They've done us too many favors in the Gard/Lupul/Beauch deal..

Doubt they'd take Komi...

Maybe Holzer and a forward

Speak to me my little Frenchie.

He'll be playing for the Canucks though (wishful thinking on my part)
- LeftCoaster

sigh.. its sad that i cant actually rule that out for my own piece of mind yet
