If you put a gun to my head and made me choose, and I could only pick one player with my 1st round pick... I take Faksa, no questions asked.

Oops, 1 year younger than me. Still, even Eakins has been saying he's ready to make the jump. What do you think Huddle? Can the Leafs make space for him?

Way too hard to, at this place. Komi can't move, Liles just got signed. Schenn/Phaneuf/Gardiner are building blocks. Gunnar is the best LD we have to stabilize Dion.

Franny will be moved, and a team who can properly utilize him, unlike Wilson, will get a steal.

I think Komi could be moved or bought out.

I pray that they agree on a CBA and that it includes a bad contract out, or they move him for ex. Komi + something valuable for a goalie like Luongo

Bad contract for bad contract, MAYBE. He can't be waived, and he has a NTC where he can pick 10 teams not to go to.

His money drops this season so he's not making 4.5, he's just got that as a cap hit. I think he makes 3 next year.

3.5mil.

You just make it clear. Either you take a trade to where we have a deal in place or you can follow Jeff Finger's foot steps.

They can't. He has NMC, so he can't be sent to AHL, or waived.

Shave the beard and lose the earings and he's all yours. On second thought it is playoff time. Keep the beard.

practically, the only way Komi heads out of town is in some type of CAP dump flip-flop...

i) Luongo would be good example, Komisarek and some prospect or similar. (Not that I want Luongo, but kind of a worse of two evils). If there's another goalie CAP dump situation then perhaps the same type of deal could be struck.


ii) Franson should be packaged with a prospect forward to any one of the Islanders, Edmonton, perhaps Calgary or Carolina, where he could flourish. Now I have no idea what could be garned in return... but particularly if Schultz is signed they need to make space.... or simply keep Franson and ship Schenn out if the club feels they can do without the physical aspect of the game. I fear the Schenn deal however, because the moment he goes somewhere where he's going to get consistent minutes without Komi hanging around he'll thrive.

BB definitely has some work to do.... I'm quietly hoping for a day like the day the Phaneuf and Giguere deals were announced. I was speechless that day... I liked the Phaneuf deal... but was absolutely over the moon when I realized what the Leafs "gave up" to get Giguere.... still can't believe that one... and I'm secretly hoping for the same type of deal for Luongo.

Earings? Maybe that's why they started asking about boyfriends... that and there was this creepy guy tailing him through the whole event. People just assumed they were an item.

Edit: My mistake, disregard this.
