Good Lord, please tell me it won't be another Brad Richards "come in and show me something BIG that I will like" show.

Do you mean like LIKE him or like him, but just as a friend?
- GoneFullRetard

I mean LIKE I'd soap his back in the showe.... wait a minute

you'd think both would want to get things figured out ahead of time so they would know how much money they have in their wallets
- Barx

I agree with you......... they both need to have this settled by then for that reason. Also, Gillis needs to get Schneider signed before then to lock him up.

Word has it, that Schnedier won't sign anything till the Luongo matter is resolved. In other words, if Luongo isn't gone, then he won't sign a long term contract.

Yeah, I like Prust.
- Pecafan Fan

him and brown on either side, both with good speed and a reckless forecheck....

Nonis says #Leafs will be active in free agency, but as Burke said on weekend, probably looking at depth players more than anything else

I'm hearing he wants to announce his decision live on ESPN or some poop like that.

I'm thinking if Burke some how lands a couple of big UFA's (which I doubt he will) he puts taking on Luongo's salary on hold. Or at least he wants to see if he can improve his team elsewhere with just $$ and not assets.

naaaaaaaa........ its basically going to be between Leafs, nucks and oil for him. A matter of who is going to promise him the most playing time right away I think.

Sounds like a solid plan, considering that's pretty much all there is on the market...

don't think army is bumping kulemin or kadri this season......

Yep, I saw the awesomeness of how people called him out on that.

Leafs are trying to trade Lombardi, they want a Yakupov-like prospect back...therefor that's what they'll get.
- Juice

Yeah it is pretty stupid to think that Gillis would do anything other than what he has done...

He has the whole off season to deal with this. He might as well try to make a "hockey trade", hoping a few teams are really interested and will bid against each other.

Why would he start by coming out and saying "We'll take a salary dump and a 2nd rounder".

Ok we will not tell you that. We will let his agent tell you that

No

- faceto27

Oh I thought he was interviewing agents in T.O. on Tuesday and then fielding offers on Wednesday ...

...in my blue n white brain that read as meeting with Don Meehan on Tuesday to formalize our agr't (which has informally been in place for months) then grabbin' a bite with Burkie and Non'ers to formalize my Leaf contract (which has informally been in place for months).

dont we have enough of those?
- Dozzer

I will take a Prust or TooToo only if the dead weight is gone, I really want to see Kadri and Frattin full time this year first and foremost.

dont we have enough of those?
- Dozzer

Prust is the only guy of interest for me...

I'm hearing he wants to announce his decision live on ESPN or some poop like that.
- Pecafan Fan

appropriate and praiseworthy, as opposed to douchebaggish.

Shhhhh...don't tell buffalo, we're hoping they think guys like Moen and Parrenteau are worth 10 year contracts at 6mil a season.

aye carumba!

yeah, his agent will be meeting with teams tomorrow and fielding offers as soon as wednesday.
apparently he wants to be close to home or play with guys he's played with and play top 4 minutes.
NYR, Toronto, Edm, Van........
Leafs will have a shot though, and with the hole left by Schenn, he could step right into the line-up.
- Barx

Nonnis was meeting with Wade Arnott of Newport sports this past saturday at the draft. Newport sports represents Schultz. At the time I thought it was perhaps to discuss Tim Thomas who is also represented by Newport, but in fact it may have been to get a feel of how Schultz was thinking. Nonnis may have heard something he liked, and that may have triggered the JVR trade. Nonnis may have heard he was leaning Toronto's way.

Maybe........

naaaaaaaa........ its basically going to be between Leafs, nucks and oil for him. A matter of who is going to promise him the most playing time right away I think.

weather/town aside....Hed be crazy not to go to Edmonton with where that team will be in a few years.

Just switch Army with Kulemin .....and trade Mac and a bunch of other crap for that elusive #1 centre and I'm good.

Oh and grab that back up goalie outta Vancity too.

I think it is safe to say, don't put a Leaf player's name on the back of the jersey.
- LeafMan

Or you could do what I do, bought a '67 Jersey, with 19 on it and put Henderson on the back, making it a classic throwback Jersey. How can anyone dispute Paul Henderson, who should be in the Hockey Hall Of Fame, when wearing a Leafs Jersey?
