Got another question for LEAF fans.

Ott or Clutterbuck?
Your honest opinion.
Who you be a better fit for us...who would you rather have? (If possible)

Clutterbuck, but he would cost too much... frankly, I'd rather not overpay for either

Burke is smart for free agency, he learned through his mistakes with armdog and komi and connolly and is not going to make another stupid signing for big money. He is 100% correct that most of these players are a load of crap for free agency and that the only thing he can possibly do is make an offer to guys like suter or a parise. Other then that i like the resignings of some of our players but the Mcclement i didnt really see the point of.. probably a good PK guy but would get 4th line minutes surely nothing special, though carlyle seemed to like this guy so maybe fits his system better.

I think Ott isn't an option anymore...now that we got McClement (not saying he's better than Ott, cause he isn't), but it wouldn't work...unless Ott can play wing too

Really hope we get Chris Stewart. He's a real beaut.

My original wish list for this summer was chris stewart, one of bernier or luongo, and Justin Schultz.... but if we acquire chris stewart and like a bernier i would be happy with that.

Gotta agree with you! Those 2 would be a great upgrade.
Someone said it here I think...if we have 4 solid top 6 wingers (Kessel, JVR, Stewart, Lupul/MacA/Kulemin (if any of the 3 are involved in the deal for CS) ...I'd be fine with Bozak/Grabo as our 1 & 2 C

Stewart would be on second line. More like:


Kessel Bozak Lupul

Stewart Grabo JVR

Frattin ______ Kadri

Mcclement Steckel Brown


Gunner Phaneuf

Gardiner Franson

Liles Blacker/Holzer

Ex: Komi


Bernier
Reimer
Scrivens

I and my masters degree in chemistry, coupled with future PhD respectfully disagree :-P

Note: I see that you say usually..... I see your probability theory experience at work

Yeah, well my e-peen makes Mandingo look like a light switch.

Either is good. I just put Stewart with Kessel so Phil could have a big forward by his side to help him out against bigger guys (Lucic) ..but your one could work also, no doubt.

*EDIT* also, I'd put Colborne with Kadri/Frattin

Burke is right though, free agency is a joke, players dont wanna come here unless we have a good playoff team ready which we dont so you can cross off guys like parise or suter to toronto and players are signed to huge uneccessary contracts that are an embarrassment. Guys like the matt carles, jokinens, hudlers are going to be making in the range of 4-5 million surely which would be stupid for the leafs to spend on when we have too many defenders, jokinen is old, hudler is not worth it, etc. Would love to take a run at jagr but he would never come here

This whole "bobby Ryan doesn't get along with Carlyle" is probably overblown. I would hope Burke makes a strong push for Ryan and he becomes our top line center. Carlyle has experimented with Ryan at center before and says his game is better suited for it.

You have a point. No Komisarek or Connolly's at least.
