Scary good? Looks like a playoff bubble team to me. (waits for "coming from a Leaf fan???" response). But really, getting new players doesn't mean you're automatically good.

WTF, that would be terrible, I'm sure if the coyotes and glendale get all screwed up the nhl would move the team to quebec. They also would most likely make back what theyve lost in PHX in 1 season with quebec.
- wolfos412

Bettman doesnt fancy Quebec City.

But I agree move them instead of folding them.

Is there one star player in this league that hasn't "almost" been or "is about to" be traded to the Leafs? Makes me sick...

Their top two lines look wicked....but with two 40-year-olds on there, burnout and/or injury have to be a little bit of a concern.
- Phenom

thats very true b ut if they can play all year dam they'll be a good team. Also really like getting eakin ive seen this kid live a couple times this kids a player.

Unless Ducks know that next year when he is a UFA he's gonna split and ask for big $$$ so trade him now before all the speculation begins about going to the team he really wants.

Leafs could have a Colborne/McClement/Kulemin third line next year. Much cheaper than your $7M third line and just as big.

It's prob Thornton ....just dont see Getz or Perry going anywhere...that would be foolish for Ducks...Ryan will be traded before they do
- JIMI-JAMES


One of those guys will be traded this year. With the way that franchise is going and guys bailing ship they would be dumb not trade at least one and probably 2 of Ryan, Getz and Perry

I could see Marleau being moved to make space for Nash before Thornton. I'd swap Lupul for Marleau and continue to pursue Stastny.

Good call! Lets start comparing our roster to the team that just won the cup. This can only end well!

It's inevitable these guys already won their cup time to bring in the new wave of talent led by Fowler and Etem

That's crazy talk......I don't want Marleau or his $6.9 million salary. He probably wouldn't waive to come here anyway.

I find it hard to believe Getzlaf will be moved unless the return is rather significant with respect to center prospects. They really have no one coming up to replace Getzlaf or take over in the mean time...dosnt really scream "Deal with the Leafs" to me...maybe another team with better prospective depth at center?
- noename09


They have to trade him. Guys are bailing from that franchise and they need to restock. Sign Perry to one of those cap circumventing deals til the end of time now and trade Ryan and Getz and just completely restock the farm and add quality depth players.

In no way am I saying he will be traded to the Leafs, just what I believe Murray has to do for the good of the franchise.
