i would be actually rather happy if they stood pat and avoided doing anything stupid
jetison whatever vets you can, go with as much youth as possible and see what happens.
i personally dont see the big deal about the playoffs.. sure it would be nice.. but only if they made it there with guys who will be part of the mold moving forward.. i dont want veteran guys who will only be around 2-3 years tops.. that will do nothing but make them a middle of the pack playoff team who makes the 2nd round and perhaps scrapes their way into the 3rd round
thats just the same ol song and dance the leafs have always done. - Dozzer
oh no, im on your boat.. i wont be surprised nor mad if we dont make the playoffs next year, having another top 5 pick would be amazing when you look at next years draft
I just want something to happen in the NHL, not just the Leafs |

no way in hell should we be dumping a lottery pick. - Barx
While I dont think it will be lottery pick...it could be a top pick....which would too high to give up.
Unless he's got a deal for Lou too, than I wouldn't.

Seems odd 26 teams would be after a kid with no talent. - robin_steele264
I didn't say no talent... there are many different types and levels of talent. If he's a hard/smart worker, we'll see the talent he has over time.
He was hopefully a free assest(like a draft pick) as this signing could be pretty pointless in a year or three. That's part of the reason he was such a hot commodity. |

Im gonna ignore this.
Every team needs quality vets.....we dont have any, but I'm all for signing a quality vet to help these kids. - Fakepartofme
not exactly what i was saying
quality vets in supporting roles YES
vets taking up ALL OF THE spots from younger kids NO
a nice mix? YES ABSOLUTELY
my post was more about clogging the system up and less about mentorship
and yes, i do agree playoffs would be valuable.. the balance needs to be kept.. so long as there is room for younger guys to make an impact i am happy
so to summarize:
all vets = bad
yet all rookies = also bad |

I dont know about you guys...but listening to Luongos interview again...he sounds like he would almost rather go to Toronto...
"I would love to play in a hockey market, where the rink is full and rocking...and the fanbase is passionate about their team..."
followed by
"I would also enjoy playing in a place like Florida where you can sit and eat a meal in peace with your family...but as a player you want to be playing in a big market..."
- noename09
It doesn't really matter, though.
He'll go to where Gillis can get more. |

Theres no way Burke would give that up for one year of Getz...extension would surely have been discussed...and yes, Leafs need to do that all day. - noename09

getz i swear has been hurt or not playing 100% since he F'd that ankle up and then played all olympics.
getzlaf in his prime > grabovski, kule
getzlaf now...i dont think hes worth gbov, kule and a first round pick.
grabo and kulemin combined for what...60 goals 2 years ago...grabbo is the leafs offense at this point other than the kessel/lupul combo...who are we trying to kid? - big_dion
I also feel that Grabo is not at his peak yet. |

That'd be a pretty intense offseason: Getzlaf and Luongo. It won't happen, but if it did that'd be a pretty impressive and, yes, giving up a first in that case wouldn't be a huge deal. |

getzlaf who i like, id love him in Toronto.
grabovski isnt all that much worse, but is strong, healthy and probley my favorite player on the leafs right now.
toss in Kuli and a first? id (frank)in snap. - big_dion
If you are saying Grabs=Getz, then you got your Leaf goggles on...
Grabs highest point total was 58...Getzlaf's lowest was 57 (although it happened to be last year)...Getz is the big #1 centre we have needed/wanted since Sundin left...
With Getz, and some steady goaltending, the 1st rounder might be around 15 or so...
If you can get a signed Getz for those 2 and the 1st, you do it... |

Colborne, Bozak, Kulemin, 1st/2nd would be better, imo...would give the Ducks two centers, one of which could be a good 2nd line guy...and a solid pick.... |

Do you really think he's going to veto a trade to Toronto, in the hopes of going to Florida?
Or veto a trade to Chicago?
He'll veto a trade to Edmonton, Columbus and Long Island.
Gillis is driving this bus. |

not really...hes given his two choices, but its up to Gillis..he wont just move Luongo for less to Florida cause he likes it more than Toronto...he will take the best deal from whatever team offered the most. I doubt he even discusses the deals with Luongo, only asked him where he is willing to go. |

I heard Luongo was in a Luongo's today, and was spotted buying ketchup and mustard.
