Really has nothing to do with ability to move him.

For a team who is struggling financially it makes it impossible for them to take the financial risk

If the Leafs trade a 1st for Luongo it is almost gauranteed that he will get hurt and miss the season, and Van picks McKinnon, which would cause mass suicide in Toronto.

What about going with Reimer this year to see what he's made of and if he fail i'll try my luck signing Backstrom from the Wild next year without giving any asset
- Kuleminator

Reimers problem is this.... He has a junior B glove hand. It took the shooters 30 or so games to figure it out but as soon as they did they lit him up like a Xmas tree

So he's the Russian guy they signed. Okay then.

He's not Russian, but yeah. He played over in Russia last few years.

Lol i'm sure Burke has learn something from his past i don't think he'll trade any first rounder not top 5 protected and he won't trade any first rounder for Luongo since we're the only team that need him

Tampa : Already acquire one
Florida : Markstrom
Chicago : Really think he's going to make chicago stronger ?

Um, yeah which is why NASH traded him to begin with.

If he's that bad we'll get Mc Kinnon then no problem with that

And next year we got Connolly Lombardi Mac Bozak Steckel Lupul Off the book

Lot of cap space to sign player like Perry Backstrom

I still stand by Macarthur Komisarek and a 2nd for Luongo

Im pretty sure BB wont pay that though, apparently he got 1st round pick offers for mac last year...

Um, yeah which is why NASH traded him to begin with.

We did get Franson for that dumb contract if only we could play him

Um, yeah which is why NASH traded him to begin with.

Exactly... He is Marlie bound

This uninsurable thing is a bit out of hand. People who are bring it up don't even know what they are talking about. They keep saying he's uninsurable..... well yeah because you can only insure the contract when it's signed. Nashville didn't insure it ($$ problems, took a risk to save money) and it backfired. Saying he's uninsurable is rather misleading. Anyone can be insured, it's just at what cost. This particular contract isn't insured (Not that he's not insurable). Big difference.

I wouldn't be so sure.

Kadri, Frattin, Colborne should all be with the big club replacing, Lombo, Connoly, and Crabb. Honestly unless Burke gets us a top line center, we are going to miss the playoffs. So might as well let the kids develop with the big club, and we get a chance at Mackinnon or Seth Jones!!!

Burn,

Due to his previous concussion the insurance company won't insure his contract

RIGHT ON!!!!!!

Congrats!! I wish that I could cut her off altogether! She is annoying. She means well, but! 98% of the folks here, don't give a damn about College Hockey.

- Allstarzz

You are right.

But....

1. Edmonton did exactly that.... stood by their picks and now look poised for the next ten years.

2. Lou will get 10 - 15 more pointrs in close games in a season. That may be all you need to get into the top 8.

98% is being kind.

And imagine.... they are using Twitter. Who knew this interweb thingie would take off! SCREW the DRAFT, SCREW TRADES....maybe they have email now too... now THAT is an exciting article.

The funny thing is is that Julie is biting off the hand that feeds her. Twitter will soon make sites like this as valuable as todayès newspaper.

A number 1 center wasn't keeping this team out of the playoffs last year.

Grabovski, colborne, percy for Getzlaf.
Either sign Shane Doan or trade Mac and whatever for some "snarl" to play on the second line.

Lupul getzlaf Kessel
Jvr Kadri Doan
Kulemin mcclement frattin
Brown steckel Komarov
- PootieTang

If the Leafs could sign Doan I would poop myself. Not a player I would rather see on this team than him.
