I know but the leafs should play Kadri next year how can we know what he's got when we play him one the third line and send him back to the marlies
- Kuleminator

If he's not willing to simply 'earn' a spot yet again out of camp then clearly he's not a good fit on this team.

With JVR & Ashton ready to push for spots, and Frattin having jumped in and earned himself a spot, he needs to start solidifying his spot on the depth chart

Backstrom wouldn't be available tho. Not sure why people think a championship team is built around Harding.
- Boosinicka


Yeah this is a contract year for Backsy. If Harding can beat him for a job by the trade deadline then he'll be up for hire

The way people are talking, Getz is already on the team. Its crazy what a summer of no hockey can do to some people.

I know but my point is I would not want to trade him until i know for sure he's busted and the only way to know that is to play him like Phoenix did with Turris

Maybe because he's a UFA next year and the ducks are a mess so they know he won't re-up

That's speculation man, big difference

So Malkin, Ovechkin etc can be included in this unknown list that it seems only you know about??

This is precisely why we leaf fans get pasted on the boards by everyone.

Almost anyone can be available at the right price. Getz can be had can see the ducks go in another direction after this season. He can also use a change of scenery
- meatball21

I'm sure he does need a change of scenery it happens to players but why the he'll are people inserting perry and getzlaf into our mock lineups, it crazy.

He'd score

Wait for it...

34 Goals.

Getzlaf doesn't make the line any better than it is, ust not as easily pushed around. Stastny would do much more for kessel's offensive game than Getzlaf. Getzlaf would look much better on a line with JVR and Frattin/MaCarther/Kulemin/etc. Which makes that line your Top Line. And Kessel/Lupul your second line.

That's what everyone is doing .... well except those who think the leafs have a great roster and that we don't need Getzlav or anyone else to Win Something one day

i'll prefer to see JVR-Getz-Kulemin( maybe he'll regain form !)
- Kuleminator


Yeah I've always been a big fan of Kuli's two way game, hustle, toughness(that's one asset that might push BB to move Mac) He has such a wicked shot and nose for the net. Last year was an off year. With JVR alone they could be great linemmates

2nd - Mac - Komi for Lu.

I'd even be willing to offer a first rounder on condition of performance, like if we make it to the 2nd round of the playoffs etc.
__________________

I'd still think BBs looking at Statsny over Getz. Until ANA gets rid of Ryan and knows the return then they'd maybe think of it.

The thing is, looking at the recent trade return for Derek Roy, and how comparable his point totals are to Stats'. So maybe he won't cost us anywhere near as much as we think

Depends on whether he even develops chemistry with Ryan.

We've tried putting him on a line Grabs and they don't gel
