Trade Idea

To NYI:

Phil Kessel
Stuart Percy

To Tor:

Nino niederreiter
Ryan Strome

I think this would work for both teams, but Nonis would need ownership approval to trade our best player and tank this year. It would help us get closer to one of Jones, Drouin, or Mackinnon at the 2013 draft though.

NYI would have to add a 1st... proven player in Kessel for 2 unknowns, possibly ruined by the Islanders.

Hopefully Orr doesnt play tonight. Had a good tilt last game, but I don't think Pens have a heavy weight.

I understand changing things up...but Mac on the first line?

Whats with the love of this guy. Giving him an A already too...


Im getting a sick feeling in my stomach we over pay to keep him...Hopefully its just to raise his value, but giving him an A debunks that hope somewhat.

Carlyle on Grabovskly: “He has to play with more fire and his natural personality.” #Leafs #Pens


I agree. He looks slow and sluggish out there. Especially for a guy who played in the KHL during the lockout.

Touche. But I don't think he's an enforcer like Orr. Im not sure he goes out looking for fights. He can actually play the game.

RT @jonasTSN1050: Oddly enough, Grabovski has yet to register a shot in two games this season.

with as little ice time the 4th line gets, I think having Orr hitting some of the Pens Dmen on the forecheck is worth more than what steckle would bring to that line.

That really does not do much in way of an improvement, it may actually be a lot worse.

But wait I thought the inside Doug Maclean said that he knew Gretzky was interested...

This story is prime example of how (frank)ing stupid the Toronto hockey media is......

Steckel would bring another win in the faceoff dot on the 2nd PK unit.


Get can't hit the Pens Dmen if they skate by him..

Gretzky isn't interested because mckowan said? He's been all over the other rumours, so I wouldn't put much into what he says.

Mike Augello: Gretzky “Not Interested” In Leafs Job; Line Changes In Pittsburgh
- mikeinbuffalo


Outside of Jon Pohl, Gretzky was the greatest player of all time on the ice. However, he hasn't proved anything as management. Great face for the franchise, but not a big loss in a management role.

grabovski is 1 man, he cant do the work for macarthur and kulemin (who have done nothing at this point).

grabo is off to a slower start, but no pre season to play with mac/kule - even if they played KHL, its not the same, and your not with your wingers.

2 games in, im not that worried, with JVR and grabo together, we may see some magic.

You mean the same guy who claimed Luongo would be a Leaf as soon as the lockout ended?
