Not sure what the point of trading is when there are great UFAs to be had. Looks like Datsyuk, Pronger, and Thornton are all available. If we could get one of two of those guys we would be in excellent shape.

Those guys would be too expensive. We can sign Robidas to a multi year deal to shore up our back end.
I doubt JVR signs for less than 6, so moving him would be ideal, even if it means moving into the top 5 at the draft by combining our 1st rounder.
Bozak should probably stay as he's a really underrated centreman and an ideal 3rd liner.
Since we aren't getting any help through UFAs I'd like to see a good trade made. hell even getting the likes of Kevin Bieksa for a year would be a nice stop-gap and allow us some depth at the blueline.

I think the Leafs have moved past the tanking stage..better to pass on players who should no longer be in the NHL

What's wrong with Gauthier again?

To bad he's soft as yogurt and no not really suited for a third line. Should be big tough grinders on the third line.
