Neither Thornton nor Spezza should be considered at all.

I would hope Dubas does better than that.

I hope they take the best player available. It's hard to get a read on it, seems like there is 100different options available on who will be available.

I think it'll be interesting

Honestly, so many options available for the leafs at 25. I hope it's a skilled center with potential, or right defense. Can't wait for Friday.

Source : Tanev is in play for sure. The Maple Leafs still have interest. Offers for Tanev not great but could improve this weekend. #Canucks

I know a lot of you don't like him because he is a Canuck. But IF, and that's an if...the leafs can get him for a reasonable price. You play him softer during the regular season and ramp it up for playoffs. He'd be a fantastic guy for the playoffs.

It all depends on the cost. When he's healthy, he's a decent defender, but it depends what they demand in return.

Not cause he's a canuck, because of durability and the nonsensical demands.

I don't think there is a single person on here who that simply said no to him.

Yes, and that obviously brings down the price. Like I said, deal has to be fair.

But there are ways around it. The Leafs are in a position where playoffs are very likely...run Hainsey into the ground and give Tanev a lighter work load...if he's healthy for playoffs that's all I care about.

Agreed. All depends on the cost. Tanev would be a good pickup. If it costs a 2nd rd pick and Brown, I'd be ok with it.
