That actually makes sense as they don't really have a number one center. What would be coming back though?

I still think it will be a Canadian team if its anyone.

Montreal for Briere is probably the best we can hope for.

They can dust off Beliveau's #4 for him.

Remember at last year's draft. Homer and Mactavish we're going back and forth trying to cut a deal. I wouldn't be surprised to see him cut at least one deal with the Oilers ,as they need defence help more than we do.

The Buffalo GM is open to any deal. I would like to see Myers but it would take more than B Schenn... Hopefully not much more but they need help up front. And of course one of the teams that needs the most help up front is the Preds.
Josi would be nice!!!

Leafs need a big shutdown C, not a -16 finesse guy.

I still think you go after Niskanen before you trade away B Schenn

i really want to shore up that number one and two. Niskanen/Myers in my opinion would be a strong one and two. I value what that combo could bring over brayden.

If the flyers could pull that off we would be cup contenders. Would need to move both schenns vinny and grossmann to make the cap numbers work though.

Schenn Schenn for Myers, vinny to wherever he wants to go for a bag of pucks. Gross for a 3rd or fourth.

If healthy, Lecavalier is exactly what the Leafs need. If he is healthy, Bozak and Kadri, aren't the players that Lecavalier is, at center.

The Leafs definitely need size up the middle as Bozak and Kadri are their top 2,but the media here would eat Vinny alive.

THey would only eat him alive after he struggled. He would be their savior up until the season starts though.
