Won't need to keep salary
- Garnie

You will. Youre having a hard time with this aren't you?

Oh Stevie Y will definitely ass rape Nonis...no doubt on that
- Daddichronic

How about our first round pick and Steve Yzerman and Al Murray give you guys lesson on how to draft for Franson and a second round pick?

I think this is what you call "future considerations" .

But yeah, Tampa has loads of young guys on the farm that have enormous potential. Gudlevskis, Koekkoek, Connolly (with the parent organization), Erne, Namestnikov... the list goes on, and I'm not sure what Y is willing to part with at this point.

Why would they. Lots of 2nd pairing d men get 7 mill for the next 6+ yrs.

Would think Stevie offered are first round draft pick since we got the Rangers pick as well.

Bieksa (one yr left) for Connolly and 1st
- Bieksa#3

LOL bieska is injured and even if he wasnt you think the bolts would take his salary and give up a 1st and a decent prospect? typical nucks fans with their inflated asking prices.

He'll be back by deadline. And do u really think Bieksa is a salary dump

Gardiner nor Franson are going anywhere. The team is going to a semi rebuild and aren't trading them but Robidas Holzer and Phaneuf are available. Only players that aren't moving Imo are Kadri Jvr Reilly Bernier Gardiner Franson. I think Kessel will be traded to a team that's one piece away from taking the next step like Dallas Colorado Nashville and Florida. All the teams have the cap space and in Colorado case they have the centers to make the trade. [/img]

Eklund is the best in the business, he knows what he is doing. That's why I think it's a reference to the Devils. They must be the frontrunner to get Franson right now. Sounds like it will come down to the Lightning or the Devils as per Eklund.

He'll be back by deadline. And do u really think Bieksa is a salary dump
- Bieksa#3

As for Franson, he may go for nothing if Nonis doesn't give him what he asks for (UFA).

Gardiner... not the guy you build a blueline around.

Nobody wants Robidas or Holzer.

Phaneuf and Kessel aren't getting traded til' the offseason... too difficult to play with the long-term cap at this point.

But that was a Tampa proposal.

I'm sticking to my Kassian for Gardiner offer. One high potenial bust for another.
- Bieksa#3

Oh I know, I guess I did abad job explaining. Three way deal. Is what I was joking about.

Oh and, Lowe is not the gm.
- ghostofRC

Oh, and Burke is not the gm.

Why would they. Lots of 2nd pairing d men get 7 mill for the next 6+ yrs.
- Bieksa#3

Name 5 that would be worth anything of value in a trade. The kind of value the leafs badly need to rebuild this twisted wreckage.

Oh, and Burke is not the gm.
- MontanaMan

Better check again dimwit. I never said he was.

Bernier has the flu
- Bieksa#3

Bernard just doesn't want to be in net when the Leafs lose to the lowly Oilers.

Eklund is the best in the business, he knows what he is doing. That's why I think it's a reference to the Devils. They must be the frontrunner to get Franson right now. Sounds like it will come down to the Lightning or the Devils as per Eklund.
- woopstash

Shania? That you?



Ek don't impress me much.

Franson doesn't want to be in Toronto anymore. He wants out. So better to trade him now rather than pay the big price of losing him for nothing on July 1st.

Typical SOiler fan; lost to the world. But at least we finally found someone who defends the worst hockey management team in the NHL.

More butthurt? You get your facts wrong then try to call me out? Nice try.

Come back when you've got something.
