Montreal has no delusions, as they traded one of their hottest players for a pick.

They're tied with us.

Addition by subtraction?

It has worked for teams in the past.

Point taken, but I have never considered Marc Bergevin as someone my team should model itself after. The odds of any move that guy makes being the wrong one are higher than most.

I can't see Vegas moving either of those guys in the middle of a playoff run.

I really can't see Florida moving Trocheck either, but there is more smoke around that among "legitimate" media types, that there has to be a fire somewhere.

I expect only one move today - Rodrigues for a 5th round pick and we take some of his salary back. But I want to see our bumbling idiot GM make a move for a top six forward today. I just know I'll be disappointed by 3...

Very good point. Unfortunately i think Botts is paralyzed and won't make any trades because of the 2% chance we can make the playoffs. He should be dumping all of our UFA's and EROD. This is called good asset management. Looking forward to the presser at 3 pm local time explaining why he didn't make any moves.

Namestnikov to Colorado for a 4th


Market rate for sheary, vesey, etc. I still don’t think it’s worth it

Sure. But Jason Botterill's better?

Despite his faults, I'm certain (as he's mentioned) he focuses on the long term vision of his team, and isn't taking little 5 game samples as to where his team is at, as far as competing for the playoffs and cup. He can't simply trade away guys or add guys simply based on 'well, we're almost in the playoffs!'

I would say, though, I think it'd be foolish to trade some UFAs for the sake of trading them, for a couple 3rd and 4th round picks. Some folks think, just give a team like 3 thirds for a first!

no.

Those picks will be used to bring in more Sheary's and Vesey's. I suspect this is why Jason really hasn't moved. There haven't really been any core shaking trades this year. Rentals for picks has really been the name of the game. And based on the UFAs on this team, I honestly fail to see how shedding them will truly help us.

*exception being fantasy gerbe island where we package Vesey, Sheary and a 3rd for Trocheck, then Risto for Huberdeau.

I'm expecting nothing, and if anything happens it will a bonus.

Any type of selling is 4th rd or later. Need JB to take a shot here on Vinny T.

Backlund, Lebanc, Bonino and Strome are interesting names to monitor. Tough to determine if he’d go after Domi after the Scandella debacle

Funny show, was watching the Soup Nazi episode last night. FUNNY poop

Looking back it was really a perfect show I think. You could pick up at any point and not miss out and there are some really funny episodes.

Strome is who I heard some stuff, Domi could be a decent piece.

I rather make a “fake run” with the current roster than sell of players for 4th round picks

Sens are doing a nice job today. They have 3 first round picks this year. That is nuts

Sharks and sens can win the lottery too. Imagine they go 1 and 2 overall

I have changed my stance, I want Botts to buy at the deadline. Only reason is the outside chance(2% or whatever) that we sneak into the playoffs and Toronto doesn’t make it.

That’s all I got as a hockey fan in this city, is to hope for more misfortune for the Leafs and their fans.
