You went from someone who I thought was going to talk about the subject to simply being a troll. That's unfortunate.

They are a very good team that took steps last year to improve and will do so again this year. Are these two concepts too difficult to hold at the same time?

Maybe he's out of practice talking hockey, he was conspicuously absent during the regular season. Probably just didn't have any thoughts on hockey until now.

Leafs can't afford him as he'll want 6.5m on his next contract.
- dmnted


So what you are saying is Dubas will sign him for 7.25M.

Rielly, Brodie, Muzzin and Gio are a solid top-4 grouping - you add in Sandin and Liljegren and that's not bad at all. If they resign Boosh that's pretty solid depth. As speculated, if Subban wanted to come here on a cheap deal - I still don't know if he's even worth it. I haven't noticed him in years and I've heard lots of people talking about how awful he is now, so I really have no informed opinion - but I'd have to assume that as a lower pairing right side option, he has to be a better option than Holl was.

Good. I'll send the fax to Zito.

Wonder how he'll convince his brass that giving away 3 first rounders was a cool idea.

Great thing about being a Leaf poster on here is that there are no days off.
Just as busy as Dubas is in the summer

oh well yes, if you ship out Kerfoot Holl and Mrazek sure.
you still need a top4 dman though

- fidopro


Also doesnt have to be solved right away or in the off season.
Will be other options come trade deadline, just like how they traded for Gio and Lub.

between these players, they can ice a solid D and cruise to the playoffs

if a nice upgrade presents itself, then you go for it

Can we trade Willie for assets and sign Naz Ufa?

Play Naz at C and JT at LW like everyone is saying.

We are a better team immediately.

Problem is - Dubas would never do it. You all know why.

I love Naz but his upcoming contract is going to be risky. Also I like Willy.

Willie has a ton of talent. No doubting that. But it is strange that the 2nd line can never get on an extended roll.

Coach has tried lots of combinations for sure.

You like everyone.

So ... you wouldn't do it?

I *know* Dubas won't, even though we are immediately stronger.

I don't think he'll get poop for the Giroux one, but Chiarot was Foligno levels of bleh.
