Well if they watch the tape of Calgary / Vancouver then they'll target someone else.

regardless of your feelings towards the player- the argument still stands.

Leafs cleared contract spots so they could acquire some guys they felt might get them picks.

Different situation than giving away a pick/prospect to clear money.

Ottawa can do stuff right.

But their owner is too cheap to build upon what they do right.

Bingo. Even though they are in a better situation in the short term, their long term situation sucks and theirmedium term (5-8 years) situation is exactly the same as it is now. Bubble team with early exits

At this point PAP and Mathias are looking like the only ones they will be able to flip for a pick. Grabner, Boyes and Arco no to much.. but lots will change over the next 35-40 games.

they also have Spaling, Polak and Reimer as UFAs..lots of picks to come

Reimer's value may never be higher than it is now........ waiting until the Trade Deadline might be a mistake.

trading him now, when his value is at it's highest (Don Cherry) may also aid in tanking for the draft.

Lets see a top 10 offense ,a very good starting and backup tandem in nets .What could be the issue??Money or trade cant get us the player we need ,because nobody is moving a top 4 LHD with some skill .

MTL got what they needed to finish their top 4 when they got Petry.We havent found our guy yet that,s all .So we are using the only option left ,and that is to draft and develop what we need. And judging on how many homegrown guys we have on our roster i would say that is probably the best route to go

The question them becomes whether or not they see both of their current goaltenders, and part of the future team, that they believe will contend for the Cup. Now how far into the future that is, is anyone guess........but if Reimer is not part of that plan, then it becomes choosing the nest time to trade him for the assets they want.

So are the send cup contenders? Because if not, I fail to see how you will suddenly become great while anderson begins his descent and you continue to pick outside of the top 10 year after year with a crappy farm system...

Grabner's been great on the PK. His contract is up at the end of the season, so the Leafs can retain salary no problem on him.

Arco is nothing, obviously.

Boyes hasn't been bad, either. Good two way game.

Our system is crappy because our best kids are in the nhl
Next crop we have coming looks great though names like Chabot ,White are the highlites,as for being a contender i dont see it this season .But we will see if we make the playoffs anything could happen i suppose.

As for the spending money part ,what should Ottawa spend money on??We need a top 4 LHD with skill ,as a must .Do you know of anybody willing to trade one of those???Yeah me either ,so we will bide our time and look to improve in other areas .Rather than waste assets and cap on so/so players to fill the viod

Better to waste assets on getting rid of players, to save a buck.

I couldn't find White on this list.

I wonder if Chabot would have even ranked if they didn't have to include at least one prospect from each team.
