Speculation: 2013 Leafs Trades, Proposals, and Free Agent Talk XX

[Smif]

Never heard of him...

Big mistake by the Hurricanes.

I don't know why GM's are so rushed to pay big bucks to RFA's who have had one good year.

Seguin, Skinner, Myers etc are all pretty lucky.

Seguin is going to make more than Kessel next year! That's a good joke.

Tavares, OEL, Getzlaf, Perry, etc. There are examples where the team made out like bandits as well.

It's a risk to sign an RFA with only one good season under their belt to a longterm deal. If they regress, you're paying way more than they deserve. But if they become franchise players, you're getting a steal.

And you all know my assistant Al Borland!!!

 

[Cor]

Who is Borland?

He's a winner. Would love him on the Leafs, replaces Komarov but he can put the puck in the net.

Do you mean Borat? Way funnier than Komorov.

Hahah damn auto correct.

[TOCap1]

He would be coming "home" but would he be much of an "improvement"

Would be fun to see. Kadri's favourite player growing up was Lecavalier.

good lets get uncle vinny on board

 

[LaPlante94]

He's actually a terrible character guy. Late for practice? Sleeps in? Parties all the time? Yep, pass.

Never heard of this. You got any links of anybody credible saying this?

 

[kilgore111]

If these rumours about Letang are near the truth, no thanks.

I really believe he is a product of Crosby and Malkin.

We need a shut down Dman. I think we got that offensive dman in Gardiner, don't you guys think?

Agree

That's a championship forward group right there

 

[FreeBird]

Don't hate on Seguin just cause when he plays Toronto he lights us up.(except in playoffs) If we didn't trade him for Kessel you guys would love him.

Both Seguin and Hamilton grew up Leafs fans and their dreams of playing for them were stripped away from them by BB. Now Kessel can walk next year while Tyler and Dougie are Bruin property for years to come.

Yeah I didn't like the trade then and still don't BUT I agree with those who say it is done, time to move on and NOT trade out of the first round anymore

Trade was fine who would have known rotten Ronnie would lead us to fail like he did

 

[nuck]

Yeah i'd love to have White back. Coming off a bad year so I think we'd be able to get him for pretty cheap.

Actually yes. If Liles is out and Whitey brings his A game (with stache) he would be a nice cheap replacement, and would keep Kostka from squeezing his way back in.

Not sure if Clarkson can keep up with Kadri's, Lupul's speed, otherwise that group looks very good on paper.

Hawks have Keith signed up and Toews etc. This is a winning strategy if you get it "right"

 

[Smif]

If Kadri should get about 3.75 for 3 years now, i'd go 4.25-4.5 for a few extra years.

Doesn't take much to get to the front of the net.

You make it sound like only the team has a say in where the player goes.

Bolland makes way to much for a 3C. No thank you.
