How much credibility does Andrew Walker have?
No idea tbh. I wouldn't have posted it if he didn't work for The Fan. Its also a Fan affiliate from out west so all of that should be taken into account
How much credibility does Andrew Walker have?
something based around Stastny and Franson anyone?
I see this as the most likely scenario.

Here's the list of offer sheet compensation if teams sign RFAs today - another thing for Leafs fans to fret over http://twitpic.com/d0ygio

I'm sure there is a market for Franson, and the Leafs prospects depth is defense.
If the Leafs are on Scuderi, Leafs are fine moving Franson.
Don't trade Franson.. So damn stupid.
How so? They have completely different roles.
That's like saying we don't need an offensive C for our top line

Wow seriously? This off-season seems pretty horrible so far.
Why are we having difficulty signing Franson? He had a fantastic year, seemed like he finally started to enjoy Toronto.

Every one expects Leafs to be busy on the UFA front today,don't be surprised if they get new deals for RFAs McLaren,Colborne and Bernier.

Revisiting Scuderi tweet from earlier. Now hearing he's likely going back to Pittsburgh. 3-4 years has been discussed. Around $3 mil per.

Could be a good "sell high" moment.
He's never played top 4 minutes for any good stretch of games. He was a bottom pairing PP QB last season. Put up points, and had a good +/- because he was playing on the 3rd pairing against the oppositions weakest forwards.
We ARE weak at RHD, so thats an issue. But we have a ton of PMD. So id easily move him if his trade value is high. If he's locked up on a contract, it should represent the fact that he's been a bottom pairing defenceman for us. Especially as his offence will drop as Gardiner and Rielly take on larger roles.
Liles can fill his spot on the bottom pairing.
Scuderi-Phaneuf
Gardiner-Gunnarson
Holzer-Liles
