What do you think the leafs next move will be? Phaneuf, Bozak, and Joffrey Lupul are the big names that are rumoured to be traded in this offseason. If these players were to be traded, what would the Leafs get in return?
Phaneuf isn't moving from what ive heard because Babcock likes him. Leafs haven't even received an offer on Lupul Bozak. Due to the low price on forwards maybe the Leafs could go after Skinner and hope he returns to form(30/30). We could trade our 2nd since it will likely be top 5 + Finn + another good asset. People would say there is no use because we are in a rebuild but it would speed it up if we buy players while there value is low and let it rise in Toronto like Raymond, Santorelli and Winnik. Maybe since gm's are smartning up Franson isnt going to get 6x6 and maybe get 4.5x4/5. Hes a good leader and I would consider that. Also give Santorelli a 2x2 deal.
Van Riemsdyk - Skinner - Lupul
Booth - Kadri - Santorelli
Holland - Bozak - Arcobello/Panik
Komarov - Spaling - Winnik
Gardiner - Phaneuf
Reilly - Franson
Hunwick/Marincin/Robidas - Polak
Bernier
Reimer
It would still be a bottom feeder. Sorry I wasnt sure if Skinner is a center or a winger. I heard rumours that Nonis was interested in getting him to be the 1C in the lockout year.

I really don't see Lupul being traded. But that's cool, I like him. Hopefully he can stay relatively healthy this year.
Bozak won't get a good return at all I don't think. He's basically a third line centre...maybe a "get you by" kind of second line centre. I know I wouldn't give up much unless I were a team in dire need of him, but his cap hit is probably a bit much for those teams to absorb. I would think a 2nd would get it done.
Dion probably stays, I feel like Babcock is eyeing him as Kronwall 2.0. Plus we'd have to retain, at least we would if we trade him now, and that's not a good call for the team.
I really do think JVR could be gone.
I have a feeling Paajarvi ends up a Leaf ,he fits the mold of young fast player Shanahan would like and he comes cheap.
Magnus Pajarvi Svenson?
I really hope we move these guys before the season starts and don't 'Babcock' our way out of the top 10 in the coming draft.
It's too soon to be picking in the teens again like the old Leafs 'rebuilds'...
I don't think the Leafs should keep Lupul if they can get something for him. He's old and even when he was healthy last season, he still only put up 21 points in 55 games.
Yes just a gut feeling. He was never given a proper chance With the Blues with their depth he is not a bad hockey player got rushed in Edmonton and he still can end up being a good player his speed is elite and I can see Leafs picking him up. Remember this player was just traded a couple seasons ago for Perron.Magnus Pajarvi Svenson?
As for Franson, he's not even remotely considering coming back, and why would he? He was dicked around here for some time and finally got his wish of being traded away from this trainwreck. Why would he want to come back?
because he wants to?
per, Franson himself - he wanted to be a Maple Leaf since he was a kid, he understood why he was traded, he loved his time here, and that he hoped on July 1st Toronto would give him an offer. He was never shy about wanting to stay here.

We need to keep some players, we can't get rid of ALL the vets and have a very young and inexperienced team. If we get rid of everyone, we will be the next Oilers and be bottom feeders for a decade.
Do you think keeping these guys makes any difference?
4th. worst team in the league with Kessel.
Do you believe they can be better without him?
