Tuesday Morning Quick Hits

As an optimistic leaf fan and not a GM of an nhl franchise im going to say what i would do without any though to it.

Trade Kaberle,Stefonavich to Boston for Phil Kessel
Trade Jason Blake,Mike Van Ryn 4th round pick to Dallas for Brad Richards
Pray Kovalchuck is a UFA and make a run at him.

Kovalchuck Richards Kessel
(sniper) (playmaker) (sniper)
= STANLEY CUP 2011

just another note, Thomas Kaberle is better then ANY defencemn thats an unrestriced free agent in next year frenzy. If kaberle has a good year his value is through the roof and our price would be abstrumental at the deadline and next summer with 1 year remaining at just 4.25 million.

for a second there i thought you were referring to me

to dal: blake, pogge
to tor; richards
.
to van: kaberle, stajan
to tor: hodgson + 1st + kesler
.
sign kesler to an offerr sheet
or
to bos; white +1st + stempniak
to tor: kessel

@ryan a your an idiot… kovalchuck isnt going to sign because of kulemin just cuz there russian doesnt mean there buddys last time i checked it was the biggest country in the world. dallas isnt taking jason blake van ryn and a 4th round for one of there best forwards and if they want a salary dump why would they take blake back they’d want prospects or entry level contracts you idiot… maybe you should think before you write no one wants to here your stupid trade thoughts.. at least try to make them fair.. go write on hockeybuzz if you want to talk with ppl with retarded opinions

Hey guys, is there really need to be getting into insulting one another? Everyone is entitled to an opinion, why are we running people down for it? Obviously everyone on here wants the best possible deal for the Leafs and we can hope for and we’re shooting for the stars…that’s a great thing. A lot of it wont happnen, but who cares? It’s fun to dream and to throw it out there for other people’s thoughts.
I think that the best deal we get for Kabby is Hodgson and a first. I would be surprised if they did that without us throwing in a guy like Poni as well. We might be able to get some other top prospect/player and a 1st pick…but its basically that deal and nothing more than that is really likely IMO. The chances of getting a top six, a top prospect AND a top pick for Kabs is virtually non existent. Maybe if we wait until the deadline and things go right, some desperate GM will do it, but right now nobody will mortgage their entire future.
The question is, do you move Kabs…for a top six/top prospect plus a pick? I guess it would depend on the player and we should consider where the pick is coming from too. Like, LA’s pick is certainly going to be better than Vancouver’s or Boston’s.

Kabs or Kabs+Poni(or who ever)

FOR

Kessel+1st pick
Brassard+1st pick
Hodgson+1st pick
Filatov+1st pick
Staal+1st pick

I’m somewhat on the fence with this, part of me wants to keep Kabs and wait it out. What do you guys think?

cool, we’re proposing trades with no thought to them now? i LOVE this game!!!1

.

to Pitt – Blake Kaberle and a 3rd – to Tor – Malkin and Tangradi
.
to Washington – Stajan, Deveaux and Hagman – to Tor – Ovechkin

.

then sign Kovalchuk, and WOWZERS what a first line!!!!1

How about trading White or MVR along with Kulemin and a 3rd round pick to Pittsburg for Jordan Staal and a 4th round pick? Pittsburg might consider giving up their 3rd line centre as good as he is (still their third liner) for a young winger who had great chemistry with Malkin in Russia and a puck moving defenceman to compliment Gonchar, and to offset some of the lost defence, Hall and Scuderi, and a 3rd round pick to sweeten the deal. Toronto gets a 20year old stud defencemen. That would still allow Toronro to deal Kaberle for additional forward upgrade (Kessel or Kesler or Hodgson) and a pick.

@danvertising

Even though Staal is an awesome 20 year old I don’t know about the moon for a third line centre being paid $4m annually, seems to me they could improve team in other areas and a young winger with PROVEN chemistry with Malkin and yes they lost defensive D but they also saw what a loss it was when Gonchar got hurt and they already traded Witney. Signed McKee already to replace Gill.
