Thursday Mashup: Campoli, Schenn, hockey links everywhere

by Ryan Fancey on July 21, 2011 in Leafs News - 375 Comments

A good number of links this morning folks, including a few from the Leafs Nation which has blown up for an abundance of material in the past couple days.

We’ve also had a discussion going over whether the Leafs will look at adding Chris Campoli in the coming days/weeks. Our own Alex Tran mentioned yesterday that Campoli could be looking to come to the hockey mecca.

The question, of course, is whether Burke and co. will look at adding him for cheap after the Hawks parted ways with him yesterday.

I’m not sure the team really needs yet another defenceman, but knowing Burke and his dream of having an entire team made of blueliners, it’s very possible that he ends up with the Leafs. Why have 10 defenceman when you can have 11? Why have 49 when you can have 50?

There are a lot of links, so I’ll quit wasting your time.
