Leafs deal Caputi for Deschamps, recall Holzer

i think grabo could be a good second line center on a playoff team… at least last years grabo could be. He may be small but last year he was all over the ice in the offensive zone, maybe not throwing big hits but using his body really well to knock people off the puck, maintain control and tie people up on the boards, and sometimes even looked fairly dominant down low. If we could upgrade the top line C to a bigger player i think we would be fine with having grabo in that position come playoff time.

Staal’s cap hit is $8.25 and his salary is irrelevant to the richest team in the NHL. If you trade Schenn and waive Lombardi and Orr its the same as Staal’s cap hit. Our team would be much much better IMO.

Well like I said…I am just not sold on him. Never have been, just my opinion I guess.

Understand your sentiment, but I see it as more a case of not closing the door to the possibility of future trades with Stevie Y.

thats not bad …lol and 21 yrs old, no wonder prospects cant make it here

The more I think about it the more I think this is a pretty fair deal. One of the more sane deals that I’ve seen on MLHS…

Hope the boys don’t think that way…

I never said I wouldn’t want him on the Leafs, just not at the cost of Schenn. That is why I said that it would be better to consider a decent prospect (maybe this is why Holzer is coming up, showcase time?) and a 2nd. Schenn, while playing weak this season for the most part, h still has a big place on this team moving forward.
