Leafs and Flyers linked in trade talks?

The thing is Simmonds made it clear that he didn’t mean it to offend gays , its heat of the moment. Im guilty of calling tons of guys gays or fags , my buddies , opponents and have been called a fag thousands of times its just a word that gets thrown around in the heat of the moment but now is becoming very frowned upon.

Liles is our best offensive dman and moving him makes us worse, Burke clearly said he wants to improve the team

I agree with that too. I think Liles would get a Keberle type package. Even Komi with one year left (I think) can fetch a pick or 2

You sure you want to include Norris trophy winner Carlyle in there? lol

I like Mac and think he is a talented player. But watching last nights game. Kadri in my mind easily replaces him. They have Lombardi & Armstrong waiting to play 2nd & 3rd line minutes. At the deadline Mac’s value will be at its peak. If we trade him for a first or keep him I’ll be happy either way.

Just what we need is another third liner and that would mean Kadri would be going back to the Marlies

To me you don’t touch Liles, its either Gunnar or Aulie. Liles is a huge piece in why we have the 3rd ranked PP in the league

I wonder if it’ll be something like Schenn or Franson + maybe a middling prospect for JVR and Philly’s 1st.

Fuck now I’m getting sucked into this 22 year old stuff lol.

I put him in just to be fair, and they did pick up Dave Burrows for him. I like Luke, and if he turns out to be Luke Richarson, I’m fine with that. But my point is if you have a chance to improve the team – in a big way, not just some half assed deal – you have to do it no matter who the player is. When I look at that list I realize I just don’t fall in love with individual players any more. I’ve seen too many. I’d rather see a Cup win.
