    Rick Nash is going to have an amazing day. Once when he finds out about the lockout end, twice when he remembers he was traded months ago

    Someone mentioned guess it was Cam that Burke is trying to build a Team USA WJC defense ie: Fast mobile and with a lot of puck handling skills.

    And we have a lot of pieces in place: Phaneuf, Gunnar, Gardiner, Reilly (from next season) with  Ranger, Kostka, Frazer and Holzer on the Marlies.

    Percy and Finn in CHL and Tom Nilsson on Team Sweden in WJC.

    This is looking good and Burke should trade of couple of players for top talent

    Looking at the numbers, during the summer Burke will have the biggest chance to turn the things around. With the two cap-free buyouts and a lot of deadwood UFAs it seems like a best chance since he was hired by the Leafs.

    It all depends on how Liles play in the spring – back in 50 point form he stays of course.

    But I would love to see him on the 3rd pairing 5 on 5 and then let him run the PP.

    Franson will be traded

    and you forgot to add the most important part of why USA’s D was so good, big physical and defensive sound also things your listed group lack minus Dion

    Id like to see Franson given a chance and I really don’t think it makes any sense to trade him unless its for a big prize ala LUOO

    Things are looking up for our D for sure.  Have been for a while. I’m sure he’s still looking to improve it though. 
      It’ll be really interesting once our goaltending improves and we get a 1C.

     you are right – they could do it call. So we only need to draft Jones and true 1C center this summer

    Fraser has puck handling skills. He can mash a puck in your face.  lol

     Franson will go in a package for a 1C or a goalie.

    Now the floodgates on rosters, positions, trades, signings, buyouts, can really take off.  Welcome back all :)

     That was a good one.

    But let not forget that Fraser and Holzer handled the shut down assignment for the Marlies in the play-off.

    Can they help in the NHL, that remains to be seen. They should at least get the chance.

    And a lot of teams would probably like to have players like that on they bottom pairing

    A lot of you think Komi is going to turn his game around under RC.  He might.  But the one to watch is Franson…he’s going to be killer under RC.  I wouldn’t trade him so easily.

    I don’t think there will be much movement until the deadline or next summer. Why would we get rid of franson tho? 

    Phaneuf – Gunnarson 
    Ranger – Gardiner
    Liles – Franson 

    Am I forgetting anyone that should be there? its been a while lol

    Don’t forget the Reilly factor.  I would like to see him stay in the WHL but who knows what they are thinking. 

    Edit:response to Leafsmaniac

    I wonder if the GM’s would even be allowed to talk to each other til this is written up and ratified ? I kinda doubt it
