Add to that a number of players locked into long term deals, kessel, dion, clarkson, Gardner and lupul.

I think of those deals, only Clarkson is unmoveable. Maybe Lupul, but only because he's injured too often. I think the rest of those deals could get moved, though.

They don't need a complete rebuild. Zeke assures me that the numbers prove that the Leafs are just as good as the Habs, if not better.

Sounds about right. IMO the leafs need a solid re-tool. Let some of these young kids play. Give spott the team and ask him to develop and work on a system for now and the future. Give him some assurance his job is safe for a couple of years. The leafs drafted rielly and nylander after crappy seasons. Those are two good prospects. They need more of that. If you look at the core of the team none of those guys were drafted. You need to draft your core then surround them by bringing in guys via trade and ufa.

Great night in Vancouver tonight. The return of the GR. Vancouver fans get to show him the love one more time. Even generated a top 10 on Sportscentre on TSN.

Roberto Luongo returns to Rogers Arena for the first time since his blockbuster trade to Florida last spring, and will face his former team in Florida Panthers livery. Will the Stanley Cup finalist and Olympic gold medal-winning netminder be cheered or booed by Canucks fans?
Thank you for voting!
CHEERED: He was a Canucks star for nearly eight seasons, arguably their best goalie ever. 95.31%
JEERED: Forget sentiment; he’s on the other team now, and besides, he wilted under pressure with the Stanley Cup on the line in 2011. 4.69%

Statement from the Parise family.
After a brave battle with lung cancer, J.P. Parise passed away peacefully at home Wednesday night with his family by his side. We appreciate the outpouring of support we have received from family, friends and the entire hockey community during this difficult time. J.P. was a great husband, father and grandpa and will be greatly missed by all of us.
Funeral arrangements will be announced at a later time.

JP Parise. I was really hoping he would take out that referee (Kompala?) in the 72 series. Emotions were that high everywhere. I remember it like yesterday. Guess its a good thing he didn't.
JP was a bit of a darkhorse to make that team, and did well. Another one gone from the group. (Bergman,Goldsworthy,any more?)

They always blame their coaches and goalies. Maybe ,,, just maybe their players besides a select few are not very good.

Really the Leafs are a disaster. There is a reason why they've made the playoffs once in last 10 years.
That's pathetic. It's easy to make the playoffs in the NHL.
Look at the Habs. They hide behind their goalie and have a terrible coach. Yet, they are a playoff lock for the foreseeable future.
