I wouldn't do anything this year unless a sweet deal you can't refuse falls on your lap. I'd like to see this group in the playoffs again;
We hear that is where Clarkson will shine...so let's see. What difference will Bernier make, will Bolland be 100%? What will the kids look like with another playoff to grow off?
We all know how stupid the trade deadline deals are, I'd rather see what we have a bit longer. I think the last of the old deals (Tucker, etc) comes off the books so we'll have a little more money, we'll know better which D we want to keep, in general Nonis should have a much better grasp of things after a full length season and playoffs.
Plus, I believe that if we look good in the playoffs we can start thinking about attracting some better UFA's when they see the Leafs might finally be heading in the right direction.
