Leaf Rumours

For a mid-round draft pick why not? Morris has turned into a reliable veteran bottom-pairing defenceman as his offence has dried up throughout the years.

Certainly would provide some leadership and stability back there.
 
He's not even a bottom pairing guy. He plays 20+ minutes a game. Big upgrade on Kostka and Fraser. He was great on their playoff run last year.
 
Used to love that guy whdn he first broke into the league. can't say i've watched him much lately but if he's really become legit defensively then he's exactly the kind of mobile defensive dman i like. though i don't exactly trust that playing borderline top-4 minutes in that structured system definitely means that you're a lehit top 4 dman.

ya but it's not like he went to phoenix as a bottom pair guy and became a top 4 guy. he's been in the league since 97 and has alwasy held down a top four role.

i also wonder if they'd move michalek. really like that guy.... reminds me of yushkevich, although like yushkevich i wonder if all those hits he's willing to take to clear pucks have taken their toll. his offense has basically dried up completely the past few years.

I haven't really seen Morris play in years, since he disappeared into the abyss that is the Phoenix Coyotes. But as long as he can play solid defense and comes cheap, I've got no objection to adding some veteran depth on D.

As for Luongo---I don't care if the Canucks were giving US a second round pick and a prospect to take him. Just say no.
 
It makes a lot of sense for Nonis to just go the inexpensive route and find the Leafs some version a top-4, defensive, mobile lengthy defenceman who can eat some minutes on the right side.

Luongo makes no sense for the Leafs right now.
 
MG isn't going to trade Schneider for Lupul+ scrivens. I mean, we aren't going to trade schneider, but even if we did, it wouldn't be for lupul. We can get something better than that from teams. On top of that, isn't Lupul injured quite a bit? He's a solid player, but we can get back something better for Schneider. There are a lot of teams interested in him.

Lupul for Schneider is ridiculous (and Im not a homer who overvalues our players).

I'm all for shopping Schneider if someone is willing to give fair value for him (and fair value in my eyes would be a Yakupov type of talent

Actual discussion on HFtards' Vancouver board right now. :lol
 
heh

Yeah, if Morris hasn't declined a bunch, that's the kind of guy I'd like to see the Leafs add to the blueline.

It'll be way funnier when Luongo actually gets dealt for far less than they expected. The Bruins board at HFtards was priceless when the Iggy deal went down.

True enough, that place is the internet's equivalent of a zoo for the developmentally challenged.
