Leaf Rumours

AND LOOK at the Western Conference STANDING!!!! There are what, three or four teams that are hovering around the playoffs? Or maybe even more?

YOU KNOW that Burke is working on some massive shit to rape one of those teams for the next AULIE in a forward. And you KNOW that he has Brayden Schenn first and foremost on his brain.

It would be akin to landing all five of the SUTTERS if he got both Schenns.

Hey teeds, do you think there is a probability (even slight) of Burkie doing this? That would get me excited again.
 
I hope he can turn Versteeg into him.

Versteeg + a 2nd?

I can't see Versteeg and a 1st... Not a Leafs first anyway.
 
Turning Versteeg into Brayden at this point would be a big win.

I like Versteeg when he's producing, but when he's not, there's nothing more frustrating that seeing him circle back two or three times on one rush just so that he can try to single-handedly penetrate the zone without passing to a teammate. And yes, that mouth guard sticking out of his yap all game long is really annoying to look at.

And frankly, he's not a third liner, not is he likely a first liner, and we already have better second liners, so maybe it wouldn't be bad to trade him.

Versteeg, Sjostrom, Hanson

for Bradyen
 
Say we can pick up Brayden, this off season, do we sign someone like Arnott as insurance to fill our 1C?
 
Guys, guys, guys. YES, we can get Brayden, but on this one, we gotta pay. We HAVE to give LA something that will make them think they are going to MAKE the playoffs and possibly win some rounds. Whatever that is.
 
I wouldn't want to include Aulie if it could be managed, but I'd be more than okay with adding value in the way of prospects on top of Versteeg to get Brayden.

Yet, one player who is likely on their radar for an upgrade is Toronto winger Kris Versteeg, whose cap hit is an affordable $3.083 million this year and next.

The soon-to-be 25-year-old left wing is a perfect fit for the Flyers: a gritty, hard checker who plays above his 5-foot-10 size. The bad? He could cost the Flyers James van Riemsdyk, a player Leafs GM Brian Burke likes a lot and believes will be a future Olympian for Team USA.

Done

has anyone yet seen this Versteeg fellow, who allegedly plays above his 5 foot 10 size, actually play bigger than he is?
 
would you then flip JVR to LA in a package for Schenn??? I know Burke is saying that he wants players now, but this is really a rebuild with not draft picks but rather known draft picks.

Draft picks have a worse depreciation value than a Kia Sorrento. Would you want Schenn or JVR

Yes. Please.
 
I think Versteeg would seem more valuable to LA... they need guys with cup/playoff experience. They have enough guys to start paying for as they get older in the next few years, therefore Schenn may be low on their playability chart. I think Burke goes for Schenn hard, as no other team is really going to give up someone who is a true number one centre currently.

I think Grabs and Versteeg do it for LA.

Call up Kadri, play Brayden now, and sign Macarthur to a contract. Trade Kabs if you have to and get a powerforward. Kabs for Malone would suck but it may be the best you can get from the teams that he'll go to.
 
If Burke gets Brayden Schenn and DOES NOT give up Aulie, Kadri or his brother. We got a future. I would say take three of anything else you want off the team or system. No questions asked.
