Leaf Rumours

I don't know about that. 19 points isn't all that impressive.

38, 52, 62, 48, and 44 in the five seasons preceding that and a Second All-Star Team selection in 2008. Three consecutive All-Star selections from 2007-2009. The guy is a good player. But Keith gets by far most of the offensive opportunities for Chicago on the PP.
 
the leafs can't afford to take campbell's contract off the books.

komisarek and a prospect for campbell might make some sense, though. mnij will say 'no thanks,' but campbell is the second most egregiously overpaid player in the league right now.

good defenseman. not a $7mn defenseman, and if the hawks want that contract off the books then they have to be prepared to take a bad contract back.
 
Komi has only 2 more years at a lot lower cap hit. It would save them big dollars.

but I don't see why we do it. Not with Phaneuf's deal on the cap.
 
hmmmm... what about Lecavalier???

Maybe Tampa gives the first and third because if they make the playoffs, it will be a late 1st, and also as Chicago knows, you have to sign these young guys and it costs you too much in the long run.

The rumour also says they would do it so they could make another move for a player. Tampa looks like they could make some moves now as opposed to waiting.

they would have to take back Komi though.

Would you do it for Lecavalier, or is he done??
 
Here's an idea from another board.. seems somewhat fair I think

To CHI: Kaberle + Versteeg + 2012 4th + 2012 6th
To TOR: Campbell + Bolland + Beach + 2011 1st + 2012 3rd

Chicago saves roughly $1.6 for the rest of the season to do whatever they see fit with, and then a larger amount on the long-term with Campbell's $ gone.
 
i would think long and hard about that big proposal.

Bolland and Steeg are a wash, but we need wingers you need Centers.

That makes it Campbell, Beach 1, 3 for Kaberle 4, 6

It would be nice to have the flexability....and im not sure how much we lose talent wise this year.
 
Well Burkes holding on to Barney has created the inevitable. Look at this poll of 300 NHL players. Gentlemen, this city is screwed for years.



Which Team Would You Least Like To Play On?
1) New York Islanders - 27%
2) Atlanta Thrashers - 7%
3) Toronto Maple Leafs - 5%
4) Florida Panthers - 2%

The Leafs have missed the playoffs for five straight years and this season could be the sixth. Players want to be on a competitive team, so it's understandable why they would rank Toronto as the third lowest team in the league. Losing and intense 24/7 media spotlight can overshadow the biggest hockey market and a passionate fan base and make Toronto an undesirable team to play for.

Which Coach Would You Least Like To Play For?
1) Ron Wilson - 24%
2) John Tortorella - 15%
3) Marc Crawford - 14%
4) Brent Sutter - 10%
5) Mike Keenan - 9%

15/300 saying they wouldn't want to play for the leafs really isn't concerning at all.

the vote for wilson is, though. it's pretty surprising, too, because he has always had a reputation as a player's coach.
 
CBC showed the Poll for least wanted place to play and it had Buffalo on the list and no Toronto. But that said, Toronto and Montreal are high on the lists for obvious reasons.
