Leaf Rumours

Obviously you guys do that. Like if they asked us for Kaberle for him, I do that in a heartbeat too.

I'm pretty sure if they deal him they'll want talent in return.
 
Franzen is a good player, but how much better is he than a 40+ point 20+ minute per game dman? Lets not get crazy here. He is a good 2nd line, border line first line winger not a superstar. Kind of like how Liles is a good 2nd pair, borderline first pair dman.

Franzen is an injury prone beast.

Injury-prone? He only had one really bad season injury-wise in 09/10, when he only played 27 games. He's played 76 and 77 games in the two years since then, and in his career previous to that one disastrous season, the most games he's missed to injury is 13 back in 06/07.

As for Liles for Franzen, I'd do it, though I really do like Liles. It'd leave our defense looking a little thin for next year though.

unless Rielly is on the team.

The problem with that idea is that even if you think Rielly is so super-awesome that he's ready to step into the NHL right away this year, he won't get the chance to do so unless NHL training camps start on time. If they don't (and that's looking like a good bet with the current state of CBA negotiations), then Rielly's not going to be sitting around waiting for the NHL to come back. He'll go back to the WHL, and once he's there, he can't be recalled whenever the NHL season eventually starts.

You said next year. i don't think rielly will make it this year, although i'd love to be wrong because he'd have to be amazing to make the team.

I assume this is another, he's a Leaf so he's pretty much worth less than dirt suggestion.

Not less than dirt, but average to poor defensive defensemen, 40 point level, making 4M a year, and who looked like absolute crap after coming back from a bad injury are not exactly sought after around the league.

Neither are 33 year old floating 50 point wingers that make $4 million for the next decade.
