Leaf Rumours

Man, I was taking a look at that Sharks roster to see who I'd want after San Jose's "big five", and that team has zero offensive depth. Jay McClement, who is 11th in scoring on the Leafs, would be 5th in scoring on the Sharks.

I'd gladly take Thornton off their hands though.

**** that. I'd love to have him on our third line. They can have Moen in return.

Difference being that Lupul, JVR, Kessel, Frattin, MacArthur, and Kulemin have all been better than Clowe this season, so not sure where'd even play on our team.

Oh.. Well he's certainly better than Moen.

Guy can't skate though and has become an incredibly ineffective player. Like HL said, I don't really see a fit with the Leafs. He's not skilled enough to play with Kadri (it would be incredibly frustrating to have such a useless slug wasting opportunities.. at least Komarov can skate) and not fast enough to keep up with Grabo or Kessel. He'd be a pretty great 4th liner.. I guess he can replace Mclaren!
 
My deadline wish list is Clowe and/or Boll and a crease clearing Dman (no Komisuckass isn't it).

Need more toughness to get by both the Ruins and Leafs.
 
Grabovski + Liles + Percy + 2nd for Thornton + Clowe

Kulemin to Pittsburgh for a pick

Lupul - Thornton - Kessel
JVR - Kadri - MacArthur
Clowe - Bozak - Frattin
Komarov - McClement - McLaren

That would be a sweet lineup. Great balance.

Prob not happening.
 
I dont think Nonis would ever trade for Thornton... its just going in the wrong direction age wise

Clowe maybe...but he's not even that good.
 
Clowe is stronger along the board but given how the rest of his game is like (and he's overrated) i'm sure there are better options out there.

The Leafs NEED to get bigger and stronger along the board ON OUR TOP 2 LINES. Clowe can't even crack our top 6 (in fact, I'm not even sure he can crack our top 9 this season after Lup comes back)

We WILL get 1 decent board player for free when Lup comes back.

We will need at least 1 more though.
 
Judging from the number of NHL scouts in attendance, there appears to be a healthy amount of interest in trading for Brenden Morrow of the Dallas Stars. As summarized by Mike Heika of the Dallas Morning News, the Boston Bruins, Pittsburgh Penguins, Toronto Maple Leafs, Columbus Blue Jackets, Minnesota Wild, and New York Rangers were represented at recent away games in Phoenix and Los Angeles.

Leading into this season, Clowe has been a consistent 55-60pt forward who hits and fights. He's also been playing on a very affordable contract. Solid 2nd line winger.
 
Clowe could be a good buy low candidate, but who do you bump from a top 3 line wing position to make room for him based on his current form? He's been bad this year.

Kessel
Lupul
JVR
Frattin
MacArthur
Kulemin
