"I expect David Clarkson to rebound in a big way next season and score close to Thirty Goals".

"He has the potential to be on the same level as a Rick Nash".

who would you sign in this free agent crop? i'm all for trading up to get bennett and saving the 7 mil from dealing phaneuf, but who can replace the minutes he plays?

You construct a trade that brings you someone like Bieksa for someone like Lupul. It's easier to get secondary scoring via UFA than it is defense. We need to get a number one centre into the organization. It's been 5 years since we've had anything near one and we just keep chasing our tails. It's insane going forward, not having one. Every contender drafts one and gets 15 years out of them. What? Blozak, Kadri Kola and Blowland are going to make this a contender going forward? . . . - - - . . . Hello....anyone at MLS&Cash listening??

p.s. Now I know why the Ontario Teachers Pension Fund sold the Leafs.......they needed the cash for attack adds on the Tories!!

Give the damn kids a chance! Rielly & Gardiner..sign 2 free agents to pair with each of them. Robidas and whoever else. or Gleason..he doesn't get enough credit. Or go with Granberg...give the young guns a chance if you hate on Gleason. But Robidas, i've been saying a years, he's gotta be on our team.

This should be the transition year. Play the hell out of the kids and draft high next year at this time.....then start making your assent up the standings, with a 1st line centre and a young and growing defense corps. It's a waste of resources to buy 35+ year old defenders for short term nothing....it's just a waste of money on the cap, playing time for the young guys and kills the draft position on a year where we aren't going anywhere.

Everyone continues to want a big dman that can do everything.
A Shea Weber at 6'4 232 lbs

Meanwhile, Doughty is ripping it up in these playoffs and is listed as 6'1 212 lbs and isn't the physically imposing force that people think of when they want a big dman.

Morgan Rielly is listed as 6'1, 205 lbs. Any chance that he can develop a proper two way game to become a first pairing?

- ILoveLamp


interesting question... who did Doughty play with primarily his first couple of seasons in the NHL?

Why is everyone gushing about Bennett? It's not like he's the last young center to have potential.

Leafs don't need to always get the latest shiny new toy. Stand pat and draft at 8 unless a team is dumb enough to take poop for the pick. (Like a swap of picks and gardiner)

robidas broke his leg in the same place twice last year, not really a great selling point right now to bring him in

Wait till you have them. Only then can you know how you will treat them. I get what you're saying, as I told myself the same thing.
- hscesq

Dogs, cats, lions etc will pin down their young by their necks and drag them cheek first on the ground to scold them. Do that to your kids when they are young and i guarandamntee they will remember not to do what they did ever again. Children are no different then other young animals sometimes a good ole scolding is what they need.

so Leafs are in on every over-aged center and winger in the pool...

when what they really need is 2 defensemen and a back up goalie.

makes perfect sense to me.

Shanny knows what the team needs. I wouldn't worry about them going for centres.

Think if they drafted him, kid turns out to be a (frank)ing hot head that keeps blowing his top. Imagine the fun we'd have with "Let off some steam, Bennett"
