No. Andrew MacDonald's contract is just as bad. So, is Petry's. However, I've been saying that about a lot of D contracts, so maybe there's a D man inflation going on.

Petry is fine..he is actually a top 4 D.. Amac is replacement level...you could get someone for 1 million to give you what he does.

Idears.

1. keep both kessel and phaneuf and trade them to expansion teams next year looking to make a splash.

2. trade for players with bad contracts and trade them back to the original team with half salary retained for picks or prospects.

Advance stats disagrees. His DPS is bad with only a small period where he was good with the Canadians.

Petry's historical DPS is worse than A Mac.

Fyi: DPS is defensive point share. It's based on well your defensive play helps your team.

Wow! Toronto fans, you need to just stop!
Your trade suggestions are idiotic!
You have had so many decades of loser teams, your minds are crap.
Toronto hockey capital of world, that is laughable (your not even hockey capital of Canada)
Shanahan is clueless (he sucked in the NHL front office) and I will place a bet with anyone, you just wasted millions of dollars signing BabCOCK (he is so overrated - I would NEVER have signed him for that contract - but it shows you how desperate Toronto is, they think they found a great coach, when in reality, he has been below average the past 5 years)

Someone suggestion: Kessel and #24 for Skinner, Semin and #5 - stay out of the dialog until you know what the hell your talking about - that is a joke unless you want to do the trade without the #5 (now that makes more sense)

Shanahan will be fired in two years and your stuck with a coach (Babcock) on the decline for 6 more years (oh, you will buy him out like all your other great signings.
we do not want Kessel or Phanuef.

interesting....

Raleigh wouldn't. .......apparently.

Wow. Kessel and 24 for Skinner and Semin? Sign me up! Right after I buy some premium Swamp land in Florida.

My interest level in awards is close to 0%, almost tied with All star games/voting

I saw some of the Voting... its mind bottling

If I were the leafs right now I would do anything to take that #3 from Arizona! Just watched Dylan Strome on tsn saying he loved and watched the leafs growing up with his family every Saturday. Marner is the same way +best friends with Strome. Take Strome #3 and Marner #4... (frank) Hanifin... I want people that want to play in Toronto! People who are going to give effort!

Proposal to get this done !

Tor-Kessel,JVR,2015 1st (24th)

Ari- 2015 1st,2015 1st(30th),20161st(going to be in the playoffs...so late 1st)

Don't care what anything thinks about this btw

I think the Leafs should draft only players that pretend to the media that they love the Leafs and are die hard fans when asked that question by Toronto media!

I am really hoping the Yotes take Strome and Hanifin falls to us. I would pick him in a hearbeat, but if it's rumored all these other teams want him, I would listen to how much they are willing to give up to draft #4..... it should be a fun night regardless. I am also hoping we have a deal in place acquiring another high first along with a prospect and cap dump for Kessel. It would be an awfully good start to the rebuild.

The Leaf fan thing is cool, but Strome is the right call. Big Skilled, hockey sense and a centre. Right now the leafs have lots of small skilled wingers, this is what they need to draft, makes perfect sense...

Love these draft debates. Is it close to 50/50 in here with regard to forward or defence at number 4?
