Burmistrov is a C. Labate can barely play at NHL level let alone C. Gaunce is a better LW then C at NHL level. Maybe Guance can work on playing C better getting top minutes with Comets.

Gaunce was a fine 4th line center. Burmistrov is 41% lifetime faceoffs. Not quite sure he should be center.

Meh...19 goal scoring 37 year old. I doubt they care

they made fun of LE deal who was 7 years younger. Look now for media to proclaim them free agent winners

Complete overpayment. He will be 39/40 when that is done. JVR is 28 and scored 29 goals last season. Marleau is 37 and got 27 goals last season. Jvr is being shopped tho..

Gaunce has a skill ?

Leafs gonna sign Jagr 3yrs/5.5m

That seems... unfortunate. I would definitely be unhappy giving him a 3rd year, but I gather that's the only way he was leaving the Sharks.

Only way i think the leafs pull off a good move is flipping jvr for a good d man. They have 2 years before they have to really pay Matthews and the rookies.

over labate yes. Either will fit ideally for their reason.

True but Labate can be a solid call up & wreak a lil havoc given his role.
Gaunce needs to get off the snide

He had 27 goald 19 assists

Correct

Don has no need for facts.

35+ rule with his contract signing. Buyout does nothing for leafs cap hit

I double checked and he's now listed as a C. hmmm when I looked yesterday it had him as a RW.

I dunno if i want to start bringing tanevs name up with leaf trade rumors lol. Leaf fans dont really like that.

I dont think he has tons of value these days for most teams but the sharks. He takes a lot of the load away from Thorton and the team was built around those 2. Its more than just the 19 G

My offer is prolly not in our favour.
Something along those lines maybe.

With me here they got no choice lol
They need top D & they r not getting it without a trade.
Liljegrin they pin high hopes on but he is years away & not a guarantee.
