Franson wont fetch a good return on his own
- truth.serum

Depends what u consider a good return? what do u think we can get for him?

Columbus wants two roster players so Michalek and one of Foligno/Regin. they do have some nice prospects but I'd assume Columbus will want one of Zibenajad or Stone but they wont get both plus picks. I think Ottawa can pull it off.

That would be a pretty brutal trade for Columbus in my opinion.

say what you will about Luongo, the Leafs would be a playoff team with top 10 netminding, and a true #1 C of course

Andrea Bargnani must be pretty excited to be getting Roberto Luongo in Toronto ...they might need to re-shoot that Primo Pasta commercial

Just received word that the #Oilers are interested in #Leafs defenceman Cody Franson. Connect the dots as you wish.

Franson + for the 1st overall, its almost inevitable

Forget the first i want the second overall

we nedd Galchenyuk more than Yakupov Case Close

late 1st rounder, early 2nd rounder....

a fine player but wont lead his team to any glory

It would have to be Franson ++

He is not worth a 1st round pick alone, especially 1st overall.

Not so Bad


Zibanejad + Michalek + Cowan

for Nash and Nikitin

I don't think you need the 2nd pick to get Galchenyuk.

He probably meant Franson and 5th overall for 1st overall.

Michalek,Foligno,Zibenajad or Stone, 2nd and 3rd. You think it's terrible? I guarantee you the Sens fans on HB will want me banned for that proposal.

Per Jonas Siegel on twittwat: "Burke on drafting to fill an organizational need: "This is the one time in my life I've considered it. If there were a certain position available that we might try to fill it. But we usually go best-available athlete and that’s still the way I intend to go." In three separate tweets.

Ryan Murray is the stud of this draft, if you ask me, which nobody was....

as you were.

ya obvs it would have to be franson plus others, the most he would get in return alone is a 2nd rounder at this point..

I find it amusing as to how people think moving up costs an arm and a leg..

Burke moved up 4 spots to 2nd overall to get Pronger and all he did was give up his 1st, 2nd, 3rd picks...

Franson plus 5th overall perhaps.

There's some people suggesting Montreal takes Forsberg but I think they will take Galy

Burke said he has had no discussions about trading up to get Edmonton's No. 1 pick. He isn't looking for a guy to play right away at No. 5.

His team got him there!!!

splitting hairs. you can't have one without the other.

Michalek is good but always hurt and I'm not sold on Foligno. Columbus can do better than this.

Looks like Mr.Luongo just got a little more expensive
- CanuckforLife

What, did that genius Gillis extend him by 2 years and $10 million?


Nice contract. You can keep it.

Ryan Murray is the stud of this draft, if you ask me, which nobody was....

- truth.serum

I'll be so pumped if we get him at 5, even though everyone wants a center. I also want Dumba.
