I don't think One Leafs fan expects a big splash other than maybe some grit guys. Which is good, no stupid signings.

Remind me again why I should believe the Leafs will be better next year?

You mean like paying Parrenteau 6 million for 4 seasons? What's not to like??

Cause Burke's not interested in a 5 year rebuild, remember? GAWD!

*12 years pass*

Burke: "We fully believe in this group. We're not as truculent as we should be, but we really believe Marty Brodeur Jr is a #1 goalie in this league, last year he had no support as our defenseman were picking their teeth out of the glass each night."

Well unless they can get PA at that type of contract. I am fine with getting Winnik

I like all of the above apart from signing Clemmenson. I think that I'd almost rather roll the dice on Reimer/Scrivens rather than signing any of the UFA goalies available. Any help here will have to come via trade I think...

By one bad month you mean February, March and April, right? Aka 40% of the season.

Every free agent frenzy and trade deadline day, for the Leafs.. I always have this sound in my head, after nothing is done...

Should not be so negative. Doing nothing is, in fact, doing something. Holding tight on the existing roster is a good start.

There's two ways I see the goalie situation:

1) if the goal is to make the the playoffs, sign Clemmenson
2) if we're looking more at developing Reimer and Scrivens...let em have the net and sign/trade for no one (in goal)

As long as its not 45....

haha I do think they are not as bad as they finished, but really that is obvious.

They just need a #1 goalie/centre, Big top 6 winger & another defensive d man..... Oh lord OK, I just depressed myself. But if they are able to get 2 of the 4, they will make playoffs...........

Doing nothing to a roster which allowed for a 26th overall finish is called screwing the pooch...

I agree, for development purposes and giving Frattin, Kadri, Colborne a chance/spot...100%

But Burke's mandate is out of whack and he's too desperate to prove he can "fix" Toronto fast.

The most depressing part for me is when I look at the teams from 1999-2004 and think of the pieces they had...this team has as close to NONE OF THOSE as you can get and those teams STILL didn't accomplish anything.

"Tell my family I love them" *pulls trigger*

A good start is jerking off in the shower before heading to work. Doing nothing to a roster which allowed for a 26th overall finish is called screwing the pooch...
