Strickland is saying the 7.7 number out there may be lower than the actual offer.

He’s the top guy. Of course teams are going to go after him. My guess is that he’ll have to decide if coming home is worth leaving some money on the table.

If you could build a Leafs defence using anyone from the past 30 years, who would you take?

Yuskevich Leetch
Rielly Kaberle
Berard McCabe
Muzzin?
- Arctic_AARDVARK

Leetch
Iafrate
Reilly
Salming
Muzzin
Kaberle
Murphy even though he sucked on the leafs

Also, don't forget Aki Berg and Cory Cross

Apparently the 7.7 in't the biggest issue. The details of the contract aren't even clear.
Can't see him staying at all in St-Louis now.

I think this is still posturing by both sides , way too early to call off talks IMO.

No, it’s over. He’ll be a Leaf, and win both a Cup and a Norris next year. The bird is the word.

Seems like more than posturing now.

Dreger says contract talks have broken off and the team has told him to pursue free agency.

That's a pretty strong move if it is just a negotiation tactic.

From an article this morning , from and an interview with AP today.

“We’re a little disappointed that we’re in this situation. We weren’t able to hammer out the details what we wanted in a deal. There was some work that we tried to get done that we couldn’t get done, so both sides agreed that maybe it’s in the best interest. We’re two weeks away. Not saying anything can’t change, but as of right now, that’s kind of our plan, and we’ll see where things go.”

Another one on structure

“You can talk about money all you want and dollars, but there’s more to a contract than the actual number, and there’s a lot that goes into the discussion of how you want a contract to be done. I’m not going to confirm or deny any numbers; it’s just we clearly weren’t able to get to a number that we thought was appropriate on both sides.”

Still room for Taylor Hall. I heard he wore Leafs socks to his high school graduation.

May have been the best D line up in the league.

I loved those teams and that D but I do think Burns made them look better then they really were.

A little like Trotz does.

That '93 Leafs team was a real pain in the ass to play against. Skilled. Tough. They just kept coming at you.
