NF- Leafs Trade

[SlowPoke]

All this talk about Sundin, Tucker, McCabe and Kaberle and thier no-trade deals...

Shouldn't Toskala be trade bait at the deadline?

 

-He's been probably a top 10 goalie for the last 2 months

-He has a contract, not a rent-a-player

-He has given his team a chance to win every night since early December.

 

Nobody mentions him moving yet he's been the hottest Leaf in the last 2 months.

If they're going to blow this team up they might as well cut him loose and insure a last place finish and a shot at 1st overall pick.

The talking heads on one of the shows talked about that the other night. Apparently the Leafs have a young guy in the system who looks promising. I wish I could remember the conversation but it seems to me they worked up a good sounding scenario for trading him.

Hey Brian,

 

I really think that anyone one that team that is movable (ie., doesn't have a no trade clause) will be available. Are you thinking of Pogge as a starter? Raycroft has had enough opportunities..

 

I could be wrong but I don't think that last place finish guarantees first overall pick....

[ShaunB]

The goalie you are thinking of is Justin Pogie I think. Yeha he is pretty good. Ottawa and Carolina made a 4 player trade today!

[ccmtcanada]

Sure...Toskala is game, but why would we? I'd say they try to unload the big salaries. The Leafs have been trying to get a good starting goalie for 3 years now they finally have one that isn't breaking the bank.

[Headhunter]

No need for all this trade talk... the Leafs are gonna make the playoffs! I believe that the meds, have kicked in! I'd be a lot upset at their season so far, if I wasn't so heavily medicated!

I wouldn't trade Tlusty, Strolman, Kaberle, Steen

I wouldn't start Pogge, start/rotate Clemenson/Raycroft and keep Pogge with the Marlies for another year.

I stated trading Toskala would insure last overal and a shot at 1st overall. Deep draft this year from what those that know the game say... any pick 1-5 is solid, perhaps even a franchise player in 1-3.

I don't have any trouble keeping Toskala but I can't see making any headway at the trade deadline with anyone else. If Toronto is in rebuilding mode, they might as well tank in goal until they build a good enough team for Pogge in the '09-'10 season.

how bout trade sundin to a winning team that have a good chance of winning the cup and get him back next year, this way he will be happier and we get some different players, it would be like a 4 month contract...

Are they goalies?

[holdfast]

Ill trade Latendresse, La Pierre, Pletanic, Brisbois ( AKA Brokenwood), Both Kosteatsyns, Koivu, Hamerlik, Streit, Dandenault for Tucker. Out with the Wimps, in with some Toughness. Habs couldnt beat themselves out of a wet paperbag. Oh dont get your Panties in an uproar because they are in second place, the word is out that they hide when checked or threatened.

[Rizzo]

its hard to trade Toskala and come out on top because we just gave up a first round pick for the guy, and probably a pretty darn high one at that! Would someone else give you a first round pick for him? Maybe, but even if they did, it wouldn't be as high a pick as the one the Leafs gave up to get him.

Si, Si.......Spanish for goalies JF..

[Tacklebuster]

The first thing they should trade are the owners.
