SlowPoke Posted February 11, 2008 Report Share Posted February 11, 2008 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnF Posted February 11, 2008 Report Share Posted February 11, 2008 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.

John Posted February 11, 2008 Report Share Posted February 11, 2008 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 Posted February 11, 2008 Report Share Posted February 11, 2008 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! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ccmtcanada Posted February 11, 2008 Report Share Posted February 11, 2008 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Headhunter Posted February 11, 2008 Report Share Posted February 11, 2008 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! HH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SlowPoke Posted February 11, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 11, 2008 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.... 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. 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. 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
urbanangler1990 Posted February 11, 2008 Report Share Posted February 11, 2008 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...

holdfast Posted February 12, 2008 Report Share Posted February 12, 2008 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rizzo Posted February 12, 2008 Report Share Posted February 12, 2008 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.
