davey buoy Posted June 21, 2012 Report Share Posted June 21, 2012 Stahl would be good,but it's looking like Burke is not going to do anything soon.The goal tending issue should of been solved by now.Too many teams going after to little goalies.I don't think he'll last 3 mths.

Sebastian Posted June 21, 2012 Report Share Posted June 21, 2012 Should be an interesting Draft. Burke better make some moves this summer. Nash or Staal would be a great fit. Luongo Is solid enough to help a team get to the playoffs(playing in the playoffs is another story.) I think Burke will be feeling the pressure to scoop someone up as it may be his last year if there is another poor season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was talk two to three weeks ago that the brass has had enough.I wouldn't be surprised he's let go well before the season starts.Let's face it leafs are worse now then they were when he took over.

Jigger Posted June 21, 2012 Report Share Posted June 21, 2012 Calder Cup finals this year and more 1st round picks playing in the system than any other team in the league has me questioning your logic Davey Buoy. Id say theyre leagues ahead of where JFJ left the team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jedimaster Posted June 21, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 21, 2012 The same number as the sens have won. I don't think burke is gonna go. If was he would be gone before the draft. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

timmeh Posted June 21, 2012 Report Share Posted June 21, 2012 If you were Staal why you want to leave a perennial cup contender for the leafs. Hmm, battling for cups or 12th place. Besides rumor is if he leaves he'll be joining his brother in Carolina. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jigger Posted June 21, 2012 Report Share Posted June 21, 2012 (edited) How worse though? Theyre thick on overpaid guys, no doubt. But Connoly, armstrong and Lombardi come off the books after this year and they have a Stanley Cup winning coach to start the year. Carlysle is not RW. Thats a good thing. Edit: if memory serves, didnt Raycroft get the most wins ever by a Leaf 'tender that year? Also, Mats was still active. Sundin>Alfie 10 times out of 10.

uglyfish Posted June 22, 2012 Report Share Posted June 22, 2012 If staal leave pitts, he's goin to the canes to play with his big bro. There is no goaltending issue in toronto and to waste a trade to get a goalie is stupid. Leafs should pick gregorenko or galenchyuk at 5, yakupov should go 2nd with edmonton picking ryan murray.

Handlebarz Posted June 22, 2012 Report Share Posted June 22, 2012 I canciled my leafs TV and deleted my leafs app maybe 2019 I will turn them back on again. I must say THANK YOU to the leafs for the start of last season as dad got to pass away with them on a good start towards the cup. I have heard him rolling around on the shelf here at home he must be watching them from the other side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreenCanada Posted June 22, 2012 Report Share Posted June 22, 2012 Come on boys, the Leafs are positioned to be able to make some moves and pull in some key pieces. Hopefully we are able to land a proven goaltender and a quality centre before the summer is out. I'm looking at tomorrow and July 1st to make some deals. I wouldn't mind seeing Staal, Ryan, Parise, or Nash (not at the same asking price as at the trade deadline), in a Leafs jersey or even moving up in the draft to grab Galchenyuk. I have a strong feeling that Montreal will snag him before we get the chance, mainly so Toronto doesn't get him. Pretty petty, but I don't expect much else from the Canadiens. Luongo would be a nice upgrade, but I'd rather make an offer sheet for Cory Schneider. $5 mill would only require a 1st and a 3rd I think. Not a bad deal and if the Canucks matched, then they would have no choice but to deal Luongo. No way they can keep over $10 mill in goalies going forward. I don't want to see Schenn go as he is only 22 and Wilson basically messed the kid up. Same goes with Kadri. That being said, I don't think there are many untouchables. We should try and move up, but not if the price is ridiculous. We have been steadily getting better since Burke came, regardless of what the haters say. We had little to no prospects JFJ in charge and that has changed. It takes time to build a perpetual contender, but we are working towards that goal. It isn't an overnight accomplishment, but patience is not infinite. Burke understands this is likely his last year if they don't make the playoffs, so hopefully he doesn't do something for short term gain and longterm pain. Go Leafs Go!

You can rent lots of mediocre players by trading draft picks, to just scratch the surface of the playoffs as JFJ often did. We are miles ahead of where JFJ left us, we had to fix what he broke, first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stoty Posted June 22, 2012 Report Share Posted June 22, 2012 the Leafs are positioned to be able to make some moves and pull in some key pieces. They've been in that position ever since Burke started...yet he seems to enjoy "the pooch", if ya know what I mean! I don't want to see Schenn go as he is only 22 and Wilson basically messed the kid up. Same goes with Kadri. Schenn is the most useless player they Leafs have......unless you enjoy defensive zone blunders and a good 3-4 horrible turn-overs a game. Kadri = GREAT pre-season/practice player!

d_paluch Posted June 22, 2012 Report Share Posted June 22, 2012 (edited) You can't say that Stoty, Wilson had him playing 1-2 dman minutes, and he just isn't there yet. Then he basically got benched, which threw all of his confidence out the window. I think (read, hope) Schenn can turn it around this year. Who knows. One things forsure is I doubt Karlsson will have a repeat. Good dman, sure, but I don't think he will be a repeat ppg player Edited June 22, 2012 by d_paluch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheLegend2012 Posted June 22, 2012 Report Share Posted June 22, 2012 dont think Staal is worth the trade ONLY cuz he is a UFA after this yr and all signs are he is going to play with his bro in carolina,so to give up XX for a guy to leave in a yr isnt worth the gamble unless its a trade and sign deal to secure him here Leafs are in no hurry to get luongo,its the Nucks who need to move him to be able to sign schneider + most other teams have already got their goalie like tampa did and Minny resigned theirs Luv nash but cant see leafs getting him just not enough horses to part with Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jedimaster Posted June 22, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 22, 2012 There are some players I would like to see on the leafs that are available at some price point, Nash, Staal, Luongo... the list goes on. Listening to an interview Nonis and he is saying there are no talks going on about moving anywhere in the draft and that they won't likely be able to get the forward they want so they will settle for the best player available and that's likely going to be a defenseman. It doesn't really sound like any big moves will be made the leafs have the 5th and 35th, so hopefully they can pick someone up thats useful Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have the higher draft pick.. not going to pass on players because they feel bad the leafs are the only team to not make the playoffs since the lockout.

jedimaster Posted June 22, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 22, 2012 The leafs had a real strong 3/4 of a season last year. Played tight and fast paced. Of course we all know how they fell apart, the defense got exposed and so did the goaltending. Everyteam has a few guys that cough the puck up, its innevetable. The leneed to further tighten up the d line, and pickup a goalie. I would like to see a big time center as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
