mrdannyg 274 Posted April 25, 2012 Share Posted April 25, 2012 Ryan Kesler?Rumours are that he had an injured shoulder. With an injured shoulder and a sandy vagina it's no wonder he looked ineffective for the most part.I agree. Plus, good to have more than one of those guys. Kesler is more of a 2-way guy than a power forward, no? To be honest, we're really stretching - with Kesler, Burrows, Samuelsson and Booth they 'should've had enough secondary scoring. But when you've got strong defence, a good goalie, a fantastic first line and a decent 4th line...well there's not much left to pick at. They need to have a good player to play with the Sedins and 5-6 strong forwards for their 2nd-3rd lines. They have lots of pieces, but might be a forward or two short to really be able to be dangerous with their second units, especially since you know the opponent has to put out their best defensive players against the first line.

serge 904 Posted May 14, 2012 Author Share Posted May 14, 2012 I think you mean Go Marlies GoHopefully the playoff success of the baby Leafs is a good sign for the future.Its looking very good..Brian Burke had a lot to do with the current success of the Marlies.But AHL success doesnt always translate to NHL success..Unfortunately Kadri might be a great example of this..Hopefully not though.

Fenxis 99 Posted May 14, 2012 Share Posted May 14, 2012 AHL success can also backfire -- a big chunk of later's winners (Binghampton) players changed teams after the win... Link to post Share on other sites

digitalmonkey 929 Posted May 28, 2012 Share Posted May 28, 2012 I'm starting more rumours...Luke Schenn to Philly for Forward scoring help.Justin Schultz to the Leafs. Link to post Share on other sites
FCP Bob 1,323 Posted May 28, 2012 Share Posted May 28, 2012 I'm starting more rumours...Luke Schenn to Philly for Forward scoring help.Justin Schultz to the Leafs.Every team in the league would love to get Schultz. He can only make the entry level maximum so the financial commitment isn't any greater than any other prospect.I would think he would be a top 10 pick if he was available in this year's draft.

serge 904 Posted May 28, 2012 Author Share Posted May 28, 2012 Im not a fan of trading Schenn to acquire a prospect. If the Leafs trade Schenn it will be for a proven NHL player, most likely part of a package IMO.Very exciting times for Leaf fans. Marlies are in the Calder cup Final.Will it be a championship for MLSE finally? Link to post Share on other sites
serge 904 Posted May 28, 2012 Author Share Posted May 28, 2012 Listening to Nonis and Burke talk they are pretty candid about what they are looking to do. They will be heavily involved in the trade market as opposed to the Free Agent route.Free agents will probably signed to fill holes but the Leafs arent looking to sign any high end UFAs Link to post Share on other sites

Marlies are in the Calder cup Final.Will it be a championship for MLSE finally?Forward scoring help does not = a prospect necessarily. 1. Trade Schenn for JVR2. Sign Schultz3. Pursue Luongo and then when Luongo ends up with someone else have Burke proclaim that "the asking price was not something we were willing to part with and NO I won't name any names."4. Sign a goalie like Vokoun and have Reimer and Scrivens battle for the backup. Link to post Share on other sites
Mercury69 3 Posted May 28, 2012 Share Posted May 28, 2012 With Scrivens playing the way he's been playing, maybe it's best to have both him and Reimer up and they can fight it out to see who the back up is. I honestly don't think goaltending is the biggest concern. Link to post Share on other sites

I honestly don't think goaltending is the biggest concern.Reimer looked good in the AHL too. Scrivens has a good AHL team in front of him right now. You would rather the better of Reimer/Scrivens serve as your starter and the worst of Reimer/Scrivens serve as your backup rather than have the better of Reimer/Scrivens serve as backup to a guy like Vokoun?What happens if the better of Reimer/Scrivens gets injured? You're willing to gamble the season on questionable goaltending.*Vokoun is only an example. Link to post Share on other sites
serge 904 Posted May 28, 2012 Author Share Posted May 28, 2012 I agree with Dale..Do not want to go into the season with only Reimer and Scrivens..Luongo would be ideal but I can live with a Vokoun type..Is Tim Thomas a possibility? Link to post Share on other sites

MapleLeafpoker 1,462 Posted May 28, 2012 Share Posted May 28, 2012 optionsa) Bernier or Schneider if at all possible.b) Luongoc) Harding+Vokoun together.d) Vokoun+Reim/Scrive) Thomas+Reim/Scriv (only cause I wouldnt trade for Thomas if Bos wants a lot, or else this is "c")F) Tank with Reimer+Scrivens.

MapleLeafpoker 1,462 Posted May 28, 2012 Share Posted May 28, 2012 I like Anders Lindback too.ya, forgot him, I like him too. Just a little more unproven then I would like.....I could see him+Vokoun as a nice combo.(thing is, I have no idea what kind of person Vokoun is in the room. You need a vet willing to teach/help, and not sulk if he doesnt get his old time 60gp) Link to post Share on other sites
