You must be one of those Leafs fans who believe their players are worth their weight in gold. Who the heck would give you Hudler and all those picks you want for Sundin? Also, why would Jordan be traded for Wellwood and Kubina. You do not make any sense and/or rationale for your trades….oh I forgot you are a Make Beliefs Fan.

The next 2yrs are very strong drafts. The Leafs should try to unload as much as possible to get as many picks in the next 2 drafts. It is funny that they are mentioning this now, and there must of been about 20 posts just on this exact topic. Its like that guy in the back that says hey I got an idea and it ends up being the same thing you've been talking about for hours.

if the leafs would just go out and spend some money on some real talent instead of playing with the used to be good players then maybe they might put together a good team.everyone wants to trade away sundin,hes your top scorer!!!! why not get rid of the up and down antropov or ponikarovsky i like tucker but how long they gonna keep this guy around,he's not the same guy he once was.i think toskala is gonna be a good goalie for some time ,so why are they keeping on to raycroft he should be playing in the minors.heck they would be better to bring back cujo as a backup at least he'll give ya some wins and pay with some consistancy!!!!
