But now what are the option for "Kovy" ? i just saw something else on RDS and now it's for sure i think , he won't be back next year! So what can we do him(Trade,Waiver or else?). Also i heard that if a team bough a player out( exp.Samsonov)2/3 of his salary would count against the cap next year, is that true?

i think the most likely to make the team next year is o'byrne...as for the forwards, it all depends on what they do in the offseason. i dont think jancevski is in the team's plans. he's not really a prospect he's in his mid 20's already. but o'byrne will fit nicely as a 6th Dman, definately ahead of jancevski on the depth chart.

grabovski has the tools, but hes really frail. he's had a few injury problems in hamilton, no doubt because of his size. i have no clue what to make of him. but kostitsyn jr. might make the team if he has a great camp; dale hunter was raving about him this week, saying his defensive game is much more polished than the average 20 year old.

Thats good news. Hopefully Souray will return as well. Samsonov will not be returning next season. Bob Gainey said that if he can't trade him, they will buy out his contract. For more, go to http://www.tsn.ca/nhl/teams/news_story/?ID=203630&hubname=nhl-canadiens

I just heard on RDS that "Kovalev" warn "Gaigney" that if he was planning to use him the same way MTL did last year that he would'nt return in a "Habs" uniform next year ( WHooooooo hoooooo Yeahhhhhhhhhhhhh there is a god!) All this after he(Kovy) learn that team Russia Didn't want he's sorry ass in there line up, anybody surprise, What did "Kovalev"s 47 pts supose to impress anybody. The only team Kovalev would make and be there top player would be teams like Japan, Germany, Nepal, Laos... Ha! Ha! Ha!

ps: Why won't you just f--K off allready, can't you see that your unwanted. Goodbye KOVALAZY!

You know i hate the "Leafs" but you guys are exagerating a little, Kaberle' s in top five dman in the league , "Coli" is getting better every minute, Pogge will be a (Turco) style goalie ( that's pretty good) and on top you would give up "Wellwood and Tlusty" look it's like i said i hate the Leafs but i know good players when i see one. Your a "leafs"s fan i can't believe you would part with "Kaberle" that easy! I'm a habs fan and i would trade Souray anyday for Kaberle he's just so smooth the way he skates and passes, anyway no way that i would trade my top player (Kaberle) along with, not one , not two or either three prospects but your woul offer 4 top prospects, for what? A guy that had a 50 season a one Stanley cup ( because of Khabibulin not Vinny), i think that there is too much hype around Vinny.

I didn't add Jovo, because he hasn't had a good season in like 4 years, and is always injuried.

As a Leafs fan I can say if I could get any one player in the league other than Crosby it would be Lecavalier.

He's one of the very best in the league and in my mind he does it all, an elite point scorer, big center, can hit can fight has won it all before and is just hitting his prime with many more years left I would build a team around him.

You would need a crazy trade to pry him away for the Leafs it would have be something like: Kaberle, Coliacovo, Pogge, Tlusty, Wellwood maybe.

How about "Jancevski", do you think is ready? One more thing, i think that "Grabovski" is NHL ready and will play next year but who out of those players will get call up next year, Price, Urquart, Locke(24 years old), Chipchura, O,byrne, Maxwell or Kostitsyn jr. ?

Listen, this is Vinny first year over 40 goals and 100 pts for 7.2 mil/year he should get these number every year since he got into the league 7 years ago but his best season was what about 80 pts, explain to me why this guy is so great this is the first year he gets something even close to these numbers , and his team always finish in one of the worst defensivly every years, isn't it so that if your an MVP like you said type player and you play with great linemate ( Richard, Prospal, St-Louis, and boyles) isn't your team supose to be one of NHL 's top 5, these guys all play over 25 minutes a games,( more than any foward in the league) , One more thing if you have a player like "Vinny" on your Team you won't have enough cash to afford a good team, unless you have a roster fill with good rookies, well your in trouble. I think this trade could be good for bot team, about 9.2mil going to MTL, about 6.8, 2 NHL ready players and a third rounder going to MTL, and 4 ready NHLers a a first round draft pick going to Tampa, that's 3 prospect and two vets going to Tampa and would fill the roster much better than with Vinny and Prospal in there line up. In Tampa 5 players are making a total of 28 mil/year and will have a tone of RFA and UFA to sign in the summer and all this with no space, also Tampa only have 3 natural winger on there team and also in urgent need of a good young Goalie (Kovy, Perez,Halak) and also need established d-man (Dandenault), on top of all this they would get a prospect of there choice a the 2007 NHL entry draft (Around 23rd overall). So what else do you want for overrated Vinny, and who else would give more?

well all the guys mentionned are better all around leadership aside so he doesn't even come close to top 5….i know he is probably the 2nd most iomportant player to the team (after huet) but he still not among elite of dmen in league….so many guys doing much better!
