Highly unlikely Nashville gives up Ellis for that

Leafs would match any offer sheet do it would be pointless unless the price was way to high which no team would take because he’s not worth it.. He certainly has potential tho. And I just don’t think our back end is physical enough for teams like Boston who plays a big power forward game

not enough for Yandle IMO but I like the idea of Pittsburgh going for him.

no kidding, I’d even throw in Connolly + 2nd with them. Ryan will bring a decent return, maybe not what Anaheim wants but they will get something good

Shit, does Pittsburgh really need to get better? Shit, I'd say add Kubina on D and let it be. Probably the best top 6-9 in the league, amazing goaltending tandem, and strong, young, leadership. Shit, why not just go out and sign Jesus and Mohammed.

Why don’t you have any faith in Komisarek anymore? He’s played his best hockey’s as a Leaf under Carlyle. He will likely play upwards of 18 minutes a night with anyone of our many offensive minded dman.

Not saying its a bad idea but I’m not interested in Jurcina or Carlo at this point. Assuming there is a season I like the D as is. One of Holzer or Blacker will grab a spot and I’d like them to have a legit opportunity to see how they shape up.

I’d really like to get Franson locked up soon though. I know Burke likes to let this play of with his RFAs to get a good deal but this is pushing it. Surprised with all the teams looking for D that there hasn’t been whispers of an offer sheet. The compensation would be quite low.

They need a top pairing defenceman to play with Letang more than they need a winger like Ryan. They’ld be better off trading for a defenceman and making a play for Perry if he makes it to free agency. I think Yandle or Bouwmeester should be their top targets.
