Too many things have to go right for the jovo to NYR trade to be made, so it is unlikely to happen. I could see Morris get traded but I think that many teams will come knocking on Phoenix's door for Nick Boynton, who will still have a 1 year left at 2.9 million at season's end. He is a premier stay-at-home defensemen that many teams lack.

I agree with you, we will trade McCabe to the Rangers for Jagr's dirty jock. Then we will get all the Leafs to smell it to wake em up. Please take him Rangers, he's really really good.

Jovo would be a nice addition to the Rangers blueline...I hope it never happens. lol

This would fit in well. Another vastly overpaid player to add to the bunch.

I'm pretty sure that the no-trade clause is still in effect.

QUESTION...

If Jovo waives his no-trade clause, does that mean it is void for the rest of his contract or is it still in effect with a new team?

While I don't see Jovo going anywhere unless the team is willing to give up a major portion of their future, the Yotes would be dumb not to trade Morris. He's overpaid for what he does, and they're still in rebuilding mode. At his age his value is more for current playoff teams. Ripping a young defenseman and a top 6 forward that makes less than him from someone for Morris would be smart. If someone is willing to eat his crazy contract and give the Yotes value in return why not do it?

Rangers should get Jovonowski. They need a quarterback for their pp. Jovo is not going to do anything for the Desert Dogs. They are the worst team in the league and would remain the same for a long while.

Flyers may want Morris because they let Pitkanen walk. And they will be fully capped with their next acquisition. That's a good thing. Then they will settle down and play the rest of the year without rocking the nhl too much.

As far as Leaf defensemen are concerned, please no one touch them. They will be fine in the Tor uniforms. All 15 mil tied in 3 defensemen. Let Tor pay for their foolish or lavish signing of these D. Looks good on JFJ. The Leafs will continue to struggle to make the playoffs again.

I think the leafs are a good team too, but I'd rather have

- a 2 million dollar stay-at-home bruiser dman
- 3 million in cap room

than

pavel kubina.

I think kaberle is a fantastic pp qback, and despite mccabe's suckiness on D, I think he's an important part of the team too.

but, kaberle, mccabe AND kubina is too many. I think kaberle is the best of the three (the guy is like 90% breaking the zone on the pp), so one of the other two should go.

A valid point, but knowing Glen Sather, he is likely to want to give us crap for those players, in which case I would rather keep them than give Sather the satisfaction. Besides, once we give the Leafs time to gel, I like the pieces they've assembled, including their depth on D, and they have the potential to have a highly successful season. We have the makings of a good team, I don't care what people say.
