Why would LA trade a promising young defenseman for goalie that has been run out of town 2 times in the past 12 months?

If you guys get him, it's for another overpaid player. You'll probably have to take a bigger hit. Or get someone who you would have to waive, because there totally useless but didn't make much, and was still overpaid (yes I realize I made a very long sentence), like Marc Chouinard.

Best case scenario, Raycrap and a high pick (2nd or 3rd round) get traded for a 4th, maybe 3rd line player, or a journeymen type of prospect.

Honestly, it would hurt you more Cap wise to trade him, or you just get less then his value is if he's making, let's say 1.3 million. He's not that bad of a goalie, so you might as well keep him as a backup, and not give him AND decent prospect and/or a mid draft pick.

Raycroft to L.A. for a 08 2nd round pick and a 09 fourth round pick.

Kubina, Steen or Stajan, and Tlusty or Williams for Marleau and a 08 2nd round pick. I would guess Steen would have to go.

Sign Peca 1yr 2million and Cujo 1yr 750K.

Blake        Marleau        Welly
Antro        Sundin           Poni
Tuckers     Stajan           Bell
Kilger        Peca             Devs
ex:Battes, Pohl, Gamache
McCabe        Kaberle
Coli            Kronvall
Gill             White
ex:Belak, Harrison, Woznewski
Toskala
Cujo

But all of that makes to much sense, so I don't seeing it happening. Sure would be a nice line up, of course the leafs would have to sign Marleau to a multi year deal. He would be a great fit to take over as the captain once Mats retires.

if raycroft is traded for anything less then a 1st rounder or something of equal value then JFJ should lose his job

first of all, san jose is going to want a lot for marleau, not just kubina and two prospects, especially considering toronto doesnt have any top prospects to give up….secondly, even if they accepted that deal for some reason, marleau is going to be asking for around 6 mil or higher, way above the four you are offering

Trade him to LA for Richard Petiot. Hes a strong mobile defenseman with great size and mobility. Exactly the kind of defenseman the Leafs need.

Just wait and see how this platoon works out

don't worry Razor is gone by next season there is no way we are spending 6m

on goaltending. Just get his let him play and hopefully he does really

really well and then trade himto the highest bidder at the trade deadline

I could see tampa in need for a goaltender sometime this season get some

picks from them JfJ but wait untill hopefully Razor's stock rises

which should with this tandem
