If the Leafs are starting over the first move they should make is a simple one, trade Bernier, every really bad team is a hot goalie away from being mediocre, if you're going to tank for McDavid- tank right:

To kill 2 birds with 1 stone:

Leafs-Oilers:

Leafs get Yakupov, Petry, Penguins 1st

Oilers get Bernier, Polak

Oilers get the goalie then sorely need and a gritty veteran d man to make them better now and in the near future, Leafs get worse

Next

Leafs-Kings

Leafs get Richards, Greene, McNabb, Forbert

Kings get Phaneuf, Smith, Holzer

Kings get minute eating d man for second pairing, cap relief in terms of amount Richards and Greene are playing, Leafs get worse

Next

Leafs-Aves

Leafs get ROR, Wilson

Aves get Bozak, Franson

Aves get d help they are looking for plus useful asset in Bozak, get rid of Wilson's contract, Leafs get worse

Next (saw this rumor and liked it)

Leafs-Jets

Leafs get Bogosian

Jets get Lupul, Gardiner, Granberg or a 3rd

Jets get offensive depth on forward and d for playoff run plus a prospect or pick, Leafs get worse

Next ( this is the big one)

Leafs-Coyotes

Leafs get H. Samuelson, P. Samuelson, Coyotes 1st

Coyotes get Kessel

Coyotes get star offensive player they need, Leafs get worse

So:

JVR. O'Reilly Santorelli
Komorov Kadri Yakupov
Winnik Richards Clarkson
Leivo/Booth Carrick Kozun/Bodie
Reilly Bogosian
Petry. Greene
Robidas Wilson
Pearcy, Samuelson

Reimer
Gibson

just stop, the leafscant tank for mcdavid. any reasonable deal wouldn't ake them bad enough to allow EDM and buffalo to make up 16 points, and since they're alredy ad enough to be in the lottery why make the team significantly worse to only improve their draft lottery chances a couple percent?


2.) 20 Jan 2015 23:04:49
Even if they don't get 1st overall, they would be in a position to realistically have 2 of the top 6 picks in the Draft Lottery (their own and Arizona) as well as a late 1st (from Edmonton) and many prospects as well as cap space to build with. It's a matter of turning problems into positive assets. Kessel, Phaneuf, Bozak, etc will never be able to get a fair shake in TO no matter how well they play (not that they are playing well), Kessel gets 30 goals a year, finishes top ten in scoring, makes Bozak and JVR better, but he doesn't back check hard enough and has a cheeseburger now and then and looks uncomfortable on camera, so the media and fans crucify him. Let's just move on, it isn't working, and with this current group of players it never will


3.) 21 Jan 2015 02:34:27
you can honestly believe kessel is a problem, can you? i'm not even going to argue you on that cause if you honestly do then there's nothign left to say.


4.) 21 Jan 2015 05:19:07
I'm saying the media and fans have turned on Kessel and this team, he is in a no win situation here, he could lead the league in goals, assists, +/- , toi, and corsi rating, and he would still be called one dimensional and out of shape. He is obviously uncomfortable with the media in this market and it is unfair to ask him to be something he is not, he is an offensive all star that is being derided for doing what he is supposed to do, let him go somewhere he will be appreciated for being him. Kessel is not Toronto's problem, but Toronto is Kessel's problem, if you can get a fair return move him on and try to improve the situation instead of repeatedly applying band aids to an obviously diseased limb


5.) IF Kessel is traded to Ari, Domi is involved


6.) 21 Jan 2015 15:46:55
You are probably right about Domi, and it would be a huge mistake. He's 5'9 180 lbs and from Toronto, the expectations on him to suddenly grow 6 inches and turn into a "prototypical" #1 centre would be mind blowing. He reminds me a lot of Kadri (only smaller) in both play and confidence and "fans" have been trying to run Kadri out of town since he got here

1.) So the isles trade 3 of their top prospects for a backup goalie, which they have one of already, an injury prone LW and an offense first dman. Why in the world would the isles do this. This is terrible


2.) 04 Jul 2014 22:57:35
Ruemer can be a starter and a very giid starter, I just know it. Unfortunatly not to a team like the isles will he be seen as a starter they hust signed halak. Any riemer trades are going to teams with serious goalie problems. Also, he's staying with the leafs at least till trade dealine 2015


3.) Epically bad proposal.
Halak and Johnson are better than Reimer so essentially he'd be their 3rd string. No thanks. Lupul is unnecessary (Isles are strong up front), plus he is overpaid and often injured. No thanks. Franson could be useful, but won't get you any of the players you listed coming from the Isles.
Really, really one-sided for the leafs and really, really bad for the Isles.

Hype is hype and is one concussion or injury away from being unreached. To give up as you suggest 2 recent top 10 picks, one of which with 2 years of Nhl experience (Nylander, Reilly) along with a proven young forward as well as what I would assume is another top ten pick + for any unproven player no matter how hyped is insane. Depth wins, teams win or Crosby and Malkin would raise the cup every year

Never expect oilers fans to say anything intelligent and they still always disappoint. If leaf players suck because the team sucks what does that say about the oilers players? RNH is a more fragile Kadri, Eberle is a smaller more overpaid JVR (although JVR is showing improvement every year while Eberle regresses), Hall is an even less proven Kessel and Yakupov isn't worth half a season of Lupul plus you have no one on d that even deserves to be mentioned in the same breath as Phaneuf or Reilly (and I'm not a huge fan of either). All 4 of those players were going to be the "next one" when you drafted them too, remember that. I remember the Lindros trade when one team gave up a bunch of picks and players for "the next one" and never won a thing, while the other team used those assets to win the cup. "Stars" don't win Cups, teams do!
