Fred Derf Veteran Posted January 11, 2008 Veteran Share Posted January 11, 2008 How much longer until a majour shakeup in Leafland? Oh, they're probably still thinking of qualifying for the playoffs and "making a run". If they don't trade Sundin for a useful player and a few picks this year then there is no hope for them. Give it up guys. This is not the squad (and realistically, this is not remotely the squad).

mikebiacsi Posted January 12, 2008 Share Posted January 12, 2008 He definitely is, but is Washington worth it? Not at the moment, but who knows what will happen in a couple of years time. Kudos to AO for sticking with them, if if was in his position (i can dream can't i?) i would have probably wanted to move to another team that has a better chance of winning the Stanley Cup (like Colorado for instance...)

Boffa Jones Veteran Posted January 12, 2008 Veteran Share Posted January 12, 2008 I know what you mean, but even to move to a team like the Rangers or Habs(...) or hell Detroit. Honestly, if he let himself become a free agent he could choose whatever team he wanted.

sn00pie Posted January 22, 2008 Share Posted January 22, 2008 Yeah, from what I've heard it was a dirty hit/play? I didn't get a chance to see what happened, so I don't really know. What do you guys reckon is going to be happening in Toronto? I personally see Fletcher coming in soon, but will Sundin really waive his no-trade clause?

I personally see Fletcher coming in soon, but will Sundin really waive his no-trade clause? If we had a GM with job security then they should get Sundin to waive his no-trade clause. Rent him to Philadelphia for Jeff Carter and a 1st round pick and then re-sign him as a free agent in July. We surely aren't going to need him this spring. Of course this would be dependent on whether or not Peter Forsberg returns. Apparently he is skating with Modo in Sweden. Now that Sidney Crosby is out, perhaps Pittsburgh will become a Sundin bidder. I'm now hearing that one month may be the optimal length of Sidney's absence. Other teams mentioned as being interested in Sundin has been Detroit, San Jose, Vancouver, Calgary, Dallas and Anaheim. Oh, and all that I read was that he (Sidney) fell awkwardly into the boards. I didn't see the play itself.

sn00pie Posted January 22, 2008 Share Posted January 22, 2008 I'd like to see Sundin in Vancouver. He's definitely the spark that's necessary to getting Naslund back to his sniper status. The Canucks do have a wide variety of young talent that could be parted for a Playoff performer like Sundin. I wouldn't mind seeing Alex Burrows or Luc Bourdon + 1st and/or 2nd round draft pick(s) for Sundin. Leafs will probably need to begin to rebuild if Sundin is traded and the only way to do that is start off with young talent. I'm watching the Pittsburgh/Washington game right now, it's a goal-scoring festival out there! :D Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/591891-national-hockey-league-2007-08-thread/page/8/#findComment-589152727 Share on other sites More sharing options...
digital vibe Posted January 22, 2008 Share Posted January 22, 2008 (edited) I'd like to see Sundin in Vancouver.

I'm watching the Pittsburgh/Washington game right now, it's a goal-scoring festival out there! :D I agree with what you said. It'd be excellent if the Canucks acquired Sundin. As for the Leafs, they need to rebuild from the ground up if they are to have any success in the future. I heard on HNIC and TSN that most of their players currently playing are locked in long term deals so the "success" if you want to call that the Leafs are having it isn't going to change unless some serious work is done. The struggle the Leafs are having reminds me of how Oilers were last season after Smyth left for NYI. I am also watching the Pens and Caps game. Quite good so far.

Fred Derf Veteran Posted January 22, 2008 Veteran Share Posted January 22, 2008 (edited) Rumours about that it is done. JFJ will be (or has been) fired by the Toronto Maple Leafs: http://www.thestar.com/Sports/article/296258 Also, Sidney's injury has been upgraded from one month to 6-8 weeks. Edit: The JFJ firing was confirmed at a press conference. Cliff Fletcher is now the Leaf's interim GM.

Fred Derf Veteran Posted January 22, 2008 Veteran Share Posted January 22, 2008 How to Fix the Toronto Maple Leafs: by DAVE PERKINS 1. Exhume Harold Ballard and make him chairman of the board. He, too, was a terrible owner, but at least he would make decisions, unlike this paralyzed collection of money changers who know puck-all. 2. Hand out designer bags for fans embarrassed to be seen in the Air Canada Centre. Pinstriped designer bags for the lower bowl, brown paper for the upper deck. Add a special Maple Leafs plastic bag for dog owners only, for use on pick-up duty. 3. Go completely into the tank. Buy out and release Tucker, Kubina and Blake, for starters. Pay Sundin whatever it costs to waive his no-trade clause, but accept only draft choices in return, because no one in power obviously can be trusted to judge incoming talent properly. 4. Into the tank II: Play Raycroft more. They're closing in on a shot at Steve Stamkos, the consensus No.1 draft choice. Finish 30th and the worst they'll pick is second overall, which, granted, still might be too far down the list for them not to screw up. 5. Sell the team to an owner who won't focus on hijacking stadiums from taxpayers, or the NBA, or soccer, or condo towers or 22 per cent profit margins. Sell to an owner with deep pockets who wants only one thing: A Stanley Cup regardless of what it takes or costs and who is smart enough to hire good people and stay out of their way. http://www.thestar.com/Sports/Hockey/article/294085 I love the concept of playing Raycroft more to ensure we end up 30th in the league (and thus get the best draft lottery pick). I also loved the puck-all comment. :D Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/591891-national-hockey-league-2007-08-thread/page/8/#findComment-589153925 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boffa Jones Veteran Posted January 24, 2008 Veteran Share Posted January 24, 2008 Toronto managed to pull off a win and shutdown Green and Backstrom :(. Other than that, here we go in Jersey.
