Here is the Leafs line up as it is today. How would you make it better? I have listed pleayers who need to go or are foing this year. I have also listed the best Marlies prospects in order as well. I am interested in thoughts as to how to make this team better via trade.
Lupul (R)-------Bozak (R)-------Kessel (R)
JVR (L)---------Kadri (L)-------Clarkson (R)
Colborne----Bolland------Kulimen
McLaren---McClement----Orr
Phaneuf----Gunnarson
Franson----Frazer
Gardiner----Holzer/Reilly (switch)
Bernier
Reimer
With 4.895 million to resign both Kadri and Franson
-Players Leafs have to trade in NHL
Phaneuf-Kulimen-***
Liles***
-Players Leafs can afford to lose in NHL
Reimer-Colborne
Marlies
Defence best
--Blacker-Percy-Nilsson
Offence best
--Ashton-Damigo-McKegg-Leivo-Biggs-Ryan-Ross

What? Not sure if I follow your blog. What are you suggesting? You also forgot to add Ranger to the Leafs roster.
All they have to do is give Liles some PP time, rack up some points, then ship him back to Colorado for a pick. Roy will lose his mind with the D he has now. And send Kulemin to unite with Geno Malkin for Orpik (they need the cap space). Problems solved and use the space from Liles to resign Kadri/Franson. Go with these as lines: JVR/Bozak/Kessel... Lupul/Kadri/Clarkson... Colborne/Bolland/Ashton... who cares/who cares/ who cares... Guns/Dion... Gardiner/Orpik ... Franson/Fraser
