The Leafs are in a rare situation in the NHL as most of the teams are going to loose money the Leafs are going to continue making money so if I were the Manager I would make the following moves that frankly I think Burke will.
First the UFAs that he will go after are the following:
H. Sedin, D. Sedin because Burke has a history and they are solid top 6 forward
Mike Camilleri because he will be a good fit in the top 6 especially PP.
Todd Bertuzzi can be had for 1 Million per annum and he would be a good 2nd line PP guy as well as bottom 6 forward.
Niedermyer brothers will fit nicely one as a top d man and the other as top 6 forward.
Jay Bomeister is young and can be had for the right price.
In order to make space some assets will have to be moved like Kabby, Kubina, probably at the draft for higher pics and prospects. Kabby and Kubina make about 10 million per season.
Out will be Poni, Stempniak, Blake, these three guys make about 10 million per annum.
Not out of the question would be to get Pronger and have him be the mentor to Schenn.
This team would have the Balls and the skill to do some damage in the play-offs and there is space to develop a core of young guys.
This is the begining of a solid culture of players and the mentorship to develop for years to come frankly on the Wings are doing this right now and they make it look like their pulling a rabbit out of their a$$. They the defending cup champions develop thier assets to an elite level.
What the fuck is wrong with this site? my messages aren't posting!!
well, that one worked.. lol
oh what the fuck
youd think the increase in seasons pass sales would allow them to fix something like this
This is a fantasy team... it is not possible to sign every decent free agent, believe it or not.
it'll never happen dude. Nor would i want burke to fill this team up with that many UFAs
I'd like to know how he is gonna get rid of Blake?
Yea really, there is no way to get rid of blake without taking a big stupid contract back. Your dreaming man, I love the leafs but you've had a few too many glasses of lake ontario water.
Wow! What a fantasy land you live in!!!!
Usually the postings don't work when they are too long!
Burke for Godship!
So the Leafs will become the The Caducks.
Wow... I hope this was intended to be one of those Wayan Bros movies that mocks reality!
this is easily the dumbest plan for making a hockey team I have ever seen. anywhere.
Not only is this dumb, but you would think Walrus would at least check to make sure the players' names are spelled correctly. Epic Fial all around.
I don't like to say bad things about postings, but this is nothing short of completely asinine, ludicrous, and flatout bulls**t. And I'm saying that as a Leaf fan that watches 82 games a year. Posts should be realistic. I'm disappointed in Hockeybuzz for even allowing this to be posted.
I don't even know what to say...what a horrible, horrible, idiotic and pointless blog. Please never post anything like this ever again.
BAHAHAHHAHALet's get Crosby and Ovechkin too...and than Luongo
