Steve Stamkos?

For the Leafs I'd pretty much pass on that whole group, there's a few lower tier guys like Matt Martin and maybe Schlemko or another depth D that are financially less burdensome.

I think that Darren Helm is a ufa as well. 29 yo, making 2.1. Hmm. obvious babcock connection....

I'd probably do the same. I'd consider Stamkos, depending on the contract he's looking for, but I'd pass on the rest. They're mostly the types of guys the Leafs should be looking at developing in-house at this point.

Yeah, I mean sure, listen on Stamkos ( or whoever if they're going to give an extremely unlikely sweet deal ) but for the most part the Leafs are still in 'flip' mode I think. Depth bruisers might be ok, as long as they can skate and play the system but you're right, the Leafs should be looking to develop right now.

Between Laich, Michalek, Greening, Hunwick, the only UFAs we need at this point might be on the back end, depending on what long-term forwards get moved at the draft, of course.

Sure, though there is still a small part of me that would like to see Martin riding shotgun with Marner, at least for next year.

He will be the fulcrum of the Leafs Nation civil war to come once this season ends. Only Auston Matthews can save us from ourselves.
 
Well this is pretty interesting...

Blimey, they've been busy.  The Lupul trade article was also a reasonable attempt at some nibbles.

I liked the one that said that the Leafs forfeited their first round pick this year due to cap circumvention by placing Robidas on LTIR.  That one got me for a second.

I hate April fools day.
 
Well. This is no April fools joke. Stamkos out for the rest of the season

Very scary, especially after knowing how it forced Pascal Dupuis into early retirement.

Wish him the best. Leaf or not we need guys like him in the game.

You bet we do.  However, I'm now not so sure our Leafs should take a chance on signing him.  With his leg, and now this blood clot injury requiring surgery, I think that the risk he may turn out to be as injury prone as Lupul is somewhat higher now.  No?  :-\

I can't imagine we'd be too thrilled at having Stamkos on the injury reserve as much as Lupul, and, have him at near double Lupul's cap hit.  :(

Surgeons will likely remove Steven Stamkos? top rib on his right side today to alleviate pressure that caused a blood clot to form near his collarbone. ?It isn?t a rib like you?d think of, it is much smaller, more like the size of an index finger,? explained Dr. Thomas Forbes, vascular surgeon at Toronto?s Peter Munk Cardiac Centre. Forbes said that rib, which is bonded by the collarbone, constricts blood flow to the vein and can cause clotting with trauma or repetitive motion, such as raising your arms above your head. It isn?t easy to pinpoint a timeline for Stamkos? return; the Lightning said between one and three months. ?Normal recovery for range of motion and exercise would be about one month from just the surgery alone,? Dr. Forbes said. ?Doctors would then recommend some period of time on blood thinners, perhaps one month, which also complicates the timeline.? NHL players are not permitted to play games while on blood-thinning medication, as Chicago?s Kimmo Timonen revealed last year. A conservative doctor would peg a return to the ice in two months. Will Tampa Bay still be playing in early June?

Too many goal celebrations?
