One of my fondest TMLFans memories was when a bunch of us registered for accounts on his forum/site and started posting there for a day or two.

Essentially that's what the 3rd is for. It's Gudas for a 2nd, then a 3rd to take Zaitsev. Remember, Zaitsev isn't a true, useless anchor. He's just not worth his contract. He could be a useful player for Philly, especially if he's used in an offensive role.
So there are no rumors? The trade deadline is tomorrow. What do you guys think? Is Dubas going to do anything? I will say that it sounds like teams have the book on the Leafs and all they need to do is play a hard physical game with them. I do have my concerns with Boston seeing as they are our most likely first round opponent. We may be able to beat them with skill but we may also walk away from the series as walking wounded (if we can even get past them). Muzzin seems like our only player with a physical edge. It's kind of impossible to re-tool the team for the playoffs now. And who knows, the Leafs might just do ok. Babcock's gotta teach these guys to keep their head up and avoid the big hits. I hope Kadri is ok.

I think right now it's as much about not having the assets/prospect depth to make a trade as anything else. They don't have their 1st, they've traded two of probably their top 6 or 7 prospects, they can't really any money past this year...I don't think you want to trade any more first or second rounders and so you're left with pretty minor upgrades available

Those recalls likely had more to do with playoff eligibility.
Former Soo Greyhound and "guy all of Leafs Twitter wanted in 2017" Colin Miller has been healthy scratched a couple of times in a row now by Vegas. Wonder if the Leafs try and see if there's anything there. His contract (3 years after this one at $3.875mil) would of course be tough to fit in.
I have no idea how the cap is going to work next year? Fan590 has Kapanen's cap hit coming in at 5M-ish, Johnsson at "at least 3M". I cannot predict anything that happens with the Leafs today. I guess we just trade from an area of strength for an area of weakness and try to shed Zaitsev/Brown in off the season?CarltonTheBear said:

If the sens acquire Zaitsev I'll vow to start capitalizing the s.

The Fan's absurd. No way Kapanen comes in over even $4mil. It'll be a 1 or 2 year deal.
Even with the possible subtractions Zaitzev/Gardiner/Hainsey/Brown we still can't add any meaningful salary. Any talk of anyone with term just doesn't add up.
