shiznak Posted June 6, 2012 Share Posted June 6, 2012 Trades: To Toronto: Roberto Luongo To Vancouver: Cody Franson Matthew Lombardi Brad Ross Conditional pick I don't care how desperate Burke is to find a goalie, there's no way that he'd overpay for an aging Luongo, considering there's other younger options out there. So, people asking for Gardiner, the 5th pick, or even Schenn could keep dreaming. Imo, Franson is more of a complete defensemen out of the three. He's can play on the powerplay and kill penalties, plus he's still fairly young. Lombardi is a huge risk, after his concussion, but if he's healthy he couple replace Kesler on the second line for the time being. Once Kesler gets back, he could play the wing on the second line or center the 3rd line with Hansen and Raymond. Brad Ross is one of the Leafs' best peospect in their system. He's basically an Alex Burrows type of player, a guy who you hate to play against but love on your team and who can produces offensively as well. The conditional pick could be a 1st rounder, if the Leafs make the playoffs or a 2nd rounder if the Leafs don't. UFA/RFA Signings: Cody Franson - 4 yrs/11.2M (2.8M per year) Cory Schneider - 5yrs/14M (4M per year) Mason Raymond - 1yr/2M Brett Clark - 1yrs/ 2.5M Colin Fraser - 3yrs/3M (1M per year) Dan Ellis - 1yr/1M Line-up (w/o Kesler): D. Sedin - H. Sedin - Burrows Higgins - Lombardi - Booth Hansen - Lapierre - Raymond Fraser - Malhotra - Kassian Weise Edler - Bieksa Franson - Hamhuis Clark - Ballard Tanev Line-up (w/ Kesler): D. Sedin - H. Sedin - Burrows Higgins - Kesler - Booth/Lombardi Hansen - Lombardi/Lapierre - Raymond/Booth Fraser - Malhotra - Lapierre/Kassian Kassian/Weise Edler - Bieksa Franson - Hamhuis Clark - Ballard Tanev Roughly about 3.6M of cap space left.

Smashian Kassian Posted June 6, 2012 Share Posted June 6, 2012 I like the Toronto move. But Raymond needs to go and we also need a different top 6 winger, Higgins should just stay on the 3rd. I also would like a new 3rd line center, and also to maybe move Manny (for cap space). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shiznak Posted June 7, 2012 Author Share Posted June 7, 2012 I think Raymond has one more year to prove himself, then he'll become an UFA after next season. His value isn't worth much, so there's no point in trading him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zoolander Posted June 7, 2012 Share Posted June 7, 2012 Eder and Bieksa sucked as a pairing, I like the Idea of getting Franson, but if that's all we got, we'd need to get Garrison and/or Wideman/Allen If Florida is as interested in Luongo as the reports say (which is dumb because they have Markstrom) than I'd go To FLA-Luongo,Alberts,2nd rd pick To VAN-Weiss ***Sign Garrison Sedin-Sedin-Burrows Booth-Weiss-Kesler Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
