Realtor Rod Posted October 26, 2016 Share Posted October 26, 2016 Not sure if anyone heard it but Babcock was angry about the goaltending in Toronto. Andersen and Enrith are not the stable pair they require. Maybe a deal of Miller to T.O. could net an exposable goalie and get us a nice prospect and/or pick and give them a a stable goalie. Fleury is also a candidate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Green Building Posted October 26, 2016 Share Posted October 26, 2016 We already have an exposable veteran G under contract. I doubt very highly that JB moves Miller to the Leafs, or anywhere else, this early in the season. Unless, of course, someone overpays, and they won't, because why would they? Leafs are in the same situation Edmonton is in, they need defenceman to help their goalies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue Jay 22 Posted October 26, 2016 Share Posted October 26, 2016 I can't imagine them giving up on Andersen this quickly after dropping $25 mil on him in the offseason. Nor can I imagine the Leafs spending $11 mil AAV on their goaltending. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

-SN- Posted October 26, 2016 Share Posted October 26, 2016 They're not even looking. They're all in at 5 for 5 with Anderson. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stelar Posted October 26, 2016 Share Posted October 26, 2016 They don't require stable goaltending. They are building through the tank. This year and probably next are write offs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lousy defense can make a good goalie look ordinary or even poor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strombone Posted October 26, 2016 Share Posted October 26, 2016 JB drafted Miller. He's not gonna punish him by sending him to the Leafs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nucker 67 Posted October 26, 2016 Share Posted October 26, 2016 Don't think JB would be comfortable with a Markstrom/Enroth pairing moving forward (assuming Enroth comes back in a trade). Miller is a good goalie and the Canucks need him this year. Markstrom will be the starter next season. At least I think that's their plan. What I do like though, is the Canucks would get something back for Miller before he walks after the season. Hmm, Enroth (28) and Markstrom (26) for the next 2 years, then enter Demko to back up Markstrom. Maybe if TOR threw in a 2nd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's the most important part of the equation from our viewpoint. That, and even though our D corps has been re-vamped it is yet to prove that we can we can remove a vet for another piece without losing more than we win. So again, no. It makes no sense.

Nuxfanabroad Posted October 26, 2016 Share Posted October 26, 2016 Terrific timing to troll TO's 'tending-timidity... Miller for Andersen(they retain 50%)..perhaps then we'd consider: Tanev for Nylander? Maybe they throw in a 2nd? Quick! Get Andersen to leave the practice ice, so we can chat on the tele!..CHUMPS!!(gt'ing karma) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
