Might as well get her started.

Which team is going to shock us next year, got a feeling Tampa will open up a bit more, getting Stamkos.

LEAFS!

Obviously there needs to (and will) be some major re-construction over the summer. Rumour is Ron Wilson will be our next coach, but I tell ya, I'd like to see Tortorella get the job. Even if we lose every game, he'll be entertaining enough.

Kubina's gonna be gone. Sundin maybe (swear to God, if he signs with another team after refusing to be traded, I will hate him). Tucker, I wouldn't be surprised. McCabe, I hope so. Prolly a couple of the younger guys at least, I'd bet Stajan and Wellwood.

My God, it'd better be a whole new team come fall

I wonder if the Pens will sign Hossa to a contract if he is willing, I mean he was pretty stellar for them throughout the playoffs.

The league asked the Leafs not to announce the hriing of wilson until the playoffs were done. I like Kubina and I hope he comes back. He got too much grief ala Hal Gill who I thought never should have been dealt. Stajan is going to be toronto's next captain so he'llbe back. Wellwood is gone, McCabe is gone, Sundin SHOULD be gone, Tucker will probably be gone, and I wouldn't be surprised if blake is dealt. Raycroft obviously won't be back so hopefully the leafs promote Pogge.
As for the draft, Filiatov might fall to the leafs because of the trouble nhl teams have getting players from russia. If not him, I'd like the Leafs to take Beech.

Kubina's no trade clause is off for like the first week or 2 of July I think, so I'm sure he'll be dealt.

I hope they don't bring up Pogge. Let him mature a couple more years. Toskala is a good starter, and Raycroft is ok as a backup.

Dunno. Pens have a shit ton of free agents this year, and atleast half the list was a huge part of the run this year. If they do try to resign Hossa, I wouldn't be surprised if it was a 1 year deal.

All teams free agent list: http://hockeyworld.wordpress.com/2008-nhl-free-agents/

Shit, looks like the Pens are are going to have a hellish off-season, I seriously doubt we will see the same team that went into the playoffs, but in my opinion, they NEED to keep Malone, Hossa, and Fleury at the least.

lookwhat montreal did with price, what pittsburgh did with fleury, we need to bring him up. Raycroft was AWFUL. Kubina in my opinion was our best second half d man. i want him back.

Yeah. Price worked out. Fleury's good now, but the first time he was brought up was another story. Don't wanna shellshock Pogge.

habs would be dumb to trade considering he's an upcoming FA.

And to reply to a privious post, Tampa is going to be in shanbles. Horrible ownership, no secondary scoring, no defence, Ramo is another year awayand Lecavlier ain't gonna stick around.

Tucker isn't going anywhere unless he changes his mind on waiving his NTC. It would make no sense to buy him out. To all you Leaf fans that think there is going to be this big massive player change you are wrong. You will trade and get rid of 3 or 4 guys at the most. Sundin will most likely be back, Tucker ain't going no where, Blake will be dealt, one or both of McCabe and Kubina will be back.

Pfft, it's easy to decide which goalie to root for, Marc-Andre Fleury.

While I do enjoy Fleury, as he is excellent, I cannot root for a team whose captain I despise (Disclaimer: I dont mind the Pens, I woudl root for them if Crosby was traded)

While Zetterberg is an amazing player, Fleury should have gotten the Conn Smythe. Awesome all playoffs and gave the Pens a chance all Final long.

Sundin will most likely be back, Tucker ain't going no where, Blake will be dealt, one or both of McCabe and Kubina will be back.
The leafs are probably gonna buy out a good amount of players. From Wilson's interview he didn't seem too keen on tucker coming back. I think Blake will be gone, McCabe will be gone, Wellwood will be gone and Tucker will be gone. I'd hate to see them get rid of Kubina, although he has a two week window where his NTC isn't in effect so there's a chance he'll be dealt.

You will read a lot about teams contemplating buyouts over the next two weeks as the NHL's first buyout period opens June 15th.


In Toronto, Darcy Tucker is considered a target - which doesn't make sense.


To buy Tucker out, the Maple Leafs would have to pay out two-thirds of his remaining contract value: $9 million … that amounts to a six million dollar buyout and cap hit for 6 years.


Is the threat of a buyout supposed to scare the 33-year-old Tucker, who scored 18 goals last year, into waving his no-trade? His agent, Carlos Sosa says there is no chance of that happening.


The ongoing speculation Tucker will be bought out would severely undercut any leverage the Leafs have, assuming that is, Tucker had a change of heart and would be willing to move.


With 6 million of Toronto's dollars stashed in his pocket, Tucker would have the financial freedom to consider multiple offers he would be sure to receive from managers eager to bring in his grit and experience at a lower cap hit of say, 1.5 to 2 million dollars.


The San Jose Sharks were among the teams who made a strong play for the Tucker at the deadline, so the arrival of Ron Wilson as the Maple Leafs new head coach could change Tucker's stature in the organization.


Wilson acknowledged at his welcome to Toronto press conference that the Maple Leafs may have to take a step back to go ahead.

Darcy Tucker would be way ahead … financially, if rumor turned to reality.

Tucker doesn't backcheck AT ALL. He's a shadow of his former tough self and the Leafs would be wise to deal him now while they can get something for him.

Everyone rebounds once they leave the Leafs. We deal Raycroft, I bet he wins the Vezina next year.

Tucker is an awesome player and he will get A LOT of action if he gets bought out. I would love to see him in a B's uniform.

Looks like TML is not getting rid of the GM this year.

I have one small annoyance with the coaching change.
You can have the best coach ever on the bench, but he needs good players on the ice.
