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

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.
