Two first-round picks in the next three years – taken at the discretion of the Leafs prior to the selection at the draft. "That would allow the Leafs the opportunity to maximize the picks." The Leafs would demand a second-round pick in the year they didn't take a first-rounder.

I kind of like Esposito's proposal the best.. especially if the Leafs decide to toss either Toskela or Tucker into that mix and add a couple more 1st round draft picks for the 2009 draft.
Anything to get a good lottery shot at John Tavares.

That deal for the Wings would work for me but I can't really say the Wings need another center when they have so many natural centers playing the wing. I guess if you add Sundin, Zetterberg can be his left wing. Datsyuk seems to be more than capable of centering his own line. A second line with Sundin and Zetterberg would be a nightmare matchup for teams in the playoffs.

I'm with you that the Pittsburgh deal looks best but I can't imagine the Penguins giving up that much young talent for a guy with not many years left. He would be a great compliment to Crosby though.

I kind of like that Ottawa proposal as well...Vermette and Meszaros are good young players plus those two picks would be nice but they'll be at the back-half of the round.

I think you ultimately have to look at moving Sundin from a Leafs perspective. This looks like a lost season.

I have to agree with you, from the Penguins outlook, they probably wouldn't want to give up that much for Sundin.
Which is why I suggested exapanding the deal to include Toskala... a goalie that could carry them or Tucker, the gritty veteran Gary Roberts type forward that they need too.

Those additions would make them serious contenders to go deep into the playoffs, if not all the way to the Cup finals...

And they have the cap room to handle it.

Another rough night for LeafsNation...blew a 2-0 lead in the third and lost. Unlike the Sens, they weren't able to pull the game out. A point out of last place in the East...something has got to happen soon.

That game for the Sens was costly...Heatley out 4-6 weeks with a seperated shoulder.

The axe has to fall this coming week or else there'll be a full out attack on MLSE and the teachers pension fund from all media, season's ticket holders and the fans.... enough is enough. If nothing happens, then it'll be obvious to everyone (even the myopic Leaf fan like Hap) that the Leafs ownership and management simply doesn't give a shit about winning or building a winning product.

Let me guess, Shoalzie, you have Heatley on your fantasy hockey team right? :P

He might as well be...

I love that trade I just made...Lupul gets hurt right after I get him.

Jeff Carter's name is geting tossed around as part of a potential trade for Sundin. Flyers have a lot of draft picks but it'll be intersting to see if Holmgren has the balls to make a deal of this magnitude.
