the reason i think he's trading some excellent young talent is because Toronto as it is built now is ready to win the cup now with all the players in its lineup aging. The people of Toronto have been waiting for a cup for 30+ years.
We're almost close to getting defenseman Glen Wesley from the Carolina Hurricanes last time I heard.
They are looking to get 2 defenseman by trade deadline. Aaron Miller and Mathieu Schneider's names have popped up today in rumours coming to toronto.
I also heard about the Edmonton Oilers and Toronto swapping Janne Niniema to Toronto for Darcy Tucker and a draft pick.
I like the Glen Wesley deal. All the Canes want in return is a draft pick...possibly 3rd or 4th round pick.
And if the Leafs can pick up one of Miller or Schneider....the Leafs defense will at least be decent. |
