From what I have heard Brodin could be a fit for the Leafs. And the Leafs do have cap space, which Minni might need. But gotta think JVR doesn't have nearly as much value in trade value as Leafs Fans think. Thinking a deal is possible but with Minni taking guys on ELC or near NHL guys.....Kapanen, Hyman, Dermot for instance
.
Although Vegas might take some veterans, don't think guys with just one year left on their contract like Bozak would be in their sights. Leivo and Leipsic protected? Gee they don't see the ice as Leafs. Better to keep NHLer Dman Carrick...and if one Leivo or Leipsic are taken....so what.
That's not much for Nishkanen....two bare NHLers. Gotta believe others will offer more. Washington need some cap space though, I''d ever be willing to take 2 years of Orpik as a replacement for Hunwick. (if the Brodin deal doesn't happen)
Don't worry if Reilly is a # 1. Reilly, the Leafs, and Leafs fan can only hope he can play up to his capabilities. And if he's a # 2 (I hate rating players like this), so be it. A team with three # 2s, two # 3s, one # 4. can be quite successful.
