Thread: take Smith to get Georgiev
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>ItWasIn</b></div><div>Andersen covers up a lot of warts for the Leafs. I know he wasn't as good this season, but I think fatigue might have been an issue. He reminds me a lot of Miikka Kiprusoff, in that the Leafs have ridden Andersen hard, he's bailed out the team on several occasions , but after a few years the play declines a bit. The Campbell deal should help that. I would look at keeping him. Also worth noting TOR is a very difficult city to be the #1 goalie in. His temperament is perfect for it.</div></div>

For the Leafs, I'd be vary cautious trading Anderson and bringing in a young backup goalie with no starter experience...Raycroft, Toskala, Bernier...too much disaster in recent history for the Leafs in the goalie position. This is the first time they have had a consistent goalie over numerous seasons in a long time. I'd rather ride out his contract while the team is competitive. You know what you are getting with him, Georgiev looks promising but like you said, he might not have the temperament for the position in TOR.

Thread: YzerMan year 1
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>aedoran</b></div><div>Yeah he started the season in Detroit and the offensive part of his game was great and he got sent to work on his defense. I don't know if Detroit would do it. I'm on the fence I think all the arguing with Winnipeg fans have made me more receptive to the idea. But at of the end of next season Detroit will loose 5 defensemen expiring contracts and retirement leaving DeKeyser and Bowey as the most experienced Dmen. I guess it depends on how worried Detroit is on that matter.</div></div>

They'll have the room to bring in a UFA or two if need be. I think Chowlowski should be part of their solution though. Hronek looked good late in the year and another year of experience will help his development. I'm also randomly a big fan of Joe Hickett's game, reminds me of Jared Spurgeon a bit (probably because of the size). I think he just needs an opportunity to prove he can play which he really hasn't had the opportunity behind the vets like Green, Kronwall, Ericsson. It'll be good for Detroit to move on from them IMO.

Also, I think it is a possibility Byram falls to Detroit at 6, which would be phenomenal for them.
