Thread: Toronto improvement (without Stammer)
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Leafsfan62</b></div><div><i>I agree with most of this. Changes I would make would be placing Marner in the lineup, moving Bozak at the draft to make way for Nylander on the 3rd line Center, and not taking on datsyuks contract. Despite it only being 1 more year, we need to make improvements now to avoid ending up like the oilers who are in a constant rebuild forever.</i></div></div>

Thanks for your comments, i appreciate your thoughts truly. I thought about most of this, but i figured, when you can get a good prospect for taking one year of a bad contract, when you're anyway nowhere near of being a contender, you should go for it. With Marner i think you should handle him like Nylander the year before, because he is like one year behind in his development. So you could get a good new prospect in step by step every year, in order to not be a bunch of inexperienced rookies and get pushed around.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>palhal</b></div><div><i>No this not an improvement. Lindberg will be with the Marlies. Where are Hyman, Soshinov, Brown, Leivo and Corrado, who are likely to earn spots on the Leafs.
An assumption that Robidas can be LTIR all season. Why would the Leafs help the Wings for so little and you don't even have Frk on the team. Marner not on team?
Michalek has a NMC. Do you think this is value for Pens....they save 1.7m on goalie contract, but Percy....he's not an NHLer. Yikes.</i></div></div>

Thanks for the feedback. Of course it's a improvement, because the plaayers in a rebuild most times unconditionally get better. I missed the NMC on Michalek, that was dumb. I certainly think the Fleury trade is fair, because the Penguins have to get rid of Fleury, a situation with Murray as the starter and Fleury as a backup would eventually be poison in the locker room. Additionally, Pittsburgh save Fleurys full 5.75 Million once Bernier is a UFA. Stuart Percy has a lot of upside and showed in the preaseason how good he could be one day. That's great asset management in terms of money (cap), chemistry and prospects.

The young guns you mentioned will be brought up, when the 1-year contract guys get flipped at the deadline.

I think you should get a little bit off your high horses with your attitude, it's not quite pleasent.
