Edler on Boston would have sucked for Eastern teams that aren't Boston. They'll definitely circle back on him in the summer though.

CarltonTheBear said:You'd have to add. Like a 1st rounder or equivalent at least.
CarltonTheBear said:The Boston Globe is reporting that the Bruins had a deal in place with Vancouver to acquire Edler but it hinged on Kesler being moved first. If the Canucks really do make him available Nonis' 1st, 2nd, and 3rd priorities this offseason should be to trade for either Edler or Byfuglien.
princedpw said:My understanding is that Byfuglien isn't that good defensively. We really don't need a big shot on the back-end. We need a guy who can play transition, the neutral and defensive zones.

Franson, Reimer, Raymond out and you've convinced Bolland to sign for one year at that hit... not very likely but then there's that amount of cap space for whatever deal you could make otherwise. Komarov on a 4 year deal? I hate that number now but he might be worth it as the seasons go.
Gnarly cap space left over...

BlueWhiteBlood said:The defense would have to include another top 4 player for me to accept it. Maybe part of a trade at the draft, or free agent. I'd be willing to drop Ranger from the mix in exchange for an upgrade further up the line up.
A Weekend at Bernier's said:I'm intrigued by J oe. What was his save percentage?

The way I see it, barring some trades etc., the Leafs don't have a lot of choices there, there is not a lot of cap space if that's the limit they have.
I mean, looking at that lineup one has to ask 'keep Bolland or keep Reimer', they could do one but not both.
BlueWhiteBlood said:Yeah, it would be tight, but if they really have aspirations of contending, I think they need to address that issue. Maybe I'm wrong and one of Jake or Morgan slips in there, but I'm thinking not yet, certainly on the defensive end of things.

They need to be patient too, the Leafs aren't one year away from contending. I think Rielly is going to be a steal two years from now and a big cap hit in three, hopefully worth every penny... maybe it's Jake that takes a step up next year, I think it's his turn but if not the Leafs should really remain as calm as possible here...

This.
Way too many fans expecting big things from this team NOW. The teams weakest link is at D, mainly because 2 rookies are logging big minutes, and learning how to play in their own end against the best players in the world. Nonis either trades Reilly and Gardiner for veteran defensemen, or continue to take their lumps and stay patient. I'm for the latter.
