Toronto traded Verhaeghe for Grabner? LOL
Verhaeghe looks like a player with Tampa!!

Committing beyond that as "core" is pure folly. As it stands those 5 guys account for half of their total team cap hit.
Hilariously Toronto currently has over $94M in salary on the books.....that's $9M more than the next team on the list. And that's with a 22 man roster!
How is it that they can have that much tied up and still have 6 forwards, 5 defensemen, and a goalie, needing new deals? None of said forwards are making even $1M, and only 2 of the defensemen make over $3M.
They are SO boned.

Vancouver could be on a 20-game unbeaten streak, and the Toronto Sports Network and LeafsNet will be obsessing over the latest Bitch-Marner-with-a-cute-kitten pic. That's life when the sports media landscape has been skewed so towards one city - and Torontonians wonder why everyone else in Canada would dance a jig if the GTA was wiped off the map.
Its sad. I wonder if they could get unicef to make a donation box and collect for suicide awareness in the GTA area every april?

Did you see Sandin at the World Juniors? He's NHL ready.

A trade for 1 more Dman will likely happen.
Leaf fans hear every year LLeafs are doomed and everyome is leaving. No worry here.
Sure, he'll do his share of rookie mistakes, kids sometimes forget to play it safe, but hey - I'd want him on my team any day.
Too bad he ended up in Toronto... I still feel sorry for Salming and Sundin never getting a fair shot at a cup.
