It would be fun to watch a guy like Ryan on a daily basis, he would be one of our only guys who just a busts out a random nice dangle here and there
 
Don't get me wrong, would much rather a center or goalie, but making a move doesn't mean you cannot make any more moves. In no universe does Ryan being on our team hurt the Leafs.
 
What does being a homer have to do with it? So, he's tight with the Leafs, hangs around the team all day everyday, GEE, maybe he might have a source or two with the team then?

If a Anaheim reporter told their fans that the Ducks were looking at Kessel would you take it at face value? The guy is looking for attention.

That's ridiculous. I'm not giving it less or more credit because its Jonas, don't know why you have these qualifications. The beat reporters are around the team, they HEAR things ya know.
 
I don't see what the problem is here. So instead of having 3 legit top 6 wingers, we now have 4, meaning we can deal someone like Kulemin, or let MacA walk.

Yes, we could use those assets to shore up other areas instead, but I'm sure Burke would have done that if possible. Also, getting Ryan means if some big name C were to be available, we could offer up a player like JVR, which most of the other teams couldn't.

I don't see the issue with this move, IF we got Luongo as well. Not to mention, Toronto would also appear to be a much better destination for FA's too.

This.

We have a lot depth at wing but its bottom six. Ideally Kulemin is an elite third line winger. (I know, a bit of an oxymoron).

If we get Luongo the pick should not be very high.

2013/2014
We let MacA walk.

Sign Getzlaf. If its Kadri that goes then we keep the D corp in tact and fill some pieces in.

If Rielly goes then we use Kadri in the top six amnesty Grabovski and Liles and have 10mil to buy stud on D.

Tell that to all the good folks around here who hated Howard Berger. Just read some of Siegels articles and make up your mind for yourself. You don't have to be so defensive about it unless he's your brother or something. Relax.
 
Hey I would love to have a guy like Ryan but dont we need to see players that fit Carlyles system? I think we need to see a big centre in order for any improvement with a solid goaltender. I love Reimer, but he has been off for a year now with no real game minutes. I dont know whats gonna happen but I do know that that there has to be some movement and it has to happen sooner than later. Burke has done some positive things for this club but on the same note he hasnt improved the club where its needed the most. Only time will tell.

TBH the common Toronto fan will LOVE LOVE LOVE Bobby Ryan's game!!!

He is that typical hard working player with elite skill that Toronto fans LOVE!!!

He would instantly be 80% of the fan bases favorite player guaranteed!

Did anyone actually confirm it was Jonas?? Or confirm it at all? All I read was someone saying they believed it was Jonas.
 
The crappy thing is this CBA is going to be filed in total by Saturday which means we have to wait in till then for any trade to happen.

Roberto Luongo
Bobby Ryan is

if we make those trades i will be a happy man no matter what we give up minus Riley.
 
Why would the Ducks trade the only top forward they have under contract going forward?

Unless we see the re-signing of Getzlaf and Perry ...

From the Ducks standpoint letting their big 3 go is not all bad THIS year IMHO.

Lets say internally they decide it's time to move on and they put all 3 on the market. At the least they are going to get for each is a top prospect and a 1st.

That would give them 4 picks in the first round this year

3 TOP PROSPECTS potential = to Rielly

Moving forward with the 4 picks, 3 elite prospects, Fowler, Linholm, Etem, Rakell and Gibson.

I'd say thats a pretty darn good looking future considering this draft is hyped to be the best since 03' and the top prospects they would easily get in return.

Also this new CBA favors teams with their RFA's so they will be able to keep that young core for a long time.

Even if we gave up rielly kadri frattin a 2nd and a 1st for Bobby Lou and Ryan I think most fans would be happy and the leafs would have a better chance of Landing other fa's as they would be a desirable location

Done done done and done. I'm tired of being the laughing stock of the league. Those are some legit players that we are acquiring.
 
Did anybody else here actually hear the spot on TSN Radio where this was discussed?

Are there any other outlets reporting the rumour?

If the answer is no, this thread should be put on lockdown.
