Toronto Maple Leafs Christmas Present

[Oskar The Groucho]

Christmas is forthcoming and i am wondering what everybody would pick if they had once choice to choose as a present for the maple leafs come off season. Since we are on the verge of a lock out the off season is the only thing to look forward to.

For me it is to get a top 3 pick in the 2013 NHL draft and then to sign 2 Top end Free agents to add to the young pool of Kessel , Gardier , JVR and Riley

That's two choices

 

[Leafs For Life*]

That's two choices

Would having a CFL style management of the league for 2017 be 1 single choice, since there will need to be a lot of trades?

 

[AlmightyPO]

My wish: 1st overall pick when the season is eventually cancelled.

However knowing our luck, I believe we will pick out of the top 15.

 

[Mansfield]

anyone who says anything other than the stanley cup is ridiculous

sometimes I think we get so caught up in the journey that we forget about the destination

 

[Schennanigans]

For the NHL to go under.

 

[Stephen]

Yeah, I'd like to see the Bettman Hockey League go belly up.

 

[Bravid Nonahan]

10 teams disappear, salary cap is removed, draft is removed.

 

[ConnorTO]

i just wanna see... a playoff game in Toronto

mainly because ive never got the chance to see one

 

[Leafs at Knight]

A stanley cup ... wow that was hard.

 

[DD03]

NHL hockey would be awesome.

Its pathetic how much the leafs have dissapointed us that our greatest wish is to just see a playoff team or even a good draft pick.

 

[Kessely Snipes]

I'm not even close to being in a Stanley cup mindset. I would be pumped to see Leafs just get in, even if they got blown out in the first round.

 

[achtungbaby]

I want a good draft pi.... Ha! Obviously the Cup.

 

[BertCorbeau]

Easy ... #1 overall draft pick

 

[LeafsNation75]

Seeing the Maple Leafs making the Playoffs.

 

[Kelly]

Does it need to be reasonable? If not:
Malkin and Fleury for Komisarek and Lombardi

If so:
Draft Nate Mackinnon

 

[crump]

The journey is half the fun.

How about wish for one great draft where they get 2 or 3 franchise players. Let the players do the rest on the way to a cup.

 

[Mystifo]

A draft where we pick a stud in every single round.

 

[LV*]

Have a wonderful draft.

Take MacKinnon at #1, trade for the rights to Getzlaf for cheap, have him sign with us and then sign Backstrom or Perry

 

[Hurt]

Well the Cup is the obvious answer but realistically, getting a franchise center from the draft (depending on draft method they'll use if/when the season is cancelled and IF the union isn't dissolved) and a good Free Agency period (again, depending if the Union is dissolved and the repercussions of that) is the best we can hope for. REALISTICALLY.

a trade that would land us a starting line up of:

Nash-Toews-Gaborik
Weber-Doughty
Rinne

 

[paulhiggins]

I wish that all humans in the NHL hierarchy that look like rats, please scurry away!

Ew Nash, no thanks.
