Trade Toskala

Trade Toskala

February 26, 2008 @ 10:20

I almost hate to say this because I have a problem with anything that would make the Ottawa Senators better but I think the Leafs should trade Vesa Toskala.

Apparently the Senators are very interested in the slightly over-rated Leaf goaltender and they’d be willing to cough up something good in return to ride Toskala into the playoffs.

Needless to say the Senators aren’t sold on Martin Gerber and their attempts to hand the number one job to Ray Emery has been met with indifferent play, so they’re desperate to shore up their goaltending situation and the trade deadline arrives at three o’clock this afternoon.

Toskala is a good goaltender, he’s not great, but he’s better than what the Senators have right now so it would make sense to make a move for him, and it would make sense for the Leafs to comply.

The Leafs rebuilding situation will not be a brief project, on the contrary, it will take a few years, so having a goaltender like Toskala isn’t going to do them much good anyway.

If they can force the Senators into coughing up a couple of solid prospects, then Cliff Fletcher shouldn’t hesitate to trade Toskala and then consider Justin Pogge part of the immediate future.

Not a bad idea. If Toskala goes, they'd have to play Red Light Raycroft the rest of the way, thereby guaranteeing a last place finish, and a first draft pick!

Looks like they didn't have the balls to trade Toskala. The best they could do was Hal Gill and Belak for a second rounder and 2 fifth rounders. Pretty dissapointing day for the Leafs future. They didn't give away enough to ensure finnishing in the bottom 5 and didn't manage to dump any big contracts or Antropov.
But oh boy were the Penguins and Stars ever big winners today. The Penguins became deadly by adding Hossa and the Stars can be considered the second best team in the west behind the Ducks. Only one question why the hell did the habs trade Huet for a second round pick??? Did they hire Fergie when I wasn't paying attention.

I used to have a blog like this once, but it got spammed so bad I had to close it. You appear to be better at weeding out the spam! Congratulations!

Who the hell guessed creating a mosque at ground zero was likely a great concept? I'm not much of a great fan of both Glen Beck or Sarah Palin however , when held up against Obama and his supremely idiotic governing administration, those two are geniuses, get real The states, there's a bit of strange stuff going on.
