Fire sale? Other then Jason Blake who would want any of these Make Beliefs?

[SigPig]

Antropov, Stajan, Toskala, Kubina are all possible trades and there are teams who would want them who are looking for something more.

And you bash the Leafs alot considering you are a Blues fan. Now St Louis, that is a team that has accomplished absolutely nothing and seems prepared to continue on doing so.

I hear the Blues get all their hockey equipment from China.

Ka-pow!

[Ripcat]

Off the top of my head, I also see Doug Gilmour, Wendel Clark, Dave Andrychuk, Mats Sundin, Curtis Joseph, and Ed Belfour making runs for induction.

[bootlegga]

Well, none of the Leafs are going to be big ticket items, but they could provide a lot of depth for a team that is already poised to make a Cup run. Toskala, Antropov and Kubina could be good deadline pick-ups for the better teams in the league, assuming they have cap room.

[ryan29]

i really don't see the leafs having much to trade this year , as they seemed to get rid of alot of players last year . honestly don't see there being much to trade there at the moment , maybe a couple of players but not much .

they really need a top 4 draft pick and one of the top newer players to add something to that team .

Nice research work there... I'm impressed...!!! But I must admit some of them had very brief careers with the Leafs... Dickie Moore also played for the Blues as did Jake the Snake Plante and Glenn "I'll Spear ya in the Throat" Anderson... ...

[Ripcat]

Gretzky's 3 months with the Blues certainly wasn't brief, was it. Perhaps you should have but his name at the end of your weeny list.

Fair enough you have been to the finals more then the Leafs since 1967. How many times have you won anything there? Compare that to the 11 cups we have won. And I also remember the last time the Blues won the Presidents Trophy....got blanked 4-0 in the first round.

I would also name the hall of famers that have played for the Leafs, but the list is kind of long and probably wouldn't fit here.
