I must say - I didn't catch onto the pun at first in their headline and my heart blinked for a moment.

http://www.tsn.ca/nhl/story/?id=399072 PITTSBURGH -- The Toronto Maple Leafs have traded the rights to goaltender Jonas Gustavsson to the Winnipeg Jets for a seventh-round conditional draft pick in 2013. The six-foot-three, 192-pound Swede is due to become a free agent this summer. Update...

Tim Thomas would be a perfect stop gap solution providing the cost of acquisition isn't too high.  He'd be able to offer 1-2 years of solid goaltending assuming he would play for the Leafs this year. I'd much prefer that over Luongo.

From Friedman's 30 thoughts: 10. There are rumblings that Toronto will offer Luke Schenn to Edmonton for a swap of first-rounders. No doubt Brian Burke would like to make a huge draft splash. He loves the big stage. And I do believe the Oilers like Schenn and have discussed his availability...

Audio from the FAN590 today with Nail Yakupov & Alex Galchenyuk. Galchenyuk mentions he hears all the rumours of Toronto, says it's a great city...the people go crazy about hockey and Toronto would be good...

Greg Scott is trending on twitter across Canada. That's great!

He wouldn't have a choice.  It would be a standard entry level contract.

http://www.tsn.ca/nhl/story/?id=395223 Well, this is an unfortunate situation for the Leafs to be in.  Even if they get their wish and keep Rick until after the draft, you could question where his heart will be in terms of releasing all of his info.

Here's another article on Komarov. http://www.tsn.ca/nhl/story/?id=395216

Sure, why not.

Based on practice reports yesterday, I would guess Connolly ends up on the 4th line with getting spot time on the power play.

I agree with you Brendan.  I was merely gauging reaction on the deal to see if anyone considered the cap hit and term to be a long term albatross.

For what it's worth, I believe Hornby was insinuating that the Leafs would save money on Kulemin over what his camp would have been asking for originally.  With his play, he will leave some money on the table over what he would have received if he had a stronger year. Personally, I agree with...

Olli Jokinen is now the top centre on the market.  I'll take Grabovski.

Lance Hornby ‏ @sunhornby The Leafs might have over-paid with Grabo, but they'll make it up with Gary Greenstin's other client, the slumping RFA Nikolai Kulemin.

All of the talk on twitter is suggesting the Leafs gave a bit extra money to stay at 5 years, where Grabovski's camp wanted 7-8 years.  I am happier at 5.5 for 5 years, instead of 5 for 7 or 8.

Does anyone feel that this contract makes Grabovski a challenge to move?  I'm not suggesting I would want him to be traded - but would this hurt his value in a trade for a 1st line centre down the road?

He's on pace for 25 Goals, 32 Assists total of 57. Last year was 29 + 29 for 59. Factor in the slow start, and he's doing very well.  I'm glad Grabovski is going to be around - and I'm not going to cry about $500,000.  If that's what it took to get him in Blue & White next year - so be it.

Per Mike Brophy on Twitter, Gardiner will be sent to the Marlies temporarily today to allow him to be eligible for the AHL playoffs.

Tony Ambrogio ‏ @SNTonyAmbrogio Leafs Dir. of player Personnel Rick Dudley says play of defencemen Korbinian Holzer and Jesse Blacker allowed them to deal Aulie. #sntrade
