They also have at least five bodies to fill those two spots (Cola; White; Harrison; Kronwall; Pilar; and Bell) plus whatever else is in the draft cupboard/junior system.<BR/><BR/>A GM wouldn't be doing his job if he wasn't MF37https://www.blogger.com/profile/10238252282255067686noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24746874.post-1153961469151498462006-07-26T20:51:00.000-04:002006-07-26T20:51:00.000-04:00If I were in JFJ's shoes, I'd be looking at teams ...<I>If I were in JFJ's shoes, I'd be looking at teams that are having cap issues (hello New Jersey!) and trying to figure out how to move some of the Leafs cheap, young D prospects for a younger forward who can help the Leafs score in five-on-five situations.</I><BR/><BR/>I'm amazed the Leafs even have any cheap, young prospects after years of trading away picks for elder statesmen.

I would guess that the Leafs will have Mats, Peca, Wellwood, and Stajan as their centres and Antro, Pohl, and Steen as converted wingers.<BR/><BR/>I do think that A trade is likely to come (mostly since JFJ has already been shopping Carlo to an extect) because they have so many bodies that they could move.PPPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04222660837357023486noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24746874.post-1152911737248104482006-07-14T17:15:00.000-04:002006-07-14T17:15:00.000-04:00They have a lot of centres - but none you want to ...They have a lot of centres - but none you want to use in the position on a regular basis.

If you look at the Leafs top 15 by their natural position they have seven centres, five on left wing and three on the right. Obviously, a few of the centres will have switch to the wing to balance things out. <BR/><BR/>That said, I still think JFJ needs to find someone who can MF37https://www.blogger.com/profile/10238252282255067686noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24746874.post-1152902305984117682006-07-14T14:38:00.000-04:002006-07-14T14:38:00.000-04:00Gomer would be great, but how many centers can we ...Gomer would be great, but how many centers can we have?mikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04031995641107500484noreply@blogger.com
