So they protected Perrott and exposed Travis Green, eh?

(rubs hands together)

Very interesting. I guess Green's salary probably makes him someone likely to go unclaimed.

Some notable players exposed:

Ivan Novoseltsev, FLA
Sheldon Keefe, TB
Shane Willis, TB
Curtis Joseph, DET (well, we all knew that)
Arturs Irbe, CAR
Milan Hnilicka, LA
Steve Shields, BOS
Norm Milley, BUF
Serge Aubin, COL
Theo Fleury, CHI (not a surprise, but he's still notable)
Pavel Trnka, FLA
Brian Boucher, PHO (wow...wouldn't be a bad Leaf claim, eh?)
Jaroslav Bednar, FLA (nice Yushkevich deal, eh?)
Jiri Bicek, NJ
Mattias Timander, NYI
Pavel Bure, NYR
Paul Healey, NYR
Chris Therien, PHI (they protected John Slaney ahead of him)
Brian Savage, PHO
Nikos Tselios, PHO
Daniel Tkaczuk, STL
Todd Harvey, SJ
Janne Laukkanen, TB
Nolan Baumgartner, VAN

EDIT: mods, didn't see the sticky thread...sorry for the extra clutter.

he's not over paid by any means, if any team wanted to add depth he would be perfect fit to play on third line, or even in second line.

If we claimed Boucher, we would be stuck with Kidd. We would obviously expose him, but with his recent surgery no one will pick him up and we would then have 3 goalies plus Tellqvist. I can't see it happening.

If we did, we would have to expose someone else. Who do you propose?

The most interesting guy from a LEafs perspective has to be Pavel Trnka.

He is still relatively young, he's solid in his own end and he can be physical. Could be the perfect guy for the Leafs to play on that third pairing.

maybe, then the Leafs would not sign Pushor, or get ready for a trade.

Really, the Leafs need to improve their top 3 or 4. If picking up a guy from waiver galvanizes their ability to make a trade for a top 3 D man then go for it.
