Fellow Pacific division fan here to defend our oft-maligned corner of the hockey world ...
If the Leafs aren't going to part with Schenn, Kadri, Kessel, Phaneuf, Bozak or Gustavsson, then what exactly are they parting with? We've established that you and every other Leaf fan want to trade one year of Kaberle ... what else do you have of value? Picks in 2012? That Grabovski guy who doesn't really have much value? Giguere and Komisarek (combined cap hit: 600% of the Kings roster).
If you want a blue-chip prospect, you have to give up something really good. If you're not willing to part with any of the small number of valuable assets you DO have, then what's the point of making the phone call? Save time and create a "Please Send Us Good Players In Exchange For Guys We Don't Need" thread on the Leafs board, where teams can donate extra 1st rounders to make up for the ones that your club has squandered.
