Rumor: Potential Tampa/Toronto Trade?

[ML67]

"According to Sportsnet and Lightning beat writer Mike Corcoran of ESPN the Toronto Maple Leafs had Rick Dudley attend the Tampa Bay game last night on a scouting assignment. The Lightning are believed to be looking for some help on defense"

Any thoughts on assets being swapped? I assume Cody Franson as the center piece on our end.

Id imagine we'd be trying to push a rostered forward the other way since we're already loaded with them.

I could see us going Defense, just another defensemen will be sent along the way. Will probably be a package deal, a defensemen/forward for a toronto D. Only way I could see it work. THen call up Ashton/Conacher Then profit!

Vancouver scouts were reportedly in Norfolk over the weekend, so something might be up...

scouts = vultures

Any trades for defensemen we can use right now means that one of ours has to go, either by trade, or to Norfolk. Gervais being the likely candidate.

All of this is sort of silly, unless Ohlund's got a December surprise for us.

I guess Franson or Gunnarson or something like that

I probably don't even want to look in the Leafs forum right now....

A right handed PMD with a cannon would be great. Franson I don't think is quick enough to prosper on our team.

Not sure what Dudley was scouting but we don't have any Russians here....
