there's a couple of crappy UFA's out there too. Ryan Parent, Chris Campoli types.
edit: beaten.
edit2: also, paul ranger is playing for the marlies, but on an AHL contract with an NHL out. We'd offer him a better chance to play than toronto at this point, i'd assume.
I don't think we're going to know for sure for at least a day or two.
Nearly every source is stating this summer for buyouts. So, I think we can take it as very likely that they won't be starting until the summer. Think of it: If TSN got ANY wind that the buyouts kicked in now, they'd be running a hotstove type forum, speculating constantly about who's getting cut.
You're right, the details aren't fully available, but it looks very likely that buyouts aren't happening until it's 30 degrees outside.

Yeah, the more I look into it, the more likely it is that you're right.
Still, no harm in waiting the day or two it will take to find out for sure. After all, the new CBA isn't even in writing yet.
I agree that this is a very realistic lineup, apart from Lundin's present injury. I suppose we could see Borowiecki or Benoit come up instead. But I must say, neither scenario fills me with confidence.
What's the details on Lundin's injury? I can't find anything about it.
Yeah, the defense needs depth, badly. As a UFA signing, maybe Foster or... I don't know who else. I can't really see a trade happening, but I've been wrong before.

Injured Dec. 22nd. Surgery sometime after that to do something. Out for something like 6 weeks, so would miss the first couple.

LOL.
Could you imagine signing Paul Ranger after Leafs fans have been boasting all offseason about how Ranger only came back to the NHL because he wanted to play for the Leafs.
