And I think Toskola, White and Tlusty would be a perfect fit for their situation. They get 2 cheap young players with huge upsides, one being a dman, and a goalie that is now starting to have a feel for the eastern teams.
The leafs get their next captain and an extra 1st round pick in 08.
I really think its a perfect storm 
But I'm neither the Leafs nor Lightning GM :( |
You many be right, but I think that TB sending a first pikc to Toronto as well is really farfetched. But the reason I think that TB would ratehr stick with Vinny is ebcause, even thoguh Toskala is slowly starting to find success, he may never do as well as he did in San Jose. Also, Tlusty and White may be young and have great upside, but they will never, ever replace the amount of scoring that Vinny gives the Lightning. And however many goals Toskala saves that Holmqvist doesnt still doesnt make up for TB's not so superior blue line.
