I would love to see Selanne and Kariya in Toronto. I agree that the elimination of the red line would be AMAZINg for them. Allison would be amazing too. Could you imagine the First line being Kariya, Sundin, Sleanne... wow. Lindros is questionable. I would hope the Leafs perform an intense physical on that man. He could be one hit away to reitrement... Or he could be intrinsicly and kick ass...

Man the teams in Western Canada are looking good. Vancouver re-upping with Naslund is huge. They'll probably pick up one more UFA before all is said and done.
The Oilers grabbing Pronger and Peca was impressive too. Yes, they gave up a lot in Brewer, York and the prospects, but they are a better team than they were on August 1. They still need a real goaltender.
And of course my Flames grabbing Amonte and McCarty. How good will Amonte look on the 1st line. Think about how good Iginla was while he was playing with 3rd liner's on the first line. Now he's got two legit offensive players to work with. Look out! Gotta get Kiprusoff under contract though...
As for the Maple Leafs. Well, it isn't looking pretty. It looks like all those years of throwing away cash in ridiculous contracts (see Eddie Belfour) have finally caught up to them. Ferguson Jr. certainly has his work cut out for him to actually build a team this time around, not buy one. He did a good job with getting O'Neill for so cheap, but 1.25/year to Domi? Brutal. They need to spend that money elsewhere
It's so weird to see all the small market teams (Edmonton, Columbus, Atlanta) are grabbing UFA's and the big teams struggling. Craziness...

i cant remember what show i was watching, but they brought up the Selanne Karyia thing
i cant see any of it happening tho, i bet they head west
i've also heard of a Toronto, Boston, Chicago trade
Chicago - Belfour
Boston - Daze
Toronto - Thornton
i dont know how much truth their is to that but i guess i could see it happening, knowing Thornton isnt happy in Boston, Chicago needs some sort of goalie (no matter how old i guess), and Daze would fit well in Boston i think
than again there has been so many rumours over the last while
