From Eklund

I am working hard on a Leafs rumour this morning where Toronto would send Antropov, McCabe and Raycroft to a Western Conference Team. Last night there were 17 scouts from 15 teams that watched the Maple Leafs lose to the Blues.

This got me thinkning - would I be willing to take Raycroft if it meant I got McCabe and Antro?

This is an interesting quandary and it just shows that Cliiff Fletcher is getting creative with his trade possibilities.

I agree with an earlier post that we need a true number two center and Antro fills that need immediately. He is huge and talented and would play real well on a line with Frolov.

McCabe is a true 1 - 2 dman when healthy and Raycroft is an anomaly wrapped inside of an enigma. How does one fall so fast? Maybe a change of scenery is all he'll need (one where the expectations arent through the roof like they are in Toronto).

So I say

Antro - McCabe and Raycroft

for

Cammy
LaBarbera
Priessing
and a 2nd

Brown - Kopi - Sully
Fro - Antro - Nagy
3rd line
4th line (pick who you like)

Blake - Johnson
Vish - McCabe
Stuart - Modry

Raycroft
Aubin

At least with those two goalies we'll be in the Lottery for SURE! Plus we build for the future with McCabe and Antro and the Leafs can build with Cammy and finally get rid of Raycroft.

Eh - maybe
