Happy Birthday Arch

Must be weird to have your birthday so close to Halloween. Were all your birthday parties as a kid costume parties? Are you having a party this year? Are we invited? Can we throw you one if we aren’t? Can it be a surprise party that nobody else knows about? Basically it’ll just be me, showing up at your house unexpected. I’ll be the guy wearing a Halloween cosutme. Cool?

So last week Razor, whose blog is hosted by the Dallas Stars, wrote an article in advance of Toronto going to Dallas about what the Leafs could do to turn their fortunes around. He mentioned Red Kelly’s pyramid power thing, so I dropped in to link him to the Borje Salming story about that. This is the automated email response I got:

Although you may have tested the maxim, “There are no stupid questions” with your inquiry, I appreciate your bravery and you taking the time to submit it. I’ll be answering questions that I deem non-retarding twice monthly on this, the blog of blogs, so check back.

Sometimes I wanna swat Wilson's nose with a rolled up paper
It appears Wilson is leaning towards veteran winger Jason Blake as a linemate for Kessel, while Matt Stajan would seem to be a suitable centre.

probably taking the speed kills approach, and if blake can forcheck like he did last game more often, it would create a lot of room for Kessel
Stajan is probably the best play making center with the leafs currently so that makes sense…and is sad

The Red Wings are also very much in the market for a goalie and I am hearing Toskala’s name being mentioned a great deal along with Giguere. I think Toskala is the far safer bet…For now. The Wings need to make something happen soon…

Yeah but does Detroit have $6M in cap space for Giguere?

Does Detroit have $4M for Toskala?

Does Detroit have bad salary Toronto or Anaheim would eat, since I don’t think Toskala or Giguere have much trade value?

Literally nothing about this makes sense.

DET conceivably has salary room for Toskala.

Waiving Howard or Osgood goalie frees up ~$1M

The team has about $8M buried on long-term IR:
$3.95M Franzen (out ’til Feb)
$3M Filppula (out ’til Dec/Jan)
$1.25M Lilja (out indefinitely, post-concussion)

The far greater question is WHY on earth would DET trade for Toskala?

by mf37 on Oct 30, 2009 1:42 PM EDT up reply actions   0 recs

Because they are a team that, unlike Toronto, is not so dependent on spectacular goaltending, and Giggy is waaaay too expensive. They need a better stopgap in case Osgood goes down or needs the rest before the playoffs. Toskala may actually fit the bill, not that I trust anything that the fraud has to say. But if they agree to pick him up on waivers for half price and give us a prospect or pick for it, so be it.
