Toronto Maple Leafs, announced Saturday that the team has acquired left-winger James van Riemsdyk from the Philadelphia in exchange for defenceman Luke Schenn. For more information, go to mapleleafs.com
I wouldn't mind a line of JVR-Grabo-Kadri. Where's Kuli, though? Also, apparently, the Leafs aren't done for the day. I could see them with another surprise to get a centre, or Luongo.
MacArthur doesn't have the offensive talent, it's a given at this point that he'll be on the third line, or going to Vancouver for Luongo. Kadri has the offensive talent, and with Wilson gone, I think he'll be put on the second line this year. He'll be wasted on the third line, as an offensively minded player.
Great trade I am a big Schenn fan but he is not mobile and in today's NHL mobility is the key, with JVR the Leafs get bigger more skilled up the middle and if you look at LA they had plenty of that along with mobility at the back end, to all the haters Luongo is the key, a believe a change of postal code and being number 1 without worries will boost his career
Luke Schenn is replaceable with Holzer. Holzer plays the same game but has a little more offensive upside then Schenn did and Holzer doesn't have the same type of contract as Schenn.
As soon as we give up on Gardiner, I'm gonna kill myself. I'm sad we got rid of Schenn, he's a good talent, but if we give up Gardiner, I'll hunt Burke down and kill him in his sleep. *creepy killer smile*
a number 1 without worries…in toronto??? really? how could a canadian born player like luongo playin the one of the most beloved hockey towns in canada not carry any worries about his performance?
Schenn will be a star with patience, If he works on his skating, holy christ.. He's the next big thing.. JVR I think can turn into something to with time..

Yeah!!!
You're not even thinking properly. Where is McCarthur? How is Kadri going to grab a spot in the second line?

We still need a goalie. Unless Reimer stays as number 1 and they bring up scrivens for his back up or they can trade for Luongo. I also want nash xD
Aslong as we don't give up Jake Gardiner, I'm happy.
