Speaking of the Marlies, what's the status of Sheldon Keefe? I thought he might moved to the NHL in some capacity but I don't remember seeinganything. I was most impressed how organized and focussed the Marlies were game in, game out.</div></div>

Yeah I'm not sure either! Says he wants to stay. I think he's pretty loyal to Dubas so I expect they will come to terms somehow! Don't think there's a spot on Babcocks staff at this point!

Sujet: Deal with the Devil
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>MG1986</b></div><div>I have no issue with either deal, so I'd say you will probably hear it from some Habs fans about the return, which might be a little low, even for a rental. In the crazy unlikely scenario the Habs agreed to that crazy offer, obviously the Leafs take Max on as a rental for the year, and perhaps even try to negotiate an extension. However, my feeling is that the Habs will try to milk as much value out of their captain as possible and allow a trading team to work out a new contract with him before a deal gets done, so it's not a pure rental deal. Either way, I'd doubt, in the current state of the Leafs roster, we could afford Max long term. I also have some doubts about his leadership ability, but that may be more a reflection of his surroundings and team's awful play at times, then his leadership.</div></div>

No question if I'm the Leafs I'm looking at using our current cap flexibility in a one and done scenario! The offer reflects the gamble of Patches coming off a poor season and injury.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>DC14</b></div><div>The Gallagher deal I can't imagine. Gallagher's a decent player but I wouldn't trade Kappy for Gallagher alone never mind as part of a package. Kapanen is going to be the Leafs version of Esa Tikanen- clutch goals, PK, can move up the lineup. Gardiner is just the latest whipping boy for the Leafs Nation who walk past all that he has to offer in terms of superlative creativity and puck control and focus on the fact he can be erratic at times- all players you watch play every day have some warts, Gardiner has way too much to offer to remotely consider trading straight up Gallagher as well.</div></div>

Love Kapanen as well, and this certainly wasn't an indictment on Gardiner! Believe Dermott ready for top 4 minutes and serious depth behind for the 5/6 role! Moving Gardiner now as unsure whether cap will allow us to keep him after this season. Gallagher more of a protypical 3rd line winger who can contribute to a shut down in your face line led by Kadri!
