The Philadelphia Flyers have been scouting the Toronto Maple Leafs the past few games.
The Flyers are looking for a big defenceman. Many believe the Flyers are after Keith Aulie. Aulie has played really well for the Leafs since being called up from the AHL earlier this season..
Brian Burke wants Brayden Schenn or James van Riemsdyk from Philly. Obviously Burke would have to add another player in to complete the deal..
Right now Burke is trying to work out a trade for Ryan Getzlaf......so any Schenn or van Riemsdyk deal for Aulie is on hold.

I think that you have tings figured out here. A few years ago, we heard Burke ranting about entitlement and the "Muskoka Five"... I suggest that we have a new version of the Muskoka Five at work here: "Brian Burke; Dave Nunis: Dave Poulin; Claude Loiselle and (of course!) Ron Wilson"... fair enough to measure the body of work for a team by its record since September. It is a time to reflect on the body of work produced by the "NEW" Muskoka Five. At least the previous "five" skated, scored the odd goal and more or less did their jobs. This bunch deserves to be held fully accountable. This too is part of rebuilding
I know people dont agree with me on this site...BUT I really see the leafs in a different view and dont get caought up in favorite players and so forth.
Why the Leafs youth is not in this line up is beyond me!!!!!
If they arent going to play them TRADE them for the assets you need.
I really would trade Kessel Schenn and Colborne Riemer and a Pick for a top elite guy and goalie with a prospect rounding out the trade!
Burke could MAX his return right now and really place the leafs well for the future!
I do not see Schenn and Kessel being major components in a PLAYOFF thick gameor series and feel Kessel would simply fade away!
We need a goalie!!!!
I truly feel that the Leafs should make s trong pitch with Kessel as he is at hi prime to tur nover right now, I truly feel a good solid offer for two teams would be with NY Islanders.
To Islanders
Kessel
Schenn
Kadri
Riemer
2nd rounder
TO LEAFS
Tavares
Neiderrieter
Nabokov
This trade helps Islanders in every position with young credable players....as well as the leafs where they need to be NOW!
If an inter divisison trade could be arranged I think this is the best fit.
Then I would send
To St Louis
Kulimen, Gustavson & Komisarek
To Leafs
Jaroslav Halak
To Nashville
Jake Gardner
Kieth Aullie
To LEAFS
Ryan Suter
PLEASE BURKE cut the fat..bring up Colborne ...Kadri and Holzer and Give Rynass a shot at running the table like Riemer last year and TRADE KESSEL for a PLAYER WITH SOME GUTS....!!!!!!
Lets look at what the leafs really NEED!!
Toughness, consistency and goaltending..
Wish list for reasonable acqusitions
GRIT players
1)Steve Ott
2)Matt Cooke
3)Max Talbot
4)Benn Eager
5)Arron Asham
6)Tuomo Ruttoo
7)David Clarkson

Veteran Presence
Derek Helm

Teemu Selanne
Erik Cole
Jordan Staal
Ryan Malone
Kessel
Schenn..... or Gardner
Colborne
Kulimen
D amigo ..or Connolly...or... Lombardi

2nd round pick
To Toronto
Rick Nash
Ryan Johanson
Derek Brassard
---------------------------------------
To Los angeles
Steve Mason
Jeff carter
Tyutin
To CBJ
Bernier
Voyonov
-----------------------------------------
To Los Angeles
Clark Mcarthur
Colby Armstrong
TO LEAFS
Dustin Brown
Kessel- Incosistant streaky and does not use his body enough, no size
or GRABOVSI
Grabovski UFA next year let him go
Riemer inconsitant let him go
Kadri OR Colborne keep one and your good.
Schenn
...OVERATED let him go
2nd round pick ...its a gamble let it go
Leafs need to see what they have in Rynass....and pick up another goalie in offseason anyways so Riemer or Gustavson can go.
Nash has such good leadrship and is a proven winner in the Olympics and will score the ame as Grobovski or Kessel anyways but brings more the the table.
I would do this OFFER
Grbovski or Kessel
Colborne or Kadri
Schenn or Holzer
Gustavson or Riemer
Komisarek to clear some cap
2nd round pick
For :
Rick Nash
Ryan Johanson
Steve mason
Colton Gillies
Kadri has 4 goals in 19 games
Connoly has 7 goals in 44 games
Kadri is 1.3 million
Connolly is 4.5 million
BRIAN BURKE PLEASE READ !!!!!!!!!!
Please send Lombardi Connolly Armstrong and Komisarek packing and take the chains off of 16 million in cap space and use your depth in the Marlies and grow your Leaf team ...stop stunting your growth!!!!!!!
Let your youth grow in a Leafs uniform
the leafs need to DUMP DEAD weight ...and thats Connoly Komisarek and Lombardi ....PICK UP ANY draft picks clear cap space of 12 million...move on!!!
Second
Bring up KADRI and COLBORNE repalce Connoly position with Coloborne and Lombardi with Kadri !!!
2 million replacements instead of 7 million...
Problem is now both Colborne and Kadri are 1 year behind the resto f the team and development ...they should have been the youth that the leafs injected into the is years line up and dealt with the mistakes to help them lear ...thy cant be as BAD as the other players mentioned above BIG MISTAKE BY BURKE AND WILSON !!!
If Kadri was putting up the numbers Connoly is he would be run out of town by Wilson ...They are ruining Kadri and his development....BRING UP AND KEEP hime for the plaoffs and give this kid the EXPERINCE he needs to HELP YOU!!!!!
Simply mind boggling what is in the rumor mill .
Nash seems to be the only realistic deal though .
