Reading on TSN that St Louis *may* consider trading a first to get rid of two years left on Lehtera's contract. If so, perhaps worth the Leafs pursuing, even if it is later in round 1? That first is then either another young asset or something in the bank to put towards a d-man in a trade.

Would have preferred the Leafs to sign Boyle as a UFA in the summer. Maybe this is a step towards that.

Is there a deal to be had with Anaheim and taking one of their bad contracts plus lesser of one of their D prospects in exchange for two decent forward prospects and a pick? Fair enough if this is a bit cloud cuckoo land...

^ that's kind of why I wondered. We give up some prospects and picks for a defenceman and then look to shift Bozak, Komarov and JVR to other teams to restock.

Prospects/picks for Tyson Barrie? Anything we can realistically offer that they would take without giving up any of Marner, Matthews and Nylander?

Was hoping we may be able to trade for a defensive prospect from the past draft or two. Provorov particularly (although I guess that's unrealistic now). Are there any others we may he able to get in a trade?

Out of interest why have the Leafs not invoked long term injury relief on one or more of Horton, Robidas or Lupul anyway?

Thanks for standing in Herman.

I see it was a difficult second leg for Toronto in New York!

Quick question guys  - if we successfully signed Lindholm via an offer sheet at a level that involves us needing to give up a first round pick, then at what point do we hand over this pick?  If it's as soon as the signing is made, could we trade for another first rounder beforehand and hand that...

I see from above that the Leafs have first dibs on waivers but how many players can they claim as the team with the first option?

Record breaker Sir Bradley Wiggins won gold last night in the Team Pursuit to become Great Britain's most decorated Olympics athlete (and of course he has a Tour de France win on top of that). Legend.

What was the Mandela quote?

Looks like it's going to be won by France. Really don't want Portugal to win but they will give them more of a game than Wales would have. That said I'm a little sad thet Wales didn't get to the final. It would have made it more watchable for me. On a side note, England beat all four semi...

Wish I'd taken the afternoon off to watch today's semi finals. Didn't go to Wimbledon this year (I go most years but didnt get anything in the ballot and didn't fancy queueing) and now starting to regret it. I'm torn between wanting a Murray v Raonic final (which gives the edge to Murray) or a...

I guess this contributed to why we couldn't trade him.

JVR's no trade clause has kicked in but is it full or limited? I guess we'd hope he would waive it for a contender anyway.

Probably Chiarelli.

Back to the action tonight - Poland v Portugal. A tough one to call, but I'm going for Poland due to their better team ethic. I doubt Ronaldo can carry the Portugeezers to another win after the Croatia game, plus Croatia didn't have Levandowski up front.
