I heard the Flyers are trying hard to move Lecavalier, perhaps the leafs could take him and essentially buy another prospect.

Leafs are pretty close to the 50 contract limit right now, so, unless the Flyers take a couple contracts back, probably not the right move - unless the Flyers are willing to throw in a really significant prospect or pick (which seems unlikely).
I'd consider something like Bozak for Lecavalier + incentives, but I guess Bozak doesn't actually do anything for them either. Unless they play Gagner (and Schenn) on the wing.

If the Leafs could somehow move Bozak or Lupul in another deal without taking a contract back, then maybe you can do something around Lecavalier that nets the Leafs a good pick or two, yeah.

And the chances of them trading for Bozak just increased!

Well, the Coyotes are probably trying to be bad, so . . .

Pretty good career for a slightly under-sized guy. Was a career .715 PPG guy in the regular season, .935 PPG guy in the playoffs. Was a point-per-game playoff performer before his last appearance with Montreal. Had 30 points in 23 games when Philly went on their run to the finals.
edit: That 30-point performance was actually the 3rd highest single-playoff point total among players in his generation. Behind Malkin and Crosby's 36 and 31 (respectively) point totals in 24 games.

Didn't even realize that at first. 27 games away from 100 and just 4 points away from 700. I'm sure he would have loved to hit those but he's been a pretty ineffective player these past 2 seasons. Any team signing him would have been for sentimental purposes only really.

Arbour was masterfull behind the Islander bench during the team's transition period to eventual four-time Stanley Cup champions.. No surprise that Arbour's mentor was Scotty Bowman, another great master tactician and motivator.
As an Isles fan, I'II always have fond memories of those Stanley Cup winning years, and of the Islanders 19 consecutive playoff wins, a record still standing to this day in pro sports.

I thought this was pretty funny:
Flames respond to fans upset over Team's involvement in Gay Pride parade
I don't really miss Brian Burke the hockey executive but I did think he was a really good person who I liked having represent the Leafs in the community.

Speaking of Burke, he was recently in Belfast and did a Q&A with some local hockey fans.

He talks about his sacking from the Leafs, which is quite interesting - he thought he was being summoned in to be there for the sacking of the Raptors GM, and also his time at Anaheim, Calgary and his other charity work
