At this point Dubas is just messing with us.

Wait until he offers one to Sundin.

I'm sure there's something relatively misleading about his solid-ish scoring numbers the last few seasons but I'm actually kind of interested here. I mean...is Parenteau for sure a better option?

I mean, really?  Come on.

I think that I like Boyes and Glencross both more than some guys we have on actual NHL deals. I'm pretty surprised that they're both still looking for jobs.

Where there's smoke....

He's bounced around 4 teams in 5 seasons. 

EDIT:  3 teams in 4.

So has Parenteau.

One take on all these PTOs, if they make the team that is ...The Leafs are not shooting for the highest draft pick available next spring but for as many picks as they possibly can get in trade?

Fixed it for you.

I don't see how that figures. None of these guys figure to move the needle much on where the Leafs draft, even collectively.

It's now obvious they've got deals for JVR and Lupul in place.

It's now obvious they've got deals for JVR and Lupul in place.

I wouldn't necessarily single those two out, but all these PTOs definitely make it feel like they're a little further down the line on some trade negotiations than I would have thought a couple days ago.

DO NOT buzzkill-busta me on this one.

Yeah, 50 contracts and 3 pto's, something's afoot.

Yeah, because I have to figure these guys' agents would have a conversation with the Leafs brass about the likelihood of a contract.  As it stands, there ain't no room for any of them.

I'm just being less specific to let create a much wider variety of trade scenarios.

Even if the Leafs have them there strictly for training camp competition and don't even intend on offering them a contract later, going to the Leafs training camp is still better than going to nobody's training camp. These guys could be using this as an opportunity to get noticed by another club as well that wouldn't give them a PTO.

Im guessing that all these guys will be moved in March for draft picks. I also think the Leafs will be a better team with more veteran players in the lineup than without. Thats just my take on it.

Babcock has said, with regard to earning a starting position between vets and younger players, the tie goes to the vet. I wonder if that applies to the individuals coming in on PTOs. If Josh Leivo and Brad Boyes have good/equal showings at camp, does the tie go to Boyes over a 23-year-old Leivo?
