.. who will all cost 10x as much in trade.

You don't know that for sure. Tampa may still see him as a very valuable asset. I mean, they're not exactly the most "on the ball" organization out there.

Hoe could you know that?

Because, there are always healthier options than Malone.

You can't say that in the day and age of salary caps and teams looking to get out of deals.  Guys could be traded for far less than they would have in a previous era when you factor in the cap.

Players I'd want Burke to target in order of preference from me:

Getzlaf
Staal
Ryan
Statsny
Carter

(this is assuming these guys are available, I didn't include Perry because all indications are he's "untouchable" in Anaheim)

Is that Eric or Jordan?

Oh and you forgot Clowe and Stewart.  :)  ...and that is Chris not Anthony.

I mean Eric.  I'm just trying to line up a center (and I threw Bobby Ryan in just because everyone always does)  ;)

One thing I'll say about the BritishBulldog, he's persistent.

While I like both those players, BB, they're not at all the impact players like the others on Zee's list.  Great complimentary players, but not the cornerstone the Leafs need.

Funniest trade rumour of the year had to be that Maloney asked for Kadri and Schenn for Turris.

Well, apparently acquiring Turris turns you into a powerhouse so, giddy-up?

How about Dallas? Could it be Loui Eriksson?
Not really the type to bring the physicallity we are looking for, is he? 

Good goalscorer though and has some size, but plays smaller from what I remember.

Would also never be made available.

Eklund says nothing is imminent with the Leafs, so, we should expect a trade in the next 24 hours. :P

Kidding aside, Burke reaffirmed the other day for his preference to make his deadline deals this month and history shows he makes some pretty big ones in January... It's hard not to be at least a tad anxious for something to happen anytime now.  :-\

If Burke made a deal now it would be earlier than normal even for him. Phaneuf/Giggy/Lupul/whatever other deals have all come last week of Jan/first week of Feb.

Well, we are into the 3rd week of Jan. so it's not exactly a stretch to think (almost expect) something to happen here in short order.

It's Burke's own fault for his interview last week on the McCowan show.  Sounded like he had trades in the works based on his answers.  I know these things take time and Burke will further explain to me again how every day off the calendar is another day off the salary cap where it'll make sense to trade a certain player...
 
I personally think the trade is already done, and they are just waiting till the salaries are right for both teams... but they will advise us before we honour Sundin's number on Feb 11th. Thats the Armche123 Window.  ;)

Maybe Sundin will announce he's re-joining the team for the stretch drive during that night too.  ;D
