Doubtful. They're probably going to get gutted on Monday.

True.  Hopefully they fill those spots with real go getters from the AHL that want to prove that they belong in the NHL. 

Also, hopefully the Leafs get gutted as well and they fill those spots with guys that are journeyman and know that this is really their last hurrah in the NHL.

Also I find your avatar unnerving for some reason.

I don't know if they'll be legitimately gutted. I think Vermette and Michalek go, but, other than that, there aren't really significant pieces there I expect will be moved before the deadline. Like the Leafs, the bigger pieces are more likely to go at the draft.

I'd bet that at least one of Gagner or Yandle move. Erat too if there's any interest there. You're right that "gutted" might be a strong word there but that's more or less all of their veterans.

I doubt Yandle's moved. That's a prime candidate for a draft day trade because of the cap hit and the fact he still has term left. I won't be shocked if it happens, but I really don't expect it.
 
Logged onto nhl.com to admire the tank standings and was greeted by this.  Does the NHL know something we don't??

I don't so much hate the team.  I dislike the hypocrisy that goes on within the fan base and the media here.  It's always "Oh the Leafs did it, that's stupid", but then the Sens will go and do something similar and they don't have a problem with it.  Drives me nuts some days as there fan base seems to be based on the "Hate the Leafs first, then love the Sens second."  I'm not saying that Sens fans have to love the Leafs, just don't go out of your way to hate them.
 
It's easy for the media to manipulate such a tiny fan base. Media says something, one guy hears it, he tells the other guy.
 
So not to get to far ahead of ourselves, but let's say the Leafs get Dylan Strome.  Is that like getting a first overall pick in a different draft?  Let's say Strome had been available last year instead of this year, would he have gone second overall to Eckblad?

The Sens don't exist if they're not winning.  Never made fun of a Sen's fan team when they're doing poorly.  They disappear.
 
So many first rounders traded already ... things could get crazy tomorrow ... some of these GMs seem to be really going for it. Can't see it being a bad thing for the Leafs.

Jokinen, Booth, Holzer maybe for fringe picks

Then see if they can pull in some real talent with Lupul, Polak, Bernier, Gardiner, Phaneuf, etc
