PRE-GAME RANT

Leafs are coming off blowouts to the bottom dwelling Canadiens and an injured and under-manned Calgary team so this should be a good time to kick the crap out of them. That said, Oilers like to be slump-busters so it may not turn out so well. Plus the Leafs won the last meeting a week ago, so I hope to get that back (the few Leafs fans I know have become damn near unbearable).

I predict a rather boring game, with both teams playing like shit. Maybe lots of screen time to Burke looking surly and Tambellini looking quite pleased with himself.

No idea about the lines yet, will leave them the same until later. Edit: From what I understand, Potter is now out due to some soreness or injury and Khabibulin is getting the start.

Jamal Mayers	RW	$1.333M	2010 (UFA)
Ian White	D	$0.850M	2010 (RFA)
Cap total: $6.933M (-$0.317M)
To Toronto Maple Leafs
Name	Pos	Cap Hit	Expires
Dion Phaneuf	D	$6.50M	2014 (UFA)
Fredrik Sjostrom	RW	$0.750M	2011 (UFA)
Keith Aulie	D	($0.733M*)	2012 (RFA)
Cap total: $7.25M* (+$0.317M)

* – Non-roster player on 2-way contract.

Difference in cap: $0.317M this year. However it looks like a long-term salary dump for them…:

Toronto Maple Leafs
Name	2009-10	2010-11	2011-12	2012-13	2013-14
Phaneuf	6.5	6.5	6.5	6.5	6.5
Sjostrom	0.75	0.75	0	0	0
Aulie	0	0	0	0	0
Total	7.25	7.25	6.5	6.5	6.5
Calgary Flames
Hagman	3	3	3	0	0
Stajan	1.75	0	0	0	0
Mayers	1.333	0	0	0	0
White	0.85	0	0	0	0
Total	6.933	3	3	0	0
Cap Change	-$0.317M	-$4.25M	-$3.5M	-$6.5M	-$6.5M

Details available here.

Edit (done deal): The Leafs also orchestrated another trade, sending Toskala and Blake to the Ducks for Giguere. Good deal for the Leafs. Toskala’s contract expires this year and is a cap hit of $4M. Blake’s is a $4M cap hit and expires at the end of 2012. Giguere is a big goaltending upgrade, and his cap hit is $6M and expires at the end of 2011.

Edit2: In what is turning out to be a pretty busy day, it looks like the Flames will send Olli Jokinen and Brandon Prust to the New York Rangers. Possibly coming back is Ales Kotalik (for sure) and Chris Higgins (not sure on that one). This is per Darren Dreger of TSN. Busy guy today.

Prepare to vomit... Gretzky in his Leafs Dynasty days..

It’s a bit early for Halloween, but today’s Edmonton Journal has a nightmarish story in it. Can you imagine if Gretzky became a Maple Leaf instead of a King? Well it almost did happen, and it gets even worse.

Peter Pocklington’s new biography, “I’d Trade Him Again”, tells that the Leafs and Oilers nearly swapped teams in the 1980s. Continue reading 'You thought you hated Pocklington now – Book reveals near Oilers / Leafs team swap'»
