Buyers or Sellers? Probably Sellers

I know the trade deadline is not until March, but with the Olympic schedule freeze, there are really not that many games between now and the trade deadline. So who can the Leafs trade? When you think Toronto Maple Leafs, you don't think "talent" you think "disappointment"...at least I do...while I cry myself to sleep. Anyways, despite this, there is some players on the Leafs that can provide perhaps a draft pick, which the Leafs so desperately need. As far as I see, there are 2 untouchables on this team: Luke Schenn and Phil Kessel (I guess 3 untouchables if you want to include Nazem Kadri).

Tomas Kaberle- Obvious, it's been talked about for years, but he won't waive his No-Trade Clause and Burke won't ask him to. However, since making that statement, Kaberle's ice time has decreased: coincidence? He is probably the Leafs biggest asset, he can be the difference between being eliminated in the 2nd round of the playoffs, and making it to the finals. I would hate to see him go, but the Leafs can get something decent for him, potentially a first-round pick.

Vesa Toskala- Who'd take Toskala after his performance this season? Well...let's look at the Calgary Flames, they have no faith in their back-up goaltender (as evident in last night's 9-1 loss to the San Jose Sharks). However, the Flames do not have enough cap room, they made need to include a player to fit him under the cap, I don't know if that will happen, but you never know.

Ian White- He does it all: defense, forward, and goalie! He has been an outstanding (cheap) defenseman for the Leafs. If the Leafs can't sign him by the trade deadline, trade him, you can't lose him for nothing. A team needing more help on the blue line would really appreciate what White can offer.

Niklas Hagman- He has just broke his goalless drought. He is a streaky goal scorer, however he is leading the Leafs in goals right now. He has 18 of them. He is very creative with the puck and would be a decent 2nd line player. He could help out a team in need of secondary scoring.

Alexei Ponikarovsky- The "Big Pony" has been fairly decent this season. He can be an affective goal scorer as long as he is surrounded by the right line mates. Perhaps he'd look good in Nashville.

For now, this is what the Leafs have to deal with. We will see if Burke can work some trade deadline magic. Until next time Leafs Nation, good night and take care!
