Toronto have a lot of options as far as goaltenders. Some good back-ups and at this point quite a few #1 and #1B guys. Raycroft was also on that list. I couldn't bear to even type his name. Oh wait, I just did... Dammit.

Ottawa, if it's defenceman you're after it's actually a good menu to choose from. I do think Colaiacovo should become a Senator because "Giggles passes back to Coco Puffs" is just too awesome to pass up.

If the Leafs want a game-breaker out of the forward crop, they better work fast. Can Burke call Marleau's agent now and drop hints? Is that allowed?
