O'Reilly being offered around the league for a good D-man. Florida and Winnipeg. Pondering, Toronto and Montreal too

Ericsson? Lol. Would love him here but don't think we have the pieces to get it done. I don't know who Toronto could give up. Franson is a ufa at years end I believe and unless the are some of phaneufs cap they couldn't move him. Also why the he'll would Toronto be interested? They have enough scoring. Why would they give up someone from their weakest area to fill in their strongest area? Maybe they think 40 shots against per game is pretty low, and they could win getting 45 shots against every game.

Leafs for whatever reason are trying to build from the forwards on, not like it should be done from the net out. They need a bonafide number 1 defenceman and other than Kessel and jvr this team doesn't have the pieces for it (assuming that Rielly is untouchable). Ror doesn't help them although he is a great player. Today Carlyle complained about the leafs not being hard enough to play against oh well the two toughest players are in the ahl so what did he expect? Players like Phaneuf, Kessel dropping the gloves or jvr turning into a Backes like machine?

Wings are in the same position the team doesn't have the pieces and Wings need defense, size and grit first so yeah sadly no Ror
