Breandan Morrison in a Leaf Jersey?

Since the Maple Leafs still require some insurance on the top 6 lines with Grabovski and Kadri still question marks.  How good would Brendan Morrison look as insurance on the Leaf lineup?  At a cost of 1.5 mil (2009),  and 60% at the faceoff along with a defensive and offensive mind for the game.  He posted decent numbers on the Capitals last year and was not a liability when he played against the other teams top lines.  On Washington, he was a 3rd line center but on the Leafs he could crack the top two.

Toskala being courted by Farjestad

A doping issue with Farjestad goaltender Robin Rahm has created a void at net for the team.  The club appears to be interested in Martin Gerber, Fedrick Holmgren, Mika Noronen and Vesa Toskala.  Gerber recently signed to play with Edmonton leaving the list to three candidates.  Money appears to be an issue if Toskala is signed.

Clash of the Titans - Orr vs Boogaard - FRI, 15 OCT 2010 @ 7:00 PM

Fireworks will be expected when the Leafs visit the Rangers on Oct 15, 2010.  The newly acquired Derek Boogaard should be in the lineup ready to face Colton Orr.  I would anticipate this match being played out on the first shift of the game, so do not be late for this one.

More Kaberle Questions than Answers. Ducks sign defenseman Sutton.

The Anaheim Ducks were in need of a veteran defenseman with the depatures of Niedermayer and Wisniewski.  The addition of Sutton will help complement the current roster that is strong in net and at the forward position.  This latest signing could kill any Kaberle trade rumours.  Sutton agreed to a two year contract worth $4.25 million.
