TML: Reebot Started

[Prototype]

The Franchise Reboot is common in Holywood. Batman, The Hulk, Halloween, Star Trek... all have been rebooted to some forms of success.

The Toronto Maple Leafs look to that formula to find some kind of success in the 09/10 season.

To start, GM Prototype checked him PMs, and had one from a source he doesn't talk to often: Young Guns.

It was a great lateral offer, which we usually don't waste our time with.

To DET:
Marek Zidlicky
Drew Stafford
0.8 09/10 Cap

To TML:
Dustin Byfuglien
Pavel Kubina

Byfuglien is the sandpaper we've been missing, and Kubina a reliable dman, now stuck with a bunch of not so reliable D men.

The rebooting continues. Ovechkin seems to be the soup de jour, but everyone has their price. There's been some talk with a western team about Savard. We'll keep our eyes on the waiver wire, and also try and find that jem on the FA market.

PS - Rich Peverly has been told by team managemet not to get too excited about being traded. He's stuck here weither he's happy or not.

Even steven deal. Older dmen swap and young forwards swap.

Kubina slightly better than Zidlicky
Stafford slightly better than Buff

So good deal.

Quoted for accuracy. I personally like Buff a bit more than Stafford but ratings wise it's bang on.

[Goffie]

Solid deal for both sides here.

[Sylvanfan]

The Leafs should move Bufuglien back to defence to give them two better defenceman!

[Young Guns]

Lateral deal to try and find some chemistry on the third line. Plus I get rid of my two leaders in Pm's. Easiest trade I have made.
