Team president Brendan Shanahan, who is believed to endorse the idea of a major overhaul of the roster, received approval from the Maple Leaf Sports and Entertainment board to initiate such a process in a recent meeting, according to Cathal Kelly of the Globe and Mail.
Management is believed to have targeted the likes of Morgan Rielly, William Nylander, Jonathan Bernier, Nazem Kadri, James van Riemsdyk and Jake Gardiner as core players to build around, yet will not go as far as to label anyone untouchable.
Further to that, Kelly reported Phil Kessel and Dion Phaneuf - key pieces acquired in former general manager Brian Burke's building process - are not in the team's plan, and the goal is to trade them at some point before the March 2 deadline or in the offseason in exchange for top prospects and draft picks.
Interesting that there's no mention of Cody Franson, who has been one of their better players, regardless of contract dispute or not
canucks pick up brendan McMillan off waivers from Arizona.....I am hoping this is just for Utica..
Well you can't send a player you grabbed off waivers to the AHL without putting him back on waivers first and 1st priority would go to the team you claimed him from as an automatic pass through to the AHL. So he likely is staying up here for now.
lol prolly a depth move
or another option to stare Kassian down when Kenins is underperforming
Read that so-called "scorched earth" policy for a Leafs rebuild. At least they realized that building a team through trades is pointless. Good luck trading Phaneuf's shitty contract.
