Maybe Buffalo could figure out a way for Wellwood and Connolly to be hurt at different times. Together they might get 82 games in. Just kidding.

darksabre Posted June 24, 2008 Report Share Posted June 24, 2008 Would Raycroft be that bad of a pick up? His numbers really haven't been that bad with the exception of last season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He makes 2.2 million - so I think he would have to clear waivers, then get bought out, and then he'd be a candidate. If that happens I think he would be decent #2 on a 1 year.

Goodfella25 Posted June 24, 2008 Report Share Posted June 24, 2008 Wellwood is an interesting possibility but we don't need any more small forwards. It's too bad that injuries have really marred his career now--he never seemed to recover last season and he had (has?) a lot of potential to be a 2nd like center in the NHL. It will be interesting to see if the Leafs really do try to build from inside rather than just signing a ton of free agents. I don't believe they have turned the corner in that respect. I think they'll still go out and overpay a bunch of UFAs. They pretty much have to considering they don't have any centers left on that team unless they want Steen or Stajan as their #1 :death: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shrader Posted June 24, 2008 Report Share Posted June 24, 2008 I agree, let him get bought out first. Its probably a long shot, but I could see someone taking a shot at him with his $2 million cap hit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
apuszczalowski Posted June 24, 2008 Report Share Posted June 24, 2008 I would take him as a #2 (maybe even a #1b guy for $2.2 million. I really isn't horrible, he just can't play a full season, or a bunch of games in a row, he needs time off between starts (atleast this is what a Bruins fan I used to work with and I were discussing one day when he was starting with the Leafs). He would make a good backup. The Least of the Leafs worries were coaching and goaltending, so guess what they decide they should do first? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goodfella25 Posted June 25, 2008 Report Share Posted June 25, 2008 Wellwood was claimed by the Canucks. No surprise there, they need another center with Morrison leaving as a UFA. I can't figure how the Leafs weren't able to get at least something for Wellwood. A 6th round pick? 7th round? Nothing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's like Timmy, theres plenty of potential and upside with him, if he can stay healthy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hawerchuk Posted June 25, 2008 Report Share Posted June 25, 2008 Here is the link for Wellwood to 'Nucks. http://canucks.nhl.com/team/app/?service=p...ge&id=18196 Is Morrison going to leave Vancouver?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
