The Panthers believe their pending trade for Bryan McCabe from Toronto for Mike Van Ryn will give them four very good defensemen ( Jay Bouwmeester, Keith Ballard, McCabe, Bryan Allen), and they will consider trading Bouwmeester only if he doesn't agree to a new contract before the March trade deadline.

They are getting rid of everyone so they can "rebuild". What exactly are they going to rebuild with? I understand they need to get younger but.........They need some sort of NHL caliber players.

bostongm, good point. Parrish could help them out, even though he's just a drop in the bucket. The Leafs need at lesat 7-8 nhl-ready forwards...

There's nobody on the Leafs that is equal to quality of a player as JayBo. He's one of the best young defensemen in the league.

The Panthers will have a pretty decent defensive group and goalie but that's about it. They need some good fowards now. JayBo isnt going to stick around unless they try and put a competetive team on the ice.

"Panthers want to keep Bouwmeester" Really? Breaking news this one! I want 10 million dollars and a super model girlfriend, but I don't see that happening any time soon either. Barring a miracle, J.B. will be dealt at the trade deadline b/c he wont sign a long term deal there.
