You know, I've been thinking. If Mats Sundin returns, and the Maple Leafs dip into the free agent market and get him some help, perhaps the Leafs can contend in the Eastern Conference as early as next season.I'm thinking playoffs Yes, I'm serious No, really Hear me out But remember, it all depends on what Sundin decides to do If he doesn't return, all bets are off.I love July 1st. Not only is it a holiday thanks to Canada Day, it's also the day the NHL's free agency period opens up July 1st is capitalism at its finest, man. Supply is always low, and demand is always high.The big day is finally upon us, and here's my wish list:1) Mats SundinYou all know where I stand on the big Swede.
I won't be mad if he leaves, but first and foremost I want him to stay a Maple Leaf.2) Curtis JosephCujo has been rumoured for the vacant backup goalie job, and I'm all over that. By helping Canada win the Spengler Cup and playing some solid hockey for the Calgary Flames in the playoffs, Cujo proved he's still got some hockey left in his 42-year-old body. While I was pissed that he bolted for Detroit a few years ago, I'd love nothing more than for him to come and finish his career in Toronto.An actual NHL-calibre backup goalie - none of this Andrew Raycroft garbage of the last two years - will do wonders for the Maple Leafs. Think about it: the Leafs totalled 83 points last season and Raycroft won only two of the 16 games he started in goal. If Raycroft won six more games and finished with eight wins, the Leafs would have finished tied with the Philadelphia Flyers with 95 points I know, Raycroft sucks That's why he's gone.
I have no doubt Curtis Joseph can eclipse Raycroft's stellar .125 winning percentage.3) Sean AveryWith Darcy Tucker no longer part of the team, I think it makes all the more sense to try and land the 28-year-old Sean Avery. He's proved his worth as a hockey player, and a douchebag, over the last two years with the New York Rangers, and would go a long way in making the Maple Leafs a tougher team to play against I don't care if you don't like him I was never a big fan of Darcy Tucker Until he became a Maple Leaf.Make it happen, Uncle Cliff Show Avery the money I have no problem paying Avery $4 or $4.5 million a season. That seems to be the going rate for a guy who can score 20 goals and put up 45 to 50 points.4) Kristian HuseliusHuselius really came into his own over the last two seasons in Calgary. He put up 77 points in 2006/2007 and put up 66 points last season while finding himself constantly in Mike Keenan's doghouse.
