Leafs send Beauchemin to Ducks for Lupul, Gardiner and fourth-round pick

Beauchemin is going back to the team where he had the most sucess.

Ok, if you want another player who has been injurned a few times recentley and has lost his goal-scoring form, Toronto made a great trade.

The Toronto Maple Leafs have shipped defenceman Francois Beauchemin back to the Anaheim Ducks in exchange for forward Joffrey Lupul, defenceman Jake Gardiner and a conditional Ducks' fourth-round draft pick in the 2013 Entry Draft.

The 30-year old Beauchemin struggled during his time in Toronto after signing as a free agent in 2009, however he helped the Ducks capture the Stanley Cup in 2007.

In Return The Leafs get a good young player in Jake Gardiner. He is a very fast skater. If you like Keith Aulie, you will like this guy. He has good hands and good strength, even though he weighs less the 180 pounds.

Lupul, on the other hand, has been injurned for most of this season and last. He had only 14 points last year, and is on pace for only 20 this year. He has had 50 points twice in his career.

Keep Ron Wilson! (AND SEND DOWN BOZAK!!!)

Im tired of all the booing. People want Ron Wilson out of town. So basiaclly, Leaf Fans, you want one of the best coaches ever to coach the game out of Toronto, where it doesn't who the coach is because the team is a peice of crap. Kessel, your top player, is not producing. Is It Kessel's fault? No. He has no one to play with. Kadri was called up and is now playing with Kessel, but Nazem wasn't good enough to make the team in the first place. He was benched in the AHL, but now hes getting asked to play with one of the streakiest players in the NHL? Shows how bad the team is.

Wilson is a great coach. But you cant win with a team that plays like they belong in Timbits. They have blown leads in recent years about as many times as Montreal have won the Stanley Cup. A recent loss against Tampa Bay proves my point. They blew a 2-0 lead and lost 4-3. If they cant maintain leads, its not Wilson's fault. Wilson isn't on the ice, he is behind the bench. You can blame Brian Burke more then you can blame Wilson, as he is the one who traded, drafted or signed most of the players. You can also blame John Ferguson Jr for past Leafs Struggles. Same with Cliff Fletcher. He is the one who spent all the money on Jeff Finger.

In Other News....

I Think Tyler Bozak belongs with the Marlies. He started as the first line center. Now he's getting shifted around every game. That's not what they need him doing. They are putting a young players career in jeperody. He can get alot more ice time and better oppurtunities in the AHL. Isn't the reason they wanted Kadri down the street with the Marlies is because they didn't want him playing in a checking role? Kadri won't stay much longer with the big club, as he went from first line center to fourth line center in one game. If they dont want to send Bozak down and he wont perform on The Maple Leafs, ship him off in a deal to get either Blake Wheeler from Boston, Wayne Simmonds from the Kings or Brad Richards From Dallas.
