I think Toronto is still trying to lure Wendel Clark out of retirement for $5 million a season.

That's probably because no one would even give up a fourth round draft pick for those two plumbers.

Thornton re-signs with Boston.
Lindros with Toronto a done deal.
Lecavalier looking to sign long term with Tampa Bay; will take less money if core of team can be kept intact.

The problem is who to replace Cloutier with. Khabiboulin was the only big name goalie out there, and you'd think that given Cloutier's solid regular season performances, he'll come around in the playoffs eventually - he wasn't looking too bad before he went down in 2003. I guess they could have tried to get Thibault. Not sure if that would have been an improvement.
Beyond that, who really is a proven playoff performer that would be A) available for trade and B) not geriatric?
The Sedins could go for a bag of pucks, though.

Well, the Leafs started off slow and didn't pay any big bucks for a franchise performer, but they've put together a potential contender. Still need to pick up a another winger.
Lindros, Allison, and O'Neil all have the potential for a banner year (or a bandage year). With Sundin, the Leafs can put together two powerful lines that will outscore any other team, particularly if the Leafs can pick up a guy like Anson Carter or maybe Deadmarsh.
Yeah, a lot of these guys have had bad injuries, but they've also have had lots of time to recuperate. They'll be healthy and ready to go.
More importantly, the Leafs have players with links to Toronto, who understand the history and meaning of being a Leaf. These types of players always outperform for the Leafs.
Lindros is the only potential problem. He was a whiny bastard, now hopefully he'll just be a bastard on ice.
On the D-side, McCabe isn't a pronger, but he's still got the stuff to be among the top 10 Ds in the league. Kaberle and Khavanov will be incredible now that the NHL rules are more they are used to. Their speed will more than make up for any potential softness (although Kaberle was playing hard in the last World Cup. If he brings that game to Toronto, no one will be complaining about him). Klee is old, but he'll be good in front of the net.
Eddie in goal, no problem. He knows how to stay in shape.

They said that years ago and he still winning games. Besides, he's one of the more exciting goalies to watch. He gets the job done year in, year out.
Meanwhile, will Kipper become another Guigere, a flash in the pan?
