Leaf Rumours

Bolland is getting pretty overrated defensively here.

Bolland
Corsi: -1.35
GAon/60: 2.95
QofComp: 0.086
Save%on: .898

Its not like he is a Selke candidate there. He's alright.
 
All of bollard's defensive indicators were poor - +/-, corsi, goals against per 60. Among the worst on the team.

He's a 37 point player who isn't close to being an impact defensive player. He sucks.

Man, that chick is on fire!


There's an SNL skit waiting to happen just from that one album cover.
 
This isn't a rumor but it's too bad Burke has such strong "morals" and that he's such a respectful and kind GM because he really should be all over offer sheeting Jamie Benn right about now. Benn+Luongo, and this team is easily a playoff team next year and that will only make those draft picks we would pay as compensation extremely mediocre. Of course we'd have to heavily overpay for the Stars to not match and Burke is too moral to acquire and overpay for talent and improve our team so it's unlikely.
 
I don't think it's so much about morals, but if the Weber deal was matched then there is no way a Benn deal wouldn't be matched either. I mean Dallas just lost Ribeiro, I don't think they would let Benn go.

Dallas matches any offer on Benn. They have 15 mil in cap space and 4 of their top 6 paid players are off the books next year.

I'd love to get Benn though...
 
Did I miss something? Did the Flyers get penalized for trying such a bold move? It's better than standing pat and hoping your team that finished 5th last magically improves next year.

Stars may have Cap space, but I'm pretty sure they have a pretty strict internal budget. Offer a similarly structured deal as the Weber one, and it's possible they can't match.
 
Howard Berger ‏@Berger_BYTES

One of my bird-dogs insisted today #Leafs are working diligently to acquire help in goal; a deal could be on the horizon. Bernier?

It's Howard Berger but whatever, why not. I can't imagine Burke being stupid enough to go with Reimer-Scrivens next year despite the load of crap he spews to the media about that (which is understandable). Let's hope we don't give up too much if it is indeed Bernier.

Either would do nicely imo. Luongo would be better in the short term, and make us a playoff team immediately. Bernier & Reimer though, for some reason just give me a good feeling as a tandem going forward.

Luongo is my preference, but I wouldn't be choked if we landed Bernier for Frattin + and avoided Luongo because Gillis was asking for Gardiner or Kadri +
 
I hope that Burke went to Gillis and said.... hey look at what a younger, shorter term, 6 time 30 goal scorer, with a ntc went for..... you know your not getting a better return than that... Here is a fair offer, I am sure that Florida is coming at you with this same information... so here is Macarthur, player x, and Connolly
