Leaf Rumours

Wow. Spoken like a true Spokane Oil Chief.

SHUT UP

I'm pretty sure the Leafs forum would have a lot more members if it wasn't for a P.O.S. like you derailing every thread.

Start a thread about your perpetual motion machine and quit littering up the hockey threads
 
The Leafs would have a lot more people on the forum if we had a winning franchise you moron. And don't look now, but there also hasn't been any hockey to discuss lately, as there has been no season. Muttonhead.
 
Maybe that is a good idea..... Teeds why don't you post this stuff in the Science Thread.. or make an "inventions" thread so that we can talk about Rumours here and not have it derailed. Cuz I check this to read up on rumours (although not that many now) and don't like when I look in here and notice its totally off topic.

Just an idea.

There are a multitude of reasons.

1) You need to find a team that is vulnerable.... either the team has a cash flow issue, or a salary cap issue. If not they will just match your offer sheet.
2) You need to overpay the player in question to discourage the other team from matching.


Now that you've done this.... it has to be a special player because

1) You've been forced to overpay him.
2) You have to give up a lot in assets and draft picks to get him.

or Dustin Penner.


Burke (and all GMs) should not have been blindsided by anything as the Oilers did an offer sheet with Vanek.
 
F*ck that, I don't want teeds nonsense in a legitimate science thread derailed......if anything we should do what should have been done eons ago, which is make a dedicated thread for all of teeds' "information".

He wants to discuss an invention of his, or some inside information, he doesn't have to derail any legitimate threads, he can post about it their. He wants to talk about the topic at hand? He's more than welcome to, but all topics that have zilch to do with the topic of the thread, goes to the "teeds thread"

How about this discussion? How stupid a package will Burke give Vancouver for Luongo? I am saying over the top stupid. Discuss?
 
If Burke does trade for Luongo, let's just say that the Vancouver fans that have had visions of assets like Jake Gardiner, Nazem Kadri or Leaf first round picks will howl with indignation at Gillis for the return he actually gets.

Unless Gillis decides he's willing to trade Lou to Chicago, Toronto is literally his only other option. And I think Burke would happily roll the dice on Reimer (especially in a shortened season) rather than be forced to stupidly overpay.

What would u deem the Kadri/Bozak rumored package? (I assume you've already stated your opinion on that, I'm just too lazy to look it up)

Personally I think that would be the absolute max Burke would pay, and that it would be a steal for us in terms of talent in/talent out. (While acknowloging it's far more than I expected it to cost)
 
I'd say Kadri and Bozak is about right. Two younger supporting players.

If Luongo was under contract for 5 years instead of 10, the price would be more commensurate with his talent -- ie, it would cost Gardiner, etc.
 
If Burke had any plans on selling the farm for Luongo, it would have been done before the lockout...back when it was reported that Gillis was asking for Gardiner and quite clearly, Burke wasn't doing that deal.

Vancouver's only real chance at receiving value in this deal is Brian Burke's misplaced sense of not wanting to **** other GM's over, or the way the new CBA treats those retirement contracts increasing the size of the market for Luongo.

Those assets could be involved if they make Kesler available.

Kesler would look pretty good between Lupul and Kessel.
 
That would be a big trade.... definitely has Burke written all over it.

but i still dont want to see Gardiner go.

Burke's "honour" is one thing the Canucks have going for them in a potential deal...but at the same time, Burke and Gillis aren't exactly the best of friends. If there's one GM currently in the league who's feet Burke will want to hold over the fire, it's probably Gillis.

Vancouver has about a 2-3 window left, they're not trading their #1 centre for anything but an upgrade.

Well, Kesler's not their #1 center, but your point remains true. If they've still got Cup aspirations, trading him for a downgrade at center doesn't make sense for them.
 
I just hope there is NOT a season, cause I am hearing from five different sources, that they think Burke will trade the moon to get Luongo, and that it will be more than Kadri and Bozak. Gardiner and our first are wanted badly by Vancouver, and MLSE is breathing down Burke and Nonis' neck to get competitive again.

The only reason you hope there is not a season is that so there is no way to have your lies proven wrong, and so you can have a 6-8 month window to come up with why circumstances changed when the league comes back and BB doesn't " give up the moon" or why the definition of "moon" changed in your world.
