Leaf Rumours

[Cojo]

Thornton will be 34 heading into next season .... we sure thats the road we want to go down?

 

[Leafin']

Holy smokes, i forgot how old Thornton is now. Time flies.

He's only signed for one more year after this, so depending on the cost.

Then again, Getzlaf in the summer for FREE sounds best.

JVR - Thornton/Getzlaf - Kessel
Lupul - Kadri - Frattin

Is a nice top-6.

Always liked big Joe, always wanted to trade for him but this is probably not the best road to head down. The price will be high I am sure despite only having one year left on his contract.

 

[Cojo]

Yea exactly... atleast Perry and Getz buys you another 5-7 years of playing time potentially.

 

[Leafin']

I'd move Grabovski and Kulemin in a package for Thornton without batting an eyelash.

 

[Habsy]

Who wouldn't?

 

[BeLeafer]

I'd move them plus Bozak and MacArthur ... and I'm not exactly wild about grabbing Joe at this age.

Of course what SJ would do with all those bodies, I have no idea.

 

[JackBurton]

That Sharks team is the slowest in the NHL. It's over for them.

Nobody wants them. You seem to think they have value which is false.

Its not they they dnt have value...just not as a tandem for a star

If the Sharks move Joe it will be a hockey deal for another star or for a package of prospects.

 

[PlayerToBeNamedLater]

I think everyone on the Leafs roster is tradeable, with the exception of Komi.

Shouldn't have to use the amnesty for anyone other than Komi imo.

Tradeable is one thing...but piling on multiple of those guys to get a Thornton type is insane

Its the definition of 2 dimes for a quarter.

You mean like the package SJ got him for?

They aren't going to get the moon for a 34 year old with only a year on his deal.

They aren't going to get the moon for a 34 year old with only a year on his deal.

But they arent going to settle for 2/3rd liners on bad contracts in their late 20's either.

Not in a cap world


It will either be prospects, cap relief, or struggling star

 

[PlayerToBeNamedLater]

Kulemin isn't on a bad contract though.

 

[MapleLeafBlueJayBoy]

Kuley sucks balls! 9 goals in 86 games. Enough said.

 

[PlayerToBeNamedLater]

Do you know what you get nowadays for 2.8 mill?

Brandon Prust.

Kulemin, even the sucky version, is still worth that kind of money.

 

[worm]

Prust is 2.5 and was a UFA

 

[MapleLeafBlueJayBoy]

Maybe so but I don't want him on my team.

That entire mac, Grabo, kuley line is useless and can shipped off for all I care.
