Leaf Rumours

I'd be thrilled to see the Hurricanes take Komisarek off our hands, but Nonis should not under any circumstances make a deal that would see us retain any of Komisarek's cap hit next season. And obviously, besides that concern I could really care less what they give us in return.
 
It would need to be a pick or a prospect or we will just be in the same roster situation we are now (unless other moves are made at the same time)
 
I was looking for a bad contract that the Canes might include in a deal for Komi, and they don't really have any.

Jim Rutherford has built a nice young core with Staal, Staal, Skinner, Semin, Pitkanen, Ward etc that has a lot of flexibility.
 
It doesn't make any sense to trade Komi unless you it's a draft pick deal, which no club would likely do. Other clubs will try and dump their bad contracts in return. The Leafs can just use the amnesty in the summer.
 
you never know. some cap floor team might take a chance on one year of his contract. it lets them get under the cap floor if they want, remember.
 
Komi is tradable because next year his salary is lower than his cap hit, and only one year left. You'd have to eat some salary though. i'd rather just amnisty him.

Possible for sure. But I'm not counting on it happening.

Maybe the Isles take a hard look. They have some UFA's and injuries.
 
According to Damien Cox's twitter feed, Burke offered up Kadri, Bozak, and a pick for Luongo at the deadline last year.

Vancouver got greedy and demanded Gardiner, Frattin, and a 1st.


man, we almost fired Burke too late.

I don't know how much of that I believe, but if that's true, both GM's are morons.

Christ....
 
I dunno about that ... Luongo's contract makes his true trade value pretty low (the fact he still is a Canuck says a lot) but if Burke really offered Kadri, Bozak + pick then he's a moron.
 
Gotta wonder if there wasn't another deal in the works there as well. Trading both Bozak and Kadri would have meant a serious gap down the middle. ..or I guess Carlyle would have been forced to use JvR as a centre and keep Connolly in the mix. YUCK!
 
There's no way Burke offered that.... after all the deals i've seen Burke make, there is no way Burke offers something like that.

And if by some chance he did, im so glad he's gone.
