Leaf Rumours

I spent three years arguing with virtually every last person around here that the Leafs should fire Wilson and he was defended tooth and nail, but one rumour from an unreliable source without nary a detail of the purported deal or anything and many are prepared to fire Nonis. Holy ****.
 
yes using the media to make Gillis sweat....

I heard today on the radio that a buy out of Luongo in this off season would have the cap hit go until something like 2030? something stupid like this. Is this if they did the buy out as not part of the amnesty? Isn't that what the amnesty does, just causes the team to escape by paying cash
 
Leafs are talking to Kipper's reps about a contract extension?? Is this a joke?

He's 36, having a career worst season, and still signed through next year.

What would this do to Reimer? And pretty much would spell the end of Scrivens, who I'm guessing would go the other way.

Wow, Nonis, I always thought you were the brains behind Burke's trades. Maybe you were the brains behind his UFA signings instead.

Consider the source. This is coming from Dregs (of reporting). Nonis has said on TSN1050 that he is happy with our guys and basically just wants something to shore up the position. He is not a ****ing idiot and isn't going to endanger our future. Please let's take a deep breath and just let things play out.

I think the whole Kipper thing is a pure smokescreen ... or at least I hope so.

That, or Nonis knows something the us, Leafs fans, and the entire hockey world don't know about Kipper.

Trading for Kipper would be stupid enough. Contract extension?? That's beyond stupid.
 
Andy Strickland ‏@andystrickland 10s

The #stlblues will move a Dman to make room for Bouwmeester. Including JayBo the Blues have 24 roster players. 9 D-men

Isn't the contract up for Pietrangelo and Shattenkirk. Maybe these deals cause them to move Shattenkirk

I would take him for sure.
 
It's entirely possible Nonis simply isn't as much of a fan of Reimer as Burke was.

Maybe he thinks Reimer is fragile.

Maybe he has doubts that Reimer can handle a starter's workload. After all, the last time that happened was way back in the WHL, and Reimer hasn't cracked 40 games in a season in any league since.

If they say we've asked for permission to speak to them, I believe that. This isn't hockeybuzz, it's TSN.

Even if that's the case, replacing him with Kipper would be the pinnacle of stupidity.

Even if Kipper returns to his former glory, his numbers are still only AS good as Reimers, or worse. Why would we not bet on our own guy and not waste assets and cap space for that wash-up?
