Leaf Rumours

Do you still think it was just depth if he tried to extend him?

Some pretty expensive depth.

You think it's plausible he was talking cheap extension with him, with the plan of him being a #2 to Reimer?

That doesn't go with what BL said about Nonis being what's best for the future of Scrivens, does it?

 

[PKForce81]

Yeah, I heard it. GMs do things you like and things you don't. It's always the case. On the balance things so far, he's been overwhelmingly positive.

He's done ok so far imo. Some of the calls have been made by Carlyle anyway. This Kipper thing is all Nonis though.

 

[worm]

Yeah, shame on him for looking for some depth. Jesus.

You cannot seriously believe they were looking for a $5.8m third string goalie?

That's what he said he was doing. I believe him, yes.

My question is genuine, and has zero to do with what anyone said previously......I just wanted 101's opinion.

 

[worm]

It's not a logical conclusion at all. You don't give a guy an extension for a year beyond when you're planning on sending him to the AHL. It doesn't make any sense.

sounds about as smart as teeds method of picking up women


might end up being the third stringer like komi/finger

but that isn't why you talk extention

Yeah, whatever. I'm sick of being bashed for having this opinion so I'm just gonna shut up and thank god Kipper said "he didn't feel right taking an extension, because he didn't want to come here and let us down". See? Even Kipper knows he sucks.

heh.

 

[JackBurton]

I'm so glad we stuck with our young, cheap goalies putting up solid numbers and getting us to the playoffs.

Luongo even agrees his contract is terrible and no one wants him.

What?

 

[hockeylover]

What?

ie) Dawson's crying pictures, acting like it's silly to worry about Nonis trying to do... exactly what he admitted tried to do today

I think it's very possible that you hated Burke so much that you're overeager to defend Nonis. He was saved by Kiprusoff refusing today, IMO.

 

[mbow30]

nonis was definitely saved by kipper saying no.

this is fine, though.

if reimer gets hurt again or falters in the playoffs the goalie market is wide open next summer with a whole whack of solid free agent tenders plus luongo ripe for the picking.

This. No matter how we ended up getting there, this.

 

[BeLeafer]

It was silly. He was looking for goaltending depth, not a guy to replace Reimer. Which is what was silly to think. Saying so is not bashing.

For ****'s sake. 5.8 million is not a good option for depth. How is that silly?

Yep.


This "Kipper extension" talk though is f*cking fascinating....love to know what was going through his head, and what kind of extension he was considering.

 

[Montana]

Did anyone say that was a silly viewpoint? No.

Quite the opposite in fact.....virtually everyone agreed it would be silly to (a) acquire him to be the #1, and (b) take on his full salary/extend him, if he was the #2.
