You can whine and bitch all you like. I don't think I told anyone they couldn't. I'll opine on it just as anyone is free to when I bitch about Bozak.

shame on him for looking at the very worst option for a depth addition in the entire league.

That's another issue but one that is debatable. You're basing it on 17 games and without any evidence of how Kiprusoff may have performed in that role rather than as a starter. Further, he would have cost peanuts. A very low risk option, unless you think, as you did/do(?), that he was trying to smuggle him in to replace Reimer.
 
Every scenario you folks are running with assumes that Nonis is basically an idiot or a liar. Ya, I take issue with that. I remember Quinn getting run out of town over such stuff and how that screwed the Leafs for the next 8 years.

Your scenarios make him look like an idiot too.

My scenarios take him at his word. If you think he's an idiot for trying to get Kiprusoff to be a depth goaltender, that's fine. I don't think it was the best thing to try to do. It clearly didn't work and it's pretty questionable if it would have worked out regardless. Does that make him an idiot? Hardly.

But one injury to Reimer and Scrivens stumbling and we'll be wishing we had goaltending depth.

Not 36 year old, 5.8 million dollar goaltending depth signed to an extension. I will have zero regrets about not getting Kiprusoff. None.
 
The fact Nonis turned down Scrivens + two 2nds and didn't even make a counter.......makes me drool at the thought of how cheaply we're gonna land him this summer.
 
I just watched the Nonis interview. Those quotes about Bozak conveniently left off the 2nd half of his statement which was essentially "if we lose him for nothing in the offseason we are comfortable with that. That is one of the reasons we didn't trade some of the depth in our system today. In case guys walk."

Oh man....Nonis is going to get Luongo for so f*cking cheap this summer. Or, Reimer keeps playing how he has thus far, making it redundant.

How bad does Reimer have to flop in the playoffs for the Leafs to go out and get Luongo at a bargain basement price?

Sounds like Colborne for Bozak to me....

I suspect that had the price been right today...that Nonis would have acquired Luongo........but if Reimer plays at the .920+ level from here on out including playoffs, say 40 games total? It'd be pretty damn intriguing to see if he still had any interest.

If Reimer finishes the year where he was prior to the Sens game (.916 or lower)......I think you can probably go buy your Luongo jersey the day our season ends.

I didn't leave anything out purposefully. He also said:

Nonis on Bozak talk: "If the player wants to be here and we want him, my experience has been that generally we find a way to make it happen"
