Leaf Rumours

I don't know, putting Clarkson with Lupul and Kadri would open up a lot of ice for Nazem.

That's where he's going to have to go, yeah. He's not a high-skill player despite his goal totals the last couple of years, but hopefully with linemates like those two he can score in the low 20s by going to the net and getting hit with sweet passes.

I do actually like him as a player, I'd be fine with him at a 3rd line role and price, but he's gonna get paid.

I agree with this.
 
Kulemin and clarkson are basically the same player both have the outlier 30 goal season but that is not who they are. A checking line of clarkson kulemin and someone would be great. But there is no way you pay second or first line money to those type of players.

I believe you instead of railing at you. And Mindzeye, Giroux for Phaneuf? That is hilarious. Phaneuf is NOT that well appreciated around the league. I personally like him, but he apparently can throw a stink in the dressing room that lingers longer than a bad turk. That is the kind of stuff that in a room of 20 plus people is IMPORTANT and never shows up on statistics.

Its also why it takes chemistry to build a team. And why Nonis might do some really wild shit. At the draft. Gardiner and Kessel might be on the way out. Both awesome players, but NOT Carlyle prototypes. They won't be given away, not at all, but they might be sent packing.

Kulemin is a presence,but Clarkson, to me anyways, really enjoys throwing a good old fashioned, well timed hurt into people, with clean hits. That minimize the damage to him and the team. I will invite him to every party. Great player.

The funniest thing in the whole Phaneuf thing is I was listening to Jeff O'Neill on the radio today saying that he likes Phaneuf as a player, but he doesn't like him as your leader and #1 defenseman at $6.5 million.

Pretty ironic coming from a second liner that made his career being an underserved cornerstone in Carolina.

Met O'Neil with Corson one night, was sort of shocked with how outspoken he was. Not a bad dude, but really had some opinions, I would think Bettman would want him nowhere near a microphone, much like Esposito was driven to the outskirts(radio). These two guys, Esposito and O'Neil would probably balk at warmongering like Cherry to maintain their tv presence.

Speaking of mongering. I was very suspicious right away with this An geli na Jo lie and her cutting her tired old titties off. Seemed very contrived. Especially since she doesn't appear to be in any danger.

Look at this chart of the stock that traded billions of dollars for insiders that went from 25-45 bucks on her "announcement" Now is an interesting chart pattern. LOLS.

Not saying she was paid, but all I will say it is something that appears to be very coincidental.
 
Why do we let Doc Brown out of the lab?

Seriously, what does this old fraud actually contribute to the conversation besides the occasional self-imposed aneurysm caused by rolling one's eyes too far back into one's head?

Been reading that he has requested his rights be traded earlier to get it done. This is from Devils bloggers

I think Phaneuf could go for a winger and the 7 from Edmonton. Although I ain't saying that is the right call.

Who's the winger? Kind of important. The 7 isn't enough for me to give up Phaneuf, not to mention our D is seriously hurting without him.
 
Don't envy Colorado in this draft, that's a tough tough call to make, and they must feel plenty of pressure to "fix" their D and take Jones.

MackInnon rumours at this point could easily just be bluffs.
 
And Mindzeye, Giroux for Phaneuf? That is hilarious.

Philly has no other single piece that would fulfill our needs enough to make sense for us to trade Dion.

Anything else we could get off of them would be a major step backwards.
