Leaf Rumours

According to Dreger there is a rumour going around that we may trade Finger to teh Blackhawks for Huet. this deal doesnt make any sense, hopefully if true there is a third team involved maybe teh Flyers for Briere and a pick?

Unless Chicago is burying Finger in the minors for the rest of his contract then i say no thanks
 
If Burke can get the Hawks to take Finger and find someone who likes Huet, that could be a great trade and would easily steal the show on deadline day. We all know Burkie loves the spotlight.

Rumour is the Hawks are looking at Vokoun, so you need to give to get, if true.

I get that.

but if it's true that Burke can flip Huet after getting him then why doesnt Chicago just do it?....I hate Huet's contract but at least he is an NHL talent. Finger is an abortion.

Now, that being said if Bowman and co have permission to take Finger and pay him his 3.75M to play in Rockford for the rest of his life, thus not affecting the cap. Then i'd welcome this with open arms.

Assuming there is truth i can see...

Huet for Finger

Versteeg, Aliu, 1st for Vokoun
 
I know Finger's contract is bad, but why would we take Huet's $4.3M for next season? At least you can use a depth defenseman, but to add Huet to the mix of JSG and Gustavsson?

If we get Huet, Gusto is bolting in the offseason.

The idea would be to flip Huet to someone like Philly, but it seems like the deal/idea is dead in the water.
 
Yeah ... I mean, if Philly want Huet, they could deal directly with Chicago.

I can see Chicago opting for a better goalie like Vokoun, and they're looking for someone to take Huet's contract off their hands. I get that. And if it's a F / D with bad contract at least we can use him as a depth player, as long as a good enough pick / prospect is coming our way. A 'depth goalie' just doesn't make sense though.
 
Only reason would be to deal him to Philly for Briere. But given the Leafs aren't exactly swimming in cap space now, doesn't make too much sense.
 
maybe you get Huet because Gusto is bolting
/shrug

I cant see the leafs doing anything but selling for picks/prospects.

Mueller perhaps.
 
If Vokoun goes to Chicago, they become my number one pick to win the cup this year. That team will be scary good.

Maple Leafs have a few offers on the table right now for some of their guys, including Ponikarovsky (and no, Kaberle isn't one of them)
