Leaf Rumours

I don't want anything to do with Clarkson... dude hasn't scored more than 40 points ever?? I'd rather keep Kulemin.

Zajac is nice... he's a big dude but doesn't play like it though. Eff Jersey, let Lou's ship slowly sink with that fat ass brodeur.
 
I know... Zajac and Parise are untouchable.

I love Parise though... oh but not in a Pierre Macguire sort of way.

Jersey I think is at the beginning of a down turn. Elias is getting older and weaker... Parise is great, but their defense is not.

It takes the whole team effort to play defense and I think Brodeur has little left.

I don't want Clarkson as mentioned before. He's a good third liner but we don't need that.
 
But can you see him parting with Zakac for him? Praise and Zajac are his two main pieces on that team. And I am with you on Clarkson. I'd rather keeps Kabs and sign Torres if that is what we would be getting in return
 
Not a rumour or anything, was just wondering to myself, would you guys be up for signing John Madden as a UFA to take up 4 line and PK duties? I know he's old, but he could really help some of the young centers, IMO.
 
Madden is apparantly looking for a raise on his 2.75M contract he recieved last season. Not sure that makes sense for Burke,.......or anyone else for that matter
 
yeah see, I'd be interested if he made a reasonable number, a bit more than Orr. But if he's looking for a raise forget it.

Lou isn't getting Kaberle for clarkson and some prospect. He'll have to give to get -- this isn't JFJ he's dealing with.

I think you may be disappointed if you believe that.......as much as I personally wouldn't do that deal, the word on the street is Burke was hard after Clarkson at the trade deadline (in trade talks for Kaberle) and Lou turned him down.


If they offer up Clarkson + Tendenby for instance.......I imagine it's a fait accomplis.

That's not really consistent with the other types of assets that have reputedly been on the table in Kaberle discussions.

I'm sure he'd like to have Clarkson but it's ridiculous to think Clarkson is worth one of the top offensive dmen in hockey.

If that's the best offer Burke can get then we obviously re-sign Kabs.
 
The only offer that's actually been reported, was the Stafford offer......a deal built around Clarkson is better than a deal built around Stafford.


I don't like the idea of either deal...........but I know Burke loves Clarkson, and from the sounds of things, he was willing to pull the trigger on Kaberle for Clarkson + type deal at the deadline. So if the Devils are rumored to be among the 'strongest bidders'.......I assume it's a similar type deal, to the one Burke wanted last winter.

Toss in the negotiation rights to both Kovalchuk and Martin and I could see this going somewhere...
