Leaf Rumours

Chicago's Daily Herald...

The Blackhawks have talked to Toronto about Patrick Sharp, among other clubs, according to a team source.

Where those discussions go now is unclear, but what is clear is that players like Sharp ($4 million), Dustin Byfuglien ($3 million), Kris Versteeg ($3 million) and Cam Barker ($3 million) are available because a movable contract today may not be movable a year from now if the player doesn't perform next season.

I can't see this trade happening. But IF it does, it would work out in NJ's favour. Broduer is geting up their in age, isnt the goalie he used to be, and maybe has 2 seasons left in him, better to get something for him then lose him for nothing. Semin is a 40 goal winger, who's only 24, and his best years are ahead of him, NJ would be getting a legit sniper for many years to come.

I don't know if it's just me, but this guy cracks me up
 
Well this one is new, I promise:

From Elliotte Friedman's 30 Thoughts:

19. There are people around the league who really hate the All-Star Game, but it's not going anywhere. About 20 teams are interested in hosting it, with Burke saying Toronto would do it every three years if possible.

27. Despite the snickering from Calgary, also understand why Toronto made Dion Phaneuf captain. Burke/Wilson recognize Phaneuf needs to mature, and they hope the "C" pushes him in that direction. During the media conference, Phaneuf listened intently as George Armstrong, Darryl Sittler and Wendel Clark talked about being the leader.

This is a chance for him to lose the immature label everyone seems to give him so he will take full advantage and prove the doubters wrong.

No offense to a lot of captains around the league but being handed the C of this team is a huge responsability, more so then most teams and I expect him to regain his form because of it.
 
I don't see Philly having much use for Kaberle now that they have Timmonen and have to resign Coburn
 
They already had Timonen when they made the offer the first time around.

And both he and Pronger have taken a few steps back offensively, so they really could use a guy like Kabby. They are also really top heavy and have Gagne and Carter due for extensions after the year, so I could see one or both of them being moved for D and goaltending help.
 
Carter should be the odd man out in Philly. For bascially the reasons Eliott Friedman says. THey have too many C, and Carter isnt as good on the wing.

He's an RFA soon, and was a key part of the early dressing room rift.
 
More importantly than that, they have Giroux and JVR on the 3rd line, so they can afford to move a top 6 forward or two.
 
Philly has the same use for Kaberle and Timmonen that Chicago has for Keith & Campbell.

It never hurts to have 2-3 really good puck movers on your blueline.
 
The only thing about that is Montreal has a lot of money committed up front. Can they really afford to give Carter $6+ after next year. Especially if they can just re-up Plekanec for under $5.

I'm not really sure how much of an upgrade Carter is on Plekanec.

I don't think it makes much sense for them.
