Leaf Rumours

I bet you giguere retires when his leaf contract runs out, because he doesn't dare leave the city.
 
Hell Carter almost scored 50 goals two seasons ago. I don't think that will be his yearly total, but that's impressive as hell. He's a damn good Canadian player.
 
I can't see us trading Giguere anyways - medical issues or not - we finally got good goaltending, why mess with it when he has just a year left and we can let Gus take his time under a solid mentor.
 
He's STRONG. Strong is different than tough.

Phaneuf is tough. Carter is strong, and we don't need him to be bashing heads in with Dion around to do it for him.

Burke won't trade him.

Maybe at the deadline if heaven forbid we're out of it again, but under no other circumstances, so you can forget about it.
 
why are you guys so against trading a $6 mil backup goalie? that's crazy.

J.Giguere (33): $6.0
J.Gustavsson (25): $1.35
J.Rynnas (23): $1.225
B.Scrivens (24): $0.69
J.Reimer (22): $0.496667
 
also, as we've seen already, goalies don't have much trade value.. especially one that makes 6.5 million. I think our goaltending is 100% set for next year.
 
you guys are nuts.

The guy costs $6 million dollars. He was already in an even platoon with Gus when Gus was a rookie. He'll certainly fade to backup status this year. We just signed the two top undrafted free agent goalies in the world. And we have one of the best AHL goalies from last year.

And Burke would never have even taken Giguere and his contract on this team unless it unabled him to get rid of another unwanted contract.

Spend that money on a good forward, you crazy kids.

Trading Kaberle is going to be the MISTAKE this year that equals the playing of Toskala for ten straight games last year.

MLSE always has to re-invent a way to finish out of the playoffs. This will be their means to that end this year.

Sorry to be negative, but trusting alcoholics and cocaine addicts to consistently lead this team is brutal to watch.

And to rely on them to do the hardest thing in professional sports(treading upstream through the defensive zone with forwards divebombing on you) is insane.

Chiarelli is probably making sure Burke has as much Chivas as he can send without being obvious for this dismal move.

I will still cheer the Leafs with Beachemin and Phaneuf trying to bring the puck up, but it will be infinitely harder without the best defenceman the Leafs have EVER had leading the way.

I hope he is traded to a team that will properly showcase this guys impeccable skills.

Trading him is something only a moron would do.

No forward except six or seven is worth trading this guy for. JUST not worth it all.

It's moronic to not trade him. Kaberle has 1 year left on his deal, and after that will be looking for a massive pay increase, something the leafs likely can't afford (we already have too much cap tied up in the blue line right now), plus Kabs is at his peak, meaning right now would be the best trade time for him. The leafs are in solid shape on the backend, losing Kabs will sting, but it wouldnt be a massive impapct on the backend, and we really need a big scoring winger, Kaberle is our best way to get that. You trade from your strenghts to fix up your weaknesess.
