Leaf Rumours

TSNBobMcKenzie May be busiest two weeks in NHL for trades since the lockout, outside of deadline days of course. Lots of teams looking to do big things.

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.

Or just do that next summer
 
Burke brought Giguere in because hes a solid goalie with an intense work ethic, we need someone like that to a) provide consistent goaltending b) be a mentor to gustavasson. No way in hell will Giguere be a backup, hes making too much $$$ to sit on the bench, he'll be our starting goalie, look for him to have at least 50-55 games. If the monster shows he can be a legit goalie, Burke can easily trade Giguere at the deadline.

I thought you said that was a hockey trade all around?? Funny squeak.

Anyway, I can't believe you are advocating putting the net in the hands of Gus, who had an up and down year and only really stabilized once JS got here, and one of the rookies, who together have zero games of NHL experience between them.

I have no problem with Giggy's contract, as it expires after this year. Big whoop. We have tons of cap space to blow on an expensive forward or two. Especially if we can unload Grabs and Beauch at the same time.

And of course there's the fact that Burke won't trade Giggy after he got him to waive his NTC to come here. He won't even consider it, moreso because this guy won a Cup for Burke and Burke no doubt has tons of confidence in him to be a true #1 for us.
 
Pronger84 calls Sharp a dime a dozen player then calls someone else an idiot?

That's pretty funny.
