Leaf Rumours

That's what they're essentially suggesting I guess. If Berglund's available what do you guys think of him as a Leaf target?

I don't

He wouldn't qualify for the help now that Burke so desperately wants, and there is nothing sans Kaberle that would require the help now on D that St Louis seemingly needs.
 
Berglund had a down year but he still has future all-star potential. His size and strength down the middle is somewhat reminiscient of Sundin's style of play. Get him into an expanded role in a better situation and I feel like he'd excel.
 
Yeah I don't see St Louis and us as trading partners with Kaberle, but if Berglund were available, I'd love to see us make an attempt at him. Last year will prove to be an anomaly I believe.

That said, I doubt Burke has any real interest.
 
anyone listening to am 640?? was watters diddled by the mlse ushers?

He and the host were talking that the draft is the ONLY way to build a contending team in the post lockout NHL, and that (get this) Toronto would be a better team with STajan Hagman and White and the assets than Kessel and Phaneuf.

Watters then proceeded to say that he's seen white play for 3 years and Phaneuf play for a third as a leaf and can say that White brings more to the table for less money.

WTF... they are is serious jeopardy to losing the broadcast rights if you ask me. The Fan would Kill to get the leafs on the radio
 
Watters has completely lost it recently.

In the past, he was just another dumb hockey analyst ... recently he's been chartering insanity territory.

He just called Dudley "Top 5 GM in the league right now" yesterday. His co-host tried to mellow it down and said "Well ... I may not go as far." and he said "It's true. He's top 5 in my opinion. In fact, I'd say he's one of the best in the league."

Not that I agree with the quote... but I thought being top 5 is one of the best in the league :p
 
"The Leafs have very little cap space." - Bill Watters

Mmmmk.

"Who's more valuable!? A top goalie or a top defenseman?? I would say a top goalie, and look at what Halak got!"

hahahaha.
 
Watters has been on the verge of losing it for years. He's also developed Cox-esque hatred of the leafs. I doubt the Leafs will dump am640 anytime soon. Hell they've been with corus for a very long time now.

The only way they leave is if Rogers (590) puts in a bid that surpasses what corus(640) offers, but I can't see that happening.

They're really getting bad. Watters imo has gotten far worse in his hate for the Leafs in the past couple of months. I guess they ticked him off more.

I was really upset the day Phaneuf was made captain. The crap he got from that station was so unfair. And Watters lied by saying every GM said no to Phaneuf except Burke. He tried to portray it as poor Burkie was duped by Sutter into taking such an outrageous contract.
 
I've been a MASSIVE Patrik Berglund fan for years.....ever since my buddy in Sweden turned me onto him.......he's called him a Sundin-lite ever since he first saw him play, and I tend to agree completely.



If we're able to acquire Berglund in a deal for Kabs I'd be ALL over it.

Then he had Phaneuf on his show and kissed his ass.
