Leaf Rumours

It just doesn't make sense for the Sens to go after him just to spite the Leafs when they are paying Spezza and Fisher $11 mill a year and have no defense.
 
Sens fans are dead set on getting Savard just so the Leafs don't get him. They are not obsessed with us at all :thumbsup(22):
 
I just scanned hockeyleaks and saw this:

- The Leafs and Sharks spoke on the weekend about a possible deal for Kaberle that would include Ryan Clowe, but the Leafs wanted a significant young prospect as well and the Sharks wouldn't budge. Talks are on going between these two teams.


and the Sharks are contemplating bringing back Toskala...hah!
 
Who's trolling?

I'm just pointing out the fact that Ottawa is the far more likely destination.

no, you're just dreaming up a justification to help feel better about the actual rumours we have about Toronto's interest from very legit sources.
 
That's fine, but while "talking sense", make sure you acknowledge that the "unsensible" trade rumours have come directly from legit sources, and not from crazy homer leaf fans.

I have yet to see an actual proposed trade from a reputable source. The only suggestions I've discredited have been ridiculous suggestions like Mitchell, Caputi and a 3rd for Savard... or Grabs and Mitchell and such garbage.

Heck, I made a reasonable suggestion myself IMO.... Kulemin, Gunnarson and a prospect (maybe Caputi or Stalberg) for Savard. I don't think it's a great trade for Boston but at least it's in the realm of possibility.

I haven't mocked anyone for just saying they think that a trade is possible, just some of the ridiculous suggestions.
 
I guess the negotiations with Kulemin have failed, eh? Dude must want $3M

I saw somewhere earlier that talks will resume with Kulemin this week and that it's likely to be in the 2-2.5 range but I can't find it now. I'll look for it.
 
SHit I was just about to say that STALBERG must be the centerpiece of the deal.

Let me say this: Its probably 40%. But Stalberg COULD, MIGHT, POSSIBLY, turn out to be the biggest talent the Leafs have had in a long time.

He is a diamond in the rough, and he is rough around the edges, but I have to say, PLEASE GIVE THEM SCHENN INSTEAD.

If Seguin was painful, watching Stalberg turn into a MOOSE that can't be stopped a la Cam Neely would turn me into a fully certified nutbar.

I will also say this, I would rather trade Kadri than Stalberg. That is how much I think Stalberg MIGHT have in his toolbox. Probably not, less than 50%, but its 40%. And with the right team, and city, and even personal coaching from Neely. Yikes, its killing me just thinking of it.


Let me also say this: If its Kulemin AND Stalberg, one thing that will entertain me, is hearing all about it from LEAF OF FAITH. He will go nuts.
 
Without Savard, this is the situation the Sens are in, with lines approximated

Michalek (4.333) - Spezza (7.0) - Ratface (4.875)
Chris Kelly (2.125) - Fisher (4.2) - Kovalev (5.0)
Ruutu (1.3) - Shannon (.625) - Neil (2.0)
Butler (.9) - Smith (.583)

Kuba (3.7) - Phillips (3.5)
Karlsson (1.3) - Lee (.875)
Cowen (1.295) - Carkner (.7)

Leclaire (3.8)
Elliott (.850)

Total: ~50.2 million with .85 in bonus cushion

Notable RFA's (as in likely to be on the 23 man roster and thus, count against the cap)

Regin
Foligno
Winchester
Campoli

So about 9 million dollars to spend with Regin looking for at least 2, Foligno likely looking for something similar, ditto Campoli.

Have we even heard whether or not Lispy is even interested in adding a 4 million dollar centre to what is already the highest allotted position on the team?
 
THIS. Like for crying out loud, it's not us.

It would've been really fun to see these tweets and rumours come out prior to the Phaneuf deal BTW.

You know I have a ton of respect for you and your hockey sense and knowledge and have never mocked you. LOF Pronger 84 and Hoss come up with some doozies though.
