Leaf Rumours

My fawking god what a freaking hockey player Cam Neely was. Like a Stalberg sized Wendel Clark. Best power forward of all time. Just a big mean nasty package of tremendousness. Yeah I know that is not a word.

That is how every forward SHOULD play. Pure competitive in your face STUFF.

Dion Phaneuf, WHEN he can bring his game BACK up to that level, is worth talking about.

Burke must have Cam Neely posters all over his mansion. And Neely is Irish to boot!!!
 
The trouble with trading for Savard, is that he'd likely retire a Leaf - given that he has a NTC and a VERY limited number of teams that he'd move to.

Unless he's moved for "future considerations", I'd rather see Boston sweat out the rest of his contract. There's no way that the Boston ownership sends a contract down - and they've got some ugly contracts on that team.
 
There's nothing to sweat about a 4 year 16 million dollar deal, that may or may not turn into 5 years @ $20 million.......for a 80+ point center.

If he was I would hand him over to my old coach, who is the best coach on the planet. Unfortunately he is addicted to windsurfing and if the wind blows more than 30kmh he is unavailable to anyone and anything.

He would have this Stalberg guy scoring 40 goals a year and smashing peoples heads through the glass. And Stalberg would enjoy it.

He took a bum(won't divulge the guys name, and its not Gary Leeman) for eight weeks, and the guy scored 55 goals the next year in the NHL. But the guy was cheap and my coach told him to **** off. The guy was out of the league in about three or four years after that.

Jonathan Cheechoo?
 
We're about half an hour from the deadline for QOs. As far as I know Mitchell hasn't been qualified but half of the twitter updates on the situation kinda left the possibility open. We shall see. Doubt it, based on earlier comments by Burke about having a few Bottom 6 spots to fill.

...then why are they not talking about trading (or demoting) Bergeron, Ryder, or Lucic?
 
Its not a novel idea to trade from a position of strength to improve a position of weakness.

The Bruins are strong at center, and weak in cap flexibility and space.

1) They're not us.....we have nothing to sweat about taking on Savards contract.

2) There's no talk of Savard or anyone being demoted.

3) Savard asked to be dealt.....Bergeron, Ryder, Lucic haven't.

4) They're loaded at center.



Savards contract is a steal of a deal on par with the last deal we gave Kaberle......we'll be lucky bastards if we can acquire him.
 
Cap-wise it's a steal, no doubt. The risk is whether he returns to 80+ pt Savard or whether he's 50-60pt Savard, in which case he's no longer a steal.

I was under the impression that the Bruins were up against the cap and the inability to move guys like Thomas meant that they had to move another of their larger contracts... (Bergeron, Savard or Ryder).

No, it sure as hell is not.

If you want to say that you're willing to take it on, that's one thing. But this is NO steal of any kind.

7 years, dude. SEVEN more years. $28 million dollars. For a guy who is 33 years old in a few weeks, coming off a bad season full of worrisome injuries, and a horrendous playoffs where he did absolutely nothing to prevent Boston's historic 3-0 collapse to Philly.

You can talk all you want about how you think he's going to magically rebound this year, as though it's a guarantee. You can keep banking on him retiring after the fourth year, which is not a certainty. And you can pretend that there are no other options out there for us and that we should part with decent assets to get this guy. But your thinking would be wrong on all counts.

If we get him, it has to be for a dirt cheap price, with Boston taking Grabs or Finger to lessen the blow and make the risk worthwhile. If we get him and give up anything of value - i.e., Kulemin, Stalberg, or Gunnar - we may as well make it a yearly offseason tradition to get butt raped in a major deal by Boston.
 
it's not really 7 years.

it's likely 4-5 years, with him either retiring or bought out for very cheap if need be.
