Leaf Rumours

I see Perry as slightly more valuable than Ryan. I still won't trade Kaberle and Schenn for Perry straight up ... but the gap is narrower. An additional pick might get it done.
 
Kulemin - Savard - Kessel
Stalberg - Kadri - Ryan
Caputi - Bozak - Sjostrom
Brown - Hanson - Orr

Beauchemin - Phaneuf
Martin/Hamhuis/Foster/Cola - Komisarek
Gunnarson - Aulie/Holzer/Mikus

Gustavsson
Giguere

Gustavsson
Giguere

Few things wrong with this lineup. #1 Kadri wont be given the 2ND centre role right out of the gates #2Bozak won't be the # 3 centre, he's top 6 or go home type of player. # 3 Your leaving out Grabo#4 Aullie/Holzner/Mikus will be in the AHL, Burkes already said he plans for them to be the top 4 on the marlies. #5 Caputi is not a 3rd liner, he belongs on the 2nd line or AHL. #6 Giguere is not being paid $6M to sit on the bench, hes the starter, the monster is the backup.

Did you not just ramble about how Bozak's greatest strength was his smarts?...That would make him 3rd line C capable

He has Kadri as the second line center not the first. Also he does have orr on the 4th not the 3rd.
 
It seems like he completely missed the first line when talking about lines 2 and 4, but saw it while looking at line 3.

Strange.

When you're dealing with young, 1st line players under good contracts on teams that have no pressure to trade them -- you have to overpay if you want them.

I'd have no problem overpaying for guys like Ryan and Perry.
 
I don't think the Ducks would take that deal because it's too much salary going their way.

But yeah, Perry > Ryan, although obviously you'd love to have either.

The Ducks would only be taking on about 2-2.5 mill more in salary (with Schenn's bonuses).

The Leafs could always take a salary back to make it even if that's a concern for the Ducks.
 
Friedman makes a good point on the Savard thing, but if Marc handcuffs the Bruins and names 3 other teams that can't acquire him then Chiarelli likely has to bite the bullet and deal him to the Leafs.

What exactly did you just read? Friedman said it's not true that he has to give Chia a list of 5 teams. He has a FULL no-trade til 2011 and has only waived it for Tor & Ott.
