Leaf Rumours

I hope they get Kulemin settled before tomorrow. Sometimes guys like him are offered offer sheets (like Backes, and Kesler) and it could **** things up a bit.
 
In my humble opinion, Ryan is going to be a fair amount better than Perry.

40+ goal potential and more points overall eventually.

But I'll still settle for the Canadian.

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.

They aren't really taking any more salary back.

Niedermayer ($6.75) + Wisniewski ($2.75) = $9.5M
Kaberle ($4.25) + Schenn ($3M) = $7.25M

They are saving $2.25M in cap space.

That's probably exactly what they're using against Burke right now.

I think they'll sign him up tonight and he's gonna have a monster season for us this year.

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.

That's right. Savard is doing Chia a favour for giving him 2 teams to begin with.

And Friedman makes a valid point - when Hossa askes for a trade then uses his NTC to tie up Murray's hands we despise him. Now Savard signs a undervalued deal to stay with the team, and Chia turns around to ask him to waive his NTC and trade him ... is that much better?
 
It's pretty obvious a trade wasn't Savard's idea. If it was, he would have given more than 2 teams to go to. To continue along that line of thought, if this is coming up now, I think Chiarelli plans on making a move pretty soon. Probably so he can do something July 1st or shortly thereafter.

It might not even be Chia's idea. Could be it's Neely that doesn't like Savard.
 
Age 20

C.Perry: 56gms, 13gls, 25pts, 50pim, 11:34 (82gms, 19gls, 37pts, 73pim)
B.Ryan: 23gms, 5gls, 10pts, 6pim, 11:16 (82gms, 18gls, 36pts, 21pim)

Age 21

C.Perry: 82gms, 17gls, 44pts, 55pim, 12:28 (82gms, 17gls, 44pts, 55pim)
B.Ryan: 64gms, 31gls, 57pts, 33pim, 15:26 (82gms, 40gls, 73pts, 42pim)

Age 22

C.Perry: 70gms, 29gls, 54pts, 108pim, 17:57 (82gms, 34gls, 63pts, 127pim)
B.Ryan: 81gms, 35gls, 64pts, 79pim, 18:29 (82gms, 35gls, 65pts, 80pim)


Playoffs 20

C.Perry: 11gms, 0gls, 3pts, 9:38 (82gms, 0gls, 22pts)
B.Ryan: 2gms, 0gls, 0pts, 11:09 (82gms, 0gls, 0pts)

Playoffs 21

C.Perry: 21gms, 6gls, 15pts, 16:30 (82gms, 23gls, 59pts)
B.Ryan: 13gms, 5gls, 7pts, 19:41 (82gms, 32gls, 44pts)


Playoffs 22

C.Perry: 3gms, 2gs, 3pts, 14:55 (82gms, 55gls, 82pts)
B.Ryan: -----


And Perry has basically become a 30-35gl, 75ish point player the last couple of years.

I think Ryan has more pure skill, and might have a better chance of approaching the 40gl/90pt marks, but Perry is very skilled himself, and comes with the added bonus of having unquestionable grit, edge, drive, and playoff clutchiness.

To be honest, I think I prefer Perry.
 
Hey, didn't Burke say that he didn't think all that much of Brayden Schenn? Does that mean he is like me, and not all that impressed with Luke?

Does that mean he is playing opposum with opposing GM's and willing to deal Schenn at a high trade cost, but not mentioning him. Using him ONLY when another GM really wants him?

Good tactic, hope it is the case.

What are you laughing at? You got owned. :rolleyes(2):


My favorite part of the critique was that he didn't question how you managed to get Savard and Ryan while only parting with Kabs and Schenn as far as decent players go. :facepalm
 
“I came in there (last year) trying to change the world in a day and you can’t do that. If everyone does their job well, we’re going to be in the playoffs. It’s not just one guy who is going to turn it around. The team needs my impact to be a calm, steady defenceman and that’s what I’m going back to this year."

“We can’t change the fact the team hasn’t made the playoffs in five years. What we do know is it’s a long, miserable summer when you don’t get in the playoffs. You dwell on it all summer. The season we had as a team and as an individual wasn’t reflective of what we are capable of.”

“This organization gives us every single tool to succeed and it’s up to us to go out and do the job. I don’t care about the last five years — the most important thing is what are we going to do about it. It’s one thing to talk about it and say you want to improve, but it’s up to us to make sure it happens on the ice.”

- Mike Komisarek

Maybe one of Schenn, Komi or Beach is going. Keep in mind Van Injury won't be available at all so maybe they are banking on bringing in someone capable of good special teams play since they are assuming they are shipping out some assets.
