Leaf Rumours

I think we can scratch Kovalchuk from any fantasy lineups after this one. Mike Comrie clone instead.
 
Jeebus...this place goes from happy to extremely pissed to incredibly sad in the matter of about an hour.

Mike Comrie? come on now.
 
Guess it goes to show how much of a waste of time rumours are when it comes to Burke.

Whenever this guy makes a move, it's totally out of left field and absolutely nobody sees it coming.
 
Rumours are always BS. For weeks it was "expect big things from Burke" and nothing happens. Then a couple days ago it was "expect nothing till after july 1."

These guys don't actually know anything.
 
Hockeyleaks rumours:

- The Leafs picked up another winger today in Versteeg but their priority is still very much a #1 center. With Pleks and Marleau off the market, that player is likely to come via trade. Marc Savard and Patrice Bergeron are still options from the Bruins. The Leafs have apparently talked to the Kings regarding one of their centres as well.

- On the UFA market, the Leafs plan on making significant offers to Paul Martin and Colby Armstrong. They will kick tires at Kovalchuk but are not expected to sign him. Matthew Lombardi could also be of interest if the price is right.

So there is a chance.

Word is that Phaneuf wants Brian Burke to acquire some big guys up front and the Leafs are said to be the frontrunners in the Lebron sweepstakes (E4)

See, Habsy, I can totally be your rumour girl around here. :sarcasm

Final tweets for night: Sounds like Ladd on move out of CHI. If he goes to arb, too expensive for CHI. One NHL GM predicts ATL gets him.
 
if hockeyleaks is at all credible what does Burke offer Armstrong and Martin?

I'd say 3 years $3M per for Armstrong and 2 years $3.5M per for Martin.

I can't realistically see him offering much more than that, unless he really covets both players, though he liked Martin on Team USA.
 
Armstrong would have to be a third liner with the potential to move up to the second line if Kadri needs some toughness.

He is a hard ass player to play against. The fact that Martin is being mentioned alot tells me that Burke already has a deal in place for Kaberle and has Martin lined up to take those minutes.

Hamhuis is a smokescreen.

I just can't wait to see what Burke can turn Kaberle into.
 
Heres my predictions on the leafs tommorow:

They'll take a shot at Kovalchuck but he'll chose LA over Toronto
Torres signed to a 3 year, $8.75M deal.
Armstrong signed to a 2 year, $5.5M deal
Trades Kaberle to Anahiem for Lupul and a 1st
Signs Paul Martin to a 5 year, $20M deal
