Leaf Rumours

[Metalleaf]

Kopitar would be sick

 

[axlsalinger]

LA, out of the goodness of our hearts, we will still allow you to trade us Simmonds and Jack Johnson for Kaberle.

 

[HolyPuck]

Kaberle and Schenn for Kopitar

 

[da_next_kid]

Not getting Kopitar for sure, 100% guaranteed.

 

[HolyPuck]

heh fine ill take Doughty

 

[ForeverTML]

No one's suggesting giving Boston more than what they want for Savard.........but we need his offense just as much (if not more) than they need to get rid of him.


Burke's got to get the best deal he can......but he needs to add frontline talent, period.



You make it sound like, unless we can rip Boston off.........we shouldn't acquire him.


F*ck that noise......we need him.

The "best deal" is one where you come out on top especially dealing with a team that has a clear disadvantage with an NTC.

I never said we need to 'rip them off'. The deal has to reflect the circumstances.


There's still a lot of time left till next season, and I hope Burke doesnt panic in acquiring any top talent.

 

[Killer93]

Still waiting for Iginla to Toronto

 

[JaysCyYoung]

Yeah teeds, I'm holding you to that rumour. No excuses.

 

[Montana]

teeds left himself an out..........it was contingent on Kovalchuk signing the papers (he'd only confirmed to join the Flames verbally).


That stinking Russian probably went turn coat.......and thus, didn't enable us to acquire Iginla.

 

[Killer93]

I say we ban him if we don't get him

 

[axlsalinger]

eduhatschek Best news of the day for Leaf fans: With all puck-moving defencemen signed already, offers to TKaberle should become vastly improved

 

[leafman101]

Still no word from Burkie yet? He's gotta be working on something.

 

[zeke]

yeah, good point - no public comments on Armstrong and Versteeg yet means he's real busy right now.

 

[Montana]

Armstrong mentioned that he barely spoke to Burke, because he had to go right away....said he was real busy.





Boston's been quiet today.......looking like they won't be able to move Thomas. Savard should be a leaf soon.



Caputi + Gunnarson for Savard.........then resign Kaberle.

 

[leafman101]

Savard is just too perfect of a fit at this point.

 

[PlayerToBeNamedLater]

LA and SJ have also been very quiet.

 

[mbow30]

the flames brought jokinen back?

sutter is mad.

what the hell did he make that trade for? 20 games of higgins and a buyout hit off of kotalik?

what a moron.

 

[zeke]

Savard is just too perfect of a fit at this point.

not a bad fit, but I think it's far from perfect.

I want a topline winger. I'd have no problem taking my chances with Bozak/Kadri up the middle. They have the talent to play there. We don't have that talent on the wings.

 

[leafman101]

I meant more in terms of his contract, but yeah a winger would be ideal.

 

[Montana]

There's not many PPG, 4 million per, wingers that we can land, to my knowledge.
