Leaf Rumours

depends, if we're gonna let Bozak/Kadri handle the C spot all year, then sure, but it comes down to who we are trading?
 
I love how Jonas actually runs around thinking that he's some sort of authority that we should listen to.

it's funny stuff.

Huh?

Grabo played wing the majority of his AHL and Hab career.

He can play both positions.

He doesn't play wing overly well.

Philly is going to move Gagne for 1 of 2 things.

a) an established goalie
b) cap relief to sign an established goalie.

The Grabo trade provides neither. Just adds another unneeded forward and saves 2.6M..Philly could do much better.

Two ideas were proposed that would solve both a and b.

A trade for established goalie (Giguere) -- which you completely dismissed.

A trade for a cheaper forward that saves them cash to help them get a goalie -- which you completely dismissed.

I'm beginning to think that you're talking out of your ass.
 
I dismiss Giguere because Burke doesnt want to move him and he has a well documented NMC which he was very leary of waiving in the first place.

Grabo doesnt save them enough money. Niether deal makes sense
 
heh.

you think Giguere would refuse to waive his NTC to go to the Cup Finalist Flyers?

not a chance.

I don't understand how you are so sure about this. All i can do is use the information that's been out there for a while. That Giguere's son has a medical concern and LA and Toronto were the only 2 places where he could get the best treatment available.

Giguere has already won his cup and clearly puts his family before his career at this point as he aledgedly rejected several deals last year prior to coming to Toronto.
 
The flyers have cap problems. I don't think they're exactly looking to trade Gagne and take on MORE salary.

And I'm not sure a goalie who's struggled most of the past 2 seasons is going to get it done neither ... then again, when it comes to the Flyers and goalies, you never know.
 
ignoring price for the moment, what goalie out there is a better bet for them than Giguere?
