Leaf Rumours

Moore is the last player I want to see here.

If you think Armstrong is overpaid, what'll you say when Moore gets $2M?

We're more than okay in our bottom 6 for the time being, with Sjostrom, Armstrong, Mitchell, Hanson, Orr and Brown, with Irwin trying to break in as well. We're not gonna waste money on a self-important douche like Moore now.

It's top 6 time in Leaf land. They're focusing now on adding scoring (like by adding Poni), they're pretty much set on the bottom lines.
 
To put some closure on the Kovy to the Leafs idea - this is from today's Toronto star paper:

“We are not involved with Ilya Kovalchuk at this time. We have never been involved. I don’t even know who his agent is,” said Burke.
 
LeafofFaith is probably a believer in that statement. Hard to believe he doesn't know who the guys agent is.
 
Honestly, anything for Moore is a complete waste right now.

I'm not exactly a Mitchell fan, but I would much rather gamble on his upside at the 3rd line center than bring Moore in, and use the saved money to buy some scoring power.
 
Poni + Moore don't have any real correlation, in regards to who we should sign..


If we fail to land a top line player via the trade route, Poni's a nice fall back option......otherwise, it's likely a bad allocation of cap space (particularly after already adding Verbeauty + Armstrong)


Moore would simply be a good fit for the third line center spot, if (a) he comes cheap, and (b) Burke and Wilson aren't confident in either Grabo or Hanson in the third line center role.
 
Burke and Moore dont really have a good relationship Id think since he demanded a large salary increase last offseason.

Burke offered Moore the biggest contract of his career........I suspect their relationship is fine



Moore simply f*cked up (thankfully) and declined it.
 
Poni and Moore play different roles on a team. And they will likely come in at different costs.

Poni is a top 6 forward, capable of of putting up 50-60 points. Moore is a bottom 6 forward.

If they Leafs can't get a top 6 forward via trade, Poni would be a good signing. If the Leafs need another bottom 6er, Moore could be a decent signing (at the right price).
 
If we trade Kaberle for a top six forward, we should sign Colaiacovo as our #6 since he'd surely want to come back.. but if we keep Kaberle, I'd be happy signing Poni for our 2nd line.

also teeds, what's up with that crazy iginla rumor? We're still waiting...
 
If the Leafs could get Poni for cheap its worth it.

But if he's going to cosr $2 mill +, they really just can't afford it right now.

He doesn't fill the top line need, and it would just be more money committed to secondary players.

No more of that shit.
 
Cola wouldn't play for Ron "his broken foot is because he's out of shape" Wilson again. I know if I was Carlo I wouldn't.
