Leaf Rumours

Dion Phaneuf - Francois Beauchemin
Luke Schenn - Mike Komisarek
Kim Johnsson - Carl Gunnarsson

Not too shabby at all.

Yeah but Johnsson is back in Sweden....is he really a viable option?

I was not aware of this. When did he head back overseas?
 
actually I don't think anybody knows where he is...he played a few weeks for Chicago and no one heard about him afterward.
 
Does a Kaberle/Grabovski for Gagne/Carle (or Gagne/Coburn) deal make sense?

Gagne - XXXX - Kessel
Kulemin - Bozak - Versteeg
Caputi - Kadri - Armstrong
Sjostrom - Mitchell - Orr

Phaneuf - Beauchemin
Carle/Coburn - Komisarek
Gunnarsson - Schenn

If people hated Larry Murphy in Toronto, Corvo would get run out of town after five games.

Well, different expectation.

Murphy was brought in to be the stud defenseman, and he couldn't handle the icetime, the role and the fans.

Corvo, if we do bring him in, will be the #5 guy (who can drop to #6 by season's end) and 2nd PP QB.

Can't Dion QB the PP?

DD will be a fixture on our PP, but he'll be the shot, someone still has to pass him the puck. Just like McCabe and Kaberle.

Interesting, but I really think the Flyers will try to add a top 4 defenseman without sacrificing 1 of Carle or Coburn ... they need depth on the blueline.

the flyers added meszaros... so that gives them timmonen, pronger, carle, cobourn and meszaros.

i doubt they add another top 4, at least without subtracting somebody. especially when you consider their cap hits (coburn comes in as the cheapest at $3.2).
 
question do we really trade kabbie if ilya becomes a leaf ?

lord can only imagine the beautiful cherry picking passes kabbie could throw to ilya

ilya signs kabbie stays and others gets shuffled

Ilya won't be a leaf

Theres still a chance he could be a leaf. The market is cooling down, nobody wants to cave into his ridicoulous demans. Kovalchuck wants to play in a hockey market with lots of fans, toronto fits that bill. Burke could always give him a take it or leave it contract, but he would have to move both kabs and finger to clear up cap space. Kovalchuck has three options here #1 lower his demands a lot, hope a team makes an offer, and sign with the team # 2 is he keeps being the russian snot that he is and goes to the KHL #3 He sits out the entire season.
 
Lombardi is lurking in the weeds waiting for Ilya's demands to come down. Ilya's demands have to come down some before Lombardi will get back into the game, they have to come down significantly (like, half the term, and some cap hit on top of that) before Burke even sends him a serious offer.

Kovalchuk will not be a Leaf, period, end of story.
