Leaf Rumours

Ryan still remains unsigned.

Leafs have a million defensemen.

Ducks need a defenseman.

Leafs need a forward.

Do the math.

Chances are slim, but as long as Ryan remains unsigned, the possibility exists.

I mean, I am actually puzzled by the fact with only 2 weeks left till training camp, 1. Ryan is not only unsigned, but there isn't even any words on contract negotiation, and 2. the Ducks only have 3 NHL defensemen under contract.

Something's gonna happen in anaheim.
 
But at least their teams do have enough defensemen to start the season.

And you do hear Price's contract negotiation is on-going. Granted, you'll hear more hockey news out of Montreal than Anaheim during the off-season, but still, Murray clearly has a need to fill those spots on the blueline.
 
The Habs traded the wrong goalie. They could've kept the better goalie right now and by trading Price they probably would've received more value than they got for Halak because teams will overpay for potential.

Price already has a rocky relationship with the fans/media. It could get really ugly if the Habs and Price start off slowly. Halak is just a lot less headache.

Price > Halak in the long run. I just dont know if Price can handle playing in montreal.
 
Im just amazed that we got something decent for Halak....as goalies seem to have zero value.

We sold high...im fine with that.

We are the habs...we can find a goalie anywhere.
 
There's no right answer in the Price / Halak situation.

Yes, Halak posted great stats in every league, and he was THE factor the Habs got far in the playoff. If it's up to me, I'd have kept Halak too, but then you also gotta worry about the logevity of small goalies in this league. Halak is listed as 5'11, and if he's gonna be your franchaise goalie for the next 10 years, playing 60+ games a season, you gotta at least question his size.

Price was a high draft pick and obviously, the Habs have high expectation for him. He was outplayed by Halak, but he didn't have a 'bad season' really. The problem with Price is he seems to let the local media and fans get to him.

You won't know who's the better goalie for another 3-4 years, but it's a tough decision either way.
 
Halak was better than Price for the last one and a half year, but Price was better than Halak for the one and half year before that.
 
what, just pick up hockey???

and if Burke does try to get Ryan, Kulemin would be part of the package for sure.
 
ColtonOrr Should be some great battles this season in the East with myself, Boogaard, Godard, King, Shelley, Gillies etc. The conference is STACKED! The Sens have a tough guy too but I just can't remember his name ;)
