Leaf Rumours

It has to be a first round pick.

I remember thinking how odd it was Lou gave Zubrus such a long contract. I knew it would come back and bite him. Just like this Kovalchuk contract will.
 
I liked the Zubrus signing at the time - he looked a lot like Antropov back then - big strong 60pt type guy.

Of course, not it's perfectly clear that the only reason he was more than a 40pt guy was because of the Ovechkin effect.

I wouldn't lose a wink of sleep for trading Aulie. He's not going to crack this defense corps in the next 5 years.

We don't know what's going to happen with Kaberle and we likely will get rid of Beauch before his contract is up in two years. A guy like Aulie on the third pairing would be ideal, and there could be room for him as early as next year. Scouts are super impressed with him, so no, I wouldn't want to give him up for an old Langenbrunner.

Honestly, you trade Caputi and Hanson and it works great.

Langenbrunner Bozak Kessel
Versteeg Kadri Kulemin
MacArthur Grabo Armstrong
Orr Mitchell Brown

seems crazy eh?

of course, this is all coming from joslins mouth so it's not 100% truth.. but there's probably more truth in it than most rumors out there so i thought i'd share. plus i didn't really get any impression that he was full of shit but who the hell knows..

btw, i'm not actually friends with joslin.. he's from my home town and i played hockey with some of my buddies a couple nights ago, one of them happens to be buddies with joslin so he was spilling his guts in the dressing room when we came off.

A buddy and I were talking about it and the only way I'm able to reconcile Joslin's stance with reality is if another player was involved and he simply wasn't told about it. I suggested Clowe, because I could see SJS fully expecting Burke to accept an offer of Clowe, Joslin, 1st and it would fit with Burke's own admittance that the offers has gotten significantly better as the process went along.
 
I can't imagine why management would approach Joslin before the trade and tell him the full details of the trade proposal.
 
hahahaha ouch. i'm more than willing to admit i was a stupid douchey kid... but what actually happened some poster accused me of being preston mizzi and after telling him it wasn't true the first time he didn't believe me.. so i jsut went with it. it was pretty fun for a 15-16 year old kid. give me a break.

joslin, on the other hand, is a grown man that's an ahl/nhler.. i just don't see a reason for him having to lie about anything to make himself seem "cooler"
 
I see that Cneely still peddles his Lucic fantasies over on HFBoards though.

There are still some very valuable players not on that list.

Lucic
Colborne
Savard
Wheeler

None of whom could fetch a first line scorer (except maybe Lucic).

Cute.
 
While the Devils would like to get out from underneath veteran winger Brian Rolston’s $5-million cap hit for the next two seasons, the 37-year-old can’t have his contract buried in the minors.

That means New Jersey defenceman Bryce Salvadore, 34, who makes $2.9 million, and winger Dainius Zubrus, 32, scheduled to make $3.2 million per season through 2012-13, are going to be targets.

If they can’t be dealt, they could be sent to the AHL.

A league source said Saturday the only way Lamoriello might be able to deal one — or both players — is if he’s willing to package up high draft picks that will make it palatable for other teams to take the contracts.

Sources say since Lamoriello is not happy with the idea of giving up picks, the Devils have been quietly dangling around 25-year-old centre Travis Zajac, who has a $3.9- million cap hit through 2012-13.
