Leaf Rumours

Burke seems to be going after younger players. Iginla is great but we're not a team to be making that deal. The rumour of LA makes more sense...they've got their young core and want to take the next step. We're not there yet.

If it's Kaberle, I could see us getting a veteran back. But not with Kadri and Schenn.
 
I"ll be gutted if Naz and Luke are dealt. I may just not watch at all. What gain can you get that's worth losing two promising players? One who has been a workhorse at the NHL level since he was 18? Seriously.

Forget my call when the US dolllar was 1.58 Canadian about how MLSE was going to be a monstrous CASH PIG when the bucks are at par in two years(was exact) and forget all my other predictions.

How about my call about Rynnas being the best goalie we had BEFORE the season started.

You see, losers and turkeys never give winners credit. Doesn't matter, I still love y'all.

What does that have to do with having Leafs insider info?
 
I'll play along...the only name that teeds describes where giving up 2 or even 3 of Schenn, Kaberle and Kadri even begins to make any sense....is Ryan Getzlaf...who i sturggle with even being available.

However, if Burke is dangling those names...Murray has to at least listen
 
Getzlaf is the only guy that makes sense, but ANA would trade Perry first.

There is no way both Kadri AND Schenn get traded.

I can live with Kadri getting dealt [depending on the deal] but trading Schenn I would have a hard time swallowing.

And Kabs is turning into a pretty overrated Dman. Maybe thats why he wasnt dealt during the summer. Gms just werent that interested. And with how hes played at the end of last season and so far this season, I cant blame them for not giving up anything close to what Burke and Co may have been asking for.
 
The problem with trading Beauchemin is that you won't be able to get a 1st liner for him -- you'd just probably get yet another 2nd/3rd liner. And I rather have a big minute dman, with a very reasonable contract in Beauchemin over another 2nd/3rd line forward.

Leafs need to think bigger than 2nd/3rd line forward if they really want to improve.
 
I can't agree with that at all. Just because the Leafs need a first liner more than another second-line player doesn't mean that adding more scoring will hurt the team, particularly when the problem is offence. Often teams can win with a deep roster of offensive players. The post-lockout Leafs were one of the top offensive teams in the league every season largely utilizing the format of one offensive star and a deep line-up.
 
It would be Kadri OR Schenn. Not both. And I do NOT want to trade either. Schenn is turning into something, something I have never seen before on Toronto. Its unique, and its very good. Its not Orr, Its not Salming, its not Robinson, its not Foote, but its very Schenn.

You should hire me, I don't know if you can afford me, but you should try.
 
They'd better not deal Schenn. Especially right after I took the time to make this bad photoshop:

Well then since you know the name they're talking about and have emphasized the word "overpay", obviously Mr. X isn't worth either Schenn or Kadri in your mind. So I'm not sure how "BIG" this could really be.

He's clearly the best defenceman we've drafted since Kaberle, that much is for sure. I don't know about Salming or Robinson, but Schenn has the chance to be a special player.

It's hard to believe he's this good and only turned 21 a couple weeks ago.

Looks like he's well on the way to becoming a top pair defenceman.
