Leaf Rumours

No of course, but your telling me that if Burke offered Lou his next 2 firsts plus something else, the media and the people that call in to the radio shows wouldn't have a complete freak out.... even if its Parise. The average hockey fan probably has no idea who it is.

The only thing that scares me with Parise is the injury he had.. how serious is it??

Second, Eklund stated that with Lemaire coming back to NJ, that there will be a bit of a cleaning house with some players.... as when he left, he fealt that it was because of some players. ie Langs. Let's hope Lou drops Langs for anything we got.
 
We need Cam Neely on this team or his clone. Too much smurf, too much money sloshing around in bars. We need someone who, when he is in a bad mood will break someones orbital bone,just as easily as he would skate over your face.
 
Still no interest in Clowe? He is playing some pretty good hockey lately and fits the bill of what we are in dire need of
 
Apparently Langenbrunner had the hardest time with Lemaire.... they really didn't get along, and this move has alot of Devils fans saying that Langennbrunner is a goner for sure.

Some ideas floating around would be the leafs to really help out mr Lam and vice versa by having the leafs take Langenbrunner and Rolston (yup) plus a second rd pick for our dump of Beauch or Komi.

Would you do it?? I think I might for Komi. But that Rolston is ugly.
 
I'd do it if it were Komi. Rolston would help the team more the next two years and then his shit contract is over. I'd probably do that straight up. Komi is still on the books for another 2 years after next year.
 
Parise should remain a Devil. The cap situation in NJ is only an issue this year, next year they improve this position dramatically (i.e. no Arnott, etc)

Agreed that Gunnarsson is expendable, and does have some value. I'd think if we are going to get any kind of an impact forward that it probably will be Beachemin though.

You just know Burke will trade Gunnar. He's not one of his acquisitions. He'll try to trade him hard before letting go of Beauchemin.

Unfortunately.
 
Why is it unfortunate?

Gunnarsson is ok... he's nothing special, but he's young and he's cheap so teams will be interested.

He also cannot and will never be able to hold Beauchemin's jockstrap. And with a bunch of young defensemen in the system (including Aulie, who is already a more effective defenseman than Gunnarsson, albeit more mistake prone), he is 100 percent expendable.
 
Taken from Ek's site

"The heat is on in Calgary and NJ. Perhaps naming teams who play on ice after fire and brimstone wasn't such a great idea after all...

I believe it will be Calgary...sources tell me the Flames are already "in transition."

According to several sources we can expect a "Major Shake-up" in Calgary after Christmas and before the new year. You can store this in the "I will see it when I believe it" file, but all I can say is it would be hard to imagine with all this buzz something won't give..

Meanwhile in NJ rumors have calmed down a bit after a deal with Toronto didn't happen last week..a deal that one source called "a potential steal for the Leafs."

All of this has to have Devils fans completely and utterly confused."

Our first priority on the blueline really needs to be finding a home for Komisarek.

I think Gunnar is potentially an excellent player, with a much higher ceiling than Trashecan. With some more experience and growing confidence, he has all the tools to surpass Beauchy by quite a distance.

But I do agree that one or both should be traded to bring in some much needed firepower up front. Preferably - by a country mile - Beauchmin first.

Clowe's a solid player, but since San Jose reportedly thought that Clowe straight up for Kaberle was a fair deal, I don't think there's a trade to be worked out for him with San Jose.
