Leaf Rumours

dreger was just on tsn saying how Burke would be willing to move Schenn Kadri and even Kessel if the right player was coming back.... maybe that ishow big the Chicago deal was going.
 
Maybe I missed this since I haven't been online all day really but:

Bob McKenzie Langenbrunner has been asked to waive his NTC but not formally and not yet to a specific team. That should occur in not too distant future.

Teams said to be most interested and locales he's likely to waive for include Dallas, St. Louis and San Jose. Stay tuned.

Langenbrunner will not play in tonight's game against the Philadelphia Flyers.

"I've been in discussions with the team (about waiving the no-trade clause)," Langenbrunner said via telephone. "The fact that I'm not there tonight probably means a trade will be happening sooner rather than later.

"I'm in limbo waiting."

interesting that Toronto hasn't been put on that list just for hits purposes.

One rumour also was that San Jose was in on Versteeg because he is good friends with Setoguchi.. so either they want Versteeg, OR we bring in Seto to play with Versteeg.
 
it almost certainly would involve mostly minor league pieces... from both ends. because for the leafs to offering up names like kessel, schenn or kadri they would necessarily have to be getting back one of another's teams top players or top young players. any hawks youngser worth trading for ison the roster... and the reigning cup champs aren't trading one of their core pieces.

so you're looking at guys like skille and beach, and probably some sort of swap on the back end like beauchemin for hjalmarsson.
 
Ledger_NJDevils Flyers have offered the Devils two draft picks for Jamie Langenbrunner. Lou Lamoriello hasn't gotten back to GM Paul Holmgren.
 
If I'm Burke, I call up Montreal to see if they want Beauchemin... ( I'd say it in a hguhh hguhh french accent too)
 
Take this with a HUGE grain of salt, but my guy down in MLSE said the three names they heard were Beauchemin, Gustavsson, and SEABROOK. Once again, don't shoot the messenger.
 
Jack Skille? Why would Burke be interested in a busted 1st rounder from five years ago?

Also, Langenbrunner would be the perfect veteran forward to add to this young team. But Langenbrunner probably won't want to waive his NTC to go to another basement-dwelling team, and trading more draft picks or young players for and old, impending UFA would be a tough pill to swallow.

As for getting Seabiscuit, that'd be cool, but I'd be shocked if Chicago was interested in doing that.
 
Even though Dion's been kinda shitty this year having Phaneuf (25), Seabrook (25), Schenn (21), Aulie (21) would be pretty nice going forward.
 
adater: Avs had scout at Toronto game tonight. I'm hearing they're interested in Versteeg. But I kinda doubt deal
