Leaf Rumours

What this does bring to light is that Burke has confidence with Reimer going forward, or possibly he would be looking to make a play on a top-flight goalie once he clears Gus and Giguere.

Beauch, Gunnar, Gus and ________

-for-

Seabrook ++?

As was mentioned, I like a defensive core moving forward of Schenn, Phaneuf, Aulie, Seabrook and Kaberle. Then hopefully Komi gets shown the door too and one of the young AHL guys steps in too.

And if we are in talks with Colorado, I'd love to see Ryan Wilson get acquired as our #6 D-man. Look him up, the kids a stud. I used to play against him and he and a CWPF of mine are real close buddies.
 
Oh wait, Seabrook's contract is up this year. He's RFA this summer.

Suddenly trading for him became a whole lot more plausible to me.

Getting Beauch back at a similar salary would be a good start, and one more decent young piece could be enough to seal it.
 
RealKyper #NHL news. Confirmed. Langenbrunner's a Dallas #Star. It appears to be a conditional draft pick coming back. Details to follow.
 
I am not sure what Burke's view on Grabs. Is he trying to 'sell high' or does he have Grabs in his future plan?

I love Grabs. I don't think he's over-performing. I think he's the perfect 2nd line center.
 
I highly, highly doubt either of those two is going anywhere.

Though I can see plenty of teams calling Burke about them.
 
looks like Dallas may continue to be buyers this year, and will ride out the Richards sweepstake.

I would need at least

Beauch
Kulemin or Grabovski
Rynnas or Reimer

to even consider moving Seabrook.

Zero interest in Gus ( no better than Crawford)
 
At the end of the day, if Burke is going to move heaven and earth for a player, it'd better be a forward, not a defenseman. Forwards is what we REALLY, REALLY need ...

That's really true.

Seabrook going makes no sense for either side. Which leaves me to beleiver that the guy he wants is Sharp.

And if we're talking Sharp, Kaberle better be coming the other way.

I really don't like the idea of these 2 teams dealing, and i really, really, dislike the fact that Chicago is struggling big time to get into the playoffs.
 
Chicago lost all of their depth up front. They are a much worse team now. They picked up some nice pieces, in those deals though if they are patient enough to wait it out.

It wouldn't shock me though if they decided to move Seabrook to allocate his big raise up front.

Even though Dion's been kinda shitty this year having Phaneuf (25), Seabrook (25), Schenn (21), Aulie (21) would be pretty nice going forward.

If there is one person I hate more than double dion it is Seabrook....but Seabrook it is on a personal level....so you will probably get him.

yeah, that's way overvaluing Seabrook.

Beauch + one good kid is about all you'd get in return.
 
Chicago lost all their depth+their core guys they kept aren't looking as good as last year. I really don't see them moving Seabrooke though, even if he isd a little overrated.

I'm not entirley against moving Seabrook. I'm against moving him to Toronto for pieces that don't thrill me. If he was put on the market he would be hands down the best dman available.

As for him costing us more money. I have no doubt that if he resigned it would be a Duncan Keith type deal in the 8-10 year range. If so we can get his cap hit to aroun 4.2 or so, which is not much more than his current 3.5
 
1) We would get more, if not then we keep him.

2) We dont even save money with Beacuh, who is at 3.8M next year. Seabrook i think can be had around 4-4.5 on a long term deal.
