Leaf Rumours

[MyNameIsJonas]

But they kinda have to. They can't afford to re-sign him.

Yes we can.

As i said before if we sign him to a keith type deal, its very plausable that we keep his cap hit near the 4M range. We also dont have to pay the 4M in bonuses for winning the cup.

 

[leafman101]

With his offensive number this year he could get a hell of a lot more than that if he wants to. Keith makes $5.5 . I don't think you could get Seabrook for less than $5.

Brad Richards may not make it to UFA:

Dan Rosen by kevin_mcgran
Nieuwendyk said he has permission to pursue an extension with Brad Richards. He's hopeful of getting a deal done.

Brad Richards may not make it to UFA:

Wouldn't surprise me. He'd be another in a long list of top-drawer potential UFA's that the Leafs never get a shot at.

Even if 5 is the case its definatly affordable.

Im not against dangling him....but i sure as shit want better than Beauchimen as the main piece....Beauch and Kadri perhaps.

 

[hockeylover]

Beauch and Kadri perhaps.

 

[MyNameIsJonas]

Allow me to say before i get ripped. I dont advocate the leafs giving up Kadri in any deal, but from a Chicago standpoint its going to take a shit load to pry him from us.

Even if we wait and let someone sign him to an offer sheet, we are looking at multiple firsts there. So offers focussing on Beauchimen are insane really.

I can get there if a Kulemin or Grabo, and one of the 2 R goalies are involved.

 

[hockeylover]

Yeah, I was just about to say that I get that you're trying to win the deal outright being a Chicago fan, but you know pretty well from being here all the time that giving up Kadri in a deal for a d-man just doesn't make any sense for us whatsoever.

Yeah.

Frankly i dont get Seabrook to Toronto to begin with.

Burke ought to be targetting Sharp...who i would basically want the same package for.

The 2 teams don't match up well in terms of need.

Chicago IMO needs a big strong forward that can score, to replace what we gave up. Last i checked thats what Toronto was looking for.

A team i would look at for Seabrook, off the top of my head would be Edmonton.

Maybe Seabrook and Bolland for Penner, Vandermeer and a 1st

 

[worm]

doubt the oilers are trading their first
they are in full blown rebuild mode

 

[MyNameIsJonas]

probably, but they need to get some exstablished D somewhere. And Seabrook should be right up they're alley.

 

[Cojo]

Isn't our main problem right now offense?

Why are we still targeting D-men?

I understand you target anyone for the right price, but it sounds like Seabrook would require some of our young assets and one of our core players. No thanks.

We need some bloody forwards.

 

[axlsalinger]

Sure this has been mentioned somewhere, but I haven't seen it yet. Burke was apparently interviewed somewhere today, and reiterated that they HAVEN'T EVEN DISCUSSED the idea of replacing Wilson yet.

 

[leafman101]

What do you expect him to say? Either you give your coach a vote of confidence or you fire him. There is no in between.

 

[JackBurton]

Uh, enough with the defensemen. The Leafs don't need Seabrook. They desperately need help upfront.

 

[Leafyblue]

Wilson is safe until Burke provides him with some missing pieces. If that doesn't work either, we MUST have a new coach next season.

 

[MyNameIsJonas]

I honestly beleive Burke when he says that they havent discussed firing Wilson.

In an interview when Burke was still GM of the Ducks he was asked the most important part of a champion, and answered Coach.

This leads me to beleive he is willing to try way more player combinations with a coach he bleieves in than most GM's would ever think of.

 

[Habspatrol]

probably, but they need to get some exstablished D somewhere. And Seabrook should be right up they're alley.

Yeah but a lottery pick and Penner should fetch a better dman than Seabrook. He's good, but that's a big package.

Ek is posting that Washington may be interested in taking Giggy when he comes back.... but he is saying it would be part of a big deal that would have Kaberle with him.

What....Laich and Semin??? come on. I could see them taking a flyer on a name goalie for the playoff run, but...

Replace the "and" with an "or."
