Leaf Rumours

As for sending Giguere down on a conditioning stint, I'm pretty sure that a player has to be coming off IR for a team to be allowed to do that, and I don't think Giguere's been on IR while he's been out. And it's funny...if anyone needs a conditioning stint in the AHL, it's Gus, frankly.

The Kings did it to Brayden Schenn earlier in the year to put off having to make a decision on him after 9 games. He wasn't coming off the IR.

My brother's convinced that Giguere has to play and show he can stay healthy so we can get something for him at the deadline. I don't have faith in Giguere to stay healthy and I don't think we'll get much for him - I'd rather see these kids have a better chance to win every night.
 
If Burke had Black hair the Barney and Fred comparison would be completely OFF the DIAL.

This is a super classy thing for Giggy to say, to publicly give Burke his approval to approach him with a deal.

Kudos.

what's even better is that that there is Jiggy telling Burke "whoa, this kid Reimer is pretty good, and better than me."
 
agreed .... it makes the most sense to play giggy for a couple of games and pray he is lights out ... thus raising his trade value for something more than a third. (or maybe to a third)
 
Giggy has been in the league long enough and played enough this season to show teams what they are getting. A few games are not going to increase his value to the point where the return would be a drastic change from now.

If you want to win you roll with the hot hand, no ifs ands or buts
 
I am not arguing the fact that you have to play him to prove he is healthy just the fact that any games from now until the trade deadline will raise his value anymore then what it is.
 
why are we supposed to be worried about being able to trade Giggy for whatever minuscule return a 34 year old goalie who has been injured all year, and has sucked for 3 seasons, and has a big cap hit, would bring back if any team is dumb enough to take him in the first place?
 
Just heard from my MLSE guy. They are definitely sending down Reimer. Apparently four teams are looking to grab Gustavson if he gets sent down, and Burke is convinced he will get something for Giguere.

We should not be. Burke manage to move Toskala AND rat fetus in the same trade.
 
by playing him, it shows the other teams that he is still able to compete and maybe .... just maybe carry a team with questionable goaltending issues like detroit or atlanta with injuries and unproven rookies ....
