Leaf Rumours

there was nobody who should have been interest in him for 6 million without unloading a longer term, shit contract on us.

running with him to start the season (especially after his strong finish last season) was the right decision.

Do you think B Schenn is on Burke's list. I mean he references the now all the time, would you consider B Schenn just as much of a prospect albeit a good one, or would Burke prefer a player now.

I mean Schenn in LA is low on their depth charts. LA aren't in cap trouble that they have to lose guys next year for money (or are they) so I think you could get Schenn if the package was right for LA to make the playoffs NOW and give them an asset that they can hang on to to compensate Schenn.. ie Versteeg and Giggy for a bit of a dump and B schenn. Handzus could be a good third line centre on this team and would be a good salary for LA to dump. Maybe even Versteeg Bozak and Giggy for Handzus and B Schenn. Get those brothers together dammit.

I was wondering that myself. Handzus makes 4 million, but he's UFA after this year, so they don't really need to dump him...
 
Did you hear the context? Are you sure it wasn't whether Lupul will pass his physical, or play tomorrow, or whether Mitchy clears waivers, or something like that?
 
If the leafs are trading Giggy to Detroit, I'd think we'd have to take on a salary dump in return. Someone like Todd Bertuzzi.

Giggy is UFA. His cost will be 1.6 million. The Wings are happy with Bertuzzi.

that's really besides the point.

i'm sure that they would sacrifice bertuzzi if it meant an upgrade in net (whether giguere is good enough to justify that for them is another matter).

but bertuzzi just doesn't make enough.

there's really no way for detroit to make a giguere trade happen.
 
Detroti really isnt in that much trouble in net to go through the bother.

I suspect Holland, Gillis and Holmgren willb equiet this deadline....depth D or 13TH forward like stuff
 
i disagree. they look like they're in big trouble in net, with osgoode out (and not even playing well), and howard floundering.

they can't head into the post season with howard-macdonald in net. hell, i don't even know if they can head into the post season with howard-osgoode.

but giguere makes too much.

it wouldn't surprise me in the least if they kicked the tires on one of tampa's extra guys, or plucked leighton off recallables late in the year.
 
If its that big a deal then go after a bigger fish....i dotn think Giggy solves anything. To me he is more of a mentor/lokcer room add....which Detroit does'nt need.

They should maybe call Colorado about Anderson or Columbus about Mason
 
if giggy were earning $2mn instead of $6mn the wings would be knocking down the leafs door to get him.

they've always loved those sorts of guys -- proven winners/talents on hard times/downsides. they've gone after -- and had enormous success -- with a bunch of those sorts.

from murphy, to fetisov, to bertuzzi, to chelios, to duchesne... even to osgoode...
 
Hiller just went down on the IR... I wonder for how long. Giggy back to the Ducks??? That would be like turning the clock back 2 years.. no beauch no Giggy.
