Leaf Rumours

Joe Thornton for Grabovski, Versteeg and Kaberle?

 

[JaysCyYoung]

I'd guess Gustavsson, Gunarsson, Bozak for Bailey

That's actually not a poor trade proposal, although I think that it's more likely that Snow would be given a choice between one of the two G-Men and Bozak for Bailey under that scenario. Possibly mid-range draft picks involved on either end as well.

San Jose is not going to trade their captain.

I nearly spit out my coffee when I read incarceratedbobs say something like "it would probably be something like bailey+ a 2nd for schenn"

 

[trujaysfan]

Schenn is going nowhere

San Jose is not going to trade their captain.

But what a shakeup that would be for San Jose eh? What kind of a team would that leave San Jose?

Schenn is going nowhere

Trade half our team for his brother and build around the two of them. If he has half Luke's spunk and balls, this is something Burke must be plotting and scheming on.

thats insane....its also insane for them to move bailey all together.

Gus for Comeau makes some sense in my brain

It would be an Earth-shaking move like the one that spurred the Sharks into a dominant regular-season finish when they initially acquired Big Joe (en route to league MVP honours for him that season and the scoring title), but it wouldn't be to their benefit.

They're looking at adding secondary pieces and additional depth, but not at the expense of their best player and team leader.

 

[MyNameIsJonas]

That kind of San Jose deal only happens if they are a disaster in the playoffs or fail to make it. Right now they are ona roll and will likelsupplant Dallas for the Pacific Division.

If the rangers won't give up a first in this draft it's because it would be on top of whatever else Burke is asking for.

Logic would suggest that yeah.

I wonder if Buffalo will get in on Kaberle. They have crawled back into playoff contention

 

[JaysCyYoung]

Not a big fan of what pieces Buffalo would be willing to offer for Kaberle outside of Ennis and Stafford.

You know, San Jose is NOT the fastest team in the NHL, in fact, they very well could be the SLOWEST. But in terms of stick(passing,pass receiving etc...) they are OFF the dial. I was really impressed with them when I saw them.

Their speed will probably be their undoing. But if they acquired Kaberle AND Grabovski?????? They could be vewy,vewy, vewy nasty to play against.

Maybe so....but you don't give up Thornton mid-season to find that out.

Pavelski for Versteeg is something they can do to get better on the wing.

Kassian and a 1st a no go?

 

[JaysCyYoung]

I'd drive Kaberle to the airport, but I still like the idea of landing Kreider and Callahan from the Rangers (even if that is a tad unrealistic from their perspective).

I would be kissing and hugging him as he got on the plane. LOL. I love Kassian.

I'm pretty sure they wouldn't even offer Callahan unless if they inked Kaberle to an extension.

He's got that psychotic Armenian rage in him. Burkie loves this kid.
