Leaf Rumours

And that whole team looked up to Glen, a father like figure. He molded them and taught those kids how to beat men. He built it from nothing and within five years they are winning the cup and becoming the storied franchise in such a short term. (and yes you can post the picture of Wayne up again) but... Glen also did his fair share of collecting all that talent together, even if the talent ended up being so great individually and making him look brilliant in return, quite a fair trade.



Now back to the rumor part of it all,...... Bobby Ryan!!!


Sometimes I really think we should make a hard push for this guy, even if he does not play center or goal. Young stud, Burkes so called second son. I would really love to land him since every team around us seems to be getting a little stronger, some a lot stronger than us.

A few years back, Rumor has it .... (sorry Adele, phrase really isn't yours anyways lol)... that the Ducks are looking for as center themselves for the second line, and before the arrival of Brian Burke to Toronto, the Ducks were looking at possibly acquiring Grabovski when he was a Hab.

I know we'd have to give up more than that, but when you look at his age and his skills, it is drool worthy. You can only hope to land someone of his caliber through a draft, why not try and scoop him while the rumor of him wanting out exists. I'd really hate for Ottawa/Philly or any other eastern team to score him (that includes you too possible Detroit) Anybody on board or are we satisfied with all our wingers for the moment?
 
meh, you can credit sather for some good drafting but he wasn't a visionary. the best player ever fell into his lap as an 18 year old for nothing.

and that team would have won cups, regardless of who was coaching them.
 
Apparently sather was the guy who told Pocklington to get Gretz for whatever it cost. And he still has probably the best draft record ever.
 
I don't know about that.

Sather's awful draft record was a big reason why the Oilers were so bad after 1990 (aside from the unexpected 1992 run).
 
@TMLhockeymedia: Brian Burke has been in talks with the Calgary Flames. Wanting miikka kiprusoff who I believe has no clauses.

Apparently this guy is someone who works at the fan.... I don't know the validity, but this is one I've been saying for a bit...

Actual pay is nothing compared to cap hit, and if Kipper could cover up the crap of Calgary for so long, I think he'd be huge. One year left, great mentor to Reimer... I say this is exactly the type of deal I think they should do to counter Luongo.

This would be a perfect situation for us really. I mean, here's a 35 year old goalie who probably has 3 good years left. Our other 2 goalies can learn from him and the pressure would be much less so i bet they perform much better.
 
Checked the guys twitter account.. definitely bullshit. Anyone can make a twitter account, say they work at the Fan590 and post fake rumors. I'll never understand the fascination with providing fake rumors. I won't lie, I did do it when I first starting posting here like 10+ years ago. I was around 12 years old, and yes it was fun at the time.. but it is mostly grown men doing it these days. Pathetic.

lol. :)

Burke is smart though so i still believe that he's out there getting us a PROVEN goalie..whether it's Kipper or someone else.
 
Kipper wouldn't be a bad idea, but like rated noted, Feaster actually seems to think the Flames can be competitive, and moving Kipprusoff would run counter to pretty much every other move he's made as Calgary's GM.
