Leaf Rumours

You wouldn't do a Rielly (or Gardiner) + Grabovski + 1st Rnd pick type of deal for Getzlaf?

I would in a second, as much as I love those 2 two men. Getzlaf + Kessel for the next decade is too tempting.
 
I read it as Reilly and Gardiner. Still not awake.

That I would consider. Funny thing the fabricated deal floating around is Grabovski, Kadri, Frattin and the 13 1st.
 
The thing is, Ryan is signed long term, he's no threat to leave. Getzlaf and Perry are FA's and if they don't intend on re-signing, the Ducks hands will be forced.

Fully support this btw.
 
i'd float phaneuf to the flyers. holmgren has a penchant for big deals and must be beyond desperate at this point.
 
Dangling Phaneuf for a shot at a legit 1st line centre, definitely makes a boatload of sense.......but I'm not sure that deal would be at the top of my list.

i wouldn't overestimate the return you would get for phaneuf.

there is no point in doing what the entire hockey world did with nash.

if the leafs could get a 19 year old with good size, good skating, good poise who was a recent top ten pick and is coming off of a pretty nice season for an 18 year old as a centrepiece for phaneuf, i don't thikn you could complain.

i'd rather that than a couple of marginal second liners and a dman with #4 potential, like CBJ just got for nash.

of course it should be.

we have spent how many years talking about how the entire hockey universe overestimates the returns for these types of players?

and then what did we do here? we all gave a big 'i told you so'.

don't fall into the same trap just because it's our player.

if the leafs were to trade phaneuf they wouldn't get back what you perceive to be fair value. you never do.

but i'd be ****ign stoked if they could get a guy like couturier.

Your take is ostensibly that you believe you conceived of the maximum return the Leafs could possibly get for Phaneuf, and the best player.....others disagree.

then what should be?

what philadelphia got for richards? this is basically the same trade.

what CBJ got for carter? this is quite a bit better.

what tampa bay got for richards?

what san jose got for thornton?

what pittsburgh got for staal?

what calgary for phaneuf?

i think most of us predicted pretty accurately waht the return for nash would be. we all scoffed at the rumours. we all patted ourselves on the back after it happened.

of course tehse trades are all barometers for the return every time an upper echelon player is traded. always.

it's why we all thought that nash would be traded for less than was rumoured, and for basically what he was ultimately traded for.
