Leaf Rumours

We can;t afford to give up the assets needed to land a guy like him. I think our best route will be UFA at this point and hoping Nonis will use the deep pockets he has at his disposal
 
It's still up in the air what type of player Duchene will be.

He was a 55 point player in his rookie year, a 70 point player in his 2nd year, then he tanked in his 3rd year (40 point player), and now he's off to a fast start.

I think he's the type of guy who is actually more valuable in a trade than he is on the ice.

Not as much a rumour as speculation.

The Pittsburgh Penguins, sitting first in the Atlantic Division, could be looking to acquire another winger to play alongside Evgeni Malkin.

It's believed the Penguins are once again taking a look at Toronto Maple Leafs forward Nikolai Kulemin.

Malkin, who currently leads the Penguins in assists with 10, played alongside Kulemin during the lockout in the KHL.

Why would we ever trade Kulemin.

Or more so, what would Pittsburgh ever give us to make it worth while.
 
Shit-Malkin-Shit
Shit-Crosby-Shit

is a pretty damn good top 2 lines.

Yep.

Laughed a little whn it was mentioned that Pittsburgh has a knack for staying elite by picking up cheap kids off waivers.

Uh, they stay elite thanks to 2 generational draft picks.
