Leaf Rumours

[MyNameIsJonas]

Ovechkin, Green for Gardiner, Liles, Grabovski, Kulemin, 1st Rnd Pick 2013.

Washington "might" consider this for just Ovie...

You'd probably also have to throw in Rielly.

I'm not sure how happy Wash is with their 6 mill dollar dman at this point.

 

[MyNameIsJonas]

With Backstrom, Ribiero and Johannson in the fold, they honestly have no use for Grabo or any centers.....

I honestly dont even know what the holes are in Washington.

and 5+ Grabo that they have no slot for makes them happier?

 

[Hoss]

OV would never allow a trade to Winnipeg.

Well if he wants hockey crazed and a climate close to that of his motherland... then Winnipeg would be AWESOME for him... (just kidding of course)

Ribiero is a UFA, he's a goner next year.

I think it would cost an arm and a leg to get Ovechkin. Between the players / prospects and the cap-hit it’d be a helluva gamble. There’s a good possibility, better than 50/50, that he is never the same Ovy IMO. I mean, he has been on the decline for a couple years now.

Even worse, his attitude could be cancerous on any team. It doesn’t look like he as Captain has had many good effects on the Capitals.

Leafs would be taking on close to 16 mill in cap for 2 players. There needs to be some salary going back.

Their holes are the team is filled with big, slow, shitty overpaid players.

What they should do is dump all those guys and fill those spots with young guys like Eakin and Kuztensov and go back to run and gun style of hockey. But if they blow it up I'd be fine with that too. Nonis better take advantage though.

 

[LeafOfFaith]

Washington would never do an OV deal without Kessel going the other way.

It would be a change of scenery type deal for both teams, with Toronto taking the risk that OV can return to old OV, and Washington gambling that they can get the same production out of Kessel going forward for a few million less.

We'd have to put in more pieces, but I don't think any more high end pieces.

I think they need a purge of management like Montreal did last year and I think Oates was not the right man for the job.

 

[Habsy]

Ribiero is a UFA, he's a goner next year.

Ribeiro has been Washington's best player this season. That's pretty scary.

 

[Metalleaf]

Ribeiro could be a Leafs back plan in the summer.

 

[Habsy]

He's still a solid 2nd line center and has stopped his diving shit of years ago.

 

[MyNameIsJonas]

Cody Eakin is in Dallas

By a country mile too.

 

[BG]

OV and the Caps haven't been the same since losing to Montreal/Halak in the playoffs.

 

[Blueman]

OV would look explode in Anaheim, SJ, Pittsburgh and Carolina (yes Carolina)

Any reasoning behind those places?
