Leaf Rumours

Actual thread on Boston HFtards board right now:

"Is Tyler Seguin the Next Phil Kessel? (I Hope Not)"

Example:

After watching Felger and Mazz, they do make some interesting points. Seguin needs to be working the words. Go over the dirty areas and not become a Finesse Player. Believe me Felger is loud mouth who is so annoying, but he is a hockey guy and knows what he is talking about.

This is not a Bash Tyler Seguin trade because as many know here, Tyler seguin is my favorite player on the Bruins. I just dont want to see him become Phil Kessell. Kessel is a pure goal scorer with great hockey hands, but he never fights for the puck, not physical. Is too push around and can mentally be taken out of a game by a physical player. Tyler and Kessel can both score 40 gols per season, but we don't need that from Seggy. We need him to be physical, good defensive player on his own end and fight for lose pucks.

He needs to become a 2way player who fights for the puck ala Bergy but is a better scorer than Bergeron.

True story.

Two 1sts and a 2nd for Seguin anyone?
 
He is done this year.


Which begs the question who leaks to Dredger that a trade for a player with 3m+ and one more year?

Why wouldn't they just say player X or not wont say at all.

This is the early stages of what's known as "omigodmaybeseguinwontevenbeasgoodaskessel syndrome".

You have to remember, most hockey fans and observers have never even considered this a possibility, because seguin has always been a guaranteed superstar....so seeing his soft ineffective play this year is a bit of a shock to the system.
 
I love that Kessel is the soft, one dimensional one that doesn't compete for pucks.

Its like they've never seen Seguin play.
 
That's the problem with the perception of "The Trade". Seguin and Hamilton were always can't miss franchise players before they played a game. Kessel got 82 points with Bozak last season? Who cares. He's a soft, one-dimensional scorer.

Seguin's big numbers in Europe in the Fall caused huge predictions of him putting up monster numbers in the NHL.

Darren Dreger on the Team 1260 today in Edmonton said that the Oilers made an offer to the Leafs for Connolly but the Leafs weren't happy with the return.

He said it was a player making more than 3 million with another year left on their deal. The players that fit that criteria are Nick Schultz, Hemsky and Horcoff.

Teams that have approached the Leafs offering players for the team’s 2013 first round pick have been told it’s not available and isn’t going to be available.

I almost forgot how much I love honest to goodness rumors......(even if both are completely bullshit) it's refreshing to see something reported that is supposedly based on fact, instead of pure mindless speculation from the media.
 
I can't understand why they don't trade Stastny for pennies on the dollar and use those savings to resign O'Reilly......are his demands that outrageous? (legit question, no idea what he's asking for)
