Leaf Rumours

They could use a joey macdonald type. A depth #3 they can use as a back-up to Scrivens until Reimer is healthy. A guy you don't care if you lose to waivers eventually. I don't trust Rynnas to play.

Yeah, what would be useful is a vet who can be moved to the Marlies as well. I'm guessing one of the still UFA goalies, as if they aren't signed now, they'll likely have no probs with waivers. The Marlies probably need help as well.

That's right. Rynnas can't play in the NHL (but then again, he's no worse than Gustavsson imo)

A depth 3rd guy won't hurt, but I don't think that's what Nonis is talking about. I presume he's talking about a Luongo type of guy (which ... well is basically just Luongo)

Then he hasn't watched the Leafs goalies this year if he thinks he needs a #1.

The perfect situation has unfolded for the Leafs this year. Two cheap, young, good goalies. No need to mess with what.

I agree with you, but potentially Nonis is thinking of experience that he will need for the playoff.

Which I disagree with, but he may think the performance by Scrivens may not be sustainable. Reimer, at least we have reasons to believe he can sustain at that level.
 
Scrivens isn't going to post a 939 SV%. But he can post something around 920. As can Reimer.

I don't see how you can improve on that, unless they trade for Luongo. But why would give up good assets and lots of cash for him at this point. Didn't make sense to me in the offseason, and doesn't make any sense to me now now given the Leafs goaltending so far.
 
It would be pretty terrible to go out and get someone like Luongo right now unless he came on the cheap - you couldnt blame nonis for that.

But i would be pretty dissapointed if he went and did that, giving up valuable assets, all the while we are posting Top 5 goalie stats right now.

And as far as im concerned - i could care less about Luongo's "experience". His experience does not include a Stanley Cup. If it did, maybe i'd think twice about it, but as far as im concerned he hasnt been able to get the job done yet so if someone younger and cheaper is putting up similar numbers why would you pass that up right now.

You have some GMs out there (likely Gillis included) who would love to have our goalie payroll right now and receiving the quality we are and we would essentially be throwing our advantage out the window.
 
To ANA: Grabovski, Kulemin, MacArthur, Colborne, Liles, Gunnarsson, Finn, 1st round pick
To TOR: Getzlaf, Perry
 
In all likelihood, Getzlaf and Perry re-sign with the Ducks.

Players are people too, and they have family, and their family lives in the city they play.

That's why so few players whose team wants them back actually change team despite hitting UFA.

That's certainly the best bet, but what's the word out of Anaheim? Are either of these guys even negotiating with the Ducks yet?
 
Getzlaf is a long shot but there is long been speculation that Perry is a real home body and wants to be closer to his family.

That could mean siging with a numbers of teams in that area but there is a glimmer of hope when it comes to getting him
 
what are people's take of paying alot less for someone like Thorton.

Grabs Kule and a Dman for Thorton?
 
Why would San Jose get rid of their top-line centre at this point? They're fighting to make the post-season at this point and I cannot foresee how that sort of deal would help them, Hoss.

Maybe in the off-season if they want to clean house and go in another direction, but not now.

Well, depends what happens in the next few weeks. After their amazing start, that entire team has been crashing and burning pretty hard; seven straight losses (three of those coming in overtime), and their offense has dried up as well. They've only scored 8 goals in those seven losses. If that continues on for too much longer in this shortened season, they're going to have to seriously consider blowing things up before they get to the off-season.

Why did Boston get rid of him in the first place?

Answer: Culture Change!!!!!!

The most ridiculously stupid reason for trading talent for nothing in the history of sports.
 
Thornton would be a monster on this team. Almost ideal fit. Better player than Getzlaf in my opinion.

Either would be fantastic additions to the team.
