Leaf Rumours

[LeafGm]

Pretty interesting numbers there.

~75% of the time Grabo has played with Kulemin and McClement/Komarov. Only 25% of his ice time came with JVR or Mac.

However, ~75% of his ES production has come with one of Mac, JVR or Frattin on his line.

Those numbers reflect excatly what I was saying.

All the more reason to give Grabbo a shot with Kessel already. Though it appears that with everyone healthy up front, he's going to have Mac and Frattin on his wings. So if he can get producing with those guys and turn us into a three line team all the better. Still annoying to keep seeing Bozak on that first line though.

 

[Blueman]

Our biggest need is a Center. Would either team do this deal?

To Edmonton:
Rielly, Liles

To Toronto:
RNH

 

[Habsy]

Doubt it.

 

[Killer93]

Oilers would laugh at that IMO

veryhard

 

[Fitzgerald#11]

Wonder if they can afford to keep Gagne?? Maybe someone to target

 

[KingTucker]

TheFourthPeriod (Yeah, I know...) has a rumour that ex-Kings magnate Tim Leiweke could be Richards Peddie's successor. Apparently he was very "hands on" with the Kings management...also mentions he is going to New York to speak with Dolan.

Bob McCowan was talking about that yesterday on the fan. mentioned how it would be a step down as AEG is huge, but that he had that as an offer.

No thanks. We don't need a new MLSE President with a history of meddling with the on-ice product.

Apparently Doug Armstrong is in buffalo watching buff-leafs tonight. Interesting to here as we've heard these rumblings for the last month or so.

My guess is we are looking at Brian Elliott. I'd like to see the cost.

 

[zeke]

why the hell would we add Elliott?

 

[hockeylover]

People are really desperate for us to add a goaltender it seems. I've heard Kipper, Elliott, Bernier, Theodore, and Luongo in the last two weeks.

Andy Strickland has been reporting for weeks the Blues are looking to move Stewart.

Heh. And Miller apparently.

 

[JackBurton]

We have two good young goalies. Stay the course.

The media is still digging up that old Luongo story. No NHL team wants Luongo.

 

[BG]

Maybe Nonis is looking at someone like Andy McDonald...

 

[MyNameIsJonas]

Maybe he should look at someone to prevent turnovers...

Kind of weird considering Stewart's having a pretty solid rebound season.

it is because you need it for the long term, the two you have are not technically sound goalies and will be a matter of time before they fall from grace.. if i had to pick one to run with it would be Scrivens

 

[PlayerToBeNamedLater]

The Leafs have the ideal situation in goal -- two good, young, cheap goalies. They would be stupid to screw with that.

You would think not being "technically sound" would show up at some level -- but it hasn't. Both have been good-very good at every single level of hockey.
