Kiprusoff would be one expensive #3 goalie.

- Thread starter Hoss
- Start date

Not sure that Kipper would be anything more than the Marlies back-up at this point given McIntyre's red-hot play recently.

Does the media even watch the games?
The Leafs have two goalies with 915+ SV%'s. Why would they trade assets for someone worse?

Kiprusoff is a "name" player and if there's one thing that the media types understand it's "name" players. That goes for most people in the sports industry in general for that matter.
It's why teams always overpay for ridiculous notions such as intangibles.

He was good last year (.920)....but just horrible this year.
Had to laugh at the sportsnet colour guy claiming that the reason kipper was playing good (for 1 period) was because he heard the Iginla rumours and was auditioning himself.

Kiprusoff is the Vernon Wells of the NHL goaltending world: notoriously inconsistent. Hot one year and then ice cold the next.

Yep. The opposite of Iginla.

I'm happy with the Leafs roster as is for now. Unless Leafs can land an impact guy like Thornton, I don't really see the need in adding another 2nd/3rd line forward or 2nd/3rd pairing dman. That won't make them much better. They already have plenty a quality depth. Maybe a #3 goalie in case there's an injury to Reimer/Scrivens, that might be a good idea.

Apparently College UFA Danny DeKeyser will be at the ACC with Leafs management tonight. Watching the game I presume?

I guess there's nothing to lose by signing him, but what exactly is so appealing about a 23 year dman who is playing at a 35 point pace in the NCAA?

Would be nice to sign him. Another free wallet.
Though i've cooled off on expectations of these college freeagents. Who is the last one that became a truly good player?

Bozak :smilewinkgrin:

I am completely neutral really. There's no harm to this but we don't really need him and I'm sure he'll go to a team that will allow him to join the NHL right away and burn a year off of that ELC immediately.
We're just not a team that can offer that anymore (feels good man).

If Kiprusoff's on the market it will severely test TOR GM Dave Nonis' resolve. He doesn't want to give up picks/prospect, but...
I'm so ****ing sick of this. Can the deadline be over please?

Calgary would have to give us prospects and picks to take that contract.

Unless you are getting the Flames first round pick as well there is no sense to do this.
Why would you want the worst NHL starter?
Could this be a 'leak' to force the Nucks?
Even that doesn't make much sense.

Schultz was different - he was drafted and spurned his NHL team, like Wheeler.

He's having a good start to his career, but lets not jump the gun in calling him a truly good player yet.
If he can carve out a Bozak like impact, i guess you cant be too hurt about it.
