Leaf Rumours

Boston getting Iginla sucks. That's a pretty awesome addition for them. A big time forward is exactly what they need. And maybe he's getting up there but he should still have a couple years left at least.

And for nothing in return.
 
The flames simply cannot make that deal as stated.

There is literally not one good piece they're getting back. It's horrific. They simply have to be getting an "A" young piece back somehow, even if it's 3way with edmonton.

This all sounds familiar, doesn't it?

Yup, the spin has already started on the Flames board about how this isn't really that bad of a return. They really like the "trade one good player for many mediocre players" trade philosophy, don't they?

They definitely don't seem to be students of history.
 
Can just imagine Don Cherry's reaction to this proposed trade. "Who the heck is Cocklachev? You traded Iginla for this guy?"

Bozak + Liles would actually make sense. Colorado is desperately in need of puck-moving on the backend, and we can't keep all 3 of our centres if we're getting Stastny.

Given Stastny's salary I can't imagine it could cost any more than that, but I guess we could add a secondary prospect or pick in there. maybe even Colborne. One year of that caphit isn't a killer, and if he improves between Lupul and Kessel (which would be likely) and we can re-sign him for a more reasonable amount, it could work out.

Stastny isn't a massive upgrade over Bozak, but he does beat him in most categories, and is even as good in faceoffs. maybe better.

I think I've convinced myself.

I suggested this deal earlier in the season and would jump all over it. Stasny is definitely an upgrade over Bozak, albeit not massive as you say. However, the kid has potential to rebound and become a ppg player again if things go well. Could be a classic case of needing a change of environment. Well worth the risk even with the salary commitment next year.

Get 'er done, Dave.

Honestly, I'd rather make a pitch for Ribeiro if Washington can't lock him up before the deadline.

I rarely like to speculate on trades, but think Washington would bite on an offer of Grabovsky and Komarov for Ribeiro?

price is bit high if you compare to price Was paid
Dallas Stars traded Mike Ribeiro to the Washington Capitals for Cody Eakin and a 2nd round selection in 2012
