Leaf Rumours

I wouldn't give up the first for JBo...

I would give up that first in a package for a centre.... not Statsny or Ribeiro but I think that first could be used for something else.

I usually like your trade suggestions. If you think we need a d-man (and I'd agree) who would you target?

the market is going to be limited since so many teams are still in the race.

i think zeke mentioned it a few days ago - i wouldn't be against going after brewer. i've long thought him to be overrated, but at $4mn he carries decent value, and is only signed until he's 35 so that contract is moveable. he brings a bit of everything, which i like, and is actually pretty comparable defensively to bouwmeester (not as good becaise he doens't have his foot speed, but they play a pretty similar game).

hejda, if colorado would move him.

phoenix also has some interesting pieces -- michalek or morris would help - and i especially like them since they are both right shots (taking carlyle's right-left split into account).

if dallas starts moving pieces daley or robidas would fit the bill.

as for what i would give up... i wouldn't hesitate in any trade to give up some package of 2nd rounders (2013 and 2014), d'amigo, ashton, ryan, mckegg, percy, leivo, brown. if you're getting a guy with prime years left in him and term then you can discuss biggs, colborne or finn.

the 1st should be a conditional.

COndition being we win the cup. Otherwise Vancouver can go f*ck themselves. If not, they get a 3rd rounder.

J-Bo bro, J-Bo.

As Luongo's staunchest supporter around here prior to the start of the season, even I admit that we simply don't need him. We rolled the dice that Reimer would return to form and Scrivens could translate some style issues into NHL success, and both have turned out nicely. I wasn't in the mood to gamble with potentially wasting a season of what I thought was a very good, young roster.

Thankfully, I was wrong.

This is about J-Bo

i mean could you imagine this guy in toronto?
 
he's way worse than kessel. it isn't even close.

especially since he's also pouty and just weird.

kessel isn't comfortable with a camera in his face but he isn't a ****ing sketchbag.

I still find Phil weirder..He looks like he wants to run away and either covers up his face(sometimes wears a cap where you can see part of his face) or starts backing up and cameras follow into a corner..I've seen plenty of interviews with guys touching their nose, sweating so much, etc.
 
I just hope that if we get J-Bo it doesn't become a Larry Murphy situation.

Similar personalities from what i recall of a younger Murphy.
 
j-bo doesn't really give you anything we don't have, IMO. And he's whatever you wanna call the opposite of a "clutch leader"

Pretty awkward. Although in Phil's defense, he looks pretty smashed.

"You OK?" "Wha? Yeah. You think that's gonna hurt?" lol

Bozak's probably like... "yeah, I'll be over THERE, guys..."

I know personality is important in the room, but the North American sports media puts such an exaggerated importance on personality. Part of the reason they tried to run Kessel out of town was his awkwardness.

Messi is pretty boring, but all the Barcelona media care about is how he plays football. Which is kinda how it should be, so long as the guy doesn't piss his team mates off.
