Leaf Rumours

put me in the hell's no category for JBo... When he left Florida he didn't want to play in a media market... Carlyle wants his defensman with a bit of sandpaper. He has already told Gardiner..."finish your checks". Giordano is an interesting case... a little offense and some toughness as well.. hell of a lot cheaper too.

Hell's no to JBo
 
Bouwmeester isn't the answer, keeping the first round draft pick is if that's what it costs. Jbou isn't much of an upgrade to what we already have, to give up a first round pick for that is just foolish. I don't see Nonis being that foolish, if you can get him on the cheap then sure, why not.
 
I'm kind of good finishing the season with the roster we have. We're not going to win the Cup this year but we have a good spoiler team that could upset a first round opponent. A decent playoff run would do the young players good and we wouldn't have to give up assets.

Plus, I'm not really crazy about what's on the market. J-Bo? Not a competitor. Yandle? Why bump Gardiner down the depth chart. Kipper? Maybe, but he'd have to come super cheap. Luongo? **** Mike Gillis. Derek Roy? Talented but mercurial. He does respond to tough coaches, though.
 
They don't post anything on that site. They do mention that Chicago is trying to get ribeiro and that if stats is healthy the leafs will be in on that. I gues that is the former western conference all star
 
I'm not sure if I've ever seen him get an NHL story......and given the enormous amount of shit he throws at the wall, that's saying something. As Artnes alludes to, he's definitely got some NFL contacts though, as I've seen him break a number of stories there....
 
I would love to see bozak just go. Give grabs the top line minutes. If bozak is there for his face offs. Then grabs can give the same thing. Put mclement as the third line centre and let komorov play the fourth or get colbourne up here

Luongo to Toronto. Yeah, it’s still a thing.

Talks have picked up with teams like the Toronto Maple Leafs. But up to this point, the Leafs are trying to get Luongo for a second-round pick, and maybe a prospect.

That’s not going to get it done for the Canucks, who have been chasing Tyler Bozak since last May when Brian Burke first approached Vancouver GM Mike Gillis to tell him the Leafs coveted Luongo.

The Leafs apparently believe they have all this leverage because the team is doing well and has essentially made the playoffs. But a question they must ponder is how much do their chances of winning a round improve with Luongo in net instead of James Reimer?

And if they do win a round, how much money is that bringing in?

The Canucks, of course, believe they still have plenty of leverage. They are convinced there will be a goalie free-for-all this summer when there will be as many as nine teams in search of a goalie.

A 2nd round pick is more like it.

The funny thing is Gillis probably could have had Kadri for him last summer. Now he'll get nothing.
 
That's what I want Nonis to do, know he's got Gillis over a barell and literally offering him a bag of pucks.

I would pay the price of just Bozak and maybe scrivens... but I would only do that if I could get Ribeiro or Statsny with another player.
 
I would say that virtually all of this Leafs interest in Luongo is Gillis's fantasy and attempts to pressure the Leafs by calling up local hacks with tales about them negotiating.
 
Yeah can't imagine we're actively pursuing him anymore. Gillis is desperately trying to keep it alive whilst saving face. Not to say Nonis isn't listening to what Gillis has to say, just doubt it is him initiating the dialogue.
