Leaf Rumours

Meh, if the flames give us something to take Kipper off their hands, great.

Amnesty him in the offseason, and sign him to an extension as the backup.
 
The dude has 2 good years in the last 6, is in the middle of the worst year of his career, has a $5 mill cap hit next year, would be our 3rd best goalie and we are going to trade for him AND sign him to an extension?
 
I can almost guarantee that the extension talk is total bullshit. Nonis is one of the smartest guys in the business, he's not going to **** himself on this. If it ever happened, I'd guess it would be a Lombardi type deal ... we get a nice asset for relieving them of the ugly contract.
 
I'm not going to panic about anything until it's official, but as I said earlier, if we acquire Kipprusoff, I will immediately become the enthusiastic driver of the "fire Nonis" bandwagon.
 
My gut feeling is this is just a smokescreen, makes no sense to give up assets for Kipper given his numbers compared to Reimers and Scrivens
 
That fact that this might be even contemplated is beyond ridiculous and makes me question the Leafs sanity.

The guy has close to a 6mill cap hit next year. One of the worst contracts in the league. Unless we're getting the Flames 1st rounder, Nonis should be fired if he makes a deal like his.

And a contract extension on top of it? After Nonis is fired, put him in the looney bin immediately.
 
interesting point on sportsnet

the leafs (or flames) cant even offer a contract extension until after july 5

Yeah ... total bullshit. Guy will be 37 in October. They're not talking about contract, they're talking, if at all, about backup/Marlies.
