Leaf Rumours

[worm]

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

Down Goes Brown ‏@DownGoesBrown 15m
Would explain this year's save percentage. RT @bradyfan590: Kiprusoff's a total smokescreen.

5.8 mill for a goalie with a .873 SV%

sample size


i hate kipper as much as the next guy...... but worst contract is a bit much

even luongo's is worse

edit: hell if we are just looking at this year didnt Quick sign a new deal?

And we're finally so close of getting rid of all the overpaid crap.

Qucik, someone throw Nonis' phone down the toilet.

 

[BeLeafer]

Kipper had an NMC until last year. The only thing stupid around here is people thinking Nonis will do something stupid here based on a rumour from a not entirely credible source.

If there's any truth to this, it would almost surely be a Lombardi type deal to get another asset from the Flames. He can be sent to the Marlies and maybe he decides that's better than playing the AHL for wherever the Flames have their affiliate. This is one of the ways to acquire good futures assets in today's NHL, as the Lombardi and Lupul deals showed.

**** me. we clear out all of komi, connolly, lombardi, armstrong, etc. and are just about out from under the buyout hits on tucker and armstrong.....and here we go adding a $5.8m backup goalie, when we're already getting great goaltending for peanuts. **** me.

the sample size in 2011 when he posted a subpar 906 SV% big enough? or 2009 when he posted a worse 903 SV%?

I said one of the worst, not the worst.

 

[ForeverTML]

Why in the fawk does Nonis start looking at shitty options like Kipper over what we have now? We have an above average goaltending tandem and I dont have any issue with going into the playoffs with them. This trade deal has to include something else valueable from Calgary. It just doesnt make hockey sense at all.

 

[ForeverTML]

If Nonis gets fleeced by Feaster - then we seriously have to consider Nonis' competence.

no.... that still isnt a bad contract

and yes i agree he is overrated garbage.... i have been saying that for years

He posted a .920 in 2012 and 2010, in over 70 games each season......he's hardly garbage.

 

[worm]

I said one of the worst, not the worst.

well saying one of the worst implies that there are few as bad

i can think of at least two goalie only contracts that are that bad

and that is just off the top of my head

hell it wouldnt even be the worse contract on the leafs

 

[PlayerToBeNamedLater]

5.8 mill for the worst starter currently in the NHL isn't a bad contract?

If Kipper was having an average year, it's still a bad contract.

 

[worm]

He posted a .920 in 2012 and 2010, in over 70 games each season......he's hardly garbage.

and he always starts slow

but he is still overrated

 

[PlayerToBeNamedLater]

If you have 2 good years out of every 5...you're garbage.

 

[Montana]

Career .921 in the playoffs.

 

[Montana]

and he always starts slow

but he is still overrated

Agreed.
