Leaf Rumours

Why? plenty of otherwise smart GMs have fallen for the lure of a "name" goalie. happens all the time. just like with "name" defensive dmen. those GMs deserved to be criticized.

None of Nonis' past history indicates a proclivity to making those mistakes. If anything he seems to be a very sensible, conservative trader in his approach historically.

He's no Milbury that's for sure.

he got a vet goalie early last stint as GM. no way of knowing his goalie decisions when he doesn't have a proven name goalie in net already.
 
Listen, people can call me whatever names they want.

Reality is, I was one of the few people here who said NOT to give up assets for Luongo (or any other expensive goalie) in the offseason. Go with the young, cheap guys we got because they are good goalies. And both guys have provided the Leafs top 10 goaltending.

Excuse me for not wanting to **** with that.

Whatever, you've been going on and on about this. It's all there. You were even suggesting that Kipper would be made the starter.

thinking that we would trade for Kipper and his $6m caphit, but that he wouldn't be a heartbeat at most away from being the starter, is naive IMO.

And I agree entirely with your philosophy. You were one of the few who steadfastly maintained going with the youngsters and that position has turned out to be completely defensible given their strong play.

Which is why I agree with you that Kipper makes absolutely zero sense.

What? The only name goalie Nonis got as GM of the Canucks was Luongo ... a buttrape of a deal.

I already said, If the Flames are giving us their pick or a top prospect, it might make some sense.

So as you've said over and over again, you think Nonis is an idiot if he trades for Kipper, even tho you yourself agree with what me and BL are saying....which is that there are scenarios under which such an acquisition would make sense for us.


No ones arguing the Leafs should deal assets for him, and take on his entire 2014 salary.
 
Checked in to see if there's been any discussion about the Kiprusoff rumour. Doesn't look like there is ... all I see is a bunch of hysterical whining.

The rumours aren't saying that the Leafs are getting assets back though.

That's why there's concern not just from myself, but from other posters.

Maybe it's misplaced concern, we will see.
