Leaf Rumours

Just looked at Kippers stats. Wow! I had no idea they were that bad. So bad that you begin to question is he even an NHL goalie. Stay away! Stay far away from him.
 
Reimer hears about all these dispatches from the media-driven trade front and just shrugs. “You know, with the last couple of games (before deadline day), that you only have a few more chances to show what you can do and that’s how I approached it. Right now, there’s literally nothing I can do about it. I could sit here and be worried and have anxiety and be stressing about it. But there’s nothing I can do so I’m not going to worry about it. They’re going to make the decision that they feel is right and we’re going to roll with it.”

Thing is that he responded to the latest Louongo mania spectacularly. It's one of the things I like best about Reimer. He's about the furthest thing you'll find from a headcase.
 
Nonis sent Komi and Connolly down because they lost their spots. He didn't give up assets to bring them in here just to dump them off.
 
I don't think Nonis will bring him here if he's not open to playing for the Marlies ... hence, why they want to talk with him personally rather than his agent. I also doubt it would take any assets whatsoever to get this guy.
 
Yeah, seriously BL, why the hell would we give up assets to take on a huge salary and stick him in the minors?

He's not comparable to Connolly and Komisarek... we were stuck with them, we didn't go out of our way to give up assets for them.

Don't get me wrong, if we brought him here and stuck him in the AHL I would be okay with it, just seems rather far fetched

Yeah, the whole hockey world including his gm telling a young goalie that he's not good enough despite his .920sv% is definitely best for reimer and the leafs.

It's precisely because Kiprusoff has zero at best trade value that you go after him. Nonis doesn't want to give up futures. This works. If it happens, it will be a multiplayer deal or some career AHLer.

It's comparable in the sense that Nonis is completely willing to put high salaries for former NHLers on the Marlies. He's also said repeatedly this year that guys don't play for the Leafs because of the name on their jersey or their contract ... and backed it up. He's not about to reverse all of this to address something that he says isn't a big priority.
 
It's mikka kiprusoff, one of thr most lionized goalies in hockey. bringing him in is a huge statement, that would definitely cost us assets, and not a move for a 3rd stringer.
 
This franchise just loves to just **** with it's top young players.

It's amazing they've done as well as they have given they're constantly being told they aren't good enough to play on a team that's missed the playoffs 8 years running.

And our fetish for overpaid scrubs needs to stop.
