If they are in on Kipper its because they have no faith in Scrivens, and not a ton of faith in Reimer.

No need to be dramatic. Kipper would be a short term aide. He clearly wouldn't be a Reimer replacement.

A rumour by Nick Kypreos.

How can you justify a player with his contract as a 2/3 goalie?

As opposed to a rumour by your imagination?

What?

You can't. But that is what he'll be here if he doesn't rebound. Reimer wouldn't lose playing time to a guy playing like trash. Just like Tim Connolly didn't stop Kadri from making the team.

At worst, he would split duties with Reimer. They aren't bringing in a 6 mill goalie to play for the Marlies or sit on the bench with a towel.

Exactly what I was thinking. More of a shot at Scrivens then Reimer.

That Nonis is talking to Kipper to convince him to go to the Marlies.

Yeah, I reported that as a fact.

I wonder if Burke would make this move. I definitely don't think he's coming to play in the AHL. That's just plain dumb and even though Nonis just recently took over it'd be hard to take him seriously after a move like that. As i said before, it's more that they want someone to help Reims when he isn't going. Expect Scrivens to be the guy out as i am not sure we'll be going with 3 goalies either.

If Nonis is that dumb and that are his intentions do you think Carlyle would also follow suit.
I don't. You play who is hot and right now it is Reimer. That won't change
I still dont want this to happen however I dont see this being a move to knock Reimer off his mantle.

Its what you are suggesting though. You claimed Kypreos isn't a reliable source so we shouldn't believe that Kipper wouldn't report and should instead believe what you are suggestion. Your imagination is a less reliable source.
Kipper is obviously using what little leverage he has though as he does not have a NTC. That is the only reason Nonis would talk to him.

No hysteria. Just disbelief.

All I've suggested is that you shouldn't treat Kypreos' rumour as fact. Doesn't take much imagination, but if you want to run with Nick's rumours, by all means.

Better than running with your imagination.
Far more believable that Kipper would try to leverage his situation to get some say in the matter than that Nonis would go out and acquire a $6 million AHL player.
