Leaf Rumours

[MyNameIsJonas]

I wouldn't want to trade for him, but if we're that interested in vet experience backups we should trade for giguere, who's cheap, decent, and has a cup ring. and his team is in last place so they don't need him.

He or Bulin make sense, yes.

 

[MyNameIsJonas]

If you trade for Luongo you do it with the intention of amnistying him after next season. I don't mind a 9 year committment to him, but not with Reimer in the fold.

Reimer-Lu would give us the best tandem in the league and a legit shot at a cup, just like Lu-Schneider has given the Canucks.

Possible.

 

[leafman101]

We can afford to move Kuly or Mac far more than we can afford to move Bozak.

 

[BeLeafer]

MLSE isn't going to piss away $45M to have Luongo for 1.25 seasons.

 

[Artnes]

I have no problem with an amnesty as long as the inital return is pennies on the dollar. I would rather not waste an asset/s on a inevitable buyout.

 

[leafman101]

Why the hell not? A playoff run is worth far more than whatever Luongo's buyout is.

Luongo jersey sales are probably worth more.

 

[BeLeafer]

Leafs are already going to make the playoffs without Luongo and he certainly doesn't guarantee a long playoff run. No way MLSE agrees to eat that contract for 1.25 years of service.

 

[leafman101]

Agree to disagree. MLSE spending money is not anywhere up there on my list of concerns. Never has, never will be.

The flames are actually a .500 team this year even when they get ahl calibre goaltending from mcdonald, irving, and taylor (7-7-2, .896sv%).

They've only really sucked when kipper's been in net (6-10-2) because he's been far worse than even the ahl calibre goalies with his laughable .868sv%.

He's much younger, cheaper, and more reliable than khabi.

Destined for the AHL.

 

[PlayerToBeNamedLater]

Kipper would just retire if any team ever tried to send him to AHL.

It's not happening.

 

[PlayerToBeNamedLater]

Just need to survive a few more hours with our team intact.

Hopefully not too much damage is done.

Leafs are still talking Luongo it looks like

 

[Artnes]

Any names being thrown around?

 

[leafman101]

Have to think this Kipper stuff was a smokescreen. The Canucks are finally at the point where they need to move Luongo.

 

[Killer93]

Discussion, but no hard negotiations on Bozak extension in Toronto - Dreger

Might as well just deal Scrivens and Reimer then. If you bring him in, you need to play him a lot for him to be worth that contract.

It would be so Leafs to bring in an old guy, with a huge contract who has performed worse this season than the guys they currently have.

 

[Artnes]

And for some reason Gillis still thinks he has the upper hand in negotiations.

If we do indeed end up getting Lou, Nonis takes it to the wire and calls Gillis's bluff.

 

[leafman101]

Gillis is an agent. He's handling this like an agent.

Its all posturing because he knows he has no bargaining power at all.
