Leaf Rumours

Never said you did I'm looking for clarification.

If I say he said it, and you said he never said it... that's certainly the implication.

I was just driving home from work. About 10 minutes ago. Whichever station it was - 1050 or 590 - had Bruce Arthur on and cut away to talk to Dave Nonis. He specifically mentioned that Kiprusoff didn't feel right accepting the move and taking the extension, because his heart wasn't in it.
 
Darren Dreger ‏ Canucks called at 2pm...made a trade offer, Tor declined. Van called at 2:30 with 2nd offer, Tor declined...3rd offer at 2:45pm...decline.

Multiple options in Luongo trade talks with Leafs. Told Canucks wanted Scrivens and multiple picks in talk between 2pm and 3pm et. #TSN

Wow, do they ever sound desperate.
 
I heard Nonis say that too right off the top of his presser. Nonis confirmed that he talked to Kiprusoff about coming here and signing an extension, but that Kiprusoff declined for "personal reasons".

Thank you, Mr. Nonis.

Nonis is going to get Luongo for such a cheap f*cking price this summer......is Gillis was this desperate right now, just imagine how desperate he'll be this summer when he's got a chance to free up that cap space for free agency, and another year of cap penalties staring him in the face.
 
I wouldn't mind Luongo for cheap as much as I would've minded Kiprusoff + an extension.

Hopefully neither at this point though.

I think it's dependent on how far we go in the playoffs. If somehow we manage to get to Conference Finals i don't think there is any reason to go after Luongo. If it's round 1 exit and especially if goalies aren't performing i think it makes it much more likely..but yeah i wouldn't go after Luongo if our goalies prove they can go far and do well.

Hopefully ownership fires Nonis before he can make that colossal mistake.

Either that, or Reimer plays so well that he gives Nonis no choice.

So, Nonis turns them down, says Reimer and Scrivens are the guys for a long time, but you think he should be fired for thinking about this even though he repeatedly turned them down?

Weird.

I think if there's a first round exit, it'll be because of our D and that 6 minute mental breakdown we seem to have every game... not our goalies.

But we've got an ideal situation here, IMO. There's no pressure this postseason. Who expects us to do anything? Go with the kids, get them some experience.

I assume thats why Nonis didn't pull the trigger. He'll only lock himself up for 10 years into Luongo if he has to.

Reimer has looked great.

Yep, it's win win......Reimer looks great the rest of the way, we stick with him. If he gives him reason to question his abilities to be a #1 going forward, he can acquire one of the best goalies in the league, for a song.

I don't think Nonis should be fired, but I dunno how you think him pursuing Kiprusoff with the intention of extending him is OK.

Again, I'm not thrilled about Kiprusoff but he was excruciatingly clear that he wanted him as a depth guy behind Reimer and Scrivens. No surprise Kiprusoff didn't want any part of it.
