Leaf Rumours

Isn't anyone here concerned about Reimer in shootouts? I know I am. And another thing that concerned me was the drop in Kadri's play soon after he was quoted as saying he looked up the scoring stats in the papers and couldn't believe he was in the top ten. He was invisible pretty well after that. That was disappointing.

Leafs get Jonathan Bernier from LA for Matt Frattin, Ben Scrivens and 2nd rd pick in either '14 or '15.
 
L.A. was holding out for our first in that deal, I cannot believe that to be true even though I said it was a pick and Frattin for Bernier. IF this is true, we now have someone who can win a shootout. Heck, I would take Reimer out in the games he backs up Bernier, if it goes to a shootout.

I have a hard time believing that we got a goalie with this potential for that package. Lovely if true. I love Frattin, he has massive potential, but I think his knee is Antropovian, and will hold back what would have been a phenomenal career. Hope not for his sake.
 
Seems to be true, hope that my other rumour does NOT come true though. Nonis approached the Oilers about Gardiner and our first for their number seven pick. In the hopes of getting Sean Monahan. Unless you think that this Rielly kid can step in and be Bobby Lite like Gardiner was/is.

We need a big, franchise center, no doubt, but giving up the first guy to remind me of Bobby Orr, would be hard.

So according to Doug Maclean, Bernier starts with a first rounder. This is like the Rick Nash situation. We will hear how Bernier will fetch this huge package and he'll be acquired for far less.

i wish someone had said to maclean 'what about a package from the leafs involving scrivens, frattin and a 2nd' just to hear what he would have said.

granted, he probably doesn't know woh frattin or scrivens are.

My stock partner who has played with P.K. Seguin and Monahan says btw, that Monahan is great under appreciated and ranked. He thinks he will be awesome in the NHL. Apparently Nonis feels the same way.

Still, it is my contention that the insertion of Gardiner into our lineup,that befuddled the Bruins in game five, six and most of seven. Too bad the rest of the team went into a defensive shell and didn't take it to the bastards.

Frattin is the wild card in that deal. IMO. If his knee magically turns out to be okay, he could be a real nice piece on a pretty feisty L.A. team. Still, Bernier for a future second, and a third liner and a goalie that might not play another game in the NHL, would be a steal.

Well L.A. was originally holding out for a first according to my sources. As good GM's always do initially. I wonder why L.A. pulled the trigger on this deal and didn't hold out for this years second, a year where many feel this is the best draft ever?

Its probably as mbow30 is inferring, that there wasn't all that much interest. Nice to see more goalie depth. Huge imo. I don't consider Scrivens NHL yet. Wildly erratic, with the outside potential to one day be a wow. But slight imo.

Nah, we win the deal. We don't lose anything of great import. It's what happens in our net situation now that is up for debate.

As for trading Gardiner, I can't believe anyone would be so stupid as to even entertain it. That one can't be true.

Some rumblings Phaneuf may be in play. Nonis says he will trade just about anyone, but says no one has called on the captain...yet. #TSN
 
Personally, I'd rather be 'short' a #1 Dman with Gardiner and Rielly in house, than short a legit #1 center.....

I also question whether any legit #1 centers are available tho....even if Phaneuf was involved.
 
With Franson, Gardiner, Reilly, Gunnar and co., there is a the potential that we could get by. But if Phaneuf is involved we would likely address the position via free agency as that foursome comes with question marks. Reilly becoming great gives us lots of options.

This could tell us that they may be having issues getting Dion to commit to an extension and may look to move him before he hits free agency.
 
Could Joe be in play from the Sharks if we dangle Dion? They could use a lot of help on the backend. Think it would have to be part of a bigger deal, though.
 
JoshRimerHockey: Hearing Leafs have had discussions with Oilers about Sam Gagner. Leafs are looking for a young centre and he certainly fits the bill.
