Leaf Rumours

I tried during our series against the B's....he was particularly douchetastic, but could never get a consensus on it.

I am not upset about it...just don't want people to be upset that teeds isn't getting banned due to some kind of extreme tolerance. Banning isn't something done very often around here....what with the excellent ignore feature that no one ever uses....

The biggest problem with the ignore feature is that you still see what that person said if somebody else quoted it, as well as any response or discussion that other users may engage in with the person on ignore.

Also, if you are not logged in, you still see that posters comments.

I believe the reason most people would want a ban in this instance is because it would improve the overall quality of the forum to just be rid of said poster, rather than just have that poster on ignore.

Send KB and Teeder packing.
 
Sure get rid of a guy who tells you Dion Phaneuf is blamed internally at MLSE for not busting Chara out of the crease in game seven, then all of you watch Nonis basically say it the next day.

And then you wonder whether some schlomo named Siegel is on the level? Wow, animal print for everyone. (Flinstones).

The bolded happened only in your head.
 
Seriously, just get rid of him.

Who's in favour of keeping teeds around? Who thinks he actually raises the level of discussion?
 
Back to rumours..

I'm hoping the Leafs go after Clarkson and Horton but also Clowe. I'd be happy with any of these players added to the team.
 
Not a 'rumour' per say, but from various interviews Nonis has given over the past 2 days you can conclude this is how he sees the team ...

- Bernier and Reimer together give him double the depth and double the chance of having at least 1 elite starter as he builds his team towards a contender. If either of them turns out to be a top starter, he wins the gamble. If both of them pan out, he's golden because all of a sudden he has a very valuable asset, from 1 guy whom he (or JFJ) drafted late round, and 1 guy he gave up relatively little via a trade.

- He fully expects Reimer and Bernier to share the net, and also fully expect both to compete in a friendly environment to try to win the net. If there are chemistry issues, he'll work on that then, but to him that is secondary to the depth he has added.

- He sees #1 Center as the first and most important position to address at this point, and he said "nobody is untouchable"

- Some interpreted his "Phaneuf comments" as his intention to trade Phaneuf, when in fact all he was trying to address was 1. nobody is untouchable, not even our captain and 2. we have to be very careful with a receding cap ceiling and how we spend our $$ and long term contracts

- Ironically, when he mentioned 'nobody is untouchable but there are core players he has no intention to trade', the 1 player he named as an example is ... not Kadri, not Kessel, but Reimer.

- Said other than center he also wants to add a defenseman to help 'share the load' on the blueline

- Said he won't buyout Komi or anyone until at least after the draft, because buyout makes sense only when it becomes a necessity to other moves he wants to make

- Said the void of Frattin and other players who will leave via UFA can be filled by internal competition, said many prospects are on the verge of making the big league, named Colborne and D'Amigo as players who in his mind CAN crack the team at the camp if they play well

- Said this will be a busy summer, the trade of Bernier is the beginning of a series of moves to improve the team

- said the draft is huge for the team, good teams draft well in early rounds and late rounds, as CHI and BOS both showed

- Said the team will likely be more active on the trade front than UFA signing.

- Said he does want to bring Bozak back IF he fits into the big picture, including financial picture because the cap limit is going down.
 
I like you number17, but Nonis said in a radio interview that he was not interested in trading for a goaltender, and Bernier, a day or two later, the trade was done. Listening to these guys, who have to play poker in the press and the media is copy and paste guys. I give you the inside scoop and since people hate the truth in this world, they reject it. He traded for Bernier after saying we had two perfectly good goaltenders. He was obviously lying through his faking teeth.

Maybe you should ban Nonis from the board? Lol. Look for Phaneuf to get dumped, Carlyle and most of the team cannot look him in the face, after he let Chara take over the front of the net. Leafs expect to get Gauthier if they pick at 21 btw. That is who they want there.

Just like Brian Burke was guaranteed to draft Filip Forsberg last year, right?

You're a fraud. A parasite on this board.

Habsy, and our other Mods, consider this an official petition to ban this jackass.

It's not that I don't believe you or that don't appreciate the insights. We'd just like a source or a quote. We know GMs play games through the media, it happens all the time. This doesn't mean that Nonis is going to blow up the team after their first playoff experience in a decade, even though he will put his stamp on the team. We'll see in a week or two what goes down. Dion is not Nonis' captain, but I expect something to fill that void if he is moved.
 
Nonis never said he was not interested in trading for a goalie. He said he was looking to upgrade at every position including goalie.

You say that Nonis plays "poker" with the media and you insult him for such, then you take a dump on him for lying about his goaltender situation.... Do you not understand the correlation here?

You would want Nonis to come out and tell the press that he is desperately looking for an goalie, and THEN try to negotiate for the best possible value in a trade?

Also, in case you haven't noticed, there are few players in the league that can have their way with Chara. Players bounce off him and the only way that I have seen him hit the ice was when he has been blindsided or hit while off balance. When he is anchored in front of the goalie.... what the fuk do you expect? I doubt there is anyone on the team that faults Phaneuf for not being able to do something no one else in the league can do.
