Leaf Rumours

Crossing my fingers Nonis doesn't mess with the core of this team – Kessel, Phaneuf, Lupul, Kadri, JVR, Gardiner, Franson, Reimer. I mean, he must see that the Leafs as currently constructed pretty much played the Bruins to a draw. And they're a young and motivated group who is still learning and improving. The only thing I could really buy in terms of messing with that core is trading one of our d-men for a #1 center.

If Nonis can add to that core without creating a hole elsewhere, we are looking mighty good.

Core? He has been told to get rid of two of them, and get a number one center.
 
Thanks for the updates. ;)..but yeah it wouldn't surprise me if some of our big pieces are moved for a center..Who else can we give up really? If it's someone real good we can't give them crap in return.
 
Doooshhhh. You guys have heard it from me, and now that a talking head has given a tweet, you are embarassed that you might have to give up your matching Dion and Elisha pillows. Good lord, some of you guys have to wash your Larry Tan a buM bedsheets sometimes.

They have already been told already Darren. And I am privy to most of them. Gardiner is our best player in a long,long time. Now most teams would keep such a player, but the Leafs.................

Tan a Bum, freaked out after the 4-1 giveaway by the Leafs and gave an ultimatum. NHL Goaltender, number one center who can win a faceoff, get rid of Phaneuf, etc...

Yep. Privy is right.
 
And predictions are trolling? No? Some people are too fan. Meaning as soon as they find a player wearing our jersey they inflate his value. Schenn was the most perfect illustration of this in chatboard history. He literally had chatboards all over the globe of Leaf fans oozing with inflation, when in actual fact, no matter how far back you regressed his league of play, a realist couldn't really categorically say that he could stickhandle around a school bus, or shoot, or heck even win a fight.

Some here, are pretty right on, but many others are too fan, and it disturbs the ability to discuss GAME.

So right again. You're on fire. What happened at the other board/forum anyways? Did you try posting anywhere else? So you do love us still eh? ;)

You don't make predictions...

You make fruitless guarantees as phrased like a 1920's reporter breaking the story...with back alley shady dealings and orders from above.

You are like Danny DeVito from L.A. Confidential only not credible, not likeable, and not HUSH HUSH.

As I said before...a snake oil salesman with a mega horn and shitty sales pitch

You need to do a better job phrasing your predictions (I think, In my opinion, I believe, sources tell me...) rather than speaking in absolutes (Kessel's played his last game, Lupul hates Carlyle and will walk, Schenn isn't an NHLer, Crosby is finished). Higher ups might say a lot of things, doesn't mean that they'll happen. If Nonis is forced to trade core players because of a poor 10 minute stretch - then this team is in real trouble. I don't buy it.
 
My buddy told me that Nonis likely has 2 to 3 significant deals on the table; and apparently one of them will piss us off greatly if it happens. Most in the media would be shocked if at least one of these doesn't go down by the draft.
 
I bet Gardiner is one of the names. I honestly would rather let Rielly go(since we haven't seen him play in the NHL yet)..Jake will be even better.
 
I think it was Nonis, or maybe it was Burke who said, if the media/fans really new about the names discussed on a daily basis, they'd be amazed. 99% don't get trade, but there's that 1%.

Nonis better comparable talents for those guys. I don't want any 2 for 1's where we give up the best player.
