( @Zee ) that would be amazing! To be serious, I always wanted him to come back and play with a matured Toronto Maple Leafs roster, but having him sit in the stands that day when he came down to watch the game made me feel a sense of pride inside. Im sure Burke will make us all feel proud with the team we have at that time.

 

[Capn_Crunch]

Ah. So basically he's as legit as any of us posters.

**DEAL DONE**. WAITING FOR LEAGUE APPROVAL. LEAFS GET GETZLAF FOR GRABOVSKI & A 1ST!!

That was fun.

So, now we just sit back and wait for the internet to explode. ;D

My god did he really post that?

I think that was RedLeaf having some fun.

Yeah. Same as sideshow bob, or whatever his name is...

Yup I already know how those twitter guys work.  They'll never put "DONE DEAL!" until after they hear it reported somewhere legit and then they'll take credit for it by pointing back to their rumors.  If ANYTHING happens in the next 72 hours, Bob will take full credit, if not he'll say "deal fell through".

Nice to see you are talking about what you do not know anything about. IBN isn't anywhere near eklund and company. If you put aside the blathering and usual net posturing he actually does call more things right then most do. He has nailed more then a few NFL/NBA/MLB trades right on the money. His  record with NHL trades isn't as good but he still has much more credibility then eklund and most of the other toolboxes who wait for the deal to be done and then try to take credit for calling it.

Some people here act like when someone shares a rumor or possibility that it has to come true or the person is a sham. Things fall thru and last second changes often throw a deal out the window. you can't blame someone for that after all.....

That aside I really hope that we don't end up overpaying to get a top6.
Clowe would be nice but not at the cost of kuli and no way in hell i would want malone on this team, to much of a albatross contractwise.

Well, if he's right we should be hearing about the deal just past 2pm tomorrow. I'm sure this is why Schenn & Kadri are sitting out tonight.

Schenn, Kadri & a 1st for Getzlaf?

I would seriously make that trade.

If it's not the reason then I have a big issue with the decision. Ottawa is not a tough team, and the Leafs need Kadri a heck of a lot more than they need Rosehill.

Neil never fights, and putting one "gritty" player in isn't about to make us a tough team.

You sure? I remember he outed HockeyBreaks for sure, but I didn't think he mentioned bob.

I'm pretty sure he outed bob as well. Like 99.9% sure.

From Elliotte Friedman's 30 thoughts article:

9.    Obviously, there's a lot of talk about Luke Schenn. But hearing that a few teams are watching Toronto AHL defenceman Korbinian Holzer very closely (Anaheim is one). A few guys who see him much more than I do think he's ready for a consistent shot at the NHL. He's defensive-minded (a good penalty killer) and doesn't back down. Could be part of a package for something.

Something to keep in mind.

Sounds like a player the Leafs could use.

I remember the Dallas Dave thing but not sure if it included Bob or not.

Sorry, not sure I understand. Komisarek is scratched tonight, just thought it was funny bob said that even though it was well-speculated it would be him sitting and not Schenn.

Honestly i wouldn't tbh, that seems like one hell of s steep price. It's not like it's only picks after all...there is two solid players, one with a few years exp and one on the rise and what will probably end up a mid round pick. Getz is good but i don't like the idea of gutting our team of prospects just to get one player. Same with thoss old rumors of grabs,kuli,bozak and a couple of prospects for him... those guys produce more together then getz does. but thats probably just me

Ah, never mind.. just dumb, forgot Liles wasn't playing.

Also, was hoping to churn the 'Kadri and Schenn' trade conundrums...

 

[Rebel_1812]

How's about Rick Nash?

Rick Nash would waive no-movement clause if Jackets asked

http://aol.sportingnews.com/nhl/story/2012-01-05/rick-nash-trade-request-no-trade-clause-blue-jackets-scott-howson-scott-arniel

Man.  Despite all the wishing that Nash would one day end up here I just can't begin to understand how the BJ's could trade him away.  They have had zero success with him, but what else do they have to draw fans in without a star level player? 

As for the Leafs, with the emergence of Lupul and Kessel I would say the priority right now is at centre but would never say no to a top-end winger if there are no centres to be had (which doesn't seem to be the case at the moment).

I just think it's funny that Nash is suddenly "open" to moving.  Should have thought of that when you were a free agent dummy.  He could have been a Leaf already.

yeah.  Its not like things were getting any better in columbus.

Whatever happens, I hope Burke has his eye on pieces that will be part of the core 3/4 years from now. Please... No stupid deals in an effort to simply make the playoffs.

I think there's a chance you still might see a bit of that (vets, to help a playoff push), but not at a price anyone here would get up in arms about.  If he moves a 1st, or a decent player, it's going to be for someone Burke thinks he's going to get a few good years out of.

 

[maplesyrup]

Burke confirmed Philly asked for Schenn and Kadri for Mike Richards last summer and he declined, correct?  :-\ In hindsight, I think I'd have done that. Good on both the PP and PK and likes to get physical.

It was Kulemin and Kadri.

I would have done it also.  Richards is a heck of a hockey player.  Real solid 2-ways.  Leader, center, etc.

A lot of people say whoever gets the best player wins the trade and Mike Richards is clearly the best player in the deal (cue nutman!).
