digitalmonkey 929 Posted February 14, 2007 Share Posted February 14, 2007 Gruven?He could very well be on the move. His salary isn't that much of a cap hit. Link to post Share on other sites

digitalmonkey 929 Posted February 14, 2007 Share Posted February 14, 2007 Gruven and serge for Eklund?We'd probably have to give up more than gruven for them to take serge off our hands. Link to post Share on other sites
gruven 530 Posted February 15, 2007 Share Posted February 15, 2007 I've spoken with my agent... I will only waive my no trade if Serge is tied into a giant ball of hockey tape and suspended from the rafters of the Montreal forum to be used as a blue and white pinata....

DanielNegreanu 141 Posted February 15, 2007 Share Posted February 15, 2007 Bobby Ryan to Atlanta for Slave Kozlov and a 1st round pick.... Ok, so there is no truth to that rumor but that would be good for the Cheap Thieves! Link to post Share on other sites
digitalmonkey 929 Posted February 15, 2007 Share Posted February 15, 2007 Very funny...now how about some rumours Gruven???Derien Hatcher to Edmonton.Peter Forsberg to Detroit or San Jose or Nashville or Anaheim.Anson Carter to Vancouver.There ya go. Link to post Share on other sites

runthemover 40 Posted February 15, 2007 Share Posted February 15, 2007 I hear Boston is trying to trade Chara for Adam Foote and two tacos from Jack-In-The-Box Link to post Share on other sites
gruven 530 Posted February 15, 2007 Share Posted February 15, 2007 OOOOOOkay.... It's still at the stage of trying to separate legit trade rumours from the ones planted by agents who want to move their clients. I have heard that Carter to Vancouver has been on the table for almost two months, with the Carter side wanting more than the 'Nucks are willing to offer. I think they're waiting for Vancouver to become truly desparate. I heard today actually, that Toronto has been indicating to teams calling that they're not in the market as either a buyer or a seller (Which, as a personal opinion is the worst thing they could do: nothing). Florida has been offering up anyone but Jokinnen or Bowmeester.... There may be more rumours confirmed in the next couple of days, but so many teams are close in the race that it makes it hard for teams to make a move until they solidify whether or not they're making the playoffs. Also, one last one: Forsberg's ankle problems are so bad, that they have been freezing him to get him out there to play. Most teams are very leery of the Flyers when it comes to hiding medical problems. But the rumour is that his problem is so bad, he may not have any years left in him....

gruven 530 Posted February 15, 2007 Share Posted February 15, 2007 LOL...I'm gonna use this to rattle some cages. I won't name my source...lolI've also heard Gary Roberts to Ottawa. Right... Roberts agent contacted Toronto, but was given the 'We're not interested in making any deals at this point' speech. Roberts kids go to school in toronto, so that would make Ottawa a reasonable second choice.... Link to post Share on other sites
DanielNegreanu 141 Posted February 15, 2007 Share Posted February 15, 2007 Thanks Gruven..great tidbitsI find it really interesting that the Leafs are neither buying nor selling...They are truly in a unique situation..Damned if they do and damned if they dont Not exactly "interesting," just bad. They are in a situation where they don't know their identity and which way they are going, up or down. In the meantime, they are stuck in mediocrity (much like an AHL franchise I can think of) with older players in thier twilight years, and a rather bare future. The reason they do this is MONEY. It's not what's in the best interest of the team long term, but instead, make them look competitive without any realistic shot of winning the cup. Link to post Share on other sites

It's easy: make a decision as to what you want to be: mediocre now, or good down the road, then act either way. ...Actually, while you were posting this thread, Daniel, I was writing the exact same thing in another thread.... it's just true.

serge 904 Posted February 15, 2007 Author Share Posted February 15, 2007 Yeah, they have sooo many players in their twilight years....Yeah SOO many player in their twilight years...like Wellwood,Ponikarovsky,Antropov, Kaberle, Mccabe,Raycroft, Steen, Stajan all in their TWILIGHT years Link to post Share on other sites
digitalmonkey 929 Posted February 15, 2007 Share Posted February 15, 2007 I've read Daniel's post a number of times and I still see no mention of Toronto having a lot of older players.The fact is that Toronto's best players IS in his twilight years. Tucker is not young, especially when you consider the type of game he plays. Jeff O'Neill is aging and has shown it in the last month. The young players that you mention Serge are not going to be gamebreakers.Antropov sucks goats balls. Link to post Share on other sites
Belanger25 3 Posted February 15, 2007 Share Posted February 15, 2007 Gruven,Can you find out if Belanger maybe traded again. ;-D Link to post Share on other sites

DanielNegreanu 141 Posted February 15, 2007 Share Posted February 15, 2007 Yeah SOO many player in their twilight years...Wellwood 23Ponikarovsky 26Antropov 26Kaberle 28Mccabe 31Raycroft 26 Steen 22Stajan 23 Ok, so these guys aren't old, but is this enough of a core to make for a cup contender? You going to lineup Antropov, Steen, and Stajan and win a cup? Dude, they don't have young phenoms on this team. They have mediocre players, and without guys like Sundin, Tucker, and McCabe, the team isn't very good. The biggest problem is that your future core is "bleh" I'll take this core:FleuryWhitneyCrosbyMalkinStaal That's a course that might just end up winning a cup. Link to post Share on other sites
ajs510 122 Posted February 15, 2007 Share Posted February 15, 2007 Doan to Buffalo for Kotalik and Mike Funk was one trade rumor I heard flying around, but I doubt Buffalo would pull the trigger on that. Seems like Doaner is off the market now anyway. Link to post Share on other sites
