NHL Transactions, Injuries & Rumours

[Arian The Insider]

As much as Dion carries the defense I simply don't think he's a true #1 D-man. He's really not close to the offensive player he used to be. We need to add another top pairing guy that can log high minutes as well.

Id love for the leafs to trade for elder

Bieska for me

I don't see Vancouver trading him

[Arian The Insider]

Let me rephrase that, I meant he's not a true franchise guy so we need someone who is a similar caliber as him to log minutes as well

i wonder if Nonis will target any big named UFA dman this summer.

[The BBKL Insider]

Orpik and Matt Greene would top my target/wish list.

Matt niskanen would also be a good target, could replace franshit.

[Arian The Insider]

I have no idea who is available but with the cap going up and i think Franson is a free agent you'd have to think he will.

God damn our defense stinks. Honestly think we need to add 2 top 4 guys.

[Mike]

Franson = RFA

[Arian The Insider]

I may be alone on this but I think we should move Gardiner. I like him but he is an offensive guy like Rielly and Rielly is younger + has much more room for improvement IMO. Would be interesting to see if we can package him for a guy and then sign another.

the list isn't super great, but there are some quality guys on it.

Franson can't be back next year (if nonis has any kind of hockey knowlegdge anyways). He can be replaced by Gardiner and Rielly.

Locks for next year include:
Dion
Rielly
Gunnar

Gardiner has been great, but could be traded. Franson sucks and should be traded for dog shit. No one really cares about Gleason.

Ideally we need Orpik. A big min, bone crushing dman. We also need to sign a few depth guys who can actually play D.

Vancouver will make the playoffs and not rebuild.

We need to look at giordano

you watch CGY games, he is 100% untoucable.

He'd cost us so much it would make your mom's ass hurt.

[Arian The Insider]

Giordano is a beast, I'd love to have him here but ya he would cost a lot. Would probably get to meet him too as he is cousins with my uncle's wife.

[kimmer]

Home town discount my friends...

No joke but i know gios cousin frank... He is our client for the xray company i work for on Jane and finch (he grew up there and his whole family still there)
Theyre coming soon too right? (cgy vs tor) mebe nonis has tricks up his sleeves to talk him into it

[Arian The Insider]

That's true, Kim is a legit source I can confirm this.

it's amazing how fast evaluation of Leafs players changes during the season... depending on which streaks is on (winning or losing) some players go from beasts to utter shit in a matter of weeks

[kimmer]

Mik whats ur nhl team again, i keep forgetting

[kyuss]

there isn't a real one in hockey, that must be the reason

saying 'your favourite team in hockey' for you is like saying 'my favourite team in soccer' for me, if that helps explaining it
