Will they alternate untill Lou is traded? Or if Schnider does well, is he the guy again?
- Jimmy_wiener

I don't think there will be "the guy" as long as they remain a tandem. It's a shortened season, work a pre-scheduled rotation, start Schneider in the playoffs. If something spectacular happens (ie really bad) then change the strategy but I'd stick with a regular rotation. My 2 cents

Gillis has already stated that he won't accept that, I wish you Toronto fans would.
- LeftCoaster

Toronto are eyeing Bryzgalov,they are waiting for the flyers to buy him out so they can offer him a Phaneuf like contract.

I heard Jeff Finger is returning too.

Would You Take Back DiPietro if it meant getting Niederreiter?
- Jimmy_wiener

No

Schroeder between Raymond and Weise at practice.

AV is a moron, setting up another young player for failure.
- Scooby_Doo

No, I meant if NHLers are going to the Olympics next year there will be no all star game.

Olympics are a year away. I guess it's time to start the campains for Hamhuis and Burrows. Get the Leafs and Oilers fans really riled up.

My bad.

Luongo, Raymond + Ballard for Okposo, Bailey, Visnovsky + Nino.

I Agree, even being a Leafs fan, you can see that if they both started playing well and you get your injured players back, that would be a hell of a Duo in goal.

Eklund Updates that the Leafs are the only real team in on Lou, IF True, does Van need a goalie back in the deal or is Eddie Lack ready?

That was a hoax by the way... perpetrated by his friend.

Because Ek has been 100 % bang on with everything he says I would have to say we want Scrivens too .This way we can have two all star goalies in our fold.

Nino Niederreiter wants trade

NEW YORK -- Nino Niederreiter's camp has requested a trade from the New York Islanders, a source told ESPNNewYork.com.

The former first-round pick (5th overall, 2010) is unhappy with his current situation, the source said, and feels he would be best served playing somewhere other than with the Islanders organization.

The 20-year-old Swiss winger, who spent more than half the season with the big club last season, was not even invited to the team's training camp despite leading the team's AHL affiliate in scoring. Niederreiter has 19 goals and 17 assists in 36 games for the Bridgeport Sound Tigers.

His agent informed Islanders general manager Garth Snow of the request last week, the source said, although Snow is not believed to be amenable to doing a deal -- at least at the moment.

There has been growing concern about Niederreiter's development since last season. Although the young prospect appeared in 55 games for the Islanders, he was used in a limited role. He managed only one goal, causing many to feel he'd be better off playing in Bridgeport and to speculate that the team could be keeping him around for cap purposes (i.e. his entry-level contract bonuses helped the team hover slightly above the cap floor).

During the lockout, Niederreiter began the year in Bridgeport and has flourished, leaving him and his camp baffled as to why he didn't get a chance to crack the roster.

I think about 40 guys could say that...

Never use If and True in the same sentence when talking about EK. It's ok Rookie you will learn
