Perry suspended for 4 games, perfect time for their GM to sign perry and have talks while he is out and end the drama of him coming here

NHL announces 4 Game suspension for CPerry.

of course it does.

If it doesn't feel like an over-payment then you probably aren't getting Perry. There will be teams lining up to offer ANA mediocre deals for his services.

We are talking about perry .... Sure it sucks 2 give kessel and gards up .... But Cory (frank)ing perry
- The_Vark

Perry instantly makes this team better.

That's also what Carlyle thinks obviously.

What are you going to say when he gets called up in the next few days and Holzer goes down? Will you change your tune? See you in 48 hours HH.

If he doesn't get called up like I expect, I'll apologize.

Would not give up assets for him, sign him in summer or hope ducks sign him to end the drama

Im ok with the trade if it isnt Gardiner. Can we instead slot Blacker in instead? Gardiner feels like an over payment
- Holy_Makinaw99

My other issue is Perry will be 28 soon...Kessel is 25 and Gardiner 23 in july.
Scorers tend to slow down towards 30. I know he bring a lot more, just keep Gardiner and sneak someone else in

A LOT Better!

Yep.

And bigger and mean up front

were you also on the dump Kadri train? that was Full also in the summer

2012 Corsti numbers show Gardiner as playing against higher quality but starting more from the offensive zone. Both by just a little. http://www.hockeyanalytic...yer_Usage_Charts_2012.pdf

Higher than Frason?... ya never said otherwise. He said "oppostions best players" which is laughable. Phaneuf and Gunnarson were the top pairing for most of year, and this shows that pretty clearly.

quoting from the article:

as an offensive defenseman [Gardiner] was protected by coaching from tougher defensive situations

And bigger and mean up front
- The_Vark

Huge hole in the top 6 in this department right now.

He would be the perfect winger for Kadri. Both little weasels (even though Perry is pretty big).

- Mapleleafs_91

And watch him go 2 Boston ?

I'm all for getting him as a ufa but it will be a blood bath outbidding other teams

%age ?
- Big_Lightnin

got it thanks

Are people actually taking this non rumour and from all people Duthie (if I'm reading this right), he is no more an NHL insider than I am. It's crap talk.

absolutely agree...

my "of course it does" was entirely sarcastic because of the poster who said it. He likes his trade ideas to favour the Leafs by a pretty homeriffic amount

- senstroll

Not a prayer. I was so pissed off at Burke signing Connolly, playing Lombardi and trading for Steckel only to keep Kadri in the minors.

Hi. We're on Hockeybuzz.

Yes. From what I understand it was speculation that it may be a deal that made sense more than a rumor.

Higher than Frason?... ya never said otherwise. He said "oppostions best players" which is laughable. Phaneuf and Gunnarson were the top pairing for most of year, and this shows that pretty clearly.

He did play against the opposition's best players but, only in the offensive zone. I've admitted my mistakes.

I'd like to think if we are using Kessel and Gardiner in a package for Perry, couldn't we get a 1C for that or a touch more? Shift Grabo to the wing.

JVR-1C-Grabo
Lupul-Kadri-Frattin
Macart-Bozak-Kulimen
Komarov-Mcclement-Orr/Mclaren

?
