YES Nonis....do it!!!! But would San Jose? I'm not so sure.

At the very worst it'd be a different player of the same calibre, an ashton or a percy etc. + maybe a 2nd, but it should do it....
Kulemin would be a decent fit for them.

Rumblings are what you get when you have the Gas Station Sushi.

Aren't rumblings & rumours when you cut it down to size, the same thing? Look at em both in a sentence:

There are rumblings that the Leafs are interested in Ryan Clowe.
There are rumours that the Leafs are interested in Ryan Clowe.

Neither mean that a deal is imminent. They mean the same thing me thinks.
- GCHonda

Yes, they mean the same thing. The point I was trying to make was that either way it isn't going to happen. Eklund can call it what he wants.

I'd love the Leafs to get Clowe but Kule is 4 years younger, so FUK the Leafs giving up 2 players for Clowe, should the other way around. I never realized b4 that Kule is 4 years younger. Nix the Kulemin/Colborne for Clowe deal. Should be Kule for Clowe & something else.

I agree 100%. They both mean squat as far as trades being close to reality.

Even less so because it's Eklund's opinion.

ZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Why on earth would the Sharks want Colborne..He cant even play for the Leafs now and he's slow...Kulemin disappears like a magic trick for games on end..We have enough of those type of players already..

Flyers trading Talbot to Penguins

Even more laughable is that Philly fans think they are getting Despres, Maata, Pouliet with picks.

If they think that, those people are the dumbest hockey fans in the world. I'd give a fourth round pick for Talbot. That is it.

That would be like me asking for Wayne Simmonds for TK.

I don't know any Philly fan that thinks they're getting any of them, let alone any Philly fan that wants any of them..

Nobody in Philly has so much as mentioned Depres or any of the other said players.

Flyers are going more toward veteran d-man route. Latest rumor has JBO to Philly for Read + pick/prospect. Even a little chatter of bigger deal involving Iginla also, although I find that highly doubtful.

Its funny how the team he built is actually winning now. Unloading Schenn for JVR? Brilliant.
- theblueandgold

Yeah, Schenn, one of of the leading (or the leader) hitters in the NHL, a plus player on a bad defensive corps, on a struggling team, and 22 years old.

How horrible. Great "unload".

Let's give it some more time before we judge, after all, Toronto has JVR for the next 6 years, and consistency and staying healthy were his 2 problems in Philly.

And L Schenn makes less $...for now.

1.75m a season for a third line winger is not a bad contract at all
- DDM-Coga

We are spoiled having Cooke and Dupuis for $1.8M and $1.5M respectively. Talbot, if he was to re-sign with Pittsburgh, wouldn't get more than $1M from us.

Anyway, I'd take him for a cup run if the price was right. We could always trade him again if he fails to impress.

Truth is JVR is the superior player and this trade doesn't look as good as it was supposed to. But, as you said, let's wait and see.

Despres is already a better player than L.Schenn. What are you talking about?

In the AHL.

Edit: mistype.

They're a year apart. Not exactly a veteran to rookie comparison. Again, "better' is fairly subjective, and dependent upon the team one plays for.

Quantify that. Better how, exactly?

And does better this year mean better for the next 6 years?

JVR is good, but so is L Schenn.

- wolfhounds

Forget. I don't expect you to understand what I'm saying. You have to watch Despres play to see for yourself.
