Look at the team that played in front of Kipper, no wonder.

I guess but maybe I just like the idea because I don't believe in Scrivens at all.. Guess we will see what pans out but for cheap I'd be happy with him and goalies play til a older age usually and if we were to get him hopefully it would only be for a couple seasons.

I don't believe this team needs to pay picks/prospects/youth to go for it now. We waited this long, it's finally happening, because we've stuck with our picks and youth. Now we're going to start ignorantly thinking we're the Pens, Canucks, and Bruins and that we need veterans to win now?

Down Goes Brown:

Leafs about to lose a trade with the Calgary Flames. Nothing in this world makes sense anymore.

Haha looks like it

Well Kipper & Reimer could split the duties. If Kipper sucks than just play Reimer. Not like Kipper would be our only reliable NHL goalie. We got Reimer too.
- GCHonda

Great. So we lose whatever it takes to get Kipper, plus we throw away Scrivens all for an experiment to see if a 36 year old with a massive cap hit can find his game again.

And how long does a goalie with Reimer's ability hang around to warm the bench, anyway?

High quality combat light sabers?

Why would the Coyotes deal Michalek who is paired with OEL and plays top-4 minutes, plus their first which is currently a top-5 pick for

Colborne a 23 year old prospect who has had one PPG month this whole year in the AHL and has been riddled with inconsistencies, Scott a 24 year old barely in the AHL and a 3rd?

duh, because it helps the Leafs immensely

Even though it's arron ward I have a sinking feeling that Kipper could be on the move and Nonis is a lot more interested in Kip than Lu.

That would be such a relief, Lu is suicide

As per @aaronward_nhl the Leafs have permission to speak with Kiprusoff. No trade in place, but process moves forward.#tradecentre

Good thing you're not a chick. Being this late, you'd have reason to be worried.

For the love of all that is holy, I hope the conversation is going something like this:

"Hey, how would you like to be our goaltending coach after you retire this year?"

April trolled day, female dog.

My bad forgot two put my grade 2 pants on today to expect April Fool's jokes at 7:30 pm and then have the person so happy he got me....

I'm still trying to get my head around a 100pt Kessel.

He's only 36, and is used to playing 70+ games a season, it's not like he's damaged goods

My goodness is that a poop deal. Just let the (frank)ing roster play out the playoffs they've earned for christs sake..

Pretty rare for anyone to get 100 pts nowadays

Thats exactly what he is.

Not necessarily disagreeing with you.

Just saying, that all signs point towards Nonis pushing for a vet. 'tender.

Sad too, cuz Benny has been really good for us

- AngryWhiteMale

He was also injured this year, has a cap hit that ranks among the top of all NHL goalies, and is sporting a sv% that makes Gustavsson look like a Vezina candidate.

ZING!!!!

This rumour has me grumpy. I feel like its a ban kinda night.

boooooo to kipper. stick with reimer and scrivens. 36 games in, and still a .919 spct between them.

No my hockey IQ

Thats a good point. How would Kipper cope with 40 games per season rather than 70? My guess is he'd be much improved.
