Have you not learned anything from reading the TO boards? We're (frank)ing cut-throat mofo's.

Well, we're a long way from the Toskala/Gerber days...

TAKE YOUR COMMON SENSE AND LEAVE!!!!!

Saying that I'm the one with common sense doesn't reflect well on the rest of you lol

So does this mean the Leafs will sign Clarkson? Lol.
- MCharisma91

Fingers crossed.

Don't care. Luongo to the leafs is officially dead.

Scratch the leafs as a potential trading partner off your list
- Dozzer

This is why Ek hasn't posted yet. He had to delete his Luongo to Toronto e4.

Start more than 40 games in a full season?

Nice trade...

Trade James now for a need And get a vet back up

You can be sure Mike Gillis is thankful to Nonis for setting the market for goaltenders going into the draft. If an unproven, unsigned goaltender is worth what the leafs paid, you can imagine what Gillis now thinks he should get for Luongo.
- alcatrazhockey

That makes no sense. Luongo is on a ten year, massive contract. They will be lucky to give him away. The Leafs trade has nothing to do with it.


Lets be clear: This is one of the best trades in Leafs history and an absolutey insane steal on par with the Phaneuf hiesting. This is the day we became cup contenders.

Don Cherry must be fuming right now. He loves Reimer and this will eat him alive.

No way... roll with the young tandem, let them fight each other for number one. No need to trade a goalie when the combined cost will likely be less than $5m for them both.

complete proof that Vancouver completely effed up the luongo trade

This trade pretty much guarantees Luongo will be bought out.. but I'm hearing that Tampa and Florida are in the drivers seat here. Don't rule out the Islanders.

Goaltending wasn't the issue last year, horrid defense was so this trade makes little sense. Had it been made during the years of Toskala and Raycroft, obviously I'd be fine with that but when you have a goalie putting up a 920 save % with awful defense...... what's the point?

The only thing I don't like about Reimer's game is how prone he is to injury and his rebound control but was that enough to give up on him? I'm not so sure.

I honestly doubt Bernier could put up better numbers with the defense Reimer had to contend with last year. Guy faced the most point blank shots in the league.

- Dozzer

using your best common sense...

does anyone happen to know the rules around trading an unsigned RFA... in other words, can the Leafs still turn-around and deal Bernier before he's signed? (I think so)...

or is Nonis waiting on the offer sheet from Philly.... what do you get for a 3.5M dollar a year goal-tender?

You again....

Hello darkness my old friend, I've come to talk with you again.

That was a joke,......
- 50 Mission Cap

so was that.......

Nice trade IMO

Yep we really didnt give up much. Saved or first and Gardiner which were rumoured asking pieces

- lumlums

You still have to sign Bernier and he will want a contract like Rask/Schneider got which is 4M/year. How do you think that will make JR feel who is on a 1.8M deal?

Reimer and Gunnar for Dipietro (or however the depressed emotional Italian spells it) and Strome.

This is why Ek hasn't posted yet. He had to delete his Luongo to Toronto e4.

Haaaaaaaaaa

I tend to stick up for EK but his 25 pre written Lou to Toronto blogs are all no good. Well less good than before. He may still post them.

Nope. Too distracting. Riemer is traded at the draft. J5.

Again, this trade is amazing. 100% steal.

Having A goalie contervercy is never good ..., and the toronto media will go crazy
