BREAKING: #Flames acquire David Jones and Shane O'Brien from #Avalanche in exchange for Alex Tanguay and Cory Sarich.
- Nucker101

Would have been interesting if O'Brien got traded to the Rangers.

I will give you the Readers Digest version.

Leafs in on Letang ,Vinny ,Richards ,Tanev Every UFA and Every RFA.

Burke and Nonis best GM in history of game , Gillis worse ever.


Ek predicts trades, they sign with the home clubs later that day.

You are now caught up.

Flames trade Tanguay and Sarich to Avalanche for Jones and O'Brien ... with stats


avid Pagnotta‏@TheFourthPeriod8m
Just re-read my last tweet. Meant Sarich was "almost" traded at the deadline... CGY's not done though, feeling is Cammy's as good as gone

That has nothing to do with Toronto so it is not considered news

Avs got the best player, but Tanguay will be 36 when his deal is up. Can't believe Jones makes 4 million. Just 4 players/contracts that no GM would actually want.

I wonder where Cammy ends up, that guy is a clutch in the playoffs.

And that every guy coming to the Leafs has always dreamed of playing in Toronto, and is willing to sign for less money.

I was reading your post above, and when I read "Cammy's as good as..." I really wondered what your next word was going to be.

Everything has to do with Toronto, even seemingly non-relevant things.

Well Torts is a pretty big Luongo fan. Maybe Cory gets moved.

I've said since day #1 the canucks will deal Schneider before a luongo buyout.

Letang is so overrated. He's a second pairing d-man on most other teams. Penguins defense is awful.
- hankthetank

I'm not saying he is 2nd pairing, but I bet there are 50 d men in the league that could chalk up 65 points a season when they were playing with that team.
Karlsson would get 90-100

Not necessarily... But we're paying Eriksson $925K so I wouldn't be surprised if he was the backup with Lack putting in a full year in Utica or wherever the (frank).
- DrChristianTroy

Lack is on a one way contract at 900k I think this yr

Looks like Lack's $850K no matter where he plays.

Eriksson's $70K in Utica or $925K on the Canucks.

Guess that gives Lack the inside track. Although if money's no object, I figured they'd want Lack to play a bunch after missing most of last season.

Yeah both make a small enough amount that there is no cap hit. I think the job is Lack's to lose. The organization is more familier with him.

Any chance Gillis grabs Tambo's baby boy in the draft?

Adam Tambellini - 6'3" 178 pounds headed to North Dakota

Ranked 62nd amongst North American skaters in Central Scouting's mid-term rankings, Tambellini was ranked 42nd in the final rankings prior to the 2013 NHL Draft.

- Bieksa#3


When it comes to the backup goaltender position, I don't think it has anything to do with familiarity or loyalty... They'd save money having Lack with the Canucks (both real $ & cap $) but they might want him to go to Utica and see the bulk of game action after missing so much time last season.

Are you trading Edler and our first to Carolina for the #5? Also, are you suggesting that Booth would be on LTIR to start the season? I believe his agent said that he'll be ready for training camp.

I believe Jeff Gillooly is out of jail and looking for work.

Maaan fu** Lu. Cause he couldn't keep his mouth shut after last years playoffs, Gillis has to trade him. He acted like a little bit*h after Cory got "his" start, and probably asked for a trade.

THAT is why trading Cory is not a option.
