True . Anyways I will be glad when he is gone and get this BS out of the way.

So when did Lu's contract become any more desirable for another team?

If Jensen makes the team does that make Booth or Higgins expendable?
- VANTEL

with the amount of games Booth has played in the past few years, the only place he's expendable to is Siberia

When did lu become tradeable?
- hugefemale dog77

I guess soon as Oilers open their eyes and realize Yak and Hall can't play nets and their current goalie is useless.

Some team wanting Booths contract is about as likely as a team wanting JMLs contract, not happening right now.

What the (frank) does that have to do with being tradable?
- LeftCoaster

Management has already said they're not buying him out...so...whats left to do.....? oh right TRADE him...and for that to happen he has to become TRADEABLE

No way Lu is here at the start of the 2014-15 season . You can't keep a mistake at 5.3 M for another 7 years.

Except for a healthy booth is a contributing player. Liles is awful

Lots of people keep their mistakes no matter how useless they are. Iggysbff is still here, isn't he?

right, because they have so many options when it comes to that situation right now...they have said they're not buying him out......so.....again......i ask.....what other options are there? no other team is willing to take on a goaltender signed until he's in his early 40's for that cap hit

best comment of the day so far

It would probably help DD if Hall, Yaks and Co actually tried or cared when the other team has the puck

Liles wasnt awful when he was an avalanche...in fact...back then i had hoped the canucks could some how get him...but since being in a losing atmosphere for so long...he has just stunk it might be too late to deprogram the losing ways outta that guy

He's always been awful in his own end. Now that his offense is going down hill its pretty noticable

They said they are not buying him out this year. They never mentioned next year.

Booth hasn't had a good year since 2008. But sure.

His best year since then is either 23g 17a 40pts -31

Or 16g 14a 30pts -5

Yeah real productive for 4.25 mill.

Nobody will take that contract, at least a guy like Hemsky has some chance of rebounding.

And how many times has he been healthy all yr? As I said a healthy booth can help. But hey you were to dumb to read the 1st post correctly, why would this one be any different.

Bure wanted out of Vancouver because he was mis-treated by management from day one.

He also requested a trade privately the season before he sat out.

I still don't agree with how he handled it, but I can understand why he was frustrated.

He did a lot for hockey in Vancouver—time to let it all go and celebrate the player.

That production's actually not far off what $4ish million buys in FA these days...

Agreed

Our backup is once again better than the Leafs primary goaltending
