yup Garth. Look at the history of Nabokov and the Isles and try to decipher it all..

*Garth picks him up when the guy clearly wants nothing to do with the Isle.
*Nabokov refuses to show up which sends a terrible message to the players
*He finally does show up and then plays pretty well
*Garth despite having several goalies tells everyone he is NOT trading Nabokov "NO WAY IN HELL" and wants to extend him suddenly (despite the fact that less than a year ago he basically said the franchise is useless)
*Now we are hearing Nabokov can be had IF he isn't extended, BUT bidding starts at a first round pick...

yet you can read lou lams? something seems fishy here
- dmarsden2988

no. but at least he doesn't purposely try to play everyone

Dustin Brown is a great competitor, but on a good team, hs's a 3rd line RW. Not a top 6. To say he deserves better, is crap. It's a business, you have to do whatever possible to win cups. That being said, id movs Kopitar as well. He plays scared hockey and shouldn't have an A on his chest. He hasnt played tough hockey or used his size to hiz advantage in over two years. He constantly gets rocked because he plays too soft. Id trade Kopitar before Brown, and put brown on 3rd line RW behind williams and carter. That being said, I'd love to keep Kopitarif he can figure it out. I wouldnt trade Bernier or Quick until next year. DL has no safety net because quick AND berniers contracts expire next year. Quick will have more value because Bernier is technicallyunproven at the NHL Level.

This is so accurate I'd swear we were twins..

Leafs should trade Schenn and Kulemin for Brown. I keep thinking that Burke HAS to make some kind of move since the team is playing so horrible lately, but I cant think of any trade that he can pull off that another team wont pull off first. Are there any other guys out there that are available that might not be getting talked about???

I thought Harry Potter was a horror movie... it was pretty horrorible.

I'll be here all week.

that made me laugh

Hey Ek, any clue on the price of Brown?
- clarkysduster

Top six foward and a d-man...

It was just one post.

Say something that has a purpose, your post that got deleted was garbage.

Guilty.

TRADE JOKINEN!!!!

Seriously though, to NYR, for someone sweet or a 1st.

- dmarsden2988

how about Gomez...he is a sweetheart.

malone, clark, hall, MAB, gilroy, gervais, roloson, 4 2nd rounders.
- boltsfan48

no offense but those players just aren't that much to write home about (esepecially Hall's 1 goal and 2 assists), the picks are nice but I would think LA is in win now mode.

not yet...but getting closer to finding it out

Kopitar is not a Dustin Brown type player.

So what you're pretty much saying is you'd rather have a guy who hits as opposed to a guy that puts up points.

No thanks.

This is exactly why I dont want to see him on the Kings he thinks he has more skill than he really does (shoots into skates, misses shots, tries to deke around dmen....) Fails most of the time (watch him next Kings national broadcast). I have no doubt if he goes to another team he will put up 40-50 points, but I would like to trade the guy for someone who actually knows how to shoot the puck and put it in the net

Sniper over grinder any day right now for LA
- USA_Parise9

On most teams, then maybe. On the Kings, he's tied for second in goals and 3rd in points. He's top 6 to us, and would need to be replaced with top 6. It is what it is.

sure glad you don't delete any of my posts

Meh...if it doesn't directly attack the blogger and isn't just a pointless post that's just looking for attention...then I'll leave it.

- steven3266

I stopped reading that after the first sentence....now way Burke would overpay that much!
Brown is awesome, but when Kulemin is on his game, how much of an upgrade is Brown? We can't give up on him after one bad year, considering every year he's been a leafs he's gotten better (except this year)
Plus adding Schenn? No Thanks.

no. but at least he doesn't purposely try to play everyone

how do you know who the devils are after when the only person in the devils org that knows is Lou? and lou is very very very tight lipped and never lets anything slip

ohh, that Garth, and we all thought you were talking about the Leaf hating Sabres blogger. or maybe it was only me

back to the phones. try not to wreck the place while I'm gone.......please....

I can see a Brown, Penner for Schenn, Grabovski trade...

EK,

After Feasters rant last night do you ACTUALLY think things in Calgary might change all of a sudden?

Should we look for pending UFA's to move? Sarich, Hannan and most importantly Jokinen?

Meh...if it doesn't directly attack the blogger and isn't just a pointless post that's just looking for attention...then I'll leave it.

wait, i'm pretty sure all my posts are pointless
