Beauchemin.


Except Beauchemin was rumored to be going to San Jose for Setoguchi, but then Burke ended up trading him to Anaheim.

- Dozzer

Actually, it was rumoured that Philly was interested in him lol

Exactly ....and since everyone assumes Burke is in on Luongo he's gotta do something different ...like trade for Rinne or Lundquist.

Surprise!

Or with our luck, pull Tugnutt outta retirement.

To keep the value low on Lu.

If he seems interested, the value goes up. If he seems he is leaning to a 2 year rental, the asking price of Lu goes down.

That's only true if there's a market. Is there a market?

That's about it when it comes to trades though.

Wanna be a wise ass, eh? I warned for one week that this was going to come down if this kindergarten crap was going to continue.

I'm here to keep the boards civil, if you have a problem with that, contact support to complain, I don't need to feel important, all I want and what the owners want is people to talk hockey respectfully.

People talk about burke in the media a lot.

I always figured it was the cameras and phone interviews coming to him, not the other way around?

Just want to say, I knew this is the reaction UG would get when he created this alt account, and posted that comment.

oh ya ... they are approaching him ... just wish he could be a little more tight lipped ... but really that is not his personality .. so I just accept it and move on .. just would like less ammo for the haters is all ... specially where I live it is nuts .. since Burke was the GM here also ..

There is always a market.
- IRON.MAIDEN

Brian McCabe. The market was Florida b/c he held a NMC and big contract and all the cards.

Luongo might be similar ...he's certainly in control.

Not rocket science -- they need to get rid of a goalie and it is more likely to be LU. We need a goalie and if Burke can stomach the contract and the price is right, he'll do it. The price has to be very right, though.

I would guess that Frankie Allaire is pitching hard to bring him in.
