Price's arbitration doesn't mean there has been difficulty negotiating with him, the only reason they elected for it is to prevent a team from giving him an offer sheet. Teams do this all the time.

I can't even imagine where the Habs would be without Price. Wow.

Schultz is not under contract with the leafs. He has no leverage in the deal. Gardiner + #5 for #1 is the deal

Throw in a few ounces of what you're smoking and you have a deal

PS ... Reading really is over rated

I said "IF" Schultz really does go ....

Howson said today if Nash isn't gone by mid-July he's likely still a Blue Jacket in 2013

It's possible he might get the deal he wants when Parise signs.

Stop drinking the kool-aid, my friend. This time of year - well, anytime really - but especially this time of year, any sentence that starts with "Burke said......Howson said......insert GM said....." can only be taken with a grain of salt.

Any quote, direct or not, is a smoke-screen and has a purpose. GMs are not dumb, save for JFJ, and everything they say is deliberate and meant to better their position.

Well since the Leafs dish out millions of actual dollars sharing revenue, that seems fair!!

- S Kaspar Rollins


Arbitration never plays out well this is why I see him on his way out of MTL.

You were trying to make a joke out of a guy who decapitates human throats Nd tapes it. It was sick and low.

And sorry, i know a friend who got stabbed and died, idgaff if its just a name. It was a low attempt at humor.

- FLYERSROCK!

Not that I really care what the guy said, because you Im sure are not the best child in the world either.

I think the only person who has a problem is you. And you are making it a bigger deal than what it really is. If you dont like it. You can simply click the X in the top corner of your internet page.

Oh I completely agree, I very rarely take a GM's word at face value. However, that does seem believable enough, even if it is for leverage.

Put it this way, I wouldn't put it past them to actually do that, maybe as a way to force Nash to expand his list.

You can't add value to our side just because of the possibility that Shultz will sign with Edmonton based on a guy we trade them

So to summarize this nugget of brilliance:

People are free to do/say as they please because everyone else is welcome to (frank) off.

Natch.

The day before the draft, draft day & Free Agency..... throw the Leafs in at any costs to cause a frenzy. Not saying it won't happen but I am sure a lot of teams are inquiring about moving up. Isn't that their jobs as a GM?

And stop with the Leafs fan bashing, yes we have some nut jobs but so does every team..... ie. Gagner for Carolina's 8th overall pick this year.

Can everyone stop the soap opera, hug it out and go back to talking about how the leafs are trying to acquire the entire western conference?

I never said that the assumption would add to a trade ...

What I said was that if it WAS true ...

I'd rather have the two defensemen and the 5th !
