Hey Mike u think Burke will trade Gardiner in a package for a top line center???

Liles deserves that contract. Also have to like that he took the discount for the term and home team.

Can't picture anything going on prior to the All Star game. I picture the Leafs saving their trade news for after the weekend.

Anyone think the Leafs put a claim in for Nittymaki?

Not the worst idea. Get rid of reimer's contract after this year.... if you dont think he's the real deal. I dont think u give up on him this early

What would you be expecting in return? Not much, I expect.

not much is right

I don't know why we have to dump on Reimer, after dealing with a concussion. Look how long Ryan Miller has been fighting the puck, after his concussion. I can see a bounceback for Reimer, after this year. He just needs to get back to what got him here, playing the angles and getting out on the shooters. Right now, he's sitting too far back in the net and he's getting beaten in close. Almost identical to Ryan Miller.

On the Liles deal, I think Burke did the right thing and now it's wide open, to see a couple of defencemen traded, before the trade deadline. I'm still convinced that it's going to be Luke Schenn to Philadelphia for JVR. The only thing holding up this trade, is his concussion. Once he's clear to play, I can see this happening.

i'm not dumping on him... he's not worth much because he has not proven enough at the nhl level and the only reason where talking about trading him was to move the contract if we claimed what's his nuts off waivers

NHLPA has filed a grievance on this signing arguing that the Leafs took adantage of a concussed player. They are using Liles statement that Toronto is the entre of the hockey universe and that he would have gone through a wall to play for Burke as evidence that he was out of his mind.

Wrong San Jose goalie from finland, pass!!!
Reimer just needs to find his mojo, and the monster is playing good enough right now, Besides if we trade Reimer he'll defiantly be the real deal and burn us for years to come.

Even if they do someone higher up the order will have put in a claim anyway so we wouldn't get him.
