Eklund: Something Brewin in Toronto...
- Eklund


i would not be surprised if the next big move came out of the NHL!!

although it might just be simply because the leafs have been losing and could use a change on D

I guess Chicago is left out of the NHL rebuilding stereotype???? **Gets popcorn***
- saskoil21

Good mention, however, I wouldn't say it's like the Edmonton situation... Chicago, more than anything, was just the beneficiary of essentially two great draft picks-ups in Kane and Toews.

My main argument is that had this happened to any team, I'd feel the same way. I have no hate on for anything Oilers related. I just don't like when it *appears* that the NHL probably had a hand in giving them those picks in order to rectify the franchise. Assuming you can keep those picks, you'll be almost exactly like Pittsburgh now, having 3 supestars and a group of other solid draftees. Especially if Dubnyk rounds into a solid starter, you'll be laughing.

Grabo has a bad contract...we would be doing you a favour for taking that. Toss in Gardiner and YAAAA HOOOO, we start the rebuild and you make the playoffs.

Looking at Kippers numbers this year, and his contract and age, sorry there is zero chance you get anything of great value.

You guys get a 2nd line center signed for 4 more years. The Leafs get a guy that may help make the playoffs.

Remember when Calgary gave Stajan his contract.

Philly will be fine, but this year they probly have to take a step back. Losing IMO the best d man in the league would set any team back.

You're right, I think a step back will obviously do the Flyers better long-term.

Its gonna cost more than that. Your trading for a guy with high end career numbers and experience. It's probly gonna take grabs, a 2nd rounder and maybe some midling prospect.

That's a heck of a lot less than Grabs and Gardiner.

I could see Gardiner in a package for Bernier, he may be unproven but his age and numbers this year make him a more attractive option.

Gardner is not getting traded this year, there's zero chance of that happening.

Don't see it either. There's no one to really even warrant trading him.

Fair enough, but every team knows to get you have to give.
To say they have nothing was dumb.
I did also say that it does depend on what they are willing to make available of course. that part was ignored in the reply to my alleged trolling

The Kipper to TO rumor was Kipper for Reimer or Scrivens and a 1st.

That's what i read anyways

Wow, really? Kipper is still a sick goalie, but his age is the only detriment. Don't think the Leafs should do that theoretical deal.. Who'd play backup? Rynnas?

I don't think so either. But for the right return you never know.

I think it goes without saying that most GM's would be asking about Gardiner, so depending on who the Leafs are asking about, you just don't know

Lets just say it better be Reimer

Either way...I dont think that's enough for the Flames. What about Bozak and First?

It says one or the other, not both goalies.
