Guest Report post Posted June 20, 2007 They think they're well enough off with their prospect pool that they don't need to add another young player, and I agree with them. They have a shitload of young players coming in. Trade it for a NHL ready forward and move on. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Red Baron 0 Report post Posted June 20, 2007 Since its not a deep pool, I can see them trading it away for a good player out there. Hell try and swing it with Buffalo and grab Briere or something. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
the max 0 Report post Posted June 21, 2007 Kane or Turris. Both would work in Chicago, but I'd think that Czech would be tired of them picking high in the draft. Why not get rid of the pick, acquire a proven talent and start working their way back to respectability. Turris won't be around for at least two years (he's committed to Wisconsin) and Kane likely won't be ready for at least a year (he NEEDS to put on weight...5'10" 162 lbs...he'd be dead by November.) So it's one of those two or a proven player. I'd rather take the proven player. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Red Baron 0 Report post Posted June 21, 2007 I don't like the shoulder patch. Looks like Shannahan is staying with the Rangers. Robert Lang is not coming back to Detroit, and Nathan Horton signed a six year deal worth 22 mil with the Panthers. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AntiLeaf33 0 Report post Posted June 21, 2007 I don't really mind any of that Bruins stuff. They aren't changing it completely, and besides, they have changed their unis up a few times over the last few years anyway. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
the max 0 Report post Posted June 21, 2007 Great new logos for the Bruins. The main one, the spoked B barely changed. They basically took the 1932-33 logo and put it on the spokes. Looks great, and a nice nod to the past. The shoulder patch is interesting in that they basically took the 1924-25 crest and modernized it. I was a bit put-off by the rather large bit of black at the end of the sleeves, but the gloves will cover most of that anyway. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Robert Lang is not coming back to Detroit, and Nathan Horton signed a six year deal worth 22 mil with the Panthers. The Horton deal is awesome. He's going to be a star, locking him down for around 4 million a year will be a bargain. Smart move by the Panthers. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

No word on what Chicago gets back, but if it's anything more than rusty skate blades and used jockstraps, they can consider themselves winners. And since it wouldn't be a post of mine if the Bruins weren't mentioned...rumors are swirling around regarding Manny Fernandez being traded to Boston. And Luc Bourdon as well.

Guest Report post Posted June 22, 2007 Eric Duhatschek says that we are preparing a monster offer for Briere. Someone else said that we're looking at Gerber and Redden too. What the fuck is it with us and below average goaltenders. Jesus. Can we ever have a decent guy to stop the fucking puck. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JustJoe2k5 0 Report post Posted June 22, 2007 Should be a fun day. Rumors have already started to fly: Manny Fernandez to Boston. Ilya Bryzgalov to either Florida or Tampa Bay. A goalie to the St. Louis Blues. Looks like the two teams that have shown the most interest in Angelo Esposito are Carolina and Montreal. With each team at #11 and #12 respectively, we could potentially see a trade up battle to see who can end up in position to draft him. Another rumor around Carolina is that we may move one of our defensive defenseman for an offensive defenseman. Mike Commodore's name is the one that has been brought up the most.

AntiLeaf33 0 Report post Posted June 22, 2007 Angelo Esposito would be a hell of a pick up for the Habs. I saw him play a few games in St. John's last year and he scored the nicest goal I've ever seen live, against my hometown Fog Devils. As for the rest of the moves listed above, they sound decent. If St. Louis is looking for a decent goalie to challenge for the started job, then they should have a look at Aebi when he becomes a free agent on July 1. I really don't think you can hold his Montreal days against him, as that town is brutal on goalies anyway. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

treble 0 Report post Posted June 22, 2007 I'm not usually a big fan of trading draft picks (especially now, with the salary cap), but I do like this trade. I wish they had made it last year, though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
World's Worst Man 0 Report post Posted June 22, 2007 Bell is a former 20 goal scorer who had an off-year last season, so he's not a bad pickup either. I think after this trade, the Leafs will have around $6.5 million left before hitting the salary cap, so there's enough for a big time UFA signing. If they pawn McCabe off on some sucker, that'll be another 5.75 million minus the salaries of whoever they get back. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Report post Posted June 22, 2007 Yeah, we have two first round picks next year that we could have sent them, or our first for next year and a ton of 2nd round picks. FUCKING BULLSHIT If we use this draft pick, I'm forcing myself to take a hiatus from this thread until after July 8th, after which the Kings will have signed no free agents a week into the signing period and I'll be cooled off from the anger of watching Briere, and Drury among many others not coming here. I'm in a shitty mood. I hear that Kubina and McCabe are on the market. That will make my fucking day if we trade for them. "Make my day" meaning that I'll sob into my pillow.
