Smashian Kassian Posted December 15, 2012 Share Posted December 15, 2012 No. No. How many ways can a person say no? Just awful. Massive overpayment. My lord, who wants the Leafs core? Just no. Six pieces, including a top ten goaltender, all star defenseman (far better than Phaneuf btw), another top 6/4 blueliner, two first rounders... OMG NO! A vacancy and a floater/cherry picker coming back this way. That's a hell of a lot to give up to get Reilly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WolfxHaley Posted December 15, 2012 Share Posted December 15, 2012 Dude. Put your hate for the Leafs aside for a minute and just imagine this atrocious proposal became true. Kessel - 1st line sniper, capable of 35-50 goals (he would get 50 playing with the Sedins) Phaneuf - One of the best hitters in this game and arguably a top ten D man Kadri - Former top ten pick, still has potential Rielly - Future top 2-4 offensive D man We all know Burke isn't dumb enough to offer this package but MG would be an idiot to not accept this in less than a heartbeat.

Pears Posted December 15, 2012 Share Posted December 15, 2012 The way I understand it is he's just poking King fueling the fire haha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shazzam Posted December 15, 2012 Share Posted December 15, 2012 Kessel is a great scorer but he is as soft as they come. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EmployeeoftheMonth Posted December 15, 2012 Share Posted December 15, 2012 What more needs to be said? I guess, to you, "hindsight" is only a valid excuse when you're talking about the mistakes of the Canucks' GM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Riviera82 Posted December 15, 2012 Share Posted December 15, 2012 In that time his +/- has been -8, -20 and -10. regards, G. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Riviera82 Posted December 15, 2012 Share Posted December 15, 2012 Byfuglien's versatility is something very interesting, that's true. But for our team (Since this was about King saying he would trade they 1 for 1) Edler is the better fit, we need mobile defensemen, which Byfuglien isn't IMO, he can be a PWF or a good D-man with size and a good shot but we need mobility, hockey sense from the back end and an all round good game from our top defender, all thing I believe Edler has more so than Buff. I have no hate for Big Buff anymore I actually like him, but for this team I would rather have Edler. Bryzgalov brings more to the team than Gomez is, if I had to take on of those two (Which I wouldn't want to) I would take Bryz easily, Gomez is a nightmare, even putting the dollars aside he brings nothing on the ice, he's small and brings no offense to compensate for it. Bryz can be a good goalie and he plays very well at times even last season his problem is that he is just extremely inconsistent. Grabs only scored 30 I'm pretty sure?

Smashian Kassian Posted December 15, 2012 Share Posted December 15, 2012 Good points. I'm still not entirely sure who I'd rather have, both of them on the team would be ideal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theminister Posted December 15, 2012 Share Posted December 15, 2012 WSH declines, they dont need a goalie and they probably dont wanna give up Johansson. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smashian Kassian Posted December 15, 2012 Share Posted December 15, 2012 They already have too many centres though in Ribiero, Backstrom, Laich, Beagle, Perreault and Hendricks. I'm not sure they will want to go with Holtby straight off the top. Far too risky to waste the prime years of their franchise players. He's even less proven than Schneider.

elvis15 Posted December 15, 2012 Share Posted December 15, 2012 Yes but haven't most or all of the Leafs been minus players in that time? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pears Posted December 15, 2012 Share Posted December 15, 2012 What about: Lu, Ballard, Raymond, Sauve, Sweatt, 2nd For Green, Johansson, Neuvirth With the emergence of Carlsson and Alzner and Green's injury problems, he may be attainable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WiDeN Posted December 15, 2012 Share Posted December 15, 2012 Yes. TOR Luongo Edler Ballard Raymond 2X 1st VAN Phaneuf Kessel Rielly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
riffraff Posted December 15, 2012 Share Posted December 15, 2012 1. I wasn't comparing them based on Circumstances, I was saying valuewise, Schneider = Kane. which he does. 2. I wouldn't Edler > Byfgulien, Byfuglien isn't a strong skater, is more inconsistent than Edler. I would accept that deal in a heartbeat and I'm sure WPG would too honestly. Byfuglien has a heavy shot, but is basicly Phaneuf 2.0 expect he is worse than Phaneuf IMO. 3. Really you wouldn't do that? There D is probably there most significant need, to be able to add another top 4 able D-man like Ballard would be huge, Raymond is a 2nd/3rd liner right now that can replace Ladd, has the potential to be just as good, and two 1sts is a huge thing. Think about it this way when you are comparing what they bring on the ice, if you were offered that package for Burrows would you accept? I absoluetly love Burr but I sure would. Ballard won't be a casualty of the lockout, he still has years remaining on a guaranteed contract, he will be on our team, and after that I would imagine ton's of team would be knocking on the door to get him at 2 Million or less. I would absolutely love to get this guy at anywhere from 1.5 - 2.5. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
