(Rumour) Canucks - Leafs Trade Is "98% Done"


Recommended Posts

IMO, this deal HAS TO include Colborne from Toronto. We need a big, young center and MG has stated many times that this team needs to get bigger and younger. Colborne is perfect. We also need a physical, rugged defencemen, Schenn is the only choice, unless you go down the Komisarek road.

My most logical deal:

To TO: Luongo, Raymond, 1st

To VAN: Schenn, Colborne, Scrivens

Why would Toronto do this?

They'd be gaining a goaltender and a 1st (likely won't help them for 3-4 years) and losing a young defenseman and a young center (which they're desperately seeking with Colborne in their system already) while adding salary and restricting their ability to be a big player in free agency. They're losing way more than they gain.

C'mon people.

That's an overpayment on Vancouver's part - take out the pick from Vancouver - and substitute a pick for Scrivens, who we don't want or need - potentially substitute Franson for Schenn and increase the value of the pick.

Luongo is the big player they need. People who think the Leafs are going to poach Luongo while claiming that their 1st round picks, their best players, their young defensemen, their prospect centers - are all untouchable - are out of their mind. This is not an affirmative action deal. The Leafs don't get Luongo without a young defenseman, a center, and a pick in the deal. Who cares if they then can't go out and throw 7 million at a free agent - not the Canucks problem. Luongo strengthens their team where they need it most desperately and a starting goaltender of his calibre doesn't come for spare parts.

Are the percentages based on...what exactly?

Does a pick count as a certain percentage? Is there a particular point total or save percentage that accounts for a certain percentage? Is it a ratio of percentages between what each team is offering?

I think these statistics should be audited. We should get a pianist on this, pronto.

How about this?

To Vancouver: Luke Schenn + '12 1st

To Toronto: Roberto Luongo + Mason Raymond + '12 2nd

followed by

To Vancouver: Shea Weber's rights

To Nashville: David Booth + Chris Tanev + Anton Rodin + Vancouver '12 1st + '13 2nd and '13 3rd

Use our pick to draft Reinhart, sign Garrison and Weber to long term contracts:

Edler (bomb) - Weber (bomb)

Hamhuis - Bieksa

Garrison (bomb) - Schenn (could potentially have a bomb)

Instantly solve our problems on defense.

What constituted the 39% sway ? Is that a pick removed from one side, or a player from another?

My guess is a new competing twitter account posted inside scoop. Either that or a high school prefect with insider scoop.

Either way, we need a pianist in here ASAP.

EDIT EDIT EDIT Pianist.

Sorry got that backwards - likelihood has dropped 59% - down to 39%.

Various factors involved - most relevant one being that the closer the Canucks look at Toronto's assets, the less attractive a deal with them looks. Other factors - the more they look at Florida, the better they look. Also, Burke's volatility makes the percentages difficult to track moment to moment, whereas Tallon and Gillis = solid negotiating foundation.

Florida 73%

Toronto 39%

I know, that doesn't add up to 100%, in fact it's more, but my sources say that doesn't matter.

Raymond has more value than Schroeder IMO, Schroeder so far hasn't develop nearly where he should be; hopefully he can, otherwise he'll be a first round bust. People on CDC are so overhyped about Schroeder, have any of you actually seen him play in the AHL? He's non existent offensively. At his size thats a huge problem.
