Flyers GM Paul Holmgren on Luongo rumors: "That made me chuckle. Safe to say they aren't true. They have no basis or merit."

i dont think were trading Gardiner. Kadri most likely but not Gardiner.
 
McKowan doesnt know 100% for sure that was the situation. I'm sure they asked for Gardiner and they said NO! Everybody is still on board with not giving up Gards. Nonis isnt going to give away our top prospects. He will give away the dead weight we have.

May be gone: Bozak, MacArthur, Connolley, Lombardi, Komiserak, Franson, Liles
 
Kadri + Bozak would be reasonable...though it would leave us even thinner down the middle. If Nonis could finally acquire a #1 center (or even an adequate replacement for Bozak) then I'd definitely consider it.

i could see him dealing Kadri but i would doubt it. I really think something like Bozak + Franson + a 2nd is more than fair. They could have Mac too if they wanted.
 
in Nonis's interview today he said Rielly, Gardiner, Lupul and Ashton were big parts of the future here.


edit: in not i

Unbelievable if true.

More confirmation on Prime Time Sports tonight Bob Mcowan said that he new for sure that Vancouver has been insisting on getting Jake Gardiner & Nazem Kadri for Roberto Luongo and that Burke did Not want to do it but ownership was insisting that he make the trade.

So who on the board would tell BobM that?

I could see the Canucks asking for the moon, but who are we to believe told Bob what is going on in the boardroom?
 
Nazem Kadri will make a lot of idiots eat their words. Anything involving him has turned into a ****ing circus. It's a joke.

Thank you. Leaf yards are always so quick to throw our prospects away and then when they become good or atleast very servicable they cry like little *******. How many more times do we have to mortgage the future for this thing to finally sink in?

Plus forget about the future Lou hasone ugly contract
. don't want

This. Everyone calm down, I SERIOUSLY DOUBT even the stupidest exec at Rogers and Bell would not be strong arming Burke to do this for Luongo...

How in the world does anyone think Kadri replacing Kesler?

One of the best 2nd. line centers is going to be replaced by a AHL center, who has played a handful of NHL games in that position?

This is a shortened season, with little time to adjust to the job.

Seems more likely the Canucks would be looking at Bozak, someone who has a couple season at the position they have a need. Will he replace Kesler? No, but he's played a top line job on one of the highest scoring lines in the league.
 
Kadri is not being moved. I think Nonis will have some real in depth discussions with Eakins to get his opinion of the Marlie young guns and figure out where they fit into Carlyles system and if they are ready to make an impact in the bigs. Frattin has a all-star shot and release he wont be going anywhere. Some of the unknown or Ifs will be part of a deal IMO.
 
Is everyone aware of the irony that Gardiner would not even be property of the Leafs if it were not for Brian Burke?

I forgot to say that Ownerships reasoning for insisting that the trade be made is that they want to make the playoffs this season.

I didnt say that for Luongo!!!! Where did I say that? I was saying they would trade these guys out possibly.
 
No one is dumb enough to trade Gardiner for Lou.

Right?

It'd be hard to continue to cheer for the team if they did that.

Take solace in this fact:

If there's any team who has a track record of screwing things up enough to make such a move its the...oh wait...

nevermind :shakehead
 
If Gardiner is traded I'll just have to laugh

And then go cheer for the Red Wings, who would never make such a Pejorative Slured move

There's been exactly one time that I considered quitting hockey -- when the ****ing Isles edged us by one point with that overtime win over Jersey.

If Gardiner and Kadri go for the Luongo, that might be the second.
