Love Burke being a dick on TSN.

 

[CrazedArabMan]

Damn, he's been playing the shit out of Be A Gm mode.

Well I guess 8 blackberries means he is a Legendary GM rank.

 

[Red_Man]

Grigorenko
Plekanec
Eller
White

Now there's centre depth I can get behind!

It's.....it's beautiful....

 

[Quick]

So Burke got an offer for Reimer and turned it down. A "good" trade, but not good enough, I suppose.

 

[fallout]

Winnepeg picked up Clitsome.

God damn it.

Worth noting that it's probably opening up for Oduya being dealt.

This means my buddy will have to drop his "I'd do ya Oduya" line to something Clitsome related. I'm sure he'll be fine.

 

[Brinbe]

Burke making it clear, we're not doing shit.

 

[Marvie_3]

Grabovski is officially off the table.

GMspeak. He's trying to raise the price.

 

[Red_Man]

Allan Walsh is Staubitz agent :lol can't wait to hear him rant on twitter when Staubitz is a healthy scratch.

 

[KingHenrik30]

Well, you can't have everything. Really, teams have won Cups without elite players in all goaltending/defense/centers. Boston didn't have a top 5 center, and Niemi certainly wasn't an elite goaltender.

I'm saying Lupul+Schenn+1st is more than I would give up for Nash. If that price really is too high, then it is what it is. But we're just speculating around what is the winning bid for Nash.

Elite? No. But STRENGTH? YES!
Bergeron and Krecji are awesome. Krecji led the playoffs in points. Niemi wasn't as bad as everybody thought he was.
I'm basing my thoughts on what it would cost for Nash on what I've read everywhere, including the NY papers. I know what the Rangers are willing to give for Nash, obviously it wasn't enough. Go from there.

 

[Kave_Man]

I remember taking the day off work/school for this day. Now what a waste of a day that would be.

If I was off today I'd probably spend it playing Mass Effect or something.

I'm hanging out with my new Vita, best trade deadline pickup so far!

 

[KernelPanic]

Lol suck my dick Corvo.

LOL this coming from the tough guy who beats up women and gets charged with assault ...

 

[Red_Man]

If Habs weren't expected to be such big sellers I wouldn't be paying as much attention,I don't have much else to do anyways. If Gauthier pulled a Burke and said he doesn't plan on doing anything I'd be skipping out.

Yeah, this is a boring ass deadline.

 

[brucewaynegretzky]

Did Ott just basically admit that he knows he's already been traded?

 

[Solo]

Bigger waste of time: deadline day or July 1?

 

[Kave_Man]

Haha so the Kostitsyn trade is the only one that has happened today so far?

I hope it stays like that.

 

[DopeyFish]

every team is making the playoffs this year

woot woot!

there's simmons with the venom!

 

[KernelPanic]

I'm sure a few trades will happen at 2:59:59

 

[Red_Man]

Oh fuck Steve Simmons has made his way to TSN

 

[KingHenrik30]

Deadline day. July 1st always has things going on, and there are always more LOLWUT deals to laugh at.

 

[Quick]

Should've heard what he said about the Sharks earlier.

 

[CrazedArabMan]

woot woot!

This is what bothers me, it's like some of these teams don't realize they are not going to make the playoffs no matter how hard they try. Yet they still think they can, thus there are very little sellers which sucks.

Toronto GM Brian Burke says the team got a "strong" offer for James Reimer a few days ago, but turned it down.

lolwut

Every year people bring this up, but we keep watching and TSN/Sportsnet keep putting on a show.

 

[Cake Boss]

Holy shit that douche said something positive about the sens.

probably a 7th round pick

He's making it up to try and stir interest and drive prices up.
The media is his soapbox.

Bothers me too, especially as a fan of such a team.

Doubt it. He didn't do that for the Phaneuf Lupul and Gardiner trades.

A bit with Kaberle though

It's fun to watch the Toronto Sports Network eat their words after mocking us last year and the offseason.

Sergei already talking shit about Montreal and Andrei, that didn't take long.

Source?

Most interesting thing of the day so far.

 

[sazabirules]

How often are deals announced after the deadline officially passed? I remember last year the Arnott/Steckel deal happened at 330 or so.

 

[Red_Man]

Source?

Just talking to Nashville reporters about Andrei being traded saying stuff like "People are a lot nicer here than in Montreal, he will like it better and have better production" Which is probably all true, they aren't big market players, I hope for the best for AK though.

 

[KernelPanic]

A bit with Kaberle though

Burke's always used the media to push his agenda.

He was selling Kaberle, but he was buying on the others you mentioned, hes not going to leak those.

If he's talking about a player on the Leafs and mentioning offers he's gotten, it's a ploy to stir interest.

 

[Kuro Madoushi]

Hmmm...well...Gauthier hasn't made any great decisions has he? Maybe keeping Price...?

 

[Marvie_3]

Usually happens every year. Last minute trades, approval gets delayed, etc.

 

[indigo-cyclops]

What just happened on TSN?

Some guy (don't know who he is) got yelled at for talking on his Blackberry...LOL - he looked like a scolded child.

It was Aaron Ward.

 

[Kave_Man]

Isles shopping Al Montoya...

Love this trade deadline.

 

[sazabirules]

Please take Wideman and give us something Marvie.

The Hawks have shown interest in Washington D Dennis Wideman He could still go in the next three hours. #NHL #SNTrade

 

[Red_Man]

That was Gainey, the best thing he's ever done. Gauthier hasn't been completely terrible, he's just made some bad moves of late. Before this season he was doing really well.

 

[Kuro Madoushi]

Love this trade deadline.

Baaaaad move...unless nabs is really going to stay there?

Sigh...I hope all this bluster by Burke turns into something. Worst. Trade. Deadline. By. FAR.

Frolik. Wideman isn't what Chicago needs.


You're an idiot Marc Crawford. "Toews being out of the lineup is why they're losing" How the fuck do you explain the 9 game losing streak and him playing in every game of it then?

Would you take Schultz or Hamrlik? Both have looked improved under Hunter.


I didn't even see Backstrom had been put on LTIR this morning until now. That has to mean GMGM is getting a center. I'm betting on someone like Roy.

He's not going to make any moves. As been said for some reason everyone seems to think they're a buyer this year.
