Hard to put a price on intangibles for Bolland too guys. Just look at Clarkson as a barometer of that.

 

[T.M. MacReady]

Katie Steang tweeted Moulson may be open to coming back to Isles tomorrow.


Do the right thing, Snow.

 

[SmackCrackleNPop]

Let us all pray that there are GMs stupid enough out there to do it



And here I was thinking Ducks-gaf was kinda cool

Just joking of course. He ain't worth more than $3-4m a year for say 3 years.

We're not kinda cool. We're kinda real cool.

 

[OriginofHysteria]

So if the Leafs re-sign Bolland to that absurd contract, does that mean Kadri gets traded? No sense in having a 3rd line center being paid 5 million dollars.

 

[bonesmccoy]

Red Wings beat writers are already saying Detroit would give him a 7-year deal :/

Hopefully they don't offer him enough money.

Reminds me of the comment that the last 2 lockouts were the NHL trying save the owners (re GMs) from themselves.

Moulson will end up there. He and Tavares are boys.

Leafs will justify it by saying Bolland has become their 2C.

According to Friedman, the Leafs have made a few pitches for Gorges over the last few years. Interesting, hopefully they can convince him to waive.

Just offer Gorges a 5 years/$25 million contract extension and he'll waive his NMC.

:lol I'd also add in a NMC of my own.

Something tells me Moulson probably will want a NTC. Lol.

 

[Fei]

Tim Murray also looking at bringing Moulson back. Same with Ott. I'd be happy with either, but I'd be pretty surprised if any UFA with options would choose Buffalo.

Jamie McBain not qualified. Fuck yeah. Dude was a trainwreck all year. Worst defenseman on the worst team.

 

[bonesmccoy]

Moulson: 6/7.

Ott to retire and stop bothering the league.

 

[Merguson]

Gleason and Volchenkov are on buyout waivers.

I'm cool with him being a pest. Hate when my team's players take dangerous cheap shots. On that note, Kaleta will probably be back with Buffalo next year. :\

 

[Dubbedinenglish]

Jovo clears wavers. We're in on Vrbata and possibly Orpik/ Mitchell.

 

[Kave_Man]

Darren Dreger @DarrenDreger
"@Real_ESPNLeBrun: Tim Gleason, Anton Volchenkov and Shane O'Brien put on unconditional waivers today". Jovo also cleared.

.

 

[KernelPanic]

Also apparently there haven't been any decent offers for Reim Time yet

burke said he's worth a first rounder.

Gleason and Volchenkov are on buyout waivers.

man A-Train used to be awesome for us years ago. He's gonna off a cliff in NJ.

 

[DopeyFish]

Gleason and Volchenkov are on buyout waivers.

Yisss

burke said he's worth a first rounder.

He honestly should be. He's played spectacular. People blame him when they should be blaming our defense, most notably franson and phaneuf. The in-zone circus they put on could make waiver material out of every goaltender ever born.

 

[apocalidiot]

Bolland is a genius

 

[cube444]

Yisss

Making room for Bolland!!!

 

[cube444]

Chuck Gormley ‏@ChuckGormleyCSN · 5m
Caps asst coach Todd Reirden says he'll make phone calls to D Brooks Orpik, Matt Niskanen to try convincing them to sign in DC #CapitalsTalk

Bye bye Mike Green.

 

[CrazedArabMan]

Red Wings beat writers are already saying Detroit would give him a 7-year deal :/

Didn't see that they would do 7 years... Right now though it looks like Boyle has some interest in us which sucks! Though we are highly interested in the German.

 

[Merguson]

Making room for Boyle!!!

Fixed.

 

[DopeyFish]

Fixed.

*vomits*

Hope the leafs can trade phaneuf today

Pls

So we can make a third and fourth line

 

[Quick]

Bolland is a genius

Mimico education.

 

[DopeyFish]

Mimico education.

John English school sucks, brah

 

[bonesmccoy]

burke said he's worth a first rounder.

Pls offer Calgary's 2015 for Reimer. PLS.

 

[cube444]

Fixed.

Sounds like the Leafs. Yet another retirement contract.

 

[Quick]

Gleason waived.

Dan Boyle era begins.

 

[Merguson]

Don Cherry will weep for this real canadian hero.

 

[cube444]

Gleason waived.

Dan Boyle era begins.

I think you meant "ends."

 

[Mentok]

According to Friedman, the Leafs have made a few pitches for Gorges over the last few years. Interesting, hopefully they can convince him to waive.

Thankfully it's only a limited NMC, so here's hoping other teams have interest in him as well. I just don't see him waiving.

 

[Kifimbo]

Bob McKenzie ‏@TSNBobMcKenzie 55s
Josh Gorges situation in MTL problematic for all. MTL had deal with TOR but Gorges refused to waive modified NTC to go to TOR. Still won't.

.

 

[CrazedArabMan]

.

But I thought everyone wants to go to Toronto?

 

[Merguson]

.

He wants to stay and mentor Subban on his leadership ways.

 

[Kave_Man]

But I thought everyone wants to go to Toronto?

He does, he's just playing hard to get.

That tease.

 

[Unhandled Exception]

This off season is so much more agonizing with all of this contract shit up in the air. Sakic pls hurry.

 

[cube444]

Habs threatening Gorges with waivers if he doesn't waive. :lol

 

[A Serious Man]

Is this Niskanen?

Yup.

 

[Merguson]

Habs threatening Gorges with waivers if he doesn't waive. :lol

June 30 is so entertaining already.

 

[CrazedArabMan]

Best offseason ever!!!! Until we sign Boyle and Cleary.

 

[Kifimbo]

I know it's a business, with Gorges doesn't deserve being waved.

 

[yyzjohn]

The Shanaplan!!?

 

[Lone_Prodigy]

Depending on which one of the kids make it to the big team, our roster SHOULD potentially look like this next season:

Sedin-Sedin-Burrows
F/A-Bonino-Kassian
Higgins-Horvat-Hansen
Matthias-Richardson-Dorsett
Sestito

Hamhuis-Bieksa
Edler-Tanev
Sbisa-Stanton
Weber

FA Starter
Lack

I guess it depends on who they sign, but this isn't a bad lineup. If the top line bounces back, Kassian takes a big step forward, and Edler regains his form the Canucks could make the playoffs. They're still far off from contending though.

They'd have to play like last season to enter the McDavid sweepstakes, and I doubt that'll happen.

 

[Kifimbo]

Anyway, now there is no way MTL gets a decent return for Gorges if they are ready to waive him.

Watch it be Kadri.

 

[Mentok]

That's a crazy move if true. So Bergevin is saying he's willing to just give away Gorges for nothing? I don't buy it. There are other players that deserve that treatment before Gorges does. It's also interesting how silent the Gio news has been...I guess we're not considering him coming back at all.

 

[DopeyFish]

Watch it be Kadri.

Bob mckenzie said its likely D

No way leafs are dropping gardiner or rielly and no way canadiens blow their cap for phaneuf

Leaves franson and only franson

Or polak

Only solution at this point IMO would appear to be MTL finding trading partner with 1 of 15 teams on Gorges' approved list. All 15 in U.S.

I'm sure they can find a trading partner. His contract is $$ friendly. How many teams even knew he was available?
