Your NHL Teams Rumors

[RadioGaGa 162]

Rumour in Habland is Koivu, as well as Carey Price (the Goalie that Montreal just took at #5) and a 2nd Rounder to TB for Vinnie LeCav.

I've also heard the rumour with Ryder in place of Koivu.

...thoughts?

Not enough to Tampa

[RadioGaGa 162]

You're probably right. I could live with pretty much anyone but Koivu going. He is the heart and soul of that team. Even for Vinnie!! Gotta keep Koivu.

Wait a year for LeCav.

[Jason 65]

As much as I love Koivu. I would rather see him go to Tampa than Ryder. He's a real up and comer. I think all these Vinny rumours are gonna prove to be nonsense in a few days though. I see Tampa signing him for sure. He's just coming into his own now. He's gonna be awesome over the next few seasons. We can dream though, right?

With Forsberg and Foote gone, the Avs are toast.

Koivu has proven that when healthy he will produce. Ryder had a great rookie year, but could (and I stress could) be a one trick pony.

Honestly...at this point I don't want either to go. I think Vinnie knows that Montreal is ready and waiting when he decides to come...he won't sign long term...he'll play the market next year and end up in Montreal.

So, yes for those keeping track..I think Montreal will get Vinnie next year and Crosby when he is 25.

Cheers! :P

Also heard that Bert is being shopped to an east coast team- Not that serious though. He has a home in TO, so that is something to look at.

He may have 2...but I think his Ontario place is in Kitchener...about an hour and a half from Toronto.

Anyone heard anything about where Damphousse (SP) might end up?

Colorado is still a possibility but nothing is firm.

Avs have confirmed a signing of Tanguay and Sauer.

Antropov staying in Russia is the best news I have heard as a Leafs fan. I couldn't believe they qualified him. He is useless.

[top_shelf_24 0]

ya, but we were planning on trading him anyway, weren't we?

[koivulchuk 1]

rumors of Selanne to the Blues ...1 yr/2.2 mil...anyone else hear anything?

[#1STUD 0]

I have heard that too, but i dont know if its true or not. The price is right though. I really hope we get him.

Here is hoping Palffy does not sign with the Rangers in the next 6 hours :(

Also, With the Leafs signing Allison and close to Lindros, I hope they have some sort of back up plan, god forbid one of them goes down. I like Allison...Probably could be top 10 in points/ per yeah in the league if he stays healthy. But risky signings for the Leafs.

I read somewhere that he was signing for the minimum with performance bonuses. I don't know if its true, but I hope so.

Where have the lindros rumors come from i've only seen him talking about Toronto players on TSN but isn't he supposed to come here every year.

[kosydar 0]

I have only heard Lindros' name in passing. I'd just assume the bulk of the rumors are carrying over from last season when he stated he wanted to play in Toronto. Thornton would be amazing, more so than Forsberg I think. I'm not too optimistic about it, though.

[Eternal 0]

Thornton would be really good and he could probally play the whole season and not miss half because of an injury

What the hell is up with the Bruins! has anyone heard any new rumors? I heard they got P.J. Stock back, but thats not saying to much. :P

Steen, Wellwood, Stajan and Antropov are the "back-up plan" all have great offensive upside (stajan the least) and have usually played first line minutes on their teams. If someone goes down, they step in. It's been a while since the Leafs let young scorers play scoring roles, so I don't think it'll be TERRIBLE if they are hurt, but really, everyteam is in the same situation. Philly, Detroit, mostly the older big spenders, if they have key guys go down, thats it for them. I personally got the feeling Toronto was tanking it this year (see Domi press confrence), so the Allison signing was a little surprising.

Also to note is the only thing delaying or putting off Toronto signing Lindros is that Carl Lindros now wants him to get the same kind of money Nashville was offering (3.5 million). He has already passed the physicals. Also, Leclair has contacted Lindros about possibly teaming up somewhere, but not in Toronto. Never-the-less, Rumours state that Eric wants to go to Toronto.

The biggest problem with Eric's career (and probably life) are Carl & Bonnie. I know they are his parents and that seems like a horrible thing to say...but has that kid/man ever had to make a decision for himself?

With his history of injury...he'll be lucky to get more than 2 mil (+ bonuses).

According to Eklund, "Lindros and the Leafs are dead. Nashville and Calgary are still

in it...but the Rangers are the best bet in my book."

the latest pittsburgh rumors include, there's been a deal on the table for thibault, and stumpel wants to play with ziggy

[mik3 1]

Has anyone gone under the radar more during this spending spree than Bondra?

[Adam91 0]

Alot of people were dissapointed with his play in Ottawa which could explain him sliping under the radar.
