Lip-ripper Posted February 27, 2012 Report Posted February 27, 2012 From the trade blog I'm following: 11:50 AM: Burke also said it’s unlikely he’ll extend Grabovksi and that he had an offer for Reimer that he turned down. (Sorry for the delay, been having software issues here sometimes today. Grrrr.). Cam Cole of Vancouver Sun tweets: “Still gobsmacked that there was (a) an offer for James Reimer and ( one so crappy that Brian Burke would turn it down flat. Flat!
muskymatt Posted February 27, 2012 Author Report Posted February 27, 2012 WOW...even I'm shocked, Burke actually turned down an offer for Reimer?? Worse record than Ferguson and he's not trading!!!!!! And he thinks this will go over well with the fans????? Got me thinking maybe Burke has lost his marbles Sens get a goalie and look good down the stretch, can't say the same for the laffs, too bad for a Canadian team!!
Lip-ripper Posted February 27, 2012 Report Posted February 27, 2012 12:11 PM: TOR GM Burke tells TSN he has nothing on the front burner or the back burner. Repeats Grabovski won’t be traded, goalie trades don’t make sense.
BillM Posted February 27, 2012 Report Posted February 27, 2012 I think Reimer needs to sort himself out after that concussion, I wouldn't throw him on the chopping block just yet. Enough of the knee jerk reaction trades because the guys has had a bad few weeks (Even if this is the wrong time to be in a slump)..

Enough of the knee jerk reaction trades because the guys has had a bad few weeks (Even if this is the wrong time to be in a slump).. Not only that the fact that Burke still has faith in him and turned down trading him should perk Reimer up. Hopefully it will nudge him back in the right direction, it will be one less thing to worry about anyway.
kickingfrog Posted February 27, 2012 Report Posted February 27, 2012 I'm interested in winning cups, not barely making the playoffs. Best leave that to those who are satisfied with mediocrity.
uglyfish Posted February 27, 2012 Report Posted February 27, 2012 Lol, its amazing no one here is an NHL GM... So much knowledge just being wasted. Lol
Spiel Posted February 27, 2012 Report Posted February 27, 2012 I'm interested in winning cups, not barely making the playoffs. Krikey, I wasn't even aware you played on an NHL team.
anders Posted February 27, 2012 Report Posted February 27, 2012 Belive it or not , but I just found out Dion Phaneuf is a smoker....This suprises me.Who would have thunk it.... wasnt Mario Lemieux a smoker as well? seriously, i remember hearing that somewhere a few years back. BTW, the best trade deadline day ever! I hope James duthie keeps be.ating a dead horse on tv. Proves that the air time for TSN's show is ridiculous and should be shortened from 12-6, rather than 8-6.
kickingfrog Posted February 27, 2012 Report Posted February 27, 2012 (edited) Krikey, I wasn't even aware you played on an NHL team. That's funny because I hate when fans use "we" when refering to teams. Edited February 27, 2012 by kickingfrog

jedimaster Posted February 27, 2012 Report Posted February 27, 2012 I am a bit miffed that burke decided not to make a few deals. Its pretty clear to everyone that without giving up much we can plug a few holes.
jedimaster Posted February 27, 2012 Report Posted February 27, 2012 Keith aulie to tampa... for what? noone knows yet.
DRIFTER_016 Posted February 27, 2012 Report Posted February 27, 2012 Keith aulie to tampa... for what? noone knows yet. For a tin of Tim Horton's coffee and a gallon of maple syrup. Because you can never have enough.
jedimaster Posted February 27, 2012 Report Posted February 27, 2012 (edited) Carter Ashton...Not a bad prospect in a few years. Edited February 27, 2012 by jedimaster

Its pretty clear to everyone that without giving up much we can plug a few holes. I dont think Burke decided NOT to make said trades its that he either cant or the price is alot higher than he is willing to pay,in other words ridiculous.Dont read too much into what he or any other GM says at this time of year. Edited February 27, 2012 by Chance
Lip-ripper Posted February 27, 2012 Report Posted February 27, 2012 Leafs trade Aulie --- Aulie will probably be the next Chara... lol
Chance Posted February 27, 2012 Report Posted February 27, 2012 Carter Ashton...Not a bad prospect in a few years. Ashton is a good player,agreed but as you mention he wont be NHL ready for a few years, if he plays up to expectations that is.
Chance Posted February 27, 2012 Report Posted February 27, 2012 I still think Nash moves today....where oh where could he land ???
BillM Posted February 27, 2012 Report Posted February 27, 2012 I still think Nash moves today....where oh where could he land ??? Rangers is my guess!
Chance Posted February 27, 2012 Report Posted February 27, 2012 Rangers is my guess! I dont think so as the Jackets are asking for one of their top guys in return.Why break up that sort of chemistry.If I were the Rangers I say go for depth going into the playoffs and support for a great team.
Rod Caster Posted February 27, 2012 Report Posted February 27, 2012 Rangers is my guess! I dont' understand how the rangers can be so stacked with players and still have room for Nash, while the leafs have a couple high priced players, but mostly mid-range nobodys and they don't/can't get an elite player on their lineup. Are they afraid to spend money???
