Yeah, Wheeler is another one that would be nice to have. I don't see enough of him to have a solid opinion, but he sounds like he has all the makings of a power forward. One thing I like about Backes is he plays a very physical game, he can be punishing - as well as soft hands. Does Wheeler play that way too?
well done ,,, at least you didn't say average weight aswell ,, haha touche nuxfan i owe you a zinger! i like beans got a weird look when i laughed at my computer screen at work

Nuxfan you were right they took it,What do you think about Raymond I think they will sign now matter what his price as long as it is 5 million and under????5 million.Gillis said he would sign Raymond for pretty much any price he said he is too important to the team??

Nuxfan I have one for you
Rumor heard on Team 1040 (Vancouver Sports Radio)
On team 1040 Kevin Bieksa has been reportedly traded to Atlanta for Andrew Ladd.Not sure if true but doesnt realy make sense doesnt clear cap room for Raymond and other players.

I think you have way too much time on your hands, It seems all you do is hit all sorts of sites legit or not and post a lot of rumours, wishes and the odd correct information.
I take it you do not work. If you do have a job, please let me know what it is because i would love to work for a company that lets you surf the net all day. |

Joe - I am worried that Raymond is going to get near 3.5M in arbitration. If they can give Clarke McArthur 2.4, the sky is the limit for Raymond. I too believe the Canucks will match anything reasonable, however would walk away if it got to 4M. They would have to think hard at 3.5 as well.
He is important, but as long has his last name isn't Sedin he can be replaced. If the Canucks walked away, they would then use Bieksa to get a Raymond replacement - IMO its the main reason that Bieksa hasn't been moved yet. |

Why on earth would VAN trade for Ladd - yet another forward that is ready to go to arbitration, and one that we could not afford if Raymond is signed?
Suffice to say, false rumour. |

I think that was just Pratt talking about possibly trading Bieksa for Ladd so I don't think it even qualifies as a rumour.
Also keep in mind that Kesler and Ladd are not exactly BFFs and putting them on the same team would make for some interesting locker room conversations. |

not really a rumour or signing, but there is a story out of Finland that Sami Salo has torn his achilles tendon...playing floor hockey. Yes, thats correct....floor hockey. Unconfirmed right now, but Vancouver Sun is trying to sort it out. The injury would keep Salo out until Christmas or beyond.
That might change the Canucks lineup plans a bit...certainly with any potential trade of Bieksa.
EDIT - injury has been confirmed by the Canucks, they are saying he'll be out for 3 months minimum. |

yeah...he's UFA after this year, I cannot believe that the Canucks will try to resign him at all (will dedicate his money to Erhoff, who is in line for a raise). I would like to see the Canucks simply get him off the books for the upcoming season. Long-term injury will take care of time until Christmas, and after that we will see - a buyout, or Salo retires, something.

Ok now this made me laugh here is one from Eklund...
'''on Kaberle''...
''It looks more and more like either LA or NJ is a leading candidate for Kaberle's services, because today we are hearing "Kaberle is not going down until Kovalchuk is resolved." Unless...the Sharks are considering getting back in on Kovalchuk''
He says the Sharks are trying to sign Kovalchuk.They already have goalscorers in Heatley,Marleau,Pavelski,Setoguchi,Clowe sometimes and Thornton when he actually try's to.

Perhaps San Jose are interested in Kovalchuk.
They may be looking at moving one of Thornton or Heatley, and bringing in Kovalchuk. Perhaps, even Kaberle.
Thronton to Toronto? Kaberle + to San Jose. Marleau to top line Center, Heatley & Kovalchuk his wingers? Kaberle + Boyle on the back end. Looks like one scary power play, and 5-on-5.
Highly unlikely, but perhaps plausible.
I'd say it's almost safe to say though, Kovalchuk signs with NJ. Either by arbitration agreeing to the current deal, or a new, shorter deal worked out. I don't think either side are walking away now. But, perhaps.
As for Kaberle, I have no clue where he'll end up. Best bid wins before Aug 1st, I guess.

Well that will make things interesting. Kaberle's window of trade is only open until August 15. If the Kovy thing draws out, TOR could find themselves unable to trade Kaberle because everyone is waiting to see where Kovy goes. |

| I could see Kovalchuk in San Jose reunited with Heatley just like in their Atlanta days, and Thornton in Toronto. That all has a feel of plausability about it. |

Alexander Frolov's Agent has released a statement today.
"Frolov will sign 1-year deal with the New York Rangers."
It seems the Rangers realized they needed somebody to help out Gaborik. If the pricetag is right, he could be a good fit.
(Dollar wise, his agent says it's in the ballpark of what Afinagenov signed for last year. (As, they share the same agent). $800,000 if that's true.)
Frolov at $800,000-$1,000,000 is a bargain in my opinion. For that price, he should be a solid signing. Playing with Gaborik, in a change of scenery, he may hit his old form.

Wow, if the Rangers really do get Frolov for that price, that is a MAJOR steal. I mean, we are talking about a very talented guy, a former 30 goal scorer and 60-70 point guy. And he's still young, so his career years may be ahead of him, never know . . . especially when paired with another euro with elite skills like Gaborik. Yeah, he might be a bit soft and a bit lazy . . . but there is no questioning the production, even with an off year last season.
Mike Van Ryn retires . . . well, that makes the Lebda signing all make sense now from the Leafs perspective. And, it's nice that the salary is off the books now (from what I understand) as he was expensive and fairly useless for the Buds. Good news.
As for the rumours about Kaberle . . . I am almost actually turning in my opinion on him being dealt. Almost, but not quite. Just listening to Bob McCowan talk about what Burke has ACTUALLY said, versus all the unconfirmed and made-up talk concerning his "impending trade". Almost had me convinced, and frankly, the Leafs would have a very solid defence on paper with Kaberle staying.
In the end, I still say he's getting traded though . . . but as pointed out, it has to be soon. As for totally made up scenarios involving Thornton going to Toronto . . . as I discussed on the Joe Thornton thread, a deal with Kaberle + others going to San Jose for Thornton is possible, and could benefit both teams - but it probably isn't going to happen of course, as it really is just a figment of our imaginations.

Actually Mike Van Ryn was UFA anyway. The Leafs still has 8 NHL defenseman signed for a total of almost 28 millions. I say keep Kaberle, trade Komisarek and bury Finger's contract in the minors. then you have a top six of Kaberle, Phaneuf, Beauchemin, Schenn, Gunnarson and Lebda.
But the problem is probably nobody wants Komisarek 4.5 cap hit for the next 4 seasons.
Also about Frolov under 1 million is a steal for the Rangers. I thought Frolov was looking for a contract around 4 millions, and thats the same reason why I thought he was going to the KHL. I guess it's common now that a player signs a cheap contract for one year after a disapointed season. Like Plekanec and Afinogenov did last year. You sign for less, play with no pressure, pile up the points and then aproach the team for a big raise the next season.
I know this is just dreaming but if Toronto can somehow get Thornton well WOW, I would be stunned. I would settle for Brad Richards though.  |

I think you are dreaming about Brad Richards as well.
Look, this Kaberle thing have been flogged to death. Bottom line is that he is one of the most valuable puckmoving, offensive defensivemen in the game today. The problem with that is he is under contract for only 1 more season and that means any team trading for him runs a huge risk of him going UFA next season. That makes his actual value so much less it's obviously not getting the players Burke wants. Reportedly, Burke wants a roster player AND a draft pick. Keep dreaming. The only way that is happening is if Burke signs Kaberle to a nice, even contract (say 4-5 years for $5 million or less/season) and then makes a trade.
No one will give up what Burke is asking for without some kind of assurance that Kaberle is staying put. |

Here are a few
Matt Moulson signs a 1 year deal worth $2.45 million.
Montreal signs six front office and coacing staff people.
Carey Price is still unsigned asking for too much money.
San Jose is interested in Kovalchuk.
Brian Pothier to KHL likely.

I'm afraid you're right. That's why I think they should keep him, but in order to do that they should somehow get rid of Finger and Komisarek. But I doubt it will happen.
But Brad Richards also only has one year left on his contract and is getting a cap hit of 7.8 million. So if the Leafs needs a center and Dallas needs a puck moving defenseman it's still possible. But yeah I'm dreaming, we all are...  |

Frolov even for $3 million is a great signing for any team if(and only if) he shows up for 75 of the 82 games. He's got mad chops and will give you 30-70 if he wants to. Although NY seems to be the dumping ground for underperforming players. Almost as Sather thinks he can rescue these meatballs from themselves.
That being said, how sick does the top 6 in NY look with Gaborik, Frolov, Dubinsky, Prospal, Drury, and Anisimov. The the fill in guys like Avery, Callahan, Christianson, Prust and Boogaard!! That group of forwards is pretty balanced in every facit of the game. Too bad they have zero defense.
Richards is actually less of a dream than I thought. Reasoning is that he also has one year left on his deal. However, that's also there reason he will not be in TO. Burke is not interested in a player to resign next season and a Kaberle for Richards and a Pick is too much for Kaberle. Burke needs the pick more than he needs the player in my opinion. The prospect pool is not deep in TO and with losing the picks in the Kessel deal, 3-5 years from now is looking ugly unless Burke can get his hands on some more picks. |
