Burke with his tie undone sounding pissed.

Well that's pretty much the only way he can improve the Leafs right ? They have little of value and if he can't find some idiot to take his crap players he has nothing to do.

It amazes me each year people buy into the Leafs hype like they are a different team, lol. Almost everyone does. SD will probably owe me a 5 min BJ next year if we make another bet.

Dreger's been shilling for them for about a month already. He should be ashamed of himself.

BigTits and LittleTits are back together again in Smashville in the only trade so far today...

That is all.

Has the Kos-$hit-syn deal been reported yet?

by **shabbs** on Mon Feb 27, 2012 12:25 pm

Brian Burke "We believe in James Reimer"

Is there another James Reimer that he is talking about? What?

Yup. Turned down a "good deal" flat... Haha. Always entertaining to hear a buddy to buddy chat between James Dutchie and Jurke.

by **shabbs** on Mon Feb 27, 2012 12:29 pm

The only TradeCentre news is reporting on players that are NOT available.

Sheesh.

Yeah. It must have hurt Jurke's mouthpiece, Dreger, to admit that Lindback is not being moved since he was basically saying Lindback was a Leaf for a week now Laugh1

It's Burke-speak for Reimer is for sale.

(ie. trying to generate interest and drive prices up).

by **SpezDispenser** on Mon Feb 27, 2012 12:33 pm

Thing are gonna have to happen soon, unless teams like LA and Washington are content - which is ridiculous. Or is Chicago gonna ride Emery lol? There are teams that need to make moves, let's go.

Only if we can sign him to an extension IMO. Not giving up a 1st for nothing. :crossarms:

It's like the old "We have full confidence in our coach. He is not going anywhere."

2 days later the coach is canned.

giving up a 1st rounder for anything other than a 5 year, PROVEN over time, top 6 forward is beyond stupid. Parenteau is a nice player, he's not worth a 1st to anyone.

I don't think Parenteau is proven enough to deserve a 4-year deal, which would probably have an NTC of some sort.

by **shabbs** on Mon Feb 27, 2012 12:38 pm

So... in the wake of this ultra-slow Trade Day... let's have some TSN vs Sportsnet smackdown...

Alyonka Larionov (TSN) or Hazel Mae (SNet).

Go.

by **shabbs** on Mon Feb 27, 2012 12:40 pm

We have a trade.

Commodore traded to TBay from the Wings.

by **SeawaySensFan** on Mon Feb 27, 2012 12:41 pm

The Real Kyper gets to finally break a trade! lol

Commodore to TBL.

He's put up good numbers playing 1st line mins with Tavares. Nothing great, but good. A 1st rounder for that guy would be an absolute failure of a move. Signing him as a UFA for some term is one thing, giving up an asset like a 1st rounder is beyond stupid.

BooBoo had a good one. Commodore has spent more time tweeting this season than playing hockey.

Don't think he's played with Tavares too much.

Stop the presses.....Mike Commodore traded to Lightning for a conditional 7th rounder.

DOMINOES! Ahhhhh!

by **SeawaySensFan** on Mon Feb 27, 2012 12:45 pm

I think Tavares is real, real nice. But Parenteau would do even more with Statspadzza.

Power play he has played enough.

Fact of the matter is someone has to score in NYI. Last year it was Grabner, remember him?

by **SpezDispenser** on Mon Feb 27, 2012 12:47 pm

That conditional 7th rounder will be the next Wayne Gretzky. Because they're the Wings.

They have a ton of players on that team and in Grand Rapids that are better than Commodore. Ottawa doesn't have anyone else better than Carkner as the 7th or 8th D man.

by **shabbs** on Mon Feb 27, 2012 12:48 pm

DownGoesBrown with a gem:

Mike Commodore to Tampa for a conditional seventh round pick. The condition is anyone even remembering this trade on draft day. #TradeCentre

Heh.

Maybe they have an offer for Brewed or something and they need a body. I honestly don't know and can't believe Commodore is still in the league. He provides nothing.

I know. Grand Rapids is basically an NHL playoff team if they weren't stuck in the AHL.
