When I find myself in times of pleasure, Mr. Simpson comes to me...

I agree, I tried to check on google and couldn't get confirmation. The longer it goes without any trade, the less likely the rumour was true. I regret nothing, it was too juicy not to pass along.

You're just going to squash my cred like that? I know you're trying to court public opinion, but I don't think I can let you, I just can't handle it.

A friend of mine, who has never shown any interest in rumours before, told me today that 1) his squash buddy works with Gillis, 2) an agreement has been reached to trade Luongo to the Leafs, and 3) they're waiting for Gillis to get back from Panama before they announce it. Take it for what...

From what I've heard, I think his problem is below the ankles, knuk knuk.

What bothers me the most about Burke's stance is that he seems to ignore the eventual utility of Parise-type contracts to teams near the salary floor. Assuming that the NHL continues on with groups of rich, middle and poor teams, there will be franchises which struggle to spend the CBA-mandated...

It's a personal observation on my part, he doesn't seem to deal with the media well, and he is coming off a disappointing season. I don't think the Toronto pressure cooker will help him. To my knowledge he has never played well in a championship final, where the pressure is highest. If he...

Luongo is a short-term solution and a long-term anchor. If he becomes anything less than an elite goalie his contract will simply not be worth it, and it will be Komisarek all over again. Luongo doesn't seem to handle the spotlight well. Perhaps his career would be best served by a trade to a...

Don't you hate pants?!?!

I think a trade could work based on need. The Ducks are thin on defence, and don't have a promising young centre, unless you count Cogliano, who is quickly approaching bust status. What about Grabbo, Kadri and Franson for Ryan Lupul-Bozak-Kessel Ryan-Connolly-Mac Kuli-Lombardi-Army...

I would put Grabbo back with Kulemin to try and jump-start them both, with the top two lines clicking we can afford to let them figure things out on the third line. Lupul - Bozak - Kessel Mac - Connolly - Frattin Kuli-Grabbo-Colborne (he deserves to keep playing) Crabb-Steckel-Dupuis

His play of late has been all you could ever ask of him. Bozak has really muddled things for Wilson; where do you put all the contributing centres? Connolly Bozak Grabbo Steckel Lombardi (when healthy) Dupuis It's a nice problem to have, but I hope all this depth doesn't eventually affect...

It works for Tampa.  :P Respectfully, I think Crabb has shown far more than Dupuis so far, and should be considered safely above him on the depth chart. For me, the question is whether he has outplayed the kids. Steckel is a lock for a position given his faceoff ability, and I believe...

I would take Armstrong over him too, but as you said, he is a strong PKer who has had an immediate effect on our PK rank. Between that and his scoring, I don't think there are 12 forwards in our system who have the potential to contribute more. Assuming we ever get every forward healthy (which...

Crabb has 5 goals and 6 points in 13 games since he's been called up. Even when everyone is healthy, I think Crabb deserves to stay. He has turned the third line into a reliable scoring threat, and I think the team is better off with him. Thoughts?

I think there is a decent chance that Gus gets shelled again tonight, he seems much more mentally fragile that Kessel ever has ("this is hopeless!"). However, the difference after last night is that he will now be on a very short leash. If he lets in a soft goal early in the game, I don't think...

Gus gave up way too many rebounds tonight. This has been a problem with him for a while. The team failed to clear the net around him, but if Reimer had been in net, I think a lot of those rebound chances (which our D did screw up on) wouldn't have existed.

My guess: Lupul-Connolly-Kessel Kulemin-Grabovski-MacArthur Lombardi-Bozak-Armstrong Brown-Steckel-Frattin Dupuis When Kadri comes back, I think it will be up to him to unseat either Bozak or Frattin, but I don't think it's a given. On defence, I imagine that Franson and Gardiner will spot...
