NHL 2011 General Discussion

[QUOTE="gameeer1"][QUOTE="JohnBean42"]

Richards will sleep on it, expecting decision tomorrow. According to Richards himself, and his agent, down to 4 or 5 teams, Leafs haven't given any indication they're dropping out, very serious about it, Flames made big push. Stability of ownership is huge for him, which is why he left Dallas. I think all teams have good ownership..Leafs might be behind on that one.

Going to be very interesting tomorrow. Hopefully the Leafs get someone else if Richards doesn't sign, like Gange or Connolly. I'll probably find out late since I'm at the Jays game:P *Crosses fingers*

EDIT: Okay, so according to McKenzie, Dreger and Scott Burnside, it's L.A, NYR, Flames and Leafs, in no particular order.

[QUOTE="JohnBean42"][QUOTE="gameeer1"] Off-topic, but Halladay is pitching for the first time back here yes? And on topic, I will be surprised if the Leafs can land Richards. And then the big question is if he does come, will he be able to withstand Toronto's microscope?gameeer1

Ya, I heard he wanted to be a Leafs. Burke told his agent that if they didn't get Richards, he'd be the prime target.

I heard something yesterday that I completely agreed with...Burke was in on Carter apparently, and Richards...but had no big prospects that he could give up. Kadri wasn't an option I guess, and a lot of other players he either didn't want to move, were to expensive, or Kings didn't want them. And that falls on the past management group of JFJ and Co. Burke has done a great job, but can't get there big named guys cause he doesn't want to give up more picks, and JFJ and Co. has a terrible minor league system with hardly any talent.

The Toronto Maple Leafs have signed Tim Connolly for two years.

At least we got somebody. :v But hopefully he stays healthy.

Did you like him in Buffalo Los9090?

Maple Leafs send Lebda and Robert Slaney to Nashville in return for Cody Franson and Mathew Lombardi.

Didn't really like Lebda here, he didn't do anything. I am honestly happy to see him go.

Also, that Connolly goal was nifty. (:

Red Wings? Sylviabb

I wonder if Dany Heatley has some serious character issues...asking for trades from Atlanta and Ottawa, and now he's been traded from San Jose to MinnesotaLos9090

I can't speak for his time in Atlanta and Ottawa, but we had absolutely no problems whatsoever with Heatley when he was in San Jose. He never caused a single issue on or off the ice with the media, his coaches, or his teammates. His skillset just didn't really fit the team as well as we all hoped, and his cap hit of 7.5 million simply wasn't worth it. The team needed a boost in speed in the top 6 after Seto was traded, and Havlat brings an immense amount of speed. The extra 2.5 mill will help in re-signing Burns and Couture as well.
