Breaking Rumor! Pens and Leafs?

@Alex Tran link?

Haha, that’s awesome lol

wow Pens fans are worse then us all of a sudden

Its the we made it far last year syndrom……we had it in the late 90′s early 00′s. Complete denile that the team is tanking……

My fav Pens fan quote on that board ” guess Tanger, Orpik, Gill, Scuderi who were playing in the cup finals last season have no experience going into the playoffs right? nobody is saying that Letang or Gogo are better than Kaberle right now, what people are saying is that we don’t need Kaberle because we already have puck moving defenders covered, sure Kaberle would be an upgrade on the current situation, but there are more important issues that need addressing that our moveable assets would be used to fix.” from Morozov

they cleary don’t need a seasond D man cause that core has been doing so well

Yeah, I have to agree. I really have no idea whether or not this trade will even go down, but if it does, it’s at least a foot in the right direction for the Leafs. I’m just very curious to see what Burke will actually do. Everything is just speculation right now, but if Burke does anything less than trade one of Kaberle/Kubina, I’ll be disappointed in his GM skills.

This is (by far) the most ridiculous trade rumor i’ve heard all year. Why would the Pens give up Staal & Tangrandi for Kaberle & Stajan? This deal would be great for TO & God-awful for Pitt.

If Pitts had enough puck moving d-men they wouldn’t have been so desparate to get Gonchar back. If Toronto does land Pronger, they should get him for cheap. Anahiem is one of those teams that is being punished by their cap situation and they need a remedy. Today’s trade only added more to the cap. For the same reason I can see them trading Giguere. Back to Pitts though, I’ve followed them closely and they definitely NEED a player like Kaberle. Gonchar is fading and to have someone like Kaberle locked up for cheap on a team that is also struggling to keep under the cap makes Kaberle all the more sweeter. Other than that, they could use some more toughness for this year’s playoffs.

Dan – I got my information from a well-known site specifically followed for entertainment purposes based on their rumors and insight. They are pretty credible, but whether this was just a deal that was discussed or proposed is out of my territory.

No problem, I understand how people feel when things are reported without sources, much like Eklund with “claimed” sources, you just take it for what it’s worth and move on lol

I only followed this site just recently. But would you be able to answer if any of your rumors you heard in the past from this exact source actually came out to be spot on later on?

Just trying to see how credible they have been, how credible the source is. If they have been right before than this might have some possibility, but if not than we can probably treat this as any other rumor that isn’t likely like many of eklunds.

This same source mentioned in the past that Steen was going to St. Louis, but failed to recognize beforehand that Colaiacovo was going as well. He also didn’t know that it was Stempniak coming, he thought Brad Boyes was returning. So yeah, as much as he is credible, he can still be off a bit. It’s just a matter of how the domino falls.
