Thread: TML - RUMOURED TRADES
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>leafs1967again</b></div><div><i>Unfortunately they are just rumours and none of the other teams would consider them.

FYI Bibeau would need to be protected or lost just like Fleury. If they trade Fleury they will likely want help now.</i></div></div>

Agreed they are just rumours but.......

Bibeau has 0.0% chance of being drafted in the expansion draft. Way too many goalies ahead of him in line to be selected (Vasilevsky or Bishop in TB, Fleury or Murray in PIT just to name 2 out of the 30 teams). They have Jarry(?) in the minors and they get a decent 3rd line winger and a 2nd rd pick. Not a bad haul for a guy you could lose for nothing.

And the ARI trade was allegedly offered by them. If they want Matthews, they are going to have to pony up on that one.

Thread: TML - Wishful Thinking
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>F50marco</b></div><div><i>Bozak at his present day value won't get a 2nd rounder i don't think.

The NJ trade won't happen. With Clowe they have LTIR to compensate for his cap hit and (I've only learned about this recently as well) they get compensated up to 80% for his salary by an insurance company. That's the difference between the Horton deal. The Jackets gambled on the fact that Horton would stay healthy so they didn't insure his contract (terrible idea for a guy with multiple concussions already). So the insurance wouldn't pay for it. Columbus had to pay every penny for a player that would never play again. Since they were on the hook for his salary, they figured might as well trade him for a player that will actually get to play for the team in Clarkson. Not sure that worked out too well for them since the LTIR cap relief is probably worth more in value than Clarkson's production so far.</i></div></div>

Hmmmm....didn't know they were insured with Clowe. I remember reading that they were trying to rid themselves of his contract not that long ago. And I believe in the right situation, like Detroit, Bozak would grab a 2nd rounder. Good 2nd/3rd line guy, great on faceoffs and good defensively. Detroit loves those guys....They did have Richards and Weiss last year. Bozak is better then both of those guys right now, IMO
