Do you really want the Leafs to acquire Dustin Penner?
- Pecafan Fan

If the price is right...I wouldn't mind it.

He's a big body....plays a good board game....and would open up ice for our skilled players.

Not to mention he's clutch in the playoffs.

I don't see Bernier as much...but given Allaire's style, and Linbacks size and athletism...I think they can make magic happen.
- Pen15

Or just fire Allaire, and let Reimer get back to the way he was, ie challenging shooters and being at the top of his crease.

As for Scrivens, one guy that Allaire didn't (frank) up. But there's nothing more to teach. The guy will sink or swim at the NHL level in 2012/13....and is on his way to winning a Calder Cup in 2011/12.

Don't we have a Lindback type in Rynnas?

And Scrivens.

17 points last season.

What do you think we'd have to give up to get Lindback or Bernier?
- Pen15

Honestly, I don't know. I'm not good with predictions like that on goalies who aren't starters already

Ok fine, but Lindback isn't currently performing better than Reimer... so your point is moot.
- mfreedman

Right...but my point is it would be a potential for potential swap...

so fire the goalie coach who has coached a hall of famer and a couple of Conn Smythe winner so he can let Reimer become the goalie that he was for about 30 games?



A SOUND PLAN

Please no Penner talk. Thank you.

He's a big body and he's 30.

Plays a good board game but once every 15 games.

Open up ice for skilled players by throwing pancakes at the opposition?

Clutch in the playoffs he has no part in helping his team make.

I don't need him for point production...I need him to win battles in the dirty areas and open up ice for my skilled guys...

If its trade and fa to change things up, I'd like to get Zajac if we're going for a centre. 6'3 Canadian boy. Hell, lets grab Zajac and Parise.

But I'm just a bandwagon devil fan right now.

Those 7 goals were clutch though.

I..I.. Agree? *winces*

If Canada lost to Slovakia you're saying it wouldn't be embarrassing?
- Domaju

Id expect to win, but im just saying they are a very good hockey country.

probably the best... pound for pound.

It's funny how Reimer's 30 games are more valid of an argument than Lindbacks...

- Pen15

Winning battles in dirty areas is tough for one of the laziest players in the league.

- Pen15

He's the softest big player in the league.

And Scrivens.
- Unholy_Goalie

I was thinking size wise but Scrivens is at the point now that he has to be given a chance, It will be hard to bury him the AHL for another season plus he is an RFA, doubt Burke will go with Reimer & Scrivens, too much inexperience again.

Always have been a big supporter of Scrivens, this will be interesting to see which way it goes.

That's precisely what he doesn't do...

Every coach has a shelf life. The game is constantly changing. Or do believe that Mike Keenan is still a good coach in today's NHL?

Those 7 goals were clutch though.
- Unholy_Goalie

Again...not being signed for point production...being signed to open up space and win board battles....two things we sorely lack.

EDIT: And if you think he didn't contribute to the LA Kings making the playoffs then you clearly have no concept of hockey.

- Pen15

They actually are. Want to know why?

Reimer cost the Leafs nothing.

Lindback, according to you, would cost the Leafs Schenn and Kulemin.

He's the softest big player in the league.

JVR is a close second.

sure changed in a hurry for Reimer once opponents figured him out.

- Pen15

No, the difference is we don't have to give up a 2nd round pick and Reimer for Reimer's 30 games, or a Reimer and Kulimen for Reimer's 30 games. Hope that didn't confuse you.
