Did you guys see the pandamonium that a few tweets caused over at that other Leaf board yesterday?

It's utterly ridiculous how spazmatic a lot of those Leaf posters can become.  They literally post random, baseless rumours every 30 seconds.  "What about Getzlaf?  What about this deal?  Can we get Johansson?  This might get us Wilson!  I want Backes!" 

It's just embarssing.  I envision all the Leaf posters at Hockeysfuture like this guy:

As bad as some of the Leaf related proposals are, the ones from Habs fans are so much worse. They have absolutely no clue as to the value of their players. It's really pretty funny.

There are delusional fans of any fanbase, but the most delusional seem to gravitate to the message boards so you get a high percentage of "scratch your head" type proposals.

I quit internet trade rumors in 2002 - cold turkey too!

Yes.. they do look a lot like the on-air talent at The Score.

incarceratedbob: **BREAKING NHL NEWS**Source: Leafs will be announcing a *DEAL* within next 72Hours (Trade could be finalized as early as today) #TOP6FWD

Take it for it is worth.

So, no trades for the next 3 days?

Bob is so full of it he almost makes Eklund look credible. 

Almost.

Almost.

I love the fact that he protects his tweets as well, so, he has to let you follow him so that you can read his BS. I refuse to have that garbage clogging up my timeline, so, really, all I know about him is what gets posted on message boards.

Is this guy even associated with a media outlet?

Same here.  Not knowing the back story, I followed him for about a week to see what he was all about.  He is all about yelling, clogging up twitter feeds and piles of BS.  During that time, some signing or trade went down that he was about 10% right (I think he was right on the date but wrong on the player and the team and the sport) on and the next 400 tweets were about how good he was, in all caps.

Only his own.  Chances are he looks a lot like the photo Ern Dog posted below.  (So wait maybe he IS a Score employee.)

Ah. So basically he's as legit as any of us posters.

**DEAL DONE**. WAITING FOR LEAGUE APPROVAL. LEAFS GET GETZLAF FOR GRABOVSKI & A 1ST!!

That was fun.

His twitter profile seems to claim that he's associated with a New York area radio station, though, with the way it's just kind of thrown in there, it might just be that he's a fan of the station.

I'm going to dust off a name from last year... Paul Stastny... Not that I think he's available or anything but maybe they do it for the right deal? Personally, I'm as interested in acquiring him now as I was last year.

I'm definitely not. 2nd season in a row where he's really not justifying his paycheque at all, and Colorado (surprisingly) are a decent team this season, with no cap issues . . . I don't see them as having any serious motivation to move him, and the Leafs not in a position to take un cap commitments that aren't carrying their weight. There's something wrong with Stastny right now, and the Leafs shouldn't be gambling on their ability to fix him.

As of today, (per capgeek) the Leafs have ~2.5 mil in cap space... 2.5 + 2.9 (Grabo) = 5.4... Now who's contract is ~ 5.4? LEGZZZZ!  ;D

Fair enough... It is a big ticket.
