Trade Deadline

That may be the case with Kiprusoff, but then again, Belfour was a year older when he joined the Leafs, so you ever know.

That's true, but, by the time Belfour came to the Leafs, he had transitioned into being an excellent positional goalie that relied much less on his reflexes and speed.

Well, if the 36 yr old Kiprusoff comes to the Leafs, we better hope to see more of what the 37yr old Belfour brought.  ;)

DarrenDreger: As per @aaronward_nhl the Leafs have permission to speak with Kiprusoff. No trade in place, but process moves forward.#tradecentre

DamoSpin: Kiprussof deal between Flames and Leafs would likely be something like a third rounder that goes to a second if Leafs make playoffs.

In the unlikely instance that Cox is close to right, that's a manageable asset cost.

kipper has had a horrible season.  He is a gamble to be better then Reimer and by his numbers would be a downgrade.  Why not stand pat and keep Reimer in goal?
 
mirtle: Kiprusoff has allowed two goals on two shots tonight. That's a .000 save percentage, which is just under Reimer's .920. #fancystats

:o

EDIT: 3 goals on 6 shots now. Really hope there's not a lot of traction on this deal.

Per Dreger and McKenzie: Sean Coutourier and Erik Johnson could be on the move.

EJ would look pretty good on the Leafs blueline, no?

Couturier would make for a fantastic 3rd line centre.

He'd be a perfect replacement for Bozak's roster spot if we could turn Bozie into a 1st.

Would you trade Gardiner for him? I really think that's the only piece Philly would be interested in if they came a knocking. Well him, Rielly, or Kadri. But Gardiner would be the most realistic.

As for EJ, I'd be very much interested in him as well. I think if he got to a team where he didn't have to be the go-to guy he would excel.

With that said, I'd be shocked if either player moved. They just need something to talk about.

Probably not, no. I mean, if we're being realistic about him, he probably tops out as a good but not great 2nd line centre and more likely ends up being a really good shutdown 3rd line centre. Not someone I move Gardiner for.
 
Erik Johnson would look great on this team, I was surprised when he was dealt to Colorado from STL in the first place.  I wonder if a bigger deal involving Gardiner going the other way could be looked into.

I wonder if he tops out as a slightly more offensively gifted David Bolland.
 
Message to Nonis... Derek Roy and David Clarkson.. YES......

Ryan Clowe and Mikka Kiprisoff... NO
 
Real_ESPNLeBrun: Told the Dallas Stars have decided to trade Jaromir Jagr. My sense is Boston leads the list of front-runners

Not that the Leafs need wingers, but, Jagr comes with tons of playoff experience and a couple Cup rings.

If the price were right I think he could contribute some real value as a veteran leader and a PP specialist.
