Leafs Contracts Etc.

[CL]

Geez TG. I have three kids. How many do you have? ;D

Actually, I have never had a problem with my sexuality and indeed, I do have a few gay friends. The Village People were basically a "canned" group and so not my style. As for being a cop, I have real problems with the macho lifestyle many like to portray. And this is coming from a guy who sports a brush cut and a scowl on a good day.

i didn't see anything about Erikkson, but that's amazing if he's going to be bought out.

Svhela's little act about retiring is getting old. Either PLAY or Don't play, don't hem and haw every season.

Well, Sundin wasn't pleased as punch last year either; and I think the 4 accquistions was made to please him as well, but out of the 4, 1 is a definate stay.

Wesley DID say that he'd make a choice to stay in Toronto based on what was good for him; not because he had attachments in carolina (v. good business man). and it wasn't like Wesley was telling a lie. the leafs NEED defense help.

With Renberg, it could ALL be about his little girl. the only reason why he came back was Toronto said they'd fly her out once every couple of months. maybe it's not enough for him anymore.

it doesn't help that for two seasons he was v. injured.

Not me Pam. When I wish to go out incognito I prefer something a little more flamboyant than the mundane deportment of a hockey insider. On my most daring outings, I dress up as a Swiss shepherd boy and sing a little ditty called "Tomgunner's Lament" as I walk the seedier streets of town. ;D

Now now CL...., I know the ONLY reason you ever wanted to be a Cop, is due to the 1st time you saw your Hero, the Cop from the "Village People" performe YMCA in his tight leather, cop outfit! ;D

LMAO!! Heheheheh. Both of those are good ones. ;D ;D ;D

I've read a lot about this, on the board on passing, but in a couple of other boards, and news wires

this really makes me sad inside.

Lumme's contract will be honoured most likely.

I hope to goodness this is for depth reasons only, and he's being kept on as the seventh defenseman.

Pilar and Jackman SHOULD most likely make the team, but they better kiss a couple of bummies all off-season long to crack the line up. Depending on whom they get for the defense in the offseason, these two can be 5-6 right off the top, or even 4th, assuming Berg stays on the team....

Svhela (if not retired) Kaberle
Wesley (if-re-signed) McCabe/Jackman
McCabe and Pilar/Jackman

very passible defense tandem....

I'm not holding breath on Hatcher.

THIS JUST IN

Hoglund's contract, if honoured, will be getting a 10% raise....for what exactly? 3 game winning goals against 2 icky teams and Ottawa, the ickiest of the ick?

Gilmour's 3 million US contract will not be picked up
but sources say that they will re-negotiate on the deal. "Money is not an issue" Gilmour stated.

Gilmour, if re-signed, would play late december

Expect Kyle Wellwood, the only prospect not signed to the Leafs, to be signed next week. If not, then he will be tossed back into the draft.

[lapniappe]

off the newswire....

Leafs signed Kyle Wellwood

terms not realsed.

well that's good. now we have all our prospects.

[lapniappe]

very confusing...

sources say:

Bill Watters will NOT have his contract re-newed, nor will he come back to the team

Ken Dryden will NOT return as President, but will come back at some capicity to help the team.

though the Globe (not sure if it's G. and Mail or Boston)

Tannenbaum will make NO major decision until AFTER he takes over the team in July.

okay, who's the P.R. Staff, and they should be fired!

[lapniappe]

off the newswire:

Robert "offically" retired again, says his agent, will become a V.P. with his team in Slovakia.

just let him go. That's 3 million you save, and can use that extra to entice someone else.
