The Continuing Chronicles Of Jay Feaster's Incompetence

[Toe]

Derek Roy is a Canuck, according to TSN.

[Ruki]

Tomorrow is gonna be so boring.

[caucasianheat]

Roy goes for a 2nd round pick and Kevin Connauton, which is a pretty light load for the impact I think he can bring to Vancouver.

Tomorrow is gonna be so boring.

Aaaaaand Jagr goes to Boston for two prospects and a pick.

[TGWL]

That pick bumps up to a first if they advance to the eastern finals.

Considering they got him for just tossing money his way, I'd say getting a hopeful first is pretty good.

Again, keep Kipper.

Interesting note: My old co-workers son has been named the captain of the Tri-City Americans.

Not the most reliable source, but Eklund is saying that "obstacles have been overcome" in regards to Kiprusoff heading to Toronto.

Honestly, as a Leafs fan myself, I think a veteran goalie to safeguard the playoff run is a good idea. I think Kiprusoff still has what it takes, and that this year has been an anomaly. It's really hard to bring your a-game with you every night when you can't trust your teammates to play well in front of you. On the other end, it's hard for the players to play up to their offensive skill level when there's no confidence in the goalie in net. That's been the story this year for Calgary. Given time with a better team, I believe Kipper would return to his old form... and really, as long as he's not being brought in to take the number one job, it's a pretty decent idea.

The only obstacle I really see as a Leafs fan is the cap hit that comes with him. In regards to cap retention, does that mean that Calgary can hold onto some of the $5 million plus that he accounts for? Or is it a different situation because of the fact that he only actually makes $1.5 next year?

[Ruki]

If Eklund says there are obstacles, it basically means he is becoming a Leaf

And Kipper has been trash this year, he's aging, on a crappy contract (for his performance), and would likely be riding pine for 90% of the games. Any coach that plays him over Reimer in the playoffs should be fired on the spot.

I keep saying this...they want someone with playoff experience, and that's fine. You know how you get a goalie with playoff experience? LET YOUR GOALIE WHO IS TAKING YOU TO THE PLAYOFFS PLAY IN THE PLAYOFFS.

[Toe]

Sounds like the deal for Kipper is off, anyway.

[Ruki]

Woo!

[Gabriel]

If I'm Feaster, I see if I can find a team who will take him anyways, hoping he will report, and take what I can get. Any asset is better than having him retire while we're rebuilding.

[Ruki]

A conditional 7th round pick.

The condition is that he reports.

That is the best you can hope for

[TGWL]

He's not moving. He's going to retire at the end of the year. At this point, they should move on and respect his decision to retire a flame and not report to another team.

This is going to be a very slow afternoon.

[TGWL]

I'm hoping NYR can add another piece, perhaps a 5th-6th reliable D. Get rid of Boyle and Pyatt who have been useless all season.

[Ruki]

Most boring deadline day EVER

[caucasianheat]

Jerred Smithson to Edmonton is actually a pretty smart pickup for them, but yeah, what a dry day. I didn't even bother to watch any coverage today knowing it was going to be this.

It's time to freshen up the title. Suggestions?
