Selanne and Koivu have NTC's.

Anaheim wants players who can help them now if they deal; according to the reports I've read on TSN.

I doubt Toronto has the players to acquire a Getzlaf. Unless Kulimen or Grabovski are more heralded around the league than was thought. They're not dealing Phaneuf, or Kessel.

Buffalo might; but I doubt Darcy would part with them. Not a situation where Roy, Stafford, Sekera, and a pick are going to acquire a Getzlaf, Perry, Ryan, Fowler - or any combination.

It would involve a Vanek, Pominville, Myers, Miller, or combination of to get this one done.

Simply not going to happen. I'd be happy to proclaim "I was wrong, and am surprised as hell" though..

Naturally, you'd assume they'd waive the NTC to be on a contender. Obviously, Murray can't say they will.

Call me crazy, but I could see Burke having a Getz hard on, and maybe using Kessel being red hot as the bait to get him. That's the only conceivable scenario I can see with Toronto. For Buffalo, I see Vanek, Miller, and Myers as possible pieces in a Getz trade. Also, remember Hiller and Miller are both slumping, which is interesting. Watch for Anaheim to lose Blake's salary, too. I personally believe Murray just wants to see what the market is like before the deadline. Throwing out snagging hooks is all, seeing if he can catch a big one.

rumour has it darcy was in the perry sweepstakes, and anahiem asked for myers, and darcy pretty much said "good talking to you."

Ya, who would even consider being in the running for last years MVP, who's 26, for a guy who hasn't really made the grade yet. Sure, he can play and has mad potential, but this rumor sounds tooo rumory. Guy who's won everything that's winnable for guy who might win something. Nope, no discussion even?????????

I don't even think there is a Perry sweepstakes. These guys have time left on their contracts @ 5 million. Lotta dreamers out there.

No offense Mike, but your rumors already have Bobby in New York. lol

ps, rumors are never done.

This is why they're called rumours, people. They're not true until something actually happens.

Thank you; but we are aware these are rumors, and are discussing it as such. We are discussing both the logic, and "illogic" behind speculation that could become rumor....

I don't mind the discussing of rumors. I was referring more to the snipe at Mike for his rumor that began this whole thread. Rumors are rumors. Shit happens.

Perry for Myers?

I know Myers has potential and I'd like to keep him. But if we got a 50 goal scorer for him and a few others, I'd be down for it.
