Steen 0 Report post Posted August 12, 2005 Howard Berger says the Leafs are close to acquiring a "name" defenseman that played with the Montreal Canadiens and New York Islanders in the past. The one possibility there is Mathieu Schneider, another being UFA Scott Lachance. But if it's a "name" defenseman, is it possible the Wings would move the newly signed defenseman to make room for Datsyuk and Zetterberg? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They ain't gonna get paid what we hear they are asking for. As for Schneider, the Leafs can't afford him. With Nolan on the payroll they are literally f'd.

Then they would have just signed Hamrlik as opposed to Schneider. Unless Toronto has a sweet deal to offer I don't think this is going to happen. Don't see too many sign-and-trades when the player in question was UFA. peace Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mutherpucker27 0 Report post Posted August 13, 2005 Maybe if the Leafs were dumb enough to send Kaberle or McCabe our way in exchange. But even the Leafs can't be that dumb...if you want a defenseman, why trade away one that's better than the one you're getting? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Schneider played 13 games in 94-95 for the Islanders and 65 games in 95-96 for them... I wish it were true that we were looking to move him...in my opinion, we could spend his 3.3 million better, but it isn't going to happen...especially to Toronto, where he was greeted with a chorus of boo's everytime he took the ice...

TNBT 3 Report post Posted August 22, 2005 With the new CBA, do salaries have to match when a trade is made, like in the NBA and other sports? If so, then lets do Schneider for Lindros and Allison, whose combined salaries add up to about the same as Schneider's (if I remember correctly). *** Yes, I was being sarcastic in case it wasn't obvious.
