Bring Back The Bruise Bros 1,029 Report post Posted July 13, 2015 (edited) Leafs have traded Jamie Devane to Nashville for Taylor Beck http://www.tsn.ca/leafs-acquire-beck-from-preds-for-devane-1.330412 And just like so the Leafs team is even getting softer. Man wish we could have traded for him, cheap fourth liner with great size and 3 line potential. Steal for Poile I think people after waiting till Franson's asking price will come down but then I expect Nill on line one as great as the stars offense is, the defense needs help. Devane won't see much time in Nashville, if any. Good deal for the Leafs. Edited July 13, 2015 by Bring Back The Bruise Bros Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bring Back The Bruise Bros 1,029 Report post Posted July 13, 2015 Semin would be a mistake. I know Ken likes reclamation projects, but he should steer clear. At the same time, he would be the Russian bud that Datsyuk has been missing since the days of Fedorov and Larionov. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

frankgrimes 1,836 Report post Posted July 13, 2015 Semin can just play at home and make out like a bandit I really don't understand why he hasn't done soo already. As far as Devane I don't think so, the west is loading up with tough players and I doubt they want Weber to do all the fighting for Nashville Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They just signed Cody Hodgson and already have a logjam up front. Rich Clune signed with another AHL team and Devane will be his replacement in Milwaukee. Doubt he sees much, if any, time with Nashville. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
toby91_ca 620 Report post Posted July 13, 2015 Interesting, Devane was drafted 68th in 2009 and was traded for Beck, who was drafted 70th, same year. I think it's a good deal for the Leafs, but really nothing significant. I'm not even sure if Devane will ever get any NHL playing time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jacksoni 418 Report post Posted July 13, 2015 (edited) I'm mostly "done" in regards to Red Wings personnel movement. As one last move, trade Cleary, Mantha & Brendan Smith for Dustin Byfuglien and a 3rd round pick. Put Byfuglien with Green, Lift up DeKeyser to the first pairing with Kronwall. Put Ericsson and Quincey on 3rd "Murder pairing". Wave to me in the conference finals.

Jacksoni 418 Report post Posted July 13, 2015 (edited) I don't feel overly obliged to defend Cleary's status och capacity but since I suggested him in a trade: *Yes, Cleary is an UFA. But he still wants to play. Doubt he'd say no if packaged. And he can still perform, he's not walking with a cane (I am right now). *The Jets want Mantha. I don't blame them. A little sluggish, but at best a Hossa-type scorer. Sneak in Cleary and/or Smith. I would also have to admit that my last wish as regards to the 15-16 season was a little bit fantasy-ish, so take it with a grain of salt.

But he still wants to play. Doubt he'd say no if packaged. And he can still perform, he's not walking with a cane (I am right now). To add, the dude can still play, when healthy. *The Jets want Mantha. I don't blame them. A little sluggish, but at best a Hossa-type scorer. Sneak in Cleary and/or Smith. I would also have to admit that my last wish as regards to the 15-16 season was a little bit fantasy-ish, so take it with a grain of salt. My fantasy, is for us to trade Alexander semin, Cody Franzen, and joakim andersson for Shea weber.
