  1. Definitely can't happen. There have been some very nice people who very forcefully were explaining why so many hockey insiders had no idea what was going on. Even a 1% chance of this happening is too great a percentage to peg on it.

    Damn you Potvin for leading us on like this!

  2. Call me a conspiracy theorist BUT...hear me out. Remember how when Zubrus was injured Lemaire was all "Oh man woe is me, I need another defensively responsible center." So Zubrus comes back and what happens? Lemaire plays him at RW with Zajac and Parise instead of at center where we were clearly hurtin. So why would he do this??? Hmmmmm??? Well let's think about it for a while, Lou and the Devils have clearly been in the run for Kovalchuk longer then any of us have realized, hell even when Potvin said on XM radio straight up "Have you heard Kovalchuk is going to the Devils?" People on this board still understandably had their doubts. What I'm trying to say is I think Lou has been in the hunt for Kovie (yes we can call him Kovie now) longer than anyone has realized, classic Lou. So when Zubrus was ready to play Lou probably called up Lemaire and their conversation went a little something like this:

    Lou- "Hey Jac, there's this dude in ATL, he's pretty good, Ilya something-or-other. I was thinking of acquiring him and if I do then he's gonna need a good center to play with and since Zajac is our only really good center let's see how Parise does with our other players."

    Hence the ZZZ line was born and it didn't disappoint, Zubrus and Parise seemed to play well together, meanwhile Lou worked out a deal with ATL and we now have 2 elite left wings. Lou is a genius, and so the lines will probably look like this.

    Kovalchuk-Zajac-Langenbrunner

    Parise-Zubrus-Elias

    Rolston-??-Clarkson

    blah-blah-blah

    Do you see the genius of Lou and Lemaire to see how well Parise could play with Zubrus on his line instead of Zajac. IT MAKES SO MUCH SENSE!!!!

    Now if you'll excuse me I have to get rid of my Oduya Signature(thanks RD) and put tin foil on my head so that the government can't read my thoughts anymore. muwahaha!

  3. I just found it. It's at the end of the interview: "By the way, did you hear that Kovalchuk is going to the New Jersey Devils?" Didn't sound like speculation to me.

    Yeah, very interesting. Potvin sounded very sure of himself when he said that, too bad they ended the interview with after that statement.

    Also TG says everyone was on the ice for the skate today.

  4. this was my post in the other thread, but since this trade has its own now, i'll just restate it here:

    will giguere effectively become the starter in toronto or will he be a 1A/B? gustavsson hasn't been spectacular, but i thought they still were hoping he could develop into a formidable starter. is giggy okay with taking on mentor role or is he starter or bust? i mean...he was all kinds of pissed when he lost the job in anaheim.

    Yeah you're right, Giguere is right back in the same position he was in last year. Should be interesting to see how this plays out.
