E-Devil Posted March 6, 2003 Share Posted March 6, 2003 The sharks certainly got robbed on that trade. It's amazing how well Quinn can market his leftovers that he doesn't want anymore to other teams. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NJayDevil Posted March 6, 2003 Share Posted March 6, 2003 Well Devs wouldn't have gotten him anyway with the Lockout Clause. This probably has to rule out Selanne being traded. One would think.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DevilMinder Posted March 6, 2003 Share Posted March 6, 2003 Wow, lots of youth to SJ but current talent does tip towards Toronto for trade value. This gives the Leafs two solid lines up front . Nolan had been on fire recently, but I agree he was to much for the Devils. So it begins, let the trades fly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NJayDevil Posted March 6, 2003 Share Posted March 6, 2003 meanwhile, Drury is kicking ass in the game against the Devs. What an addition he would be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beck27 Posted March 6, 2003 Share Posted March 6, 2003 I did not want this trade to happen...the leafs just got much stronger. Once again we see a "star" go for garbage because of the impending lockout. McCauley is nothing special and never will be. Boyes is considered a good prospect but who knows.

coldply123 Posted March 6, 2003 Share Posted March 6, 2003 Au Contraire, This Nolan deal opens the flood gates for Selanne, and probably Damphousse to be dealt. Both have said that if Nolan gets traded, particularly for prospects or picks, they want to be dealt too. My prediction: Selanne, Damphousse, and Marchment are all gonna be goners Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NJDevs4978 Posted March 6, 2003 Share Posted March 6, 2003 I'm surprised at all the hand-wringing; a lot of people didn't really want Nolan on the Devs (with good reason), so I can't be too upset he went to the Laffs. The Laffs had to get someone; they'd been second fiddle on a number of big names over the past year or so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueSkirt Posted March 6, 2003 Share Posted March 6, 2003 Has, agreed. But I think I'm surprised at how little they had to give to get him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NJDevs4978 Posted March 6, 2003 Share Posted March 6, 2003 True BlueSkirt. I didn't expect they'd have to give up Sundin But it does sound like they didn't give up much though; a late first rounder, McCauley who isn't much. Don't know a thing about the other guy.

coldply123 Posted March 6, 2003 Share Posted March 6, 2003 Boyes was their 2nd best prospect outside of Colaicavo. He is however their best forward prospect. Jury is out on whether he will transform into a player in the NHL, it could take him several years to evolve into a forceon the Sharks. Im really getting the feeling that Lombardi is gonna let loose with some other trades. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derek21 Posted March 6, 2003 Share Posted March 6, 2003 Wow. That's a lot to give up for Nolan. Boyes was a top prospect and McCauley was a good player for the Leafs in their playoff run last year. Plus a #1. San Jose did very well for themselves. However, the Leafs motive becomes clear. They are going for a Cup. I would not want to play this team. Roberts, Tucker, Corson and now Nolan. All pain in the asses to play against. Throw in the talent of Sundin and Mogilny and the Leafs are loaded. Scary. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarge18 Posted March 6, 2003 Share Posted March 6, 2003 Corson has been a healthy scratch quite often late. I wonder where his future in that team lays? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NJayDevil Posted March 6, 2003 Share Posted March 6, 2003 Their D still sucks ass tho. It's like the Playoff Edition of the Rangers. Loaded up front but on the blueline they are terrible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sundstrom Posted March 6, 2003 Share Posted March 6, 2003 in truth, this really doesn't change my opinion of the leafs. i'm still not that scared of them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Triumph Posted March 6, 2003 Share Posted March 6, 2003 If the Devils don't make a move by March 11, it is clear they do not consider themselves contenders. The Leafs landing Nolan makes them the favorite. Period. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CHICO IS GOD Posted March 6, 2003 Share Posted March 6, 2003 San Jose's GM has just been charged with possesion of crack. They're really giving up so why not give Selanne/Marleau for a cheap price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Triumph Posted March 6, 2003 Share Posted March 6, 2003 If the Sharks management was convinced that Nolan had to go, this is the best offer they could have gotten. I've heard Leafs fans blabbing about Boyes and McCauley for years. Boyes does look like he will become quite a player in this league.
