Rumor: Watters: Phoenix rejected Toronto boatload for Yandle

[p.l.f.]

it must be an offer from prior to the season
otherwise it makes zero sense

 

[BudMaster17]

Good old Wilbur, him and Fletcher go way wayyyyy back, but by the sounds of this one Cliff went too far in through the back and poor Wilbur has probably suffered a concussion 8======>

 

[cynicism]

Looks like Eklund and Watters are drinking buddies

 

[TheProspector]

Nobody is untouchable, but the number of players Kadri would be available for trade for probably doesn't number more than 10 league-wide.

 

[Loosie]

This is either from last year or a troll. Or Phoenix offered instead of Toronto

 

[Raptactics29]

That's an offer you make for Erik Karlsson, not Keith Yandle. Even then I don't even think I'd do it.

 

[rojac]

If I had to put a guess on when this offer happened, I would say two years ago when the Leafs had two late first rounders after the Kaberle and Versteeg deals and Frattin was just finishing up at UND.

 

[Clark4Ever]

What an absolute load of crap.

On the other hand, I'm impressed that a senile old fool like Watters was capable of setting up a twitter account.

I wouldn't trade Kadri, Frattin and a 1st round pick for a single player in the NHL.

It would have to be multiple assets coming back.

 

[Drew311]

...and Eric Staal was supposed to be a Leaf last summer, right Watters?

My thoughts as well. No way Phoenix turns this down and no way Nonis makes it this year

Remember this? Bill Watters might have connections, but he knows nothing.

 

[sangreale]

What a load. Wilbur has lost it or is desperately trying to make it back into the media scrum.

 

[UFancyHuh]

 

[snizzbone*]

Kadri alone is overpayment.

Frattin + 1st is also overpayment.

Combined, that is just an LOL at how ridiculous this rumor is. Obvious lie is obvious.

Frattin and a late 1st for a top pairing mobile D is overpayment? Not a chance. I'd do that in a heart beat.

Anyways, this offer wasn't made recently. It was before Kadri broke out.

 

[Amadeus]

Watters has less credibility on rumors than Eklund. That's severe of me, but that's how bad his sources are.

 

[Masked Superstar]

What bar was Watters being an insider at yesterday?

 

[TheBigThree]

Seems legit...

 

[Leaf4Life]

Wait.. April Fools is over

 

[MrLegend28*]

this deal clearly isnt last yr. We were a bottom feeding team near deadline no? no way were offering a 1st along with them 2 then for yandle. its eithe BS or this yr

Could've been at the draft. Yandle was supposedly in play at the draft. I'd find that hard to believe too with how confident Burke was in Rielly though.

 

[timmeeee]

Watters is an alcoholic............

 

[MiniMoose]

Lmao

 

[BodaciousBeefBazooka]

Yeah ok bud, what ever you are smoking pass some around
