No Habs No! - Nicklas Backstrom

Until last night it looked like the No Habs No! campaign was going to run the table on the Montreal Canadiens. However, the Habs have bought themselves a temporary reprieve. I did manage to has out the first three letters to the Washington Capitals. Nicklas Backstrom is the initial recipient for his overtime winner in game two which completed his hat trick. In addition to thanking Nicklas for his efforts I may have also made a suggestion about what he could do this summer.

Regarding J.R. and P.P.P. relations, it’d be like you stole our girlfriend.

Luckily Burke is a no-offer-sheet type GM, or at least shouldn’t be after the deal with Lowe stealing Penner.

It had less to do with the use of an offer sheet and more to do with the fact that Lowe drastically overpaid for Penner, thereby skewing the values of subsequent RFA’s around the league.
In the Name of the Holy Truculence
yeah, it was more that the Oilers threw an offer sheet that the Ducks couldn’t match (or wouldn’t because it was a crazy over payment) and thus a poaching of said asset

another key fact you guys are forgetting
we can’t give any offer sheets to RFAs. We don’t have our picks, atleast the ones need for a significant signing
40 years we've stayed loyal, waited, and pained. That is the honor of being a Leafs' fan.
JR and PPP are tight, and all of us JRers have a mancrush (or womancrush) on Backstrom.

Haha I can’t even begin to fathom the type of package that would be involved in trading for Backstrom

We’d need more than two first round draft picks. You’re looking at at least two d-men, and maybe Kessel. We’re pretty stingy.

I think the Thornton trade is more comparable

Except I doubt Washington management has turned on Backstrom.

They thought they’d get Ryan and/or Getzlaf.
Idiots.

I guarantee when we hear the news of Tomas Kaberle being traded, the HFboards or whatever will look almost identical.

In NHL 10, I got him for Komisarek, Van Ryn and some nobody from the Marlies. That’d work, right?

Van Ryn is a sweet bargaining chip. So much trade value.

Uh, well if Backstrom reads between the lines then it’s clear he needs to hold out and demand a trade to Toronto.

I like how the letter seems to imply you own the Leafs and you’re offering him a dollar.

I’d send whatever the local currency is for the player. Easier for Backstrom to use a dollar on his next cab ride.
Awesome letter and I love the offer to come to Toronto, comedy gold.
I look to the future because that's where I'm going to spend the rest of my life.
oh, you mean the next time he hops in Kello’s cab and says “You don’t mind if I join you, no?”

So that he can use it and think of the generosity of Toronto fans.

But if provided with Canadian money it could be used as a subtle push to become a Leaf. Being able to use a dollar is incentive enough to leave the caps for the leafs I believe.

Hell no! Ted got really pissy with one of our commenters when he even suggested they wouldn’t resign Backstrom. Keep dreaming though ;)
