It makes no sense to me. I think people were just cooking that up because it's the trading period, and a hometown boy was playing and scoring in front of their faces.
PS - Is it possible to edit the title of a thread? Because this title is very misleading to people - it makes it sound as if this trade HAS already happened. Isn't there some rule that rumours have to have thread titles indicating that they're exactly that- rumours?
It's just that when people get misled like that, these boards lose credibility.
Edit: Thanks for editing the thread!

silly rumour
I have no problem with discussing rumours but they should at least make some sense first
if we trade Mo it will almost definitely be to the other division since the chances of him coming back to bite us in the ass would be nil (we'd have to make it thru 2 rounds to have that happen.. if we deal Mo we don't get that far IMO) and it would likely be to a team with aspirations to contend.. CB is not that team.. they got off to a ridiculous start but their true level of talent has been shown in the past month or so.... a .500 team at best with 2 rookie goalies is not a league champion type team
Baie Comeau was the best fit for Morrison IMO.... but they traded for Marquardt instead
Rouyn Nouranda would seem to be another possible fit if they get a goalie first allowing them to drop Sniderman
Inside our division I see only Lewiston as a potential destination for Morrison but I doubt that deal happens because Lewy doesn't historically make blockbuster deals and as mentioned earlier that would give Morrison a legit chance to burn us in playoffs, something I doubt Savard would want
Therefore I doubt Morrison is dealt anywhere.. we missed the boat by not packaging him and Lessard (or Gervais) to BC for a motherload

I am asking what does Cb really have to give up for mo For half of the season. Just for that one player what do they have Its More of a Question. Yeh should read into things a bit more.  happy new Year ;D |

Just for that one player what do they have Its More of a Question. Yeh should read into things a bit more. happy new Year ;D We have lots to offer. But we probably are not going to change our 20's because we do not make ourselves THAT much better. If you want a list of what we can trade for Morrison how about: 1st 08 1st 09 2nd 08 2nd 09 3 17yr old dmen playing regularly(Brodeur, Malka, Meilleur 16yr old Sam Finn Culligan and Slaney as 20yr olds Do I need to list more? It's not like our cupboards are bare. They'd just be empty if we tried to make a run. And if you think we can't make a good enough package out of those assets to acquire Morrison then you're REALLY over-rating him. |

I don't think anyone will see Morrison going to the Cape.....I realize it is his home town but sometimes it is not a good thing to play in your home town after being away for as long as Morrison has. If he hasn't gone yet he will stay put and finish his junior career in P.E.I., can't see the coaching staff moving him now unless their is a big offer on the table.

I wouldn't have a problem if Morrison were dealt within the division. I know he could come back and haunt us come playoff time or the stretch run for the playoffs, but even with Morrison we still wouldn't have a team that would go far in the playoffs. I think it will be a big, big mistake if they don't deal players like Morrison and others that won't be back after this season or would get us some good young players in return that would help us in the next year or two. With or without Morrison this is a team that is likely not going to make it past the first or second round and the potential is still there that the Rocket could be on the outside looking in come playoff time.

If you trade him, it won't matter if he's on the team you face, or not.... you're not getting out of the 1st round. If it's not Morrison coming back to burn you, it'll be somebody else on that team. You trade him to whoever pays the most for him. That being said.... all the rumors involving 20's have cooled the last few days (Richard, Pare, Morrison) so it kinda makes you think all the contenders are pretty much set in their overagers. I don't expect Morrison to move at this point unless other deals in the works fall through, and teams are forced to go back and look at 20's. |

Most teams in a sell mode, sell to the highest bidder. If there are two identical offers, and one of the teams is in the division then yeah, you get the player as far away as possible. Some teams will put provisions on trades, that if they trade Player A, to Team B, Team B can't turn around and deal player A back into their division, unless they provide compensation. Lewy/Shaw had a clause like this in their deal for Piche last summer. |
