I can vouch for @samjam99. Know him personally. He reported on Booth and Kassian deals well before anyone else. #Canucks
basically some journalist from van/ott seems to support this guy as he was able to call a couple deals in the past. interesting to note is the guy who told him this has his twitter as private? now. personally im not too sold on this.. but atleast its canucks news? 
only thing i can see supporting this is burke recently was interviewed and said there was talks in progress |
I would be surprised if Luongo is a leaf. Luongo will get booed so badly everytime he plays Montreal. Burke likes character guys. He's not going to give up Schenn or Gardiner as specified below. If there's one thing Burke does, it is to make surprising trades/signings. He also tends to make moves that benefit the long-term (minus perhaps his stint in Anaheim). Schenn has potential (to be a shutdown d-man) and truculence while Gardiner will replace Liles in 4 years. I do not see this trade happening because Burke would be mortgaging the leafs' future.
