I doubt anyone would argue that we'll actually get assets in return for Greening, that ship has sailed for sure.
I do like Xspirits idea though of maybe making a 2 for 1 with an undesirable contract coming back but at least shedding an extra contract.
That's the goal... We need to free roster spots, not cap space.
For example, do you think the Hawks would turn down this?
Colin Greening (3 years at 2.65) + Eric Gryba (2 years at 1.2)
for
Bryan Bickell (3 years at 4.0)
Problem is the Sens probably wouldn't do it, not sure maybe
I think the Hawks could use Gryba on their 3rd pair and Greening would be a useful bottom-6 player for them, they are top-heavy but not that deep (they signed Carcillo and TVR). Who knows, Greening could be a 30 pts forward again there, depending on his linemates.
==================================
Other ideas (food for thought) :
Colin Greening (3 years at 2.65) + Eric Gryba (2 years at 1.2)
for
Erik Cole (1 year at 4.5)
or
Ales Hemsky (4 years at 4.0) lol
or
Shawn Horcoff (1 year at 5.5)
==================================
Colin Greening (3 years at 2.65) + Eric Gryba (2 years at 1.2)
for
Vincent Lecavalier (4 years at 4.5)
==================================
Colin Greening (3 years at 2.65) + Eric Gryba (2 years at 1.2)
for
John-Michael Liles (2 years at 3.875)
==================================
Colin Greening (3 years at 2.65) + Eric Gryba (2 years at 1.2)
for
Daniel Briere (1 year at 4.0)
* Avs would probably interested in Gryba.
==================================
Colin Greening (3 years at 2.65) + Eric Gryba (2 years at 1.2) + mid round pick/prospect
for
Richards, Mike (6 years at 5.75)
* however LA won Cups with him and can you separate him from Jeff Carter?
