All of them
I really like Boychuk. He's not making it to us though.

DatBoyJPP,
If Boychuk makes it to us, don't you think it would be somewhat of red-flag considering no other team wanted a 22-year-old?

Don't really care what the other 29 teams think.
Henrik Lundqvist and Datsyuk were 6th rounders. No one wanted them for a long time.

Could be, but other teams are in different situations, different rosters, different flexibility.
Martin St Louis was passed over in the expansion draft and then had his contract bought out. Weird things happen, that in retrospect were bad mistakes.

They can't pull a Lou-type trick and randomly IR a goon between now and tomorrow to make the room to claim Boychuk?

Do we expect Snow to be as smart as Lou?

Snow being as smart as Lou?
That's like saying Janssen is as Talented as Kovy.
(and I don't care if you don't see this. This reply was for everyone else, too)

Islanders have Boulton and Carkner too but he's a tad too useful to be a goon

I love the Washington fans on the main board say they can pick up Bobby Ryan and top-4 defenseman via trade and still make the playoffs.
Like they can just do that.

I also heard that Backstrom can walk on water, cast out demons and heal the diseased, Ovechkin in particular.

Why do you torture yourself like this?
But that is pretty damn funny, though....
They sure do have a lot of faith in McPhee. Though his recent moves might suggest that faith is misplaced.

It's incredible the sheer stupidity on those boards.
I get pissed off every time I see a trade thread of some player who is so vital to a team and locked up on a favorable deal for like 6 years. Why the hell even make a trade thread when there's no way possible the team would want to give him up? It's just worthless, you have the fans of the player say your best player and then it just goes into a circle jerk of who the better player is.
No one ever makes trade threads about the guys who are likely to be traded. The second/third liners and second/third pairing defenders on the lower tier teams with expiring contracts. Seldom do you see a player who is locked up on an affordable deal and for a good period of time get traded.
See Gorges and Skinner threads.

IF they actually move, I really hope it's to Quebec. Their fans have been waiting patiently for a long time to get an NHL team there again.

a team with Malkin and Crosby should be prohibited from claiming anyone until either of them is on LTIR.

Hey there,
my hometown team in Biel, Switzerland seems interested in signing Colin White for the remainder of the season. What can you guys tell me about him? What sort of player is he? Strengths, weaknesses?
Greetings from Switzerland!

That's too bad, I have my reservations about how the NHL will fare in Seattle. I went to Phoenix last week [mumble]to watch a WWE event[/mumble] and caught a Kings/Coyotes game while I was there. The arena is nice, but it's just a little out of the way from Phoenix.
Solid positionally. Great down low along the boards. Very strong and tenacious on the body. Will wow you with a diving poke check or a nice defensive play once in a while. Downside is he is terrible with the puck and his outlet passes are acceptable to below average.
He's also slow and gets walked around like he is a statue on skates from time to time. At this point, I don't know if he's anything more then a third pairing PK specialist.
