That's true, but we really don't need to dump cap anymore with Z on LTIR the rest of the year, which makes a trade easier.

Ott's asking price is apparently a 1st+, that's what makes guys like Eaves and Tootoo more desirable. Though, it seems Kenny's not trading anyone for picks, which doesn't make a helluva lot sense when he'll may end up just chucking them through waivers instead.
I have to hope he's more open to moving a guy for picks than he's saying.

Are they really that far behind what everyone else has been reporting for days now?
My bet is he does end up with the Rangers.

Supposedly he has a no-trade and will only accept NYR as a destination. Not sure where I read that, though.

True I forgot that with Zetterberg on LTIR we would have the cap space to add Edler without the cap dump.

maybe just pissed enough over Yzerman's "lack of support" in the whole olympic thing to try to screw him. Just because he requests a trade doesn't mean the Lightening have to move him, though, does it?
No but that would just make him even more upset with the Lightning and he probably wouldn't play with much effort from here on out.

Nope Yzerman could still refuse to trade him, Pretty sure there's nothing In the rulebook that says that a GM has to trade a star player just because he was snubed by the Olympic Committe. Marty Is a future hall of famer and needs to start acting like one.

Was more that he was only willing to go to the Rangers that caught my eye. Every single contender would be interested.
Honestly though, if he really wants to move it makes a ton of sense for Steve to move him. You can get real assets out of him that helps Tampa far longer than the 16 months that's left on his contract. Tampa probably have their best window of opportunity beyond 2015 anyway.

If this is really all about the snub, then I really wonder about Marty's mental state.
You are playing for a team who will likely be a top 3 division team and potentially make a playoff push. You are playing alongside one of the best centers in the game right now (when he is healthy). What is so bad in Tampa that makes you want to leave in this fashion?

Actually his off season home is in Connecticut where his wife is from, I think it's just that he wants to be closer to his family In his final year or two. They were saying.
Kinda hard to not trade a player who has formally requested one. Essentially he has gone through the formal channels of telling you he is no longer interested in playing for you. Of course Yzerman doesn't have to trade him but really why would you keep a player who does not want to be there, bad form.

Half the people from up there are down where he plays now during the season. Sounds like a bit of B.S.

I'm surprised about St. Louis. I'd be even more surprised if it's true that he'll only go to NYR. He's shafting Tampa by demanding a trade in the first place and then ensuring they'll get a weak return.
If the Rangers thing isn't true, I bet SJ will try to land him. They're always in on big trades and you've got to think Yzerman would prefer to deal him out of the conference.

My highlights from Khan's MLive article:
So confirmed other teams are inquiring about some Wings players. I wonder who?
I guess there's room for interpretation but I pretty much see that as meaning those two are up for good now.

-swedish
-a dman

tatar, quincey and a 2nd?

I refuse to deal Tatar.
I think the Canucks would want a bigger forward anyways and a high end d-prospect. Obviously add in the possible cap dump and pick.
