Speculation: Summer '13 Thread (All Proposals, Speculation, Blog Rumors in here)

He is. One of the most underrated LWs in the league. I'd go on a killing spree to get him. I thought he was basically "all offers being declined kthx".

He's overrated as of right now with his move to a "traditional" market.

Worry about that shoulder injury. How long will it take to recover? Reading he won't be ready for camp. What is long term prognosis for a shoulder subluxation ?

Everything (I think) you ever wanted to know about subluxations and then some

I'm not, not sure, he probably won't, it's obviously good if we are pursuing him.

On to other stuff. Big day.

Briere in Montreal is a perfect fit for him. Big trade between Dallas and Boston. Dallas got a younger forward and Boston got a more experienced player as well as a bunch of cap space. They will be comfortable even after the dumb contract that Rask is going to get (since Savard is probably on LTIR the rest of this contract). We couldn't really compete with what Dallas did get get Seguin.

Toronto eats a big contract in Grabovski.

And we're waiting for tomorrow.

I'm sorry

Make a run at Grabovski

too while we are kicking tires. Weiss & Horton would be outstanding. I am still optimistic as JD&JK said they would add scoring. Love the fact that they don't intend to give up assets to get it either. We will have to open the checkbook, but if you intend to win & draw packed paying crowds this is the way to go while keeping that hardworking backchecking core in place and BOB in net.

Filppula AND Horton? Where's the money coming from, Eklund?

http://www.hockeybuzz.com/blog/Eklund/Filppula-to-Columbus--And-more/1/52569#.UdYV6T7Epsg

Word is the Blue Jackets have been positioning money because they have their heart set on two players....Valtteri Filppula and Nathan Horton. It has been widely reported that Horton visited Columbus yesterday and Filppula played for GM Jarmo Kekalainen during the lockout.

I have been reporting for some time the Jackets were priming to make a it splash....this appears to be it..

 

[CBJSlash]

Vanek - Anisimov - Gaborik
Dubinsky - Filppula - Horton
Umberger - Johansen - Foligno
Calvert - MacKenzie - Letestu


Hmmm...

Depthiness.

Every lazy rumor monger in the world is going to link us to Finnish free agents. Because, you know, Kekalainen.

And besides, 8 mil. in cap space isn't enough to sign both.

 

[Stretch Factor]

*ahem* ma'am.

Oops sorry about that.

Not buying this, unless we have other trades in place, for example umberger going away. Also thought I read we wouldn't spend to cap ?

Unless we trade more assets for more 1st round picks. What say we go into every draft with a minimal of 3 1st round picks

 

[FreeBoomer61]

A lot of speculation on twitter that JK has made an offer to Buffalo for Thomas Vanek

 

[Jackets16]

Obviously, I don't know this, but I think he was just saying those are the 2 guys we want. Not that we want them both.

Well, Teemu Selanne hasn't re-upped with Anaheim yet....

 

[CBJ Tiffin]

RT @eurobikenight: @Aportzline so what are they chances they land two players, say Horton and Fillpula? / Told they'll add only one.

What would a trade look like for vanek ?

 

[DJA]

Signing both Val and Nate is bunk, but I'd definitely believe trading for Vanek + signing Horton, though.

 

[Samkow]

‏@Aportzline 10m

All indications are Nathan Horton's visit to C'bus was very well received. Expectation is #CBJ will extend offer shortly after noon on Fri.

Do you follow anyone reputable that has mentioned this? I'm been following twitter all day and have heard on peep of anything like this. I would be ecstatic if this were true, but I highly doubt this happened.

I was thinking the same thing. Any ad that is constantly annoying (like this one), achieves the opposite of the desired effect.
