holy **** how many picks does edmonton need....

 

[DutchShamrock]

I thought trading a pending UFA, then signing him in the off season was banned following the tkachuk or weight trades 7 or 8 years ago.

You thought wrong.

Stockpiling draft picks is how you build a perpetual winner, so I've been told.

I wouldn't mind that at all! I see three scenarios with Callahan:
(1) He comes back to NYR (for $6.0-6.5MM)
(2) He is too bitter to sign with NYR and goes to the highest bidder
(3) He goes home to Buffalo (at a discount)

funny thing is this board will snap cause 6x6 was already gonna have Sather hung

And I look forward to that.

Do you think acquiring MSL will impact management's decision to keep Richards (or not)?

Could the Canucks be on the verge of trading Kesler? Sure sounds like it's close.

Not entirely groundbreaking but...

Mez reportedly traded to Boston for third-rounder.

Probably late on this, but JT MIller was sent down within the last hour. Unless Zucc is somehow ready... someone else is coming.

Huh?

 

[Hire Sather]

or Dorsett will play

I've been told that the Penguins are not interested in Vanek.

Hmm ?

that has nothing to do with JT Miller being sent down. no one was on or taken off IR and so something must be up...

 

[Kakko]

So... Islanders better hurry up

 

[Hire Sather]

Must it?

Could mean Dorsett will play tonight and Zucc will play Friday as its been reported hes close

MSL in for Cally and Zucc or Dorsett in for Miller, now something could be up, but we have guys already here to step in.

trades always roll in several hours after the actual deadline. they just need the paperwork faxed to the NHL offices by then.

Stockpiling draft picks is how you build a perpetual winner, so I've been told.

Only if done right

 

[Clausewitz]

Only if done right

See: Florida Panthers

See: Florida Panthers

also see: Oilers, Edmonton

I'd be hard pressed to assume Dorsett is getting slotted into Brassards line... It's possible that he is part of a trade

You certainly don't do it by trading for a soon to be 39 year old player.

On a separate note, its no surprise to me that Gaborik was traded, AGAIN.

Guy shows up when he feels like it. When the Gaborik deal was made everyone was praising Columbus that they took the leap and were serious. No they move the cornerstone of that deal. Its the player, nothing else. Shows how the Rangers made the right choice shipping him out.
