I'm just curious, why ew over Leopold?

I'd take Smid or Murray for sure.

Streit would be perfect but no chance that happens.
 
To stray away from all the ROR talk for a moment...

Can anyone think of some cheap d-men we could pick up at the deadline to shore up the bottom pairing?

Depends on what side we're looking for.

The following are listed at RD in the last issue of THN and are UFAs this year.

Marek Zidlicky
Mark Streit
Lubomir Visnovsky
Francois Boullion
Sergei Gonchar
Mike Lundin
Mike Kostka
Mike Mottau
Tyson Strachan
John Erskine
Ron Hainsey
Grant Clitsome
Adrian Aucoin
Ian White
Jeff Woywitka
Anton Babchuk
Ryan O'Byrne
Drew Bagnall
Andrew Alberts
Davis Drewiskie
 
I know you're joking, but that was totally all on Sedin.



Oh, that's a shame. From what I saw of him last year (not very much) he looked pretty good. I think I've only watched 1 Buffalo game this year.

Yeah, the Buffalo fans are actually celebrating him being scratched. And their defense as a whole hasn't been stellar.
 
I'm not sure what's puzzling about that. Interest is probably pretty high and Sherman wants to cull it down to the teams with the best opening offers.
 
So it was the Rangers that brought up DZ's name and not the Avs? Surprised. I wouldn't think that the Rangers would throw up DZ right away, would think they'd try Stralman first.
 
O'Reilly can't be a group III until he plays 7 accrued seasons or is 27. He has 3 accrued seasons. O'Reilly won't be getting an accrued season this season. The NHL hasn't announced what number accounts for an accrued season this season. Say its 28 games played. He won't be traded in time to play 28 regular season games. O'Reilly is 22. He could have been a group III at 25 if didn't hold out this year and met the accrued games requirement.
 
Teams know what a players value is. You have to realize GM's don't like to waste eachothers time.

Notably, we offered Rozsvial+Zherdev for Dany Heatley. And we decided not to bring back Zherdev at that salary.

I think it's still within reach. 24 games would be same proportion for a 48 game season. It just has to be games on the roster, too, not games actually played.
 
Well considering what the Jackets were asking for last year and what they ended up getting, why is it such to believe teams ask for/offer too high/too low?

Nash had a NMC. I think the Rangers may have known Nash wanted to be a Ranger so they were in a bit more control than they are now.

I think they know O'Reilly's value and probably know what other teams are offering. Hence, MDZ.
 
Can anyone inform me what happens if Colorado doesn't move him and he refuses to sign? I'm not sure of what happens to their/his rights, etc...

Colorado will just retain his rights indefinitely. His NHL choices are either sign with Colorado or hope for a trade.
