Holy Batman over payment. Oilers and Boston are not trading with each other. Chara isn't as good as he used to be so enough of the Chara trade talk garbage.

I would love Chara. Let's try and get Marchand too while we're at it.
Yes, I've heard he's a "cheap shot artist".

If Ference were to retire next off season, do we still get stuck with the cap hit?
How does the age factor in?

Indeed. History has shown that waiting for FA's is a fools game.
Better to be proactive.

Not only that, but in the chance that he could be had midseason, it's something I'd consider. I don't think we can afford to throw another season away by January.
I can't help but feel like the Blue Jackets are gonna go the route of coaching change before they go trade.

I wonder if they wait on Anaheim. See if they fire Bodreau (sp?) and snatch him up to replace Richards.
He may not win in the playoffs, but the guy gets the most out of his teams. Especially his forwards. He's also shown he's pretty good at handling young talent.

How old is Hartnell now? He'd be just what the Dr. ordered if he still has some gas in the tank.

Pouliot is already the defensive conscience for the McDavid + Yak line, I like Dubinsky as a player a lot, but I don't see the fit he won't be a top 6 center with Nuge and McDavid here and we can't be allocating anymore capspace to the wing position. Given what Pouliot and Hall make I don't want to be bumping either one out of our top 6. If we were to make a pitch for Dubinsky I'd want Pouliot going the other way as part of the package so the $$ make more sense.
Hartnell isn't going to hold up his current level of play through the entire duration of his contract, he'd be great for us now, but at the end of that we will be overpaying him by a ton in all likelihood and again we are spending too much on the wing as is.

I'd say he still has some good hockey left in him. Last year he put up great numbers 5vs5 where the oilers need help the most. Hartnell has 38 even strength points, .94 goals per 60, and 2.11 points per 60. Those numbers on the Oilers would have ranked 2nd, 3rd, and 1st respectively.

Yikes!! 33 years old and 3 more years left after this one. That presents a McProblem. I thought he only had a few years left. Stupid Flyers and their long term contracts.
The Nuge
Some say…
His contract is a bigger issue than his age. However, I wonder what it would take to get him and Tyutin? Purcell and Fayne would probably have to be included...

Holy Batman over payment. Iginla while good is close to 40 and Byfuglin will walk at the end of seaason. You don't throw away draft picks for a player that will walk at end of season.

Because he will as he may want to test the market. Doesn't Byfuglin also have weight issues at times. Not sure on that though.

Blues one is a bit odd, just because I'm not a huge Berglund fan and I don't see the Blues wanting Purcell at all.
I'd heavily consider the Iginla one. We could really use a good veteran scorer at RW like Iggy. Probably looking moreso at a free agent addition next summer rather than trade.
Byfuglien one is quite risky, because I think he'll walk for sure. Just don't see him staying in Canada.

That's actually exactly what teams give up for players who will walk. See any trade deadline ever.
