Speculation: Eric, Ward, Skinner on trading block?

[rocky7]

yeah, I can't see them moving Sekera unless he wants to be moved.

I don't want to trade any of these players from an emotional standpoint. I like them all and have jerseys for most of the big names mentioned on the trade block. I think there are definitely moves that can be made to supplement this lineup to make them into a playoff team. Maybe Francis or some other GM can finally solve that puzzle. But we've fallen for that too many times before. If they decided to give it another shot with some of these guys and pieces added, I'd give the new GM a shot at it, but I'd rather make some big changes. Not just to make changes, but because I'm tired of the same stuff different year. If we have to miss, I'd rather it be while trying a new direction. With the proper vision, it could be done and done well. I haven't seen any reasons for why any given player can't or shouldn't be traded that can't be overcome.

It wouldn't be easy to trade any or a few of those players, but it could be done, and it could be done in a way where you rebuild, or it could be done in a way with just changing the dynamic of the team and still trying to compete for a playoff spot while also getting ready for the future. I guess the only issue is, if Francis is the new GM, no matter how much training he has, is he ready to make deals of that magnitude? We'll see.

My head is starting to hurt after spending too much time on the trade board.

Skinner for Edler and Booth would be a good deal because Edler is a highly coveted first pairing offensive defenseman and Booth could easily put up a lot of points in Carolina.

Nathan Gerbe is a cap dump.... and a center.

just replace gerbe with nash they are the same player

We must be pretty hurting if we need to dump 550k

That isn't an actual quote is it? That could be the dumbest thing I've ever read on here.

Remember last year during the draft when we all made this our avatar?

Can we all do it again and then go flood the trade board? The resulting lols would be pretty epic

though maybe daveg #daveg #mod #satin might disapprove?

No. A new template is needed. Start with this... the hair is an important distinction.

Full disclosure: I wasn't around for that. The guy behind the trollface is JR, right?

The trade board is almost unreadable as it stands now. Why do this and make it fully unreadable?

Indeed it is.

Maybe it's just my monitor, but the area under his nose looks pale. It's almost like he had just shaved his mustache.

I don't understand that guy's (IslesWillRise or whatever) thinking. Not only is Gerbe a cap dump, but he also couldn't crack their top 9.

He's on a 550k 2 way contract and would be 5th on their team in both goals and points, yet he somehow can't crack their top 9?

 

[Joe McGrath]

I'm still trying to figure on why Anders Lee, the 23 year old 6th round pick with 15 NHL games under his belt is this immovable stud. He wasn't even a PPG player in college, what's the deal?

That guy may be one of the stupidest posters I've seen on here. I called him on like 5 ridiculous things he said and he keeps going on about how he proved me 1000% wrong. Now he's still arguing the same points with other people. Feels like arguing with a little kid when you explain to them why they're wrong and they still think they're right.

What makes you sure he isn't?

Seems pretty obvious he's a child or a troll. As the saying goes, don't feed the troll, or children.

I legit wound up with him somehow in NHL 14, 6 or 7 seasons in. Don't even remember how I got him, but I just noticed

He peaks (or at least he did for me) as a 79 OA TWF 3rd liner with a decent shot and a 90 something in body checking but somehow only a low 70 in Aggressiveness.

He's currently my #1C in Charlotte cause I have Lindholm/Kesler/Lokti down the middle and I didn't want to make him a 4th liner. Mostly because his face off is barely 60.

If you could post that in the trade thread as a justification why he isn't worth that much I would be forever grateful.

Because his unsustainable 10 points in 11 games this season has them thinking he's the next big thing.

I hope Gerbe has a hat trick tonight.

If Dave shoots me a one time, regardless of reason "Guaranteed No Infraction for One Post" card then I'll be all over it. With the current state of things in that thread (ie Nabakov is better than Ward and anyone who thinks otherwise is out to lunch on Jupiter) I'm hesitant to post it without one.

 

[Boom Boom Apathy]

You know the opposite will happen though. Lee will and then there will be a ton of "I told you so" posts.

Pfft. You're all talk.
