Speculation: Trade deadline - March 2 - 3:00

I really don't think we should move a roster d man. It seems like Poile really worked hard building it up to what it is and I think it'd be pretty hard to give up one of them for a while.
this.
assuming we dont have a big unexpected roster hole to fill when the deadline rolls around, I expect Poile to stand pat or trade a midround pick/mid level prospect for a servicable forward and thats about it. (maybe someone good on draws or the PK if both of those areas remain marginal)

If we're in the position we're in now come the trade deadline and other teams are adding pieces, Poile will be doing the same thing, fortifying the roster. He'd be a fool if teams like Chicago, St. Louis, LA and Anaheim were adding and we stood pat. You add to make your team deeper and stronger if at all possible. You don't mortgage the future obviously but you necessary pieces to be competitive and match up against any possible teams you may face down the line. Jagr is one to target. Doan is another. Vermette would be a nice addition. These are guys that are veterans and/or producers and if you get them, it means other teams don't get them either. I'm sure there will be others available but to be honest, those are the three I think we should be targeting.

Man if Arizona decides to blow things up, they have some very intriguing pieces... Doan, Vermette, Hanzal, Boedker, Gagner...
Count me in as another who'd like to see Jagr in gold

I'm all on the Hanzal and Boedker train but i doubt the fan base would like what we would have to give up.
I think Boedker could be had for a 1st and a Watson type guy, which i would be all for giving up. Especially if our 1st is in the late 20s, which hopefully/should be. Boedker is only 25 and is an RFA and will probably cost a good amount at the end of the year but would be a great piece to have going into the future.
Hanzal will cost alot too and is at best a 2nd line center, more of what we have. I still like him and at 6'6 is the size we could use.
Vermette would be nice too but I've heard on different sites he is going to cost a good bit. Bruins might be throwing Seth Griffith in the trade for him if they make the move. Griffith is a very good prospect and comparatively wouldn't want to give up a prospect like that for Antoine.
I want Boedker.

aOnly players i see being added to our roster is a 3rd/4th line guy with some experience and plays hard and has a very physical edge. We don't have that on our roster. Preferably a guy who can score a little too and play with Goose and Nystrom
Fantasy is adding a guy like Staal or Thorton but its stupid to give up any roster pieces. Would give up prospects not named Fiala and picks though

First Fubu and now Pred303. !@#$! you cancer
I wrote the Poile profile. When the team needed to make the playoffs they made a small move. When they were firmly in a playoff spot they would make a medium sized move. I hope Poile makes multiple small moves for backup goal and build the 3rd line

Maybe but you know Buffalo will push for the highest draft pick they can get for him. Would do B Prospect + 3rd + 5th, such a deadline move.
Forsberg - Ribiero -Neal/Smith
Wilson - Fisher - Smith/Neal
Cullen/Stalberg/Jokinen - Jarnkrok - Stafford
Nystrom - Goose - Beck/Bourque/Jokinen
Lot of ifs in some winger spots, if we could dump one of Jokinen or Stalberg our roster would be complete

Back up goal and 3rd line is moves that will bring a deep run?
There's already a Hutton thread, but stafford would be a good pick depending on price. UFA, so maybe a 2015 2nd rounder and/or prospect?

Eh. I'd like to see Cullen gone at 38 but he has won a cup and with PL I believe. Good vet presence.
After that I'd play and rotate the bottom 6 as play dictates.
I will say again you people are crazy if you think we need to spend an asset on a backup goalie.
if we are not playing Rinne in the playoffs, it doesnt matter who we have, we are screwed.
A lot depends on how far Poile thinks we can go. If he thinks this is a 'go for it" season I could see him trying to land a big name centerman and kicking Jokinen to the pressbox.. but truthfully, if no one is hurt, how much can you hope to add to a team thats already #1 in the league??

To me, A top 6 Center only makes sense if it is young and a long term pickup.
Otherwise, I see a low risk, high reward 3rd line type player, or just a perceived steal is most likely IMHO.
Of course an injury could change that

If you want to rest Rinne, Hutton can play in that situation. As has been said numerous times on here, Hutton's issue is that he's only playing once every 2 or 3 weeks if that (or basically only when we have a back to back). Rinne likes to play as much as he can, which is not good for any backup goalie.

well we'd either add a third line center or a better center and let Fisher be our third line center, but either way the end result is we kick Jokinen to the curb and strengthen the third line. thats what I see us doing at the deadline

How about Doan and Jagr centered by Jarnkrok? Who's on board with that?
At what expense? That's the problem.

Stop worrying about the expense, let's dream a little ok? Let's live on the edge for a few minutes and dream. It won't happen but how awesome would it be to have those guys on our roster going for a Cup, especially Doan who is such a class act and deserves a shot at it.
