What about Alexander Burmistrov? Apparently he is in the dog house with the coach. He is a highly skilled lefty shot. I would love to add him to our team.

Pominville is exactly the kind of player we need, i really cannot fathom why Buffalo wants to part ways with him. He would be a tremendous replacement for Parise both in terms of production and leadership, assuming we aren't one of the eight teams on his no-trade list (i can't see why we would be) i certainly hope Lou kicks the tires on acquiring him.
Pominville - Henrique - Kovalchuk
Elias - Zajac - Zubrus
Ponikarovsky - Loktionov - Clarkson
D'Agostini - Carter - Bernier
Gionta/Kostopoulos
Our forward group would once again be one of the deepest in the league, incredibly solid third and fourth lines with the right amount of high end talent in the top six.
I wonder what Buffalo would want for him though? Surely if they're selling Pominville they're looking to get some picks and prospects in return; perhaps they'd take Tallinder back too considering his previous chemistry with Myers and the fact Regehr is likely to be moved at the deadline as well?
Maybe a deal around:
To
Pominville
To
Tallinder
1st Round Pick
Merrill / Severson
Surely that would get the ball rolling at least? Tough price to pay but i'd do it for Pominville.
ehhhh i think thats slightly too expensive. make it a 2nd, and get rid of severson and i think id be ok with it.....maybe. we cant really afford to **** around with our first rounders. or lack thereof.

Yea I can see him being the star defenseman we haven't had in years. Would rather deal Severson than him and I'm high on Severson. I'm just that high on Merrill.

Brilliant! You might be my favorite poster currently!
great. flavor of the month. no booty calls.
all of this is true. unless the return is worth it.
Right now, Pominville is a decent Parise replacement. Jon Merill is playing minor league hockey. It's an easy choice for me.

This isn't very well thought out. Merrill could be a STAR! I'm all for dealing prospects for proven players but I just wouldn't deal him. I guess I just like him a lot but he's the one and only prospect I wouldn't deal.

Hypothetical question. Would you rather trade Matteau? Or this years first rounder? We'll undoubtedly be drawing a lower pick this year, but as has been said maybe they will be another bust while we've already got a good look at Matteau.

Yandle would be amazing. He'd immediately become our #1 D-man. Are the Yotes seriously shopping him? I find that baffling, they still have a shot at making the playoffs.
If we have a shot at Yandle we should definitely inquire. I'd give up a *lot* to get him, he's worth it.
Pominville would be nice, but he's only signed for one more year and hasn't been good this year. He had a down year in 2011-12 too. Who knows whether he'd return to form or not. I wouldn't risk much for him. Let some other team overpay for him.
Vanek is obviously just a pipe dream - I only hope that he doesn't end up with one of our division rivals. Hopefully Buffalo ships him to the West.

I'd rather deal Matteau than a 1st. He looks like he can be solid but nothing special. There's a lot of talent this year I'd rather keep the pick.

Gotta give to get unfortunately, plus i'm sure he'd draw a lot of interest around the league. Pominville would be a perfect fit for our team after losing Parise and instantly make us into a contender again.

Give me Pominville!
Columbus would probably give a **** ton for him right now after what the GM said today. But you gotta assume CBJ is one of the 8 Pommy wouldnt go to

Pominville is so underrated it's not even funny. I like Merrill too but it addresses a big need without touching the current roster.
