Proposal: 2013 Offseason: UFAs, Trades, and Potential Buyouts | Part V

[HSF]

Weirchioch for Connolly is something i would do.

They want a D and we can sign a stop gap still Ceci is ready and we add a solid prospects upfront



ps. I would have taken Nino in a heartbeat that guy is going to be a good powerforward

 

[Marty Straka]

So I've seen that Ottawa might have been calling Pitts for James Neal? That would be a big hell yes on my part. He would be stupid good with Spezza.

Where have you seen this?

 

[Qward]

rumor site. take it with a grain of salt.

 

[Hammertyme]

Wiercioch had similar numbers to Shattenkirk who just got 4.25m.difference is PW is questionable defensively. Being the fact that he is tied as an RFA he will get a 2yr 1mil offer. Being that he was out of the lineup a fair amount I dont think the sens will budge as Pw has very limited negotiating leverage. Condra has more overall negotiating position as he doesnt have the obvious weakness.
Feel sorry for Boro..he has limited Nhl experiece..2 years 650 2 way.

 

[Super Cake]

That zack smith for hemsky rumor is still floating around.

 

[Stylizer1]

I'm at the point where I don't know what this teams direction is. I think they want see how they do next season with a healthy line first before trying to vastly improve us.

If we are going for it this is the most budget friendly lineup with what we need to git er done.

Call it the dream line. Because that is what it is. Not any of them will sign for that low.


Also, max salary retention is 50%, not 80%.

 

[Super Cake]

^Is such a thing even possible in video games?

Lecavalier is out of the question that is for sure. Hemsky and brier on the other hand are reasonable. More reasonable then lecavalier in my opinion.

 

[HSF]

That zack smith for hemsky rumor is still floating around.

where?

 

[Stylizer1]

^Is such a thing even possible in video games?

If they had this game 20 years ago then probably.

This gives us a solid line up. You tell alfie we are going for it and take a cut. Give Briere and Lecavalier maybe a bit more and the Hemsky trade looks good.

 

[Super Cake]

where?

I read it on hockey buzz, i think it was actually just a blogger for the edmonton oilers who was talking about what the oilers needed to do. He brought up that the oilers needed a 3rd line center and that is where zack smith for hemsky came up.

The salary retention is only20%.

 

[HavlatMach9]

I read it on hockey buzz,

That's like announcing to the world that you're insane.

 

[Qward]

The salary retention is only20%.

sorry, saw "20% of Hemsky salary(1,000,000)" and glazed over the rest thinking you meant we only pay him 1m

 

[Emerica]

I read it on hockey buzz, i think it was actually just a blogger for the edmonton oilers who said that his best guess was that the oilers would trade hemsky for smith.

Chances are that Edmonton Oilers blogger has 0 sources, like most of the bloggers on Hockeybuzz. It's just speculation, not a legit rumor.

 

[Super Cake]

That's like announcing to the world that you're insane.

Dude, hockey buzz does come out with legitimate information from time to time.

 

[Qward]

Most bloggers have no inside info. So they make stuff up. They try to think, "if I was the GM, what would i do?" Then say they are hearing a rumor."

Richard cloutier? Oh boy.

 

[Benjamin]

Hockeybuzz releases so much stuff as rumours there bound to get someone similar to an actual deal.

Lecavalier is looking for term. Give him 4 yrs/18 million.

Briere could use a bit of a bump up in salary but on the open market he is not getting anywhere near what he signed for in Philly.

Alfie is due what he wants, I know, but realistically he is only coming back for the opportunity to win. Him taking a pay cut helps with that. Bump him up to 4, Why not.

With this line up and other top teams in the east shedding players I think we would be in a very good position to make a run.

An overhaul like this is what we need if we are going to a run. Not to mention if Spezza's back gives out again we have a good back up plan in Vinny stepping and Turris fillng the 2C spot.

You are going to be disappointed. Its not happening sorry to say. Alfie is the type of player to take a pay cut, but that still would not be enough to acquire both lecavalier and briere.

 

[Sensinitis]

I'd be cool with this actually. Not the biggest Bieksa fan, nor the biggest Iggy fan, but that would be fine.

avatar... your...

We will soon see what their prices are.
