Damn. Rorabaugh breaking trades via IRC? Thats old school.

Good. Now they can trade us Kulemin

Means someone may have to move though. Can't trade Bolland while injured. Kulemin on the move?

I would trust Brodeur WAAAAY more than Fleury in the playoffs.

It's not crazy to think Brodeur simply hasn't been able to adjust to being a backup.

Well, that's what he'd be here. If we acquire Brodeur and sit MAF for a guy we trade for a few weeks before the playoffs start, you better believe we're going to have a "I want out" situation with MAF. If you're going to risk that, the guy you bring in better not be retiring any second.

I just don't see Vokoun being as effective as he was last year with all this time off. Thats even if he gets back in time.

It's true, we live and die by MAF but Vokoun bailed him out last year. I'm not so sure it would go down like that this year.

If the cost is too high, yea. I'd pass.

Marty isn't happy being a backup. He'd backup Fleury here, and honestly, if Fleury implodes, it doesn't really matter who our backup is. None of the options will get us through, imo.

Get something going...

 

[trader997]

I'm content with Shero realizing this team doesn't have it this year. No need to give away more of the future for rentals.

I'm excited for Beau to get healthy and play alongside Sid.

If he did realize it, he would trade Orpik for a 1st round pick instead of losing him for nothing, and trade that same pick for Kesler straight up with another prospect without losing any assets. Kesler would be a solution on our 1st line going forward and we could keep Sutter on our 3rd.

 

[jmelm]

EDM retaining salary was a non-issue for us and how much cap space we have. But with their wealthy owner, they would rather take back salary on Hemsky and trade him for higher picks (OTT), than trade him to us at full value. Our picks will be 10-15 spots lower.

I am not sure if I have mentioned that I agree with this.

Same here. Unless Shero pulls a couple of rabbits out of a hat (0.01% chance), we're not going to be a legit cup contender this year, particularly without massively mortgaging our future.

Stewart may go for cheap. Much rather target him. I dont like the idea of bringing anyone in who cant skate.

I would love to get Stewart, but the problem is: we would likely not be able to sign Niskanen because of Stewart's $4.5 million salary next year. I would rather lose Orpik and keep Niskanen -- which is what I expect to happen -- as opposed to losing Nisky for potentially 5-7 years on an extension, just to have one year of an inconsistent Stewart.

You have to bring TV back when the docs give him a pass to play, it's not optional. We can't have four goalies.

Got excited for a moment:

Thanks for nothing, Yahoo.......

I guess I've finally warmed to the idea of Kulemin for cheap.

If only because our bottom-six is so abysmal that moving JJ down there might help a tad.

 

[Shrimper]

Doesn't the Flyers being out mean that we're apparently the only team left Kesler would waive for?

 

[Michael8771*]

I think moving Dumoulin would be a mistake. I think he'll be a solid bottom-pair guy for a decade.

I like Samuelson better, not really high on Dumoulin.

 

[Honour Over Glory]

Good. Now they can trade us Kulemin

Please let that happen.

I'd do the same trade the Sens just did for Hemsky, for Kulemin. A 3rd in 2015 and a 5th this year. Maybe a 4th instead of a 5th this year.

 

[WayneSid9987]

With the Kings grabbing Gaborik. Wondering if they pull in 1 of Moulson/Cammalerri too? If not they wouldn't be terrible options.

 

[Uemoda]

Anaheim, brah. (And maybe Detroit)

He only ruled out NYC as a no-go, if I remember correctly.

 

[AjaxTelamon]

He'll waive for Detroit, he played there a ton when he was younger. He's from Michigan. And have you been to Anaheim this time of year? I'd waive my NTC to go there.

 

[Pharrell Williams]

I'm bored. Just do someeeething solely for entertainment purposes. A 6th and a 7th for a 7th, why not.

 

[USMC607]

Kings get Gaborik huh?, Haven't seen him much since NY, besides when the pens played columbus.

Has he gotten over his Injury issues?

I think the value of these rentals is actually going down as teams with a desperate need for scoring (like LAK) make their deals.

90 minutes left.

Nope.

 

[Shrimper]

Gaborik being traded should bring dominoes, no?

 

[Dipsy Doodle]

90 minutes left.

Trades usually trickle in an hour after the official deadline too.

It's LA, it's where offense goes to die.

 

[Speaking Moistly]

I don't want to hate Shero. Don't make me hate you, Shero.
