Pens fans have a 41 page thread on the Lovejoy trade
anyone have the recording of the Hexy interview? transcript? I can't find a thing....
B. Schenn has to be gone sooner than later since Sanheim doesn't like him.
Both Schenn ($3.6M) and Grossmann ($3.5M) are on the last year of their contracts. I can't see paying either of them that sort of money on extensions. Grossmann may like it here and be willing to sign for a million less but that Schenn contract isn't worth it much less increasing. Gudas is cheap; he might be worth keeping at a third pairing rate.He also seemingly inferred that a Dman is on their way out in summer... either Schenn or Grossmann.
His talking about:
Possibly moving more D men.
Shedding more salary on D.
Making space for youth on the backend.
Guys contracts expiring in the next year. (Only Grossmann, L. Schenn and Gudas have expiring contracts as D men next season.)
The logistics of the situation.
All pointed in that direction.
There is a fantastic thread bump from June 2014 about Baertschi to Vancouver on the Trade Rumours and FA board, including a Baertschi for Vancouver's 2014 1st rounder AND Vancouver's 2015 1st rounder.
HFBoards classic prospect overrating.
I just bumped the Sven vs Flyers prospects thread in the polls section. I tried to be objective to ask if the trade to the Canucks gives him a better chance to succeed since they wouldn't trade for him if they didn't see top 6 potential still.
I am sure there will be some Flames fans *****ing about the bump, but how can actually view thing when asking about the future if you don't go and keep looking for updates and compare to the past.
Here is the link.

I'm sure some people who said Sven was better than all or prospects might be upset at this bump.
