Rumor: Daley wants out?

[Bench]

Burke sued an hfboards user? What a *****e.

Posters here were dishing rumors about an affair.

In a statement released on Friday, Burke's lawyer Peter Gall said the comments, allegedly made under pseudonyms such as "Slobberface" and "Mowerman," are false and defamatory, and that they have hurt both Burke's and Mae's families.

"Brian has decided that it is time to stop people who post comments on the Internet from thinking they can fabricate wild stories with impunity," Gall said. "Brian is determined to find the authors of the lie about him and those who have circulated the lie."

Last game looked like the first time he gave a shit all season so I’m inclined to believe he’s playing for something now.

 

[dragonballgtz]

I'll take whatever pick we can get for him.

 

[Lazlo Hollyfeld]

A veteran player with a modified NTC informs the GM that he's interested in being traded. To me that's nothing but a positive.

Daley gets to put 15 teams on his no-trade list so if he wanted to he could eliminate almost every playoff team, making it nearly impossible to trade him.

A vet in his last year of professional hockey wants off the worst team in the league for one more shot at a cup if possible? Color me shocked.

I don't think there is a playoff eligible team that wouldn't be better served searching their own AHL team as opposed to trading for Daley.

I don't know, maybe it's worth a 5th, 6th or 7th to not disturb your AHL team and bring in a guy that could step out of the press box for a few minutes in an emergency.

But it's players like Daley that are the reason the Red Wings are so bad.

I hope we are not helping the pens.

Sending the Pens Daley would be a hinderance to them.

Daley hasn't been an NHL caliber player since about the middle of last season.

So we absolutely need to send him there.

 

[Ghost of Ethan Hunt]

So we absolutely need to send him there.

I'm imagining a few deflections off his skate into the Pens net during round 1 at crucial times/overtime so they get swept again by NYI.

I do not know. On a good team he might be a very good player. Everyone looks better on that team because of Crosby and Malkin.

Yzerman needs to figure out what else to package with Daley and AA to land this kid from Pittsburgh:

Calen Addison

Daley would return via depth insurance as a 7D, and AA has the ceiling to be the speedy winger the Pens want. But Detroit would likely have to boost the offer a bit, with how well Addison is developing.

Addison is pretty good... but I don't want to move AA for a Right D.

 

[MBH]

Anybody a bit stunned that Daley thinks a contender wants him next year? Like, WTF, dude.

 

[kliq]

Not sure why anyone is upset about this. Daley simply told Yzerman that he wasn’t planning on re-signing. Regardless of whether Yzerman was planning on signing him or not, isn’t this the classy thing to do?

He’s not demanding a trade, he’s not ripping on his teammates, management, or ownership, and it all seems to have been done behind closed doors. Absolutely nothing wrong with this.

hopefully he nets us a late round pick.

Imagine suing people for posting immature comments on an internet forum! MORON BURKE MORON! He can sue me if he wishes, but he won't get much, so screw him!

Can you imagine if this whole thing came about because Yzerman actually approached Daley wanting to bring him back next season? If that got out, there's either a huge meltdown or a whole bunch of hilarious narrative shifts from "guy's not even worth a bag of pucks" to "smart move, trust the Yzerplan".

Who's upset? Great, get traded. Get us anything. Would be nothing but a positive. Point being made is that he's not worthy of a cup contender. He's a bad defenseman on a terrible team. Good luck finding a taker is the overriding sentiment here.

 

[WaW]

I can't freaking wait for Daley, Green, amd Ericsson's contracts to be off the books this summer. It's basically like having 3 Cody Cecis taking up a combined 12 mil in cap.

So yeah, if he wants out, trade him for half a bag of pucks, or at least a quarter bag

 

[Run the Jewels]

I'd be happy to trade him if at all possible. Not a big deal given the return would be a 4th rounder at best but he's not adding much of the "veteran presence" we've paid a premium for in the past.

 

[Squirrel in the Hole]

Pittsburgh could be a possibility, he played his best there. Wouldn't figure on getting much, though...

Just read the thread, many posters are clearly annoyed.

 

[Snuggs]

I'd be giving Dallas and Toronto a call. They can use some depth defense. Wouldn't expect anything other than a 7th rounder or a random prospect or maybe even a conditional pick.

Yeah...a conditional pick based on how many games he ISN'T injured.

Many posters? Lol there’s literally nobody here that’s mad about him wanting to leave

Not to mention the fact that requesting a trade makes perfect sense from his perspective. He's late in his career, he wants to compete for a cup/playoff spot, and the team he's currently on isn't going anywhere. Pretty sure anyone here would want out also if they were in his shoes.

 

[pz29]

So we absolutely need to send him there.

I like what you have done here. ;9
