And we also got him for Kris Russell. 2nd pairing on the Bluejackets isnt necessarily a ringing endorsement. He looked good on a team that finished 30th in the NHL, I just dont value him that high after 1 season. I just dont see him being worth a 1st rounder....at least I wouldnt give a 1st for him
What would we have to ADD to Nikitin to get one of EDM's young NHL wingers?
This thread reminds me, what ever happened to Linus Omark?!? He seems buried down in OKC.
He's playing in Europe
So we get a ripoff deal in our favor, in which a guy comes in and abruptly gives us one of the better pairings in the NHL, then he promptly gets resigned to a fantastic contract... and we now want to trade him for a second round pick or two and a 20-30 point winger, apparently because he had a bad game and a half or so.
Makes ferpect cents.
Have you seen him last year when Tyutin was injured?You realize Nikitin without Tyutin would be like Sonny without Cher. It'd be like Starsky without Hutch. It'd be Abbott without that other guy!

Kent Brockman: Tonight on Eyewitness News: A man who's been in a coma for 23 years wakes up.
Man: (In a hospital room) Do Sonny and Cher still have that stupid show?
Kent Brockman: No, she won an Oscar, and he's a congressman.
Man: Good night! (he flatlines)
He'll be here all week. Tip your waiter.
P.S. Sonny died a few years ago - head trauma from a skiing accident.
Line from "The Simpsons". It was so long ago that "The X-Files" was still on.
Here's another.
Lisa: Hey, I am above average! So what if Alison's ahead of me? There's no shame in being second.

Announcer: And now, Avis Rent-A-Car is proud to present the second best band in America. Will you welcome Garfunkel, Messina, Oates, and Lisa singing their number two hit, "Born to Runner-up".
[Audience boos]
Lisa: Why would they come to our concert just to boo us?
Yup, I remember. It was a few days after Michael Kennedy.
Although I don't think Sonny was drinking while playing football on skis.
Nikita for Paraarvi
I think EDM does it in a heartbeat, but it would be terrible for CBJ. MPS is an undersized forward which will not click with the CBJ system
Seriously, guys, this EDM fan is making an interesting suggestion. We do have dman depth from which to make a trade for additional offensive prospects. This is the kind of thing that I feel more comfortable about knowing it would be handled under the watchful eye of JD. I have a hunch, however, that JD will not be making any immediate moves and will instead let most of this year play out while he evaluates what we have on hand and compares it to the draft class. Picking up another second rounder or two would certainly make for the possibility of permanently altering the future of this franchise with all of the picks we would have in the first three rounds of a very deep draft.
Yea, that is why Atkinson, and Calvert stuck with the team and JAM is waiting in the wings in Springy.
Don't be so fast . They combined for 1 point so far, and Calvert is -6 right now. It's not for long.
I agree with this comment. I don't think JD pulls the trigger on any trades until he has a good handle on what he has, and what he feels he can get in return for them. Unless something comes down the pike that he just can't refuse, I don't think we see much happen on the trade front until the draft.

But, do we really want an entire team full of mighty mights that get pushed around on a regular basis?
