FA Game #5 by SF, RR, and IR4

[New York RKY]

Annoyingly wait for a certain commissioner to approve the deal (yea you know who you are) .

 

[The Instigator]

looking for a high quality center to play with Semin. Green, Schultz, picks, prospects, Fehr, and one of are goalies are pieces being shopped to get one.

 

[IslesRock4]

Haven't been able to get anything done on the forward front. We'd like to at least get a good top 6 winger before free agency. #9, #40, Jordan Caron, Ryan Spooner, Kabs' rights are available among others. Rask would be a tough move.

'Nucks acquire a big-body presence

The Canucks have acquired David Jones and Brandon Yip to help their top top-9 forward group. In exchange they gave up Cory Schneider Mikael Samuelsson and VAN 2011 2nd​

With this deal, we are turning our attention to acquiring a few top-4 D-men. All picks and prospects are available. Some of our pending UFA's were foolishly warned by their agents to wait until FA.

confirm.

We firmly believe Cory Schneider is ready for prime-time and will be the Avs goaltender starting now and for years to come. And Mikael Samuelsson brings a solid veteran forward to our top-9. He plays an excellent two-way game and can contribute on the power play. We also added a 2nd round pick.

We know we gave up a lot in David and Brandon, but we think the price was worth it to get a kid like Schneider, a vet like Samuelsson, and another draft pick we can use during the draft or as a chip in another deal.

 

[TLinden]

We want to trade stuff.

 

[IslesRock4]

We want to trade stuff.

We agree, trading stuff is fun!

 

[Regina Pat]

We want to trade stuff.

We agree, trading stuff is fun!

Us too. Cristobal Huet and Brian Campbell available.

 

[TLinden]

Us too. Cristobal Huet and Brian Campbell available.

Don't think you're going to see much trade-wise with that on the block.

 

[YoSoyLalo]

I desperately need a #1 center.

1st rounder, MacLean/Gormley/Boedker, and possibly OEL all available for that.

 

[New York RKY]

Big splash coming out of the Stars' camp.

An effort to possibly convince Brad Richards to stay.

Details to come later.

Blockbuster


Marian Hossa
Troy Brouwer (RFA rights)
Shawn Lalonde


Steve Ott
Nicklas Grossman
Tomas Vincour
Matt Fraser
DAL 1st 2011

This took quite a while to piece together, but in the end, it all worked out. The Hawks come away happy here, we've added gritty and fiesty centre Steve Ott, and #5 Defenseman in Nicklas Grossman, a couple of talented young forward with Vincour and Fraser, and the 14th Overall pick in 2011.

With this, the 14th and 18th Overall picks are available for a top 6 forward on a good contract.

Thanks to Marian and Troy for their time here, and ILRB for getting the deal done after 3 failed attempts. ​

Trade

To Hawks
2nd round pick (42nd)

To Canes
LW/RW Michael Frolik

We are happy with this deal as we like Frolik's upside and he is the type of young NHL proven talent our roster needs

He wasn't in my plan. Thats it.

 

[C-Saku Koivu MTL]

Andrei Kostitsyn, Benoit Pouliot, Yannick Weber, some prospect (Kristo, Palushaj, Avtsin, Carle notably) and possibly the 17th overall pick.

All on the block, looking for defenceman mostly, a foward could interest us.

PM if any of those assets interest with assets of you own you have available.

 

[Jamie Benn]

would like to a deal or two.

TRADECENTRE

Semi-Retired GM T_Cage has once again joined the panel to take a look at the pre-draft trading frenzy and give his thoughts. Does anyone care? Not really...but you'd be surprised how little that deters me.

To FLA: #6, Nick Foligno, Patrick Weiroch
To OTT: #3
I dunno if I like this move. Ottawa obviously has ' a guy' they are gunning more. If they guess right, they win this trade...but it's an awful lot to give up if they swing and miss
To NSH: Tyler Seguin
To BOS: Ryan Suter
Wow.....Proven vs potential, but I love this trade, one of the better ones i've seen. I really like that it fills a need for NSH up front
To TOR: Dadynov + 4th
To FLA: Bozak
Value favours Toronto, but only b/c Bozak's stock had fallen. Selling low isn't a great strategy, so this may come back to bite them
To PHX: Clayton Stoner + 5th
To MIN: Taylor Pyatt
Not a Pyatt fan. He's a replaceable player, and the 5th is a crapshoot. Stoner is a solid prospect though, so i give this to PHX
To PHX: Eric Nystrom
To MIN: Michael Stone + 4th
Good move for PHX, grabbing a quality Bottom 6er for 2 small assets. They definately get value here
To SJ: Brent Burns
To MIN: 1st, 2nd, McGinn, Petrecki, Ferrerio
Really not a fan of this for the Wild. The value isn't too bad, but I'd rather have 1 great piece than 5 decent ones. Stars are hard to come by, secondary pieces are plentiful

Waddya think about the Vancouver/Colorado trade?

 

[SixthSens]

Willing to deal the 21st pick in this years draft straight up for a young forward.

 

[Regina Pat]

Waddya think about the Vancouver/Colorado trade?

..and the Dallas/Chicago deal?

 

[TLinden]

We might be heading to FA with our current roster, Deals falling left and right here. We need a #1 D man and some grittier, younger players.
