Exactly. Krejci looks dominant because the Bruins are dominant. If he were on the Oilers, there wouldn't be a Lucic opening up room for him or a Chara & Rask covering for him.

I made the exact same trade...but losing Labarbara and adding Wilson, Alzner, Neuvirth..hell ask for a 1st too...as Yak will be a beast.
we used to have guys that hit but apparently we want guys who can skate away real fast...and skate backwards real fast to lay out red carpet for opposition shooters. we dont like guys who stand people up and protect the slot. thats not hockey that wins cups. hockey that winss cups and ...WINS... is roses, and marmalade, and daisies, and running with flailing hands. Havent you caught on yet? i heard the pink jerseys and tutus are coming soon.
So while other teams have systems where forwards do defence properly or not play...and thus defencemen can be men... and play defence... we have a bunch of pretty faced elves from lord of the rings, so fair, and so pure... flying ...flying...to golf courses early

some guy on the main board is saying that dubnyk has been traded to pittsburgh for paul martin and we recalled bachman. Bryz is apparently also signing a one year deal this week or something too.
He says it was reported on Team1260 in Edmonton. Any truth to this?
edit: It is now off the boards so it may be just a load of **** although he has a thread up on the Oilers board now I see, although it's been closed too.

That's weird. Don't buy it though. All those moves happening at once? And Fleury has been playing well are they even looking for another goalie (especially at Dubs caphit)?

Not saying I believe it either, but they were sending Paul Martin back our way according to that guy.
Paul Martin is a joke. So is Dubnyk but at least he's a goalie.
Remember Ferraro mocking him off mic?

That would certainly be significant.
Doesn't seem plausible though, cap-hit issues, Vokoun/Fleury tandem in Pittsburg, seems like a poor fit.

**POOF** it's gone again, but I did read it before it disappeared. This would have to be on Strudwick's show and I don't think he's ever broken anything, especially at 10:30 p.m. But for fun...since Vokun is expected to be out 3-6 months with the blood clot issues he has, I had a look at their roster and their backup for Fleury is someone I am unfamiliar with (Jeff Zatkoff). Maybe they are interested in Dubnyk, it is a plausible scenario. I think this is more speculative talk because I can't see Bryzgalov signing here and I can't see MacT rolling with Labarbara-Bachman for too long. Brygalov also likes his warm climates too much, hence why he is in Las Vegas.
Penguins fan here... no way this is happening. Paul Martin had a big rebound last year after a bad 2011-12 season and is off to a very good start this year. Vokoun had a blood clot and is out 3-6 months, but for now the Penguins are going with Jeff Zatkoff backing up Fleury.
Besides, trading Paul Martin straight up for Dubnyk would just be beyond stupid for Ray Shero to do. And Martin has a movement clause in his contract.

Again, devils advocate here, but Vokoun is out 6 months from his blood clot apparently and I think (without actually checking out CapGeek) that Dubnyk and Paul Martin have the same caphit. Again, could be completely wrong here.
Still ridiculous. Would certainly be a "bold" move.
- Don't see how Bryz is an upgrade or even on par with Dubey
- Letang is still out of the lineup, doubt they trade Martin with their lack of D depth
- Bryz is the type of guy you steer clear of when attempting to stabilize a team
- Martin is not the answer to our D problems
I call BS.

Paul Martin has a 5 million dollar caphit for 2 more years.
Dubnyk is 3.5 until the end of the season.

Fair enough.
Regardless, Martin is past his prime as a viable #2 dman and his cap hit is horrendous for this team.
Not to mention the headache Bryz would bring...

Four good reasons as to why this should not happen, unfortunately, four reasons absurd enough that suggest our equally as absurd management team would go ahead and do it

No chance in h ell that we run a Labarbera/Bachman tandem!
If we trade Dubie, you can be sure that a goalie comes back!
