Eriksson is a winger.
I know, but they always seem to lose their #1 center. They traded Roy and let Richards go.

I wonder if the Hawks have any intentions at all of resigning Stalberg after this season?
I wouldn't be against trading a conditional 6th or 7th round pick in 2014 to pick up his negotiating rights once trading opens up again.
Pick up his rights and sign him to a 2 year 7M contract, or 3 years 10.5M.
He would do wonders on the line with Duchene and PAP IMO. Pefect mix of speed, skill, size, and grit. Actually a pretty rare player to have all that speed, and skill yet still be 6"3.
Stalberg - Duchene - PAP
McGinn - Stastny - Jones/UFA(If we buy out Jones)
Landeskog - ROR - Downie
McCleod - Malkin - Olver

So if you don't believe Corsi, do you believe Blues fans saying L.A is exposing Shattenkirk and Leopold when they get their top lineups out there? Or the fact that in their biggest game of the season, Shatty plays the least amount of minutes of all defencemen on St. Louis?Uh...OK.
But the (rather massive) flaw I find in your argument, is that you place playing success at the feet of (relatively) first time players, rather than years-long proven players, including a multiple-time Norris finalist. The shelling of Shattenkirk at the feet of Corsi stats was worthy of all-star homerism, but now we're taking on Shea Weber? This is even worse than the "EJ is playing well now because Hunwick is" stuff that was posted last month. Much worse.
I realize every one if us has our homer moments to try and make our players look as good as possible, particularly in dire times. And sometimes the homer moments get a bit out of hand. But this? Come on, guys. Seriously.

Who is available in Colorado?
What would it take to get Paul Statsny?

More than you would pay, that's been made quite clear throughout the discussions in the past.
In fact, needing to trade him for a top pairing defender won't be as much of a priority after the draft either.
I personally think we won't get the value needed to make it worth trading him.

I've seen a lot of folks state we need a top 6 winger to play with Duchene and PAP. I think it would be nice to have an upgrade there but am okay with what we have in the system but having seen this quite a few times it got me wondering...is it really just a generic upgrade that folks want or a certain type of player that is currently missing?
Personally, I'd like a clone of a healthy mid 2000s Svatos. With Duchene and PAP I think the AVs need a player who is great at getting into scoring positions and quickly receiving a pass and putting it on goal. I really haven't watched other teams near as much as I used to since I got CI because I pretty much have been glued to the AVs. Who would be considered a comparable player? Are there any similar players coming up in FA or that might be had in trade?
You brought the notion of "facts" into this conversation. I simply stated the facts and as we have both said the facts are based off of a small sample size. Facts really have nothing to do with projecting what a player may turn out to be. Projections are mostly based on opinions and not really facts but you wanted to go to the facts.
You can project Barrie or Elliott to be whatever you'd like but in my opinion I think they are both being over-hyped by a lot of people on HFBoards. I see them to be OK offensively but nothing special and a bit below average defensively.

don't you guys think Statsny is being overrated just a little bit, simply because he plays third line minutes on your team and is below Duchenne and ROR in the depth chart?
And whats with all this sarcasm? I'm not sure what discussion you guys had with other Leafs Board members, but I wasn't part of that. Sheesh kabobs people, take it easy.

I think reality will strike most Avs fans hard when they see the return we get for Stastny when he is traded.
Right now, I can't imagine his value being high at all.
