Sign me up for Florida if still available...if not Philly.
Florida GM's message to fellow HF managers: If you have a Top 10 pick, preferably Top 6, feel free to make your own combination of these players/prospects/picks and your own pick + players/prospects if necessary:
Florida willing to move:
Olli Jokinen, Stephen Weiss, Niklas Hagman, Kristian Huselius, Denis Shvidki, Dany Roussin (Buffalo may interested in bringing him in to play with Sid), Branislav Mezei, Mathieu Biron, Filip Novak, #30 overall pick, #31 overall pick, Florida's 1st and 2nd rounders in 2006.
Here's my pitch for Crosby:
To Pittsburgh:
Bowmeester, Jokinen, Weiss, Horton, Krajicek, Florida's 1st round picks in 2006, 2007 and 2008.
To Florida:
Rights to the First Overall Pick and Sidney Crosby.
That's a LOT of young talent, but that's what it is going to take for Pittsburgh's GM to even pick up the phone. Too bad the Pens don't need a goalie or Luongo would be added and Bowmeester and/or Jokinen substracted.
P.S. Bowmeester, Horton, Krajicek and multiple first round picks in coming years are only being offered for Crosby. First round pick in 2006 can still be included in a package for Top 6 pick.
