I am not curious in nonsense.You're not even a little curious??

I don’t whine when they don’t happen.Why not? Can't the guy just be interested in trades for the sake of it? Why are you here, aren't you interested in trades too? This is a "Trade Rumors and F/A talk" section isn't it?
Maybe I’m off just because I don’t watch a lot of Florida, but Barkov is not a clear cut top 10 center: Crosby, McDavid, Malkin, Matthews, Kopitar, Tavares, Stamkos, MacKinnon, Scheifelie, Seguin, Giroux and Eichel. I’d personally put ahead with lots close. Now don’t get me wrong, I think Barkov is phenomenal and I’m not arguing that.
I’d also think these teams (obvious west cost bias) have better overall center depth. Ducks (Getzlaf, Kessler, Henrique, Vermette), Stars (Seguin, Spezza, Hanzal, Faska), Preds (Johansson, Turris, Bonino, Sissons).
I don’t whine when they don’t happen.
I don’t post things like “TRADES!!! TRADES!!! I CRAAAAAAAAAAVE TRADES!!!” as I have seen here before.
My original post stands.
I am asking why you need them so badly. And did you lose respect for yzerman? Gain respect for Bourque?Whatdya want, a medal? Maybe Santa will bring you one this Christmas!
I still don't "get" why you're here? To tell people how to think, what to want and not want? Look in the mirror and figure yourself out before dumping on a fellow poster. We're here to discuss trades etc.
You've got me mixed up with the other guy.I am asking why you need them so badly. And did you lose respect for yzerman? Gain respect for Bourque?
I’m asking you now, new amigo.You've got me mixed up with the other guy.
There's also a couple of pretty decent centers in Boston, ever hear about some guy named Bergeron and another named Krejci?
How about Penguins with Crosby/Malkin or WSH with Backstrom/Kuznetsov or Toronto with Matthews/Kadri/Bozak/Marner or Montreal with 10 wingers, Plekanec, and a positionally confused Galchenyuk?
We're talking about teams with the best center depth in the league and you bring up Montreal...................................................................................................
....
Oilers...The Pageau to Florida rumors make no sense.
We are the deepest team in the league down the middle...unless it's something like Bjugstad+ for Hoffman and Pageau.
As I said I have an obvious West cost bias and named the teams that popped to the top of my head. With that being said I think I'd rather have Troch and Bark over Berg and Krej.
I have no idea whatever the **** it is you're trying to ask or say. Confusing a debate with nonsense doesn't mean you win it.I’m asking you now, new amigo.
I’m asking you to answer. I don’t want to “win”. I am curious about your answers.I have no idea whatever the **** it is you're trying to ask or say. Confusing a debate with nonsense doesn't mean you win it.
To what??? I don't understand WHAT you're asking?I’m asking you to answer. I don’t want to “win”. I am curious about your answers.
erne and a 2nd for ghetto a 4th and a 5th
Hawks D has finally settled in and has a pretty solid 5v5 team lately.
Most notably forsling has made a jump this year, Murphy has settled in incredibly well on his off side, rutta has been very steady as a top 4d, and osterle/kempny have filled in nicely when called upon.
Keith hasn't been Norris caliber but has been helping new guys on the job so his performance should be given some concession and still plays legit no.1 d. Seabrook has been much better since Ulf started giving forsling and rutta more d zone starts and limiting seabrook minutes
All that being said, Hawks are rolling a good 8D and can't see them being interested in Cole at all whose main game is to sit in the defensive zone and eat pucks. One of the main reasons they got rid of hjalmarsson was to get more mobile and active from the dmen which Murphy is better at. Would be a step back to now trade for hjalmarsson lite
you have a 25 year old with one 40pt season to his name as a 2c? he had 14pts in 54 games last year.
Barkov - top 15C
Trochek - High end 2C
Bjugstad - 3C
McCann - 4C that is turning into a 3C
panthers are strong down the middle, but im pretty sure they are well behind a few teams.
the leafs for example, had a 40g #1C, 32g #2C and 55pt #3C
Matthews> Barkov
Kadri < Trochek
Bozak > Bjugstad
I'm not avs fanJust so you know, not everyone is intimately interested enough in your team to know nicknames, use their real names if possible
Still starving.
HFBoards,
What's out there that we can chew on?
Discuss these points because the pre-trade freeze was pretty uneventful.
* The Calgary Flames and Ottawa Senators have been in talks (almost everyone is talking to Ottawa it appears)...however Calgary is very high on Mike Hoffman...Keeping an eye on that one...
* The Penguins would really like to find a new home for Ian Cole...the latest team I have heard is Chicago...
* The Panthers have been looking around a lot as well....the latest I have heard is Mrazek to Florida (e3) but I know they are also interested in Pageau in Ottawa...
* The Leafs are talking to the NY Rangers...but not about JvR as far as I can tell...Bozak is a possibility...
