Speculation: To trade, or not to trade: Filppula edition

[mindfly]

Would rather have Nathan Horton @ 4mil

I hope we deal him + spare dman for a scorer.

Sure. But Horton will get 5+ imo.

Sure. Bur Horton will get 5+ imo.

He is worth that, no doubt. I'd really like to invest that money on him rather than Filppula.

This.

Plus throw in a prospect and or depth player.

Same thing here.

Deal Flip for 1st or whatever.

Go hard after Horton. Probably only UFA there worth to go for.

Boston probably can't re-sign him. They are very tight with the cap.

Or if they do, they'll lose valuable depth somewhere and as div. rivals next year that doesn't hurt.

Jordan Staal is pretty much the same type of player as Flip. Defensively talented with offensive upside, borderline 2nd/3rd line center. Staal got 6 million a season, Flip will ask for 5.

That's a joke, right? Or sarcasm?
