Draft Day Trade GNT:

Versteeg is not worth #15 IMO. If I were Florida, I'd want more.

1) Dale Tallon slurps him
2) Panthers dont want to take on any more salary than Versteegs
3) probably some other non first round pick would have to be included

Sutter apparently trying to swing a deal to acquire a 1st round pick. They're howling about this in the desert.

Wouldn't expect anything less from a bunch of Coyotes.

@mattsekeres Canucks contemplating trading for Florida D Keith Ballard. Another scenario involves Vancouver's 25th overall pick.

this was last year

Third-round choice
Over $1,506,716 to $3,013,434 Second-round choice
Over $3,013,434 to $4,520,150 First-round and third-round choice

also ... the third tier offer sheet that goes up to 3.013 million dollars ... does that compensation 2nd round pick have to be your own pick or can it be a pick you acquired from someone else?

sorry was not complete



Florida may have asked for both Mason Raymond and 25th overall pick for D Keith Ballard. Canucks won't do that, but the sides are close.

It changes from year to year depending on average player salary for the year prior I believe.

Nope, it's got to be your own original pick.

I knew filo would pipe in...Good on ya.

have the 2010-11 numbers been released yet?

Everybody got your popcorn ready for the draft...

 

[filosofy29]

have the 2010-11 numbers been released yet?

Sorry JStew, I'm a retard. No, I haven't been able to find them anywhere on an official website yet so I can't help. I think that those numbers have risen just a tiny bit though for the coming season. However, I'm sure that the GM's have a firm idea of what it is.

 

[puckhead]

if i put myself in the shoes of Dan Hamhuis, why would i sign with a team before July 1st even if they traded for my neg rights. Especially if they are not offering what might be available come July 1st on the open market

yup. Hamhuis doesn't owe Philly anything at this point. ask for the sky now ,and you can still sign with Philly for whatever after July 1 if i fits.

Canucks front runner to land Keith Ballard from Florida. no word on return.. various TSN sources on twitter

does that mean we are not the front runner for Mitchell?
though 13 d-men to start the year last seaosn wasn't enough, so who knows.

I'd have done that. Eberle will be better than Seguin.

Eberle is just flat out clutch. I tend to agree.

gah, apparently i have to go out to eat and to a car show with the fam. i wanna watch the draft! buh.

I was on a little sabbatical due to a fly in the ointment.....I haven't seen that fly around recently so I thought I'd chime in with a lame joke ~

Well played worthy adversary. ;-)

 

[pixburgher66]

looking through my tweets there's a lot of movement with the nucks. they seem on the forefront of everything.

 

[Destroydacre]

It's just the first round today, correct?

 

[pixburgher66]

yup. 2-7 tomorrow at 1pm i believe.

and ill sadly bet the only thing they end up doing is trading down, out of the first round
