cant believe st. louis cant get over this ... it wasnt all yzermans decision to not include him on the original olympic roster ... babcock didnt like his game for some reason (prob cause hes a midget )

me thinks yzerman quit as team canada gm 1 olympics too late

 

[jstewismybastardson]

btw if rags get st louis ... will there still be plans to buy Brad Richards out this offseason using their compliance buyout or will they just reunite them and buyout Richards a couple years from now ?

*Rangers

I don't think Richie will be bought out either way.

I guess it all depends on how it was handled behind closed doors. If Stevie said "I will make it happen for you" and failed to deliver. Or if Marty found out (as Jack Johnson did) by watching TV, those things can sting.

And maybe Marty is just tired of living in Florida. I can't imagine I'd be able to take it for a long time. Some people and some places just don't mix. Doesn't he live near NYC in the off season?


I am actually worried about what the relationship between Jack Johnson and Todd Richards is like now. I saw an Interview on TV last night where JJ said he went away and didn't pay much attention to the Olympics at all. Not sure I buy it, but he said it was good to clear his head and get focused.

MSL lives in Connecticut in the offseason and has always wanted to play towards the end of his career near it. example, us. He has made it known that we're the only team he will waive to be traded to.

@ChrisBottaNHL:

Isles, justly, insisting on 1st rounder for A MacDonald. Low $550K salary a plus to contenders needing D. Lots of interest.

James Kneel for Squidy?!? Do it Burkie!

@RealKyper: Bolland seeking 7 or 8 yr Leafs extension that could max out over 40m. Is he worth it?

hes played 15 games for the leafs ... so i think the leafs should go for it

He completely failed when given a chance with good linemates last season and was essentially playing on the 4th line at the end of the year. One Stanley Cup winning goal and 15 good games and now half of Toronto thinks he's a two-way superstar.

Having a one team list doesn't exactly strengthen your trade request. If I were the Lightning I'd probably just keep him.

So you're saying a 10 year 75 MM deal is likely

If Tampa Bay GM Steve Yzerman does decide to move St. Louis, where are the best fits for both team and player? These teams (in no particular order) make most sense:

1. New York Rangers. St. Louis holds a full no-trade clause, giving him control of his destination in a deal. And because he makes his off-season home in Connecticut, the Blueshirts are rumored to be his first, and perhaps only choice. Rangers captain Ryan Callahan’s name is most prominently mentioned, but the pending unrestricted free agent would need to agree to a contract extension first, and there would likely need to be a draft pick or prospect added to the pot to make the deal palatable for Yzerman.

2. Los Angeles Kings. The Kings have for months been rumored to be on the hunt for offense and St. Louis certainly would help in that regard. L.A. GM Dean Lombardi doesn’t shy away from these types of moves in mid-season and with his team fighting for their playoff lives, a shake-up of significant proportions could be in order.

3. Pittsburgh Penguins. The Penguins’ organizational coffers have been depleted in recent years by GM Ray Shero’s wheeling and dealing, but don’t kid yourself: Shero will always have interest in a veteran winner such as St. Louis, who is only under contract for next season and might be more amenable to playing outside of Manhattan if he knew he were playing on a line with Sidney Crosby. Shero may need to get a third team involve to satisfy Yzerman’s demands, but again, don’t think he’s not capable of doing so.

4. Philadelphia Flyers. You can’t speak of teams seemingly forever in the mix for the league’s top players without mentioning Ed Snider’s Flyers. St. Louis’ former Lightning colleague Vincent Lecavalier now plays in Philly, which isn’t all that far from the greater New York City area. The Flyers also usually throw caution to the wind – at least, compared to most teams – when it comes to making big plays on the trade front. Remember, few believed Lecavalier would be a Flyer, either.

The big question is how many teams are on Marty's list?

 

[mattola]

Average 24 Trades after an Olympic Break
Average 19 Trades on a NON Olympic Break

97-98 NHL season - 19 trades on deadline day Olympic Break
98-99 NHL season - 21 trades on deadline day
99-00 NHL season - 14 trades on deadline day
00-01 NHL season - 20 trades on deadline day
01-02 NHL season - 18 trades on deadline day Olympic Break

12-13 NHL season - 17 trades on deadline day
13-14 NHL season - ?? trades on deadline day Olympic Break


wonder how many we will see. Not much of a difference in a break year or not. the non break years are kinda of skewed a bit by a full lockout (fuck you bettman) and a 1/2 lock out (again fuck you bettman) but the numbers are close. each time after the break the trades seem to be full of action

Well he has officially told Stevie Y he wants to be traded and the only team he will waive for is us.
Maybe Stammer isn't as close to returning as some say and this effects this?
Also, Sather has said he will add in one of Fast/Kristo/Bourque in a deal with Callahan.

Is Marty quoted as to saying that?

On my phone so everything youneed to know is on this site SNY Rangers Blog | A New York Rangers Blog That Goes Into The Corners

All taken from Bob McKenzie of TSN.

 

[Johnnydollaz89]

McKenzie also just said that Kesler and Edler are on the block in Vancouver and can see a Stepan or Ryan Johanson return for Kesler.

Players along that line will be what it takes for Kesler, though, don't see that happening.

 

[Jims_Doors]

Cool....thanks man.

That would be nuts. Kesler is a good player, but the injuries have worn him down. Edler has a long term deal at 5M per & a no trade clause. I read on some blog that a Vanek for Edler deal is possible. I really don't see how. Why in the World would Vancouver trade Edler for an UFA to be who's not going to resign with them. I had to laugh.

they can be on the block all they want but if they dont waive the NTC then its meaningless.
