Would you make a trade?

[lasgop8]

He won't get traded inside the division

I wouldn't want him back anyway. I loved when he was playing well for us but by seasons end I was hating him because he was to slow.

I think the reason you wouldn't want him back would be giving up an asset for someone possibly being here for only a month+, not that he's too slow - even at where he's at in his career, he's still very good, but I think asset management is key - if he still wants to play after this season, then I'd absolutely look to signing him if the price is fair, but I don't think giving up something for him now is prudent

I definitely don't want to give up any assets for him and just don't want him back in general.Even for the right price he is at this point in his career a good player for 75% of the season but wears down and is a liability late into the season and playoffs.

Sekera fetches a 1st and McKeown

Good deal for both teams

And this too:

Yeah both teams gets what they wanted. Nice condition by Lombardi.

Wish we weren't in such a tough spot between playoffs and not right now

I was reading some things about Roland McKeown on how he's struggled this season but I'm sure he'll turn it around

I wonder if that's the type of deal they could have fetched for MDZ(a 1st and a d-man prospect) if they wanted to move him

 

[chy1127]

I still say we need to move at least 1 of our 5 highest paid Dmen. Teams that appear to be buyers that could use defensive depth are the Wild, Ducks, Habs, Sharks, Blues, Lightning and Canucks. In a deep draft we don't have a 2nd round pick. In order of value we have Coburn, Grossmann and Schenn (some value because he is a right handed shot). MDZ is only 24 so he would be useful to keep.

I would think someone takes Coburn off our hands at the very least.

The Ducks have injuries on the back end. Sharks need help as do Canucks.

Somewhere I thought I saw Coburn linked with TB. There defense is getting thin with injuries.

I saw something since Carle is out a few weeks. I would rather see him go west.

Eklund says we are undecided between buying and selling but that the Ducks and Flames have major interest in Grossmann.

I don't care if you're 1st in the league, if you have Kimmo coming back and teams wants to pay up for Grossmann you take it.

absolutely.

side note: if the Flyers make a buyer move, I will be writing Hextall a strongly worded letter.

I think "buying" for us just means not selling.

If Hextall actually buys at the deadline then any plan he has for building for the future is gone.

Eklund is usually a major dumb ass when it comes to rumors. I have been, however, saying the Ducks could be a play for Coburn, so Grossmann to them is not far fetched. Either Eklund is getting smarter or I have dropped to dumb ass level.

are you leaving that up to us to determine?

Sell sell sell!!!!

Notice I did not make it a poll question.

@Eklund: Colaiacovo NOT on waivers means 2 things. #1 If Timonen is to play a trade needs to happen…#2 I will have to spell Colaiacovo again.

I'm going to be absolutely heartbroken if Kimmo doesn't play tomorrow. I've been getting really excited
