Nash asked to be traded... and then provide five whole teams that he'd accept a trade to? I thought better of him. Would have liked to have seen him on NSH (or traded to VAN for Hodgson...)

 

[SpectreFire]

The question is... Which team?

He's going to take his talents to south beach.

 

[BigJonsson]

Not sure if this was posted already but the Blackhawks have acquired veteran defenseman Johnny Oduya from the Winnipeg Jets, according to multiple reports.

.........ya, just a bit late on that dude

 

[sazabirules]

This is what I have left looking forward to. It's not even guaranteed.

GM's fault for wanting such ridiculous returns.

 

[HadesGigas]

German D, signed as a UFA in training camp, healthy scratch lots. Another potential, but no room to play on the roster guy...

Is he on a one way contract? It'd be weird if Buffalo got him then placed him on waivers. Though I guess it could be another Ales Kotalik kind of thing "you have to take this guy too or no deal!"

 

[El Tigre]

Dreger:



Hm, four first-round picks. I would have done Kulemin for a 1st and called up Kadri.

Too bad they didn't trade Mac and Schenn.

how is being on an absolutely dreadful team his fault? (besides signing that 8 year extension)

 

[CrazedArabMan]

GMGM needs to fuck off finally. He didn't do a single thing to address our problems as a team. I know the 2C market was non-existent but our center depth doesn't exist. We must finally get a 2C during the summer.

I know, I wanted Semin.

 

[Fei]

Depth #7 defenseman. Plays for the German Olympic team, developed in the Pred's system so you pretty much know what you're getting in reliability in the D-Zone. He's not going to win you any games, but won't lose them either.

Nice - thanks. Sounds like a good #7 for Ruff's system.

I really do think that Kassian could turn out to be a great player, and this could look a lot different in 2-4 years. I don't get why the Canucks would drop a guy who seems to have arrived already, though.

 

[Spire]

Buffalo did pretty well after all those bad UFA signings in the summer. Them and Nashville are the winners of this boring ass deadline.

 

[indigo-cyclops]

that you shouldn't have him and i want fucking cody back.

So he's a solid D and we should be all good ?

I fucking love the look of our D - and with Hodgson our top 2 are looking nice.

 

[Red_Man]

Howson is fucking retarded.

Holy fuck yes, what is this guy smoking? He must have pulled out the whiskey at 8 this morning, he's off his rocker.

You guys will never learn. Enjoy another Russian flameout.

Standard. I don't see why they couldn't demote him but I guess given the guy's history he might bolt for Europe instead.

 

[gutter_trash]

imagine what Habs fans would say if Preds won the Cup lol (changes got upped)

Hodgson had 'C' taped to jersey at playful practice this morning. Now stands for "choked". Stunned by trade.

*cries*

We only had two UFA signings - Leino and Ehrhoff. Only one is remotely bad (And in this case, I mean a complete bust).

Your xenophobia against Russians is always strong. Bryz would make me bitter too.

 

[MiniDitka]

.........ya, just a bit late on that dude

Story of my life lol.

 

[KingHenrik30]

Been pretty proudly a 'Nucks supporter in these threads in the past. They're well liked in Buffalo in general, based on my personal experience.



I hope the Jackets get absolutely nothing for him.

Rangers final offer:

Dubinsky, Tim Erixon, J.T. Miller, Christian Thomas, 1st rounder 2012. In the summer they will be lucky to get Dubinsky from the Rangers for a player that wants out and has an NTC

 

[brucewaynegretzky]

I have yet to be proven wrong. Datsyuk is the exception that proves the rule to me.

 

[KingHenrik30]

NTC, dude.

Sather apparently offered us a 1st, Roszival and Zherdev for Heatley a few years ago :lol

But Heatley's agent leaked his trade request not us.

 

[bishoptl]

 

[HadesGigas]

Standard. I don't see why they couldn't demote him but I guess given the guy's history he might bolt for Europe instead.

Yeah, it seems like he'll be on the roster as the 6th or 7th guy. I just would probably rather see Buffalo go with 6 guys and call up Brayden McNabb or TJ Brennan as needed.

Anyone know who the 5 teams are?

 

[Cactus]

Anisimov, Malkin, Kulemin, Tyutin, Volchenkov, Kulikov, Kovalchuk (arguably)

 

[KingHenrik30]

That deal almost went down till Murray requested Dubinsky at the last minute.

 

[BigJonsson]

Presumably Toronto, San Jose, Rangers, Flyers, Kings

If you go by the rumours

 

[Plinko]

Dubinsky, Tim Erixon, J.T. Miller, Christian Thomas, 1st rounder 2012. In the summer they will be lucky to get Dubinsky from the Rangers for a player that wants out and has an NTC

LOL...that GM is nuts.

 

[KingHenrik30]

Anisimov, Malkin, Kulemin, Tyutin, Volchenkov, Kulikov, Kovalchuk...

Probably the Anti-Russian. Only one currently on the Rangers.

 

[railGUN]

LTTP but I can't believe we traded Hodgson... He was playing so fucking good... uhg.

 

[Crazymoogle]

No doubt, but since the Sabres are at the back end of the playoff hunt this is probably their time to start playing everyone and seeing what they've got. I mean, the Canucks got him for nothing so why not kick the tires?

 

[brucewaynegretzky]

Anisimov, Malkin, Kulemin, Tyutin, Volchenkov, Kulikov, Kovalchuk (arguably)

Most of those guys have been subject to pretty major criticisms in terms of competitiveness. Even Malkin has been called out a bunch of times for dogging it over the years.

 

[CrazedArabMan]

Russian 5 also says hi.

 

[Socreges]

I don't get why the Canucks would drop a guy who seems to have arrived already, though.

Hopefully we hear from Gillis soon and he can give us some kind of explanation.

Aww, I was hoping the Blackhawks would be one of the teams

 

[RC]

I still can't make sense of this trade. Takes away our depth at centre and hampers our offense. I hate everything and everyone at this point.

 

[KingHenrik30]

LOL...that GM is nuts.

Which?

 

[brucewaynegretzky]

Red Wings certainly do it better than everyone else. I'll give you that.

 

[Smiley90]

We have pretty good center depth, but the trade is still sad. Nothing tangible to give you hope about Kassian :/

 

[KernelPanic]

That deal almost went down till Murray requested Dubinsky at the last minute.

Which is good because Roszival was a salary dump and Zherdev is a KHL player.

 

[KingHenrik30]

Aww, I was hoping the Blackhawks would be one of the teams

He's never being traded in Division

 

[Crazymoogle]

(or traded to VAN for Hodgson...)

NTC (as mentioned) but also just a huge cap disparity. I'd love to see Nash on the team too but he would immediately become the #1 biggest contract on the team. With Nash locked in at a high number that means trouble when we have to resign the other big money players on the roster.

 

[CrazedArabMan]

Red Wings certainly do it better than everyone else. I'll give you that.

Unfortunately we went away from that and only have one now, but man is he a good one, too bad he is injured. :/

Also with D and Lidstrom most likely out against Columbus tonight, I'm gonna say a Columbus victory, only upside to this game is watching Brendan Franchise play!!

I'm kidding on the Franchise part.

 

[bishoptl]

Somebody tell me something amazing about Kassian, please

Nash's contract would probably piss off other long time players on the team who make less than he does but probably have better numbers and have done more for the franchise.

 

[Sanjuro]

He likes to be punched in the face.

 

[Red_Man]

I need to buy a giant digital clock counting down the days and hours until draft day, and put it right above my computer.
