same but with holtby winning the cup wed have to try and convince them to maybe make a move with samsonov .... maybe they have but we wouldnt know about it anyways ya i agree with ouellet would be nice to collect a 7th for guys like himself and rusos but its not meant to be

sooooo as expected were never gonna see that russo 7th lmao sheahan wasnt qualified , i know he had that long year with no goals but he went back to 11 last year , 6'3 size i know people will think im nuts but id rather trade helm,nielsen,abs and collect those 2nd and 3rds and just sign sheahan to a 1-2 yr deal saw derrick pouliot wasnt qualified as well , not expecting much but still 24 , maybe get him instead as a free asset for one year and trade jensen for a 4-6th ... still have to get rid of ericsson , daley but we all know at the end of the day holland wont change any of these vets

hes not clearly better than zadina,rasmussen or another kid hes the last player we need , the only player id accept as a ufa would have been someone like kovalchuk .... only on a one year deal with high cap to pursuade him to come here so we can then trade them for a package of 1sts/2nds at the deadline , as we seen with vanek he has zero trade value so its a hard pass

the way our draft went this year id trade howard for a second in a heartbeat , even trade a 3rd and howard for a 2nd and try and stockpile top 60 picks ...just sign whoever and even bring that crap coreau as a backup .... if possible id push hard for samsonov since holtby won the cup but i dont know if that would be doable btw guys xavier ouellet on waivers with the purpose of buyout , once again we lose an asset for nothing ... not expecting much but thought we could of landed a 7th at least off the habs lol im sure he will go there being french and all , oh well no biggie

same but i doubt it , he loves his vets too much ... turgeon should start up as 4th c and depending on how zadina performs he should as well , can see rasmussen starting down and svechnikov

vanek????? come on man and im sure david pope is crying himself to sleep hes gonna have to be superb to crack this lineup if zadina,rasmussen,svechnikov and turgeon all make it 1-2 yrs from now id start trading glendening ,helm and the nielsens and stock pile more 2nd rounders but kenny loves his vets

is this for real ???? you wanted us to fall back to 10th and take lucic to draft dobson ??? so move back 4 spots for the fun lf it and pick up a horrible contract ? lmao is it april already and seth barton is right handed that should quench your thirst for now .... not the biggest fan of veleno but we cant complain with our first 5 picks , berggren,mcisaac and regula have upside .... start checking the ufa list if you want a righty

really think we'll get wilde ... sabres picking first and just got dahlin and have ristolainen im sure theyll wanna pick some player to help with eichel , hopefully stay away from berggren and take noel florida and habs would then pick before wings again and i expect the habs to take a center like mcleod so wings should have a chance at berggren/marchenko/lauko upfront or mcisaac/samuelsson/tychonick at d with our second pick would anyone consider getitng the 38th and a later second from the habs ? or 41 and 43 from islanders for one of our seconds ???

hope to god we stay away from faulk ,hes a ufa in 2 yrs we need a younger dman to grow up with the younger guys we have probably no chance but try and convince carolina to reunite the brothers and take svechnikov and veleno/athanasiou for hanifin ... if not svechnikov and a 2nd or 3rd for bean

love the zadina pick , not crazy about veleno hopefully we get wilde or samuelsson now and although we need d seeing berggren up there still and maybe marchenko with high upside im very tempted to take them ... gotta figure hakan anderssen will wanna pick a swede soon also got tychonick,denim,bahl,harris and regula who might be available for us in the next few rounds at d to take .... gotta make these next 5 picks count

so apparently the islanders will be trading one of their picks for nhl ready bodys if they get the sense tavares will come back nyquist and maybe we can convince one of daley/ericsson to waive? + a later pick?? (yes i know ericsson daley sucks but im sure they are better thought of across the league)

talking about ryan merkley???? if so id take a shot but wed have to trade saarjarvi maybe in a package deal or something ... dont want too many shorties back there lol hronek cholowski merkley in the back at 6feet and under would be enough ... wed then have to add like samuelsson to help offset the shortyness

fair enough ... i just think mostly everyones going nuts cause hes 7 feet , rather of had brannstrom or liljgren last yr and personally id be down with moving him if possible to land a whalstrom and dobson/bouchard or whalstrom and tkachuk/zadina(if they dropped) anyways canucks are in with hanifin with that pick apparently and doubt our gm would even consider trading rasmussen

just curious since hes a b.c kid would anyone trade rasmussen to vancouver for the 7th if possible ???? we can then land whalstrom and dobson/bouchard

dobson or whalstrom .... like the fact that dobson can play all facets of the game and log a ton of ice time and has the size (he'll bulk up) also like whalstrom more i think of it , can see him playing with larkin, see him as a future first line player 30-40 goal guy and dont know if we can pass that up future top 2 line wingers can be mantha,rasmussen,whalstrom and svechnikov ... looks pretty good

jesus would have won a cup if he was here the last 10 years i say we take advantage of holtby winning the cup and try and get ilya samsonov out of washington

We send kocur and mccarthy To convince him To waive his clause

We need To stay far away from green and Kovalchuk .... only consider Kovalchuk at Like 7 per if it means its a 1 yr deal and we convert him into a first at the deadline

Thanks for that So do we Have To protect svechnkov,turgeon ,hicketts? I think if you play 3 ahl seasons then we Basically Have To protect them Anyone know if Nielsen has a full no trade ? If so we should trade him asap

If we want to get rid of those wastes we can't wait till the expansion draft comes closer since everyone will probably be doing the same.... helm doesn't have a no trade clause right ? I'd have no problem leaving him exposed but I'd try and move him , can still skate and on a contender I think he'd help a lot, maybe a Tampa type team (Stevie would know he's got some value left) I dont know if abs has a full no trade but i think could get moved I'd we ate salary but I highly doubt it, I'd target Nielsen asap and explain we won't be contending anytime soon and it would be in his best interest to go to a contending team and maybe try and send him to a team like sj who's linked to Tavares and try and entice them and Nielsen into going in the hopes of attracting Tavares since if I recall he really liked nielsen(no chance he'd come here with out d being horrendous) Anyone remember what the rules for expansion draft are?

Problem with that is if he actually fell back to 10 (I also doubt it ) oilers will just think with whalstrom's shot they'll take him instead to play with mcdavid and they wouldn't be wrong... sadly I think we can only a have 1 player before the 10 spot unless we made a big splash and just took the 2 spot from Carolina, I'd personally have no problem throwing in a Rasmussen in a package deal (not high on him as some people ) to land the 2nd to get svechnikov Besides that I think MTL ott Ari all pick, along with canucks We had the Russians in the past .... caps have the Russians We need more Russians

Mantha or Vegas pick And AA ? Those deals are both way High for 3 spots.... most id ever do is the Vegas pick and they say no and I'm good , shouldn't risk the farm for 3rd can still get a good player, if it was svechnikov available maybe I'd offer more .... maybe

I Guess i over value our players maybe, so be it .... just think a 23 yr old kid whos got 16 and 18 goals in Like 65 games playing on a bottom line with scrubs has value and getting rid of him can be a move we one day regret I also dont think we Will land a top 10 pick and wouldnt trade up To move 3 spots unless it was just a pick .... if someone said we can get dobson at 9 guaranteed and land the 28th as Well id do it and try To then move up for dellandrea Trading for bean fabbro or a Young damn is a must, trading for a current top dman would Cost too much Well id consider a 2nd for Anderson depending what happens , say nyi offer 41 and 42 for 30 maybe we offer one ... or maybe trade Ericsson with 750k for a dallas 2nd? Id Call the leafs and offer glendening and get more assets To then trade,.... we both know sadly holland wont move them Dobson Kotkaniemi Whalstrom Bouchard Hughes

id trade maybe AA and the 30th ro move up 200 spots throwing in another early second is too much for me , AA is still young and if he has a coach that doesnt screw around with him he can be a 30 goal guy ... with his and mcdavids speed together they would cause teams headaches maybe even better use him to land jake bean as you suggested ... can maybe trade the vegas pick and 36th for devils 17th and land dellandrea or bokk , think that 17th pick is for the taking since devils pick again at 110 and someone mentioned the flames having no picks till round 4 we can maybe send a pick if they really like someone for kylington or andersson

Theres quite some Guys i Like in the top 60 so if we can somehow land the rangers 9 and 28 or Hawks 8 and 27 then id do it , then maybe try and land the 17th from nj To get a bokk or/and one of the islanders firsts Or maybe the islanders want our late first and we can land 41 and 42 back Think its possible we can trade Ericsson for Dallas's 44th with say 750k paid , Dallas's d looks pretty bad Also what do you guys think of the jay o'brien , he's looking good to me , going to ncaa next Year, had 43 goals and betting some comparisons To Ryan Donato ... id take a shot at him early 2nd
