Montreal is ready for 1st july Sedins + Hossa...

Imagine this energy line: Clutterback - Helm - Neil (Moen) That would be nasty one...

http://blog.mlive.com/snapshots/2009/06/ma...will_trade.html Matheson: Red Wings will trade Marian Hossa's rights, probably to Los Angeles, if he's not signed by Monday Posted by George James Malik June 28, 2009 08:42AM Regarding the status of probable unrestricted free agent-to-be Marian Hossa, the Edmonton Journal's Jim Matheson has provided the most reliable and accurate reads on Ritch Winter's client (as Winter works out of Edmonton) since, well, January. Matheson suggests that the Red Wings will attempt to receive some sort of compensation for Hossa, confirming two independent reports suggesting that Hossa could find himself at his probable destination before July 1st: June 28, Edmonton Journal: If Marian Hossa doesn't take the Red Wings' long-term offer for between $4 and $5 million a year, Detroit will trade his negotiating rights, likely by Monday, two days before free agency opens. Reliable sources say the Los Angeles Kings, who are looking for a marquee player and have lots of salary cap room, will come hardest after the unrestricted free agent. They could play Hossa with Anze Kopitar. The Kings are one of the few teams with enough cap space to go after Hossa and possibly Marian Gaborik, but various reports, from Bruce Garrioch included, suggest that they no longer plan on trading assets for Dany Heatley. As Matheson notes, the Edmonton Oilers made a big pitch for Hossa last summer, but Edmonton's restricted free agents' speak for it. In terms of compensation? If the Wings can get a draft pick or two out of the equation, it's better than nothing. Update 10:36 AM: Paul Kukla of Kukla's Korner noted that the Minnesota Wild supposedly want to make a pitch for Hossa, Gaborik, somebody big, but you have to overpay to get an offensive player to come to a place like Minnesota, new coach included. Like $8 million a year overpaying. Can we have Cluterback?!

:rotflmao:

5'-11" comes from draft

No way Detroit trades Osgood - only if we can get Brodeur but even that... not sure...

Even if we are not going to resign Hossa - THANKS HOSSA for good season (40 goals isn't bad at all) and sacrifice (last season - you rejected a lot of money that you are not going to earn this time)... It was nice to have you - wish you luck!!! GO WINGS GO

He's 5'-11" not gonna grow 6'-1"... 5'-11" at 220lbs... OMG...

The Los Angeles Kings have dealt center Brian Boyle to the NY Rangers in exchange for a third round pick in 2010. http://spectorshockey.net/ Very good pick for 4th or even 3rd line. He's TOUGH... Nice pick-up by Rangers...

What size are you talking about?!

If you are wet with Scuderi than let's offer Zetterberg for Max Talbot and offer him 25 years contract with cap hit $7M...

Good size for WINGS - He's listed at 5'-11" (175lbs)...

Why would we go after average Def for $1.5M???

Dave Bolland signed for 5 years $18M ($3.6M / season) and you guys are expecting Hossa to sign for $4M... DREAM ON

So $6M for Hossa is overpaid...

I agree with you 100% Jeff Finger is $3.5M player and Hossa should play for $4M?! $6M is reasonable amount for him...

Why would you trade his rights?! To move up - you are going to get 4th round pick (at best 3rd)... You want to sign this guy, not trade his rights...

Mickael Bélanger wouldn't be bad late pick-up...

one for two...

Congrats to LEGEND BEST PLAYER OF ALL TIME: STEVE YZERMAN!!!

I may be wrong but 2010 draft is supposed to be very deep (in talent)?!

Don't get me wrong - I think that Hudler is quality player BUT if you need to keep one of them (Hudler vs. Flip) I have to go with Flip, and YES you are RIGHT 100% Flip is OVERPAID BUT no need to overpay for Hudler.

There is no need to trade Hudler, he's RFA, Holland qualify offer, we just need to wait that someone (Edmonton) throw $3M or more to him and we get draft picks and that's it...
