its said primuea is retiring . its said thusly phili is looking for center . well we have extra centers . and imo we need size / ruggedness . phili has that , so this trade might fit . i dont know though how highly eager is rated , if hes rated too high this trade isnt feasible . but trade is = lang + williams 4 knubble + eager this gives us size and ruggedness and 2 power wingers which we badly need . and it gives phili lang to replace primuea and williams to replace eagers youth . i havent gone into all the salary details and or know eagers worth so im not saying i know this is a possible trade , im just throwing the idea out there because imo we need size / ruggedness badly so i keep thinking how we can get it .

tsn says 1 year 2.5 mil in columbus

i thought of this trade because clark went after kesler , a center . press is saying cuz probably primeaus retiring . so i figured that phili wants a center .

theres alot of whining going on here as usuall when i post but not alot of sense is being made . getting back the same offense for lang as said by one is wrong because knubble scored more goals and probably as many points . williams for eager isnt pointless because 1 eager is said to be very rugged , ands big , and was drafted 23 by phoenix in 02 so was highly regarded and only came up last year at age of 22 for first time and played 25 games . so for sure its said hes rugged and stands up , and possibly he can become power forward with some goals . exactly what we need for our 2 small talented centers of now and the future . so his ruggedness instantly helps and he might become exactly what zets or dats needs on their wing instead of a smallish williams . and now the guy who said my trade ideas arent rumors so shouldnt be in the rumor mill says my trade ideas dont belong in the general forum but the rumor mill . your all criticizing me and your all just making senseless noise .

m. ilitch besides the 02 cup your team has been floundering in the playoffs forever under hollands reign . everyone in michigan and ontario besides kenny says we need to add some size and grit . well an opportunity has sprung up in tampa bay with them being stupid enough not to give a possible super monster a little more money cuz they dont want to screw up the locker room or something . well it's time to step in and demand that holland attempt to steal artukin , a 3 way deal seems to be the proper tool to perform this task / theft . so pull out the badge and start retooling this club for cup running . because ARTUKINS LIKE GODZILLA , put him with dats for the begining of the next russian 5 , NOW !!!

tampas in cup mode . if im running that team there are several wings ide be interested in . 2 are maltby and draper together to give me a shut down line . another is schneider to give me a threat from dmen . another is holmstrom to help my power play . and the player i want coming back is robo russian = artukin . he'd give pavel russian buddy plus body guard . and i wouldnt care if i had to send all 4 mentioned wings to get him . if im tampa i wouldnt do , but then again say they add holmstrom , draper , maltby they tie up all kinds off loose ends and bring veteran composure to team . ide sweeten it up with hudler .

so the front office says no big signings were on a budget . and we need size and forwards . so an idea i have is , since at present we can only sign one guy , trade maybe maltby for draft pick (we lose no o and i'll replace him with bootsy) to dump salary and allow me to pick up 2 forwards with size instead of one . now i sign victor kozlov and oleg kvasha very cheaply , both soft as marshmellows to make kenny happy , whom are both over 230lbs . now i make a giant sized , but finess , line out of lang , kozlov and kvasha . theyd be soft but be good passing with long reaches and have alot of weight to bull pucks in which might be hard to defend . and we stay under cap for a little spending spree at deadline .

since youve wrongly complained about a few of my post not being rumors and thusly inappropriate here i figured ide inform you of your wrongness in order to hopefully save the site of future pouting . if you look under the rumor mill title it says DISCUSS POTENTIAL PLAYER SIGNINGS . so thats what i like doing all the time , thinking up how ide run the team because thats fun for me . i win this clash , now its time for my vegan dinner . goodday

so what if artukin dont play this year , if i get his rights i sign him next year . if he turns out good i dont term that stupid . what i term stupid is you or kenny not thinking of going after a player type we badly need and is possibly availible , im just thinking deeper than you which seems to be causing you frustration . i think maybe a shrink or some antidepressant drugs may help your condition .

your combination of a small mind and big mouth is rather ugly . if you were to read under the rumor mill title it says discuss POTENTIAL PLAYER SIGNINGS , trades and league dealings here . so smart boy what do you think i was doing here other than discussing potential player signings .

ide like to officially change the name of the line i submited and not be such a smart ass about it , i guess i was trying to get my fangs in kenny for never adding grit . but anyway my new name for this line is the " sunflower line " cuz their all tall like sunflowers .

i see us needing a big forward or 2 to play with our small centers and do the heavy work in front of net and along boards . so looking at ufa's i see 2 that may be able to do said job from what i read , so im wondering what the group thinks about these 2 guys . theres another that doesnt fit my player acquisition profile but i think is a good 4th line guy and thats park from vancouver , he's a heads up hockey player that hustles and sticks his nose into the conflict . and say for instance we could trade maltby for something i would believe that park could replace him and save us money . so im wondering how group see's park .

i dont know how much he's making this year cuz there was some kind of defered or average salary controversey or something is what i remember , but if you put tkachuk with datsyuk itd be an unstoppable force . with zetterbergs line itd give us 2 very good lines to go with a great defence . then maybe get a vet goalie cheap at deadline to go with ozzie . and could probably get tkachuk cheap .

no , this is just one of my playing gm ideas

well i errored by not knowing tampas salary status which makes the trade unfeasible unless they were to dump salary back to us or in another trade . but to everyone who says im dismantling this and that i say like holland your holding on to the past and this team wont win a cup . so i dont care what i dismantle cuz im trying to rebuild a team to make many cup runs . its an arguable topic . but i say in like 2 seasons all these guys im trading shall be through and artukin may be a superstar power forward , at which time would have been teaming with pavel on the best line in hockey . and making cup runs , wheres as on the path were headed i dont see where the allstars are gonna come from to make a dynasty . im shooting for a dynasty , hollands driving towards mediocrity .

now with markov , who we could play with kronwall on second pairing , we could afford to trade schneider . and knubble would work perfect on pavels wing giving us a rugged power forward to score down low . im just not sure if this makes sense for philly . but for me we need a power guy to score down low in crucial situations more than we need schneiders shot from the blue line and his nuetral zone skating , and kronwall could possibly replace schneiders numbers this year

a year or 2 ago i saw an interveiw with shark gm wilson , he really struck me as an intelligent man . that opinion was reinforced when he stole thorton from the poor bruins . and looking at salaries i see he's paying nabakov 5 mil . that says to me wilson thinks nabakov is great , and his opinion is good enough for me . but now the other goalie has bloomed there and with the cap wilsons in a wasteful situation , he could sure be spending that 5 mil in a better way . we want a goalie , a big money guy we could ship imo that could help sharks is schneider . him on their back end would give them a deadly weapon to turn to when the forwards cant score . and i happen to watch the sharks alot on nhl center ice and i think schneider would be a great addition for them . and i think both mentioned players are on last year of contracts so age means nothing cuz teams dont own them beyond then . thusly matt helps them and nabby helps us .

WOW - thatd be very scary taking on that contract with the cap . bottom line for me here is that i think there is a goaltender glut approaching cuz of more euros and americans playing hockey now (at least thats the way it strikes me without having seen any hard numbers) so i couldnt commit that big to a goalie .

from your post it sounds like i misread about nabakovs contract , i thought he only had 1 year remaining . ide have to know real contract details before making this trade comment again .

from what ive observed of sykora over the years he's a dangerous sniper , he finds his openings and knows how to cash in . and i know he's never played with a set up man as talented as pavel , so i could see him in the new nhl and on dats wing hitting 40 goals . and he's proven his talent by his numbers several seasons and is only 29 so could end up playing many valuable seasons here . thusly at this point he's my # 1 free agent . # 2 is v kozlov cuz of size and talent together , maybe babcock could coach him into breaking out and becoming a late bloomer .

completely agree . i would take this trade instantly . a bonus would be dumping langs salary . and maxim looked very good to me in playoffs . he playing on pavels line might score 40 .

though i like kronwall im nervous about his 2 leg injuries so ide make the trade . ide keep maxim to play with pavel . then ide shop biron because im not playing for cup this year im rebuilding and can wait for howard , ozzies sufficient for now . and the first place ide offer biron is tampa with part of deal coming back artukin . this gives me artukin - datsyuk - afingenov line . the thing that made this deal for me is how dangerous maxim looked in the playoffs , he stepped up as far as i saw , i didnt follow his point totals but he seemed to be always threatening .

made mistake here and clicked wrong quote icon point is here that im dismantling the special teams unit of a team that is going to win zero cups ! im trading guys going or past their prime for a young guy with giant potential in an effort to build a unit to make future cup runs with . and exactly what a skinny unphysical but talented player like pavel needs is robo russian to do the heavy work out there .

heres my list of free agents left that could help and are mostly cheap = desjardins - was phili captain , must be smart handling puck and team man , at his age could get cheap , this move would allow us to trade another dman such as schneider or kronwall for big forward with offense . sykora , only 29 and could help offense . kozlov , big forward with talent , plus russian to mesh with pavel . therien , big dman . rivers , i'll take him as 6th dman any day . sanderson , a dangerous offensive weapon . allison , size and goal help . richardson , ide like to see him play with lilja giving the wings a big defensive tandem . simon , could be 3rd line help with his size clogging front of net . johnson (center,nashville) , would chip in .

brendan witt is just the type player wings need to give them more scrappiness in playoffs , ide play him with schneider on 2nd pairing
