Trade Idea With Columbus

To Columbus

Robert Lang

Brett Lebda

3rd Rounder

He's a deal that Ive been thinking of. I know Vyborny isnt a big guy at 5'10 but he's a presence on the wing and is very fast and can set up Shanny very nicely. Michael Rupp is huge and a big hitter. We need a player like this 6'5 230 pounds isnt easy to move around. He can throw the body around and if he needs to can throw some fists.

We are losing Lang and Lebda and a first. I dont think we need Lebda even though he looks like he can be a great Offensive Defenceman. But we have Kronwall and Quincey who will most likely become 4-7 defencemen. Lang as we all know can be traded and not hurt us that much. He's a salary dump for us but Lang will give Columbus a great Center behind or infront of Fedorov and help them next year to get a playoff spot. It doesnt matter much about the 3rd I mean we have a first rounder still if we are in the first round and have nothing to draft we can draft lower and get more picks to fill small holes.

Thoughts...

True but how much damage can they do to us?

Turn arounds are quick, look at Carolina, with a healthy Nash, Zherdev and Fedorov they could give us a lot of trouble next year.

Vyborny is 30, he looks even smaller than 5'10, so far only has 38 points and 15 goals (the "horrible and lazy" Lang has 40 and 15 in fewer games).

Lebda just turned 24, is playing his first year of NHL hockey, and has 9 points in somewhat limited action.

Vyborny is an above average *soft* finesse player.

Lebda at this stage of his career is an average puck moving, and strong skating defenseman... who is more than six years younger than Vyborny and has only just begun his career. Not to mention Lebda has a smaller contract.

So which part were you laughing your ass off at?
