russianswede919293 95 Report post Posted February 27, 2007 What? You wouldnt trade Meech for Gary Roberts? The Panthers would laugh that off, i know nothing about Welch but i can guarantee he's better than Meech. Meech is actually pretty good, kind of similar to Brett Lebda. With the Wings defensive depth I don't think it would be too bad to part with Meech but I'd rather trade a pick for Roberts... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Roberts really has all the leverage in this situation if this is a real offer. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MacK_Attack 108 Report post Posted February 27, 2007 Another Roberts update: Gary immediately rejected the trade to the Penguins when told of it this morning. Fred Shero phoned Roberts and asked him to think about it, which Gary agreed to do. At this point, it is not known if Roberts has responded with a yay or nay to the trade.

SwedeLundin77 460 Report post Posted February 27, 2007 Fleury is going to have to pick up his game if Pitt has any hopes of competing hard in the playoffs. Roberts is a good veteran addition, and it seems like they got him for little too.... I don't know much about that prospect they gave up. I wonder if this means they'll pass on Laraque.

ShanahanMan 473 Report post Posted February 27, 2007 (edited) its official, Roberts did not waive his no trade to go to Pittsburgh. Ouch, thats a slap in the face to the Pens.....who are actually a pretty damn good team. eh, its going back and fourth. TSN is still saying he's going to Pittsburgh.

SwedeLundin77 460 Report post Posted February 27, 2007 Hmm, on sportsnet it says Holland is talking to Florida about Roberts, Gelinas, and Stumpel.... It would be funny if we swooped in and grabbed Roberts... although if we did that I would hope for Gelinas too since he is a clutch goal scorer in the playoffs.

Yeah, a defensive prospect named Noah Welch and that's it as far as I can tell... if they actually do get Roberts, we'll have to wait until morning to know for sure.
