stevkrause 1,247 Report post Posted February 11, 2010 http://www.hockeybuzz.com/blog.php?post_id=26220 All Quick Hits Day. Many, many posts. *Donald Brashear is on waivers. The Rangers are still talking to teams and I would bet they do something today. Horton from Florida, Moreau from Edm, and Nolan from Minnesota are names I have been hearing... *The Stars have claimed Brandon Segal from the Kings. *The Stars have been trying to find a new home for Turco, and I am hearing Buffalo may be it. *There is also news today of more talk involving Washington and Souray. no, I do NOT want him here, just found it interesting...

GSBrooks13 204 Report post Posted February 11, 2010 Yeah.. saw this on a few people's twitters.. I always liked Brashear but Im pretty sure he wouldnt bring any more to the table than May.. and since May is probably gonna end up waived anyways I dont see any point at all in grabbing Brashear..

Guest micah Report post Posted February 11, 2010 Kenny!!!! Just kidding. If we didn't suck this year, we could aford a Brashear to have to provide entertainment and insurence. We don't have that luxery. I hope somebody picks him up, in spite of his age he's still as tough as they come. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AtomicPunk 296 Report post Posted February 11, 2010 That's a pretty expensive insurance policy!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GMRwings1983 8,793 Report post Posted February 11, 2010 He's 38 and doesn't have the dominance he once had as a fighter. His decade of destruction (or hugging ) is over. I can't remember an enforcer playing till they were 40. Time to retire. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

FireCaptain 563 Report post Posted February 11, 2010 (edited) One word - LaLime. Miller's current backup is good ol' Patrick. This year's stats for him: 10GP 3W 3L 2OT .896SP 3.22GAA Why would buffalo take turco? Edited February 11, 2010 by FireCaptain Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

cusimano_brothers 1,655 Report post Posted February 11, 2010 Why would buffalo take turco? Two reasons: 1) Miller has been less than stellar lately and they would like to rest him but 2) They are still not convinced that Lalime can do the job as a backup.

rage 24 Report post Posted February 11, 2010 I still highly doubt Turco goes to Buffalo of all places. That's about as dumb as I can think of. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
newfy 695 Report post Posted February 11, 2010 Horton possibly on the block eh? Kenny get it done. We need a good young scoring forward, this guy has 50 goal potential and he's probably the most underrated in the league. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mjlegend 155 Report post Posted February 11, 2010 Horton possibly on the block eh? Kenny get it done. We need a good young scoring forward, this guy has 50 goal potential and he's probably the most underrated in the league. I like him a lot too but not only is he a center (do you put him ahead of Dats or Flip?), we'd have to clear up a lot of space to even get him in the picture. Only four players on the Wings have a bigger cap hit than Horton would, if we somehow traded for him. I don't know about 50, but I think he could score 35-40 with half-decent wingers. His cap hit of $4 million is daunting but he only turns 25 this year. If the cap were going up, I'd say do it, but it's staying at about the same level this year.

MacK_Attack 108 Report post Posted February 12, 2010 I still highly doubt Turco goes to Buffalo of all places. That's about as dumb as I can think of. As a short term rental, why not? He'd provide insurance in net and Dallas probably isn't asking a whole lot for him. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
