stevkrause 1,247 Report post Posted June 23, 2011 Does this mean Carle is in play? I gotta imagine with moving so much salary already that Carle will be staying put now, my guess is they let Leino walk and MAYBE trade Versteeg, but I don't see them making a lot more moves now...

That's a very good point. Surprising that they chose those two to move, but I guess it doesn't necessarily indicate a fire sale. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dragonballgtz 273 Report post Posted June 23, 2011 L.A. will now turn around and deal Ryan Smyth to Edmonton in order to make the cap work. Do they really need to? Looking at capgeek the might get by depending on Drew's contract. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Finnish Wing 110 Report post Posted June 23, 2011 my guess is they let Leino walk and MAYBE trade Versteeg, but I don't see them making a lot more moves now... My guess is they either trade Versteeg or keep both. Holmgren has said he wants to re-sign Ville Leino. With all that cap space and two forwards traded away why would they let Leino walk NOW?

There were a ton of reports that they were looking to move those 2 or at least one of them anyway this off season, regardless of cap space due to their antics off the ice and in the locker room, they were reportedly VERY disruptive together and apparently partied too much...

With all that cap space and two forwards traded away why would they let Leino walk NOW? I should have worded that better, I meant IF they were trying to make more capspace, that is what I imagine they'd do before trading Carle, all things considered, I don't think they'll make more trades and I think they'll most likely re-sign their FA's, as trading those 2 pretty much solved the cap issue they had...

I had heard Carter. Especially with the s*** that's swirled around him for awhile now, that's not surprised. The captain is surprising, though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Finnish Wing 110 Report post Posted June 23, 2011 Bryzgalov, Pronger and Hartnell better give it their best next year. Because they were probably the main reasons these two guys got traded. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dragonballgtz 273 Report post Posted June 23, 2011 (edited) WOW just looking at capgeek Schenn has a $3m cap hit next year if he plays in the NHL next year while Simmonds is a RFA this year. Looks like Schenn might be playing in the AHL. Edited June 23, 2011 by dragonballgtz Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hockey13Playa 240 Report post Posted June 23, 2011 This. Maybe the Carter move is a sign of aggressive off-season behavior. Aggressive behavior yes, playoff team no. I don't think they have what it takes yet. They have two strong players in Carter and Nash now. There defense is way to shaky and Mason has been inconsistent. I think they need to add a few more higher end players before becoming a "real" playoff team. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
