I'm not disagreeing with that at all. But if he were available..

Yeah don't get me wrong, I'd love to have Brown on the Wings. The only thing I don't like about the game is he dives from time to time.

[LeftWinger]

Just an observation, last night's game was a perfect indicator that the Red Wings NEED a top line scorer that shows up every night to play. I certain hope Holland addresses this problem by the deadline because these are the teams we are going to be facing in the playoffs....Vancouver, San Jose, St. Louis...even Chicago still gives us fits. Please Kenny....PLEASE! WE NEED A REAL CLUTCH SCORING WINGER!

[NeverForgetMac25]

friends, i would advise against betting him on it. he will end up asking mods to have your posts deleted to remove the evidence.

Mods don't remove any posts unless they break the forum rules.

Baiting does break the rules. You might want to read up on that one.

I absolutely agree and think they need a shooter in general; I just don't know where they're going to find one without giving up more in trade than they can really afford for the future.

Exactly! Come playoffs when zetterburg and datsyuk are being focused on being s*** down we will need scoring from spmeone else. Look at the last two years. Zetterburg was placed to focus on thortons line. However thorton was shutting down z. We lacked the scoring with franzens ankle hurt. Guys get hurt in the playoffs u have to be deep.

[Jericho613]

At this point I just hope we make a move that gets us scoring or toughness.

Hemsky has just signed a 2-year deal with Edmonton for 10 mil. According to tsn.ca/nhl/ LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL

Good, mark him off Kenny's list (hopefully).

Great, so this means Hudler is gonna ask for $5M+ again this summer....Holland will never pay him that much...me either. Hudler @ $3.25M sounds better...

On topic...SHEESH! How did he rate $5M a year? Are these owners on crack?


Unbelievable: http://tsn.ca/nhl/story/?id=388774

Not sure if it had been mentioned.....Preds send Jerrod Smithson to Florida for a pick...6th round pick.

Seriously. With his record, that should turn out to be $100k to $200k per game... Any bets on which way it will swing?

...according to this TSN article called Trade Bait, they list Steve Ott as a trade possibility.

Make it happen Kenny!


edit: Just saw that Dallas is currently in 8th place and it looks like it's gonna be a battle the rest of the way and they could very well wind up in 8th at the end. So I guess there is NO WAY that they trade Ott to their possible first round opponent....DAMN!

Marek Zidlicky to NJD. Supposedly Foster + pick coming back. Nothing official/confirmed yet.

Heck, if Minn is in a giving mood, I know someone they could give Clutterbuck to!

[cusimano_brothers]

From TSN:

The Nashville Predators have traded forward Jerred Smithson to the Florida Panthers in exchange for a sixth-round draft pick in the 2012 entry draft.
...

[55fan]

Zidlicky is out of Minn's lineup "to protect the team's interest". Looks like a trade.

[Tim.D]

Per michael Russo on twitter: @Russostrib: Text from Kurtis Foster: just informed this second he has been traded back to the #mnwild

NJD adds a fourth rounder as well it looks like.

Unrelated, Patrick Kaleta is not with the Sabres bench to start the 2nd period. Unclear if injury or not.

[Tim.D]

Devils announce trade:@TGfireandice: Devils officially announce trade. It's' Foster, Veilleux, Palmieri and Washington's 2012 2nd round pick for Marek Zidlicky.

[rage]

keep them coming tim d!

I was just talking to a buddy of mine who lives in Edmonton and he's just laughing (He's a Canucks fan). Horcoff at 5.5 million per lol, Tom Gilbert at 4 million per, Whitney at 4 million per and now Hemsky at 5 million per.

He has never scored more than 23 goals in a year, he's brutal defensively and he's always hurt.

[Tim.D]

Conditional 3rd also going to Wild. If I had to choose a winner it'd definitely be the Wild. Great return for a pending FA.

[MabusIncarnate]

On what planet is Hemsky worth 5 mil a season? I like the guy but I wasn't expecting him to make a penny over 3 mil.
