I know it's a holiday, but it's still too early to be THAT drunk

i know almost as bad as the iginla and bouwmeester suggestion

At least my insane proposal had even value (if not skewed in CGY favor)... You're way over-valuing our pieces...

But yes, my suggestion was crazy

Anyone else think that giving up very little to trade for someone that's a short term cap nightmare might make sense?

i.e. Patrick Marleau - 2 more years at 6.9M

Can you think of any others like this?

Iginla , 1 year at 7m

[greene709]

Would love to see Nash and Yandle on the Wings.

[stevkrause]

Stastny, 2 yrs at 6.6

[Salviaman]

Let's do it! Sign Lindros and Fedorov!!

[dirtydangles]

we HAVE to sign Semin at this point so we can trade some of our other pieces. Franzen and Fil are the only thing of value other than our young guys nyquist and smith.

Stastny, 2 yrs at 6.6

leaves colorado shallow in the top 2 centre department with only matty d.

He's been on the block before and Feaster had said no one is off limits... I'm not saying they wouldn't ask more then he's worth, but he is most certainly in play...

[Zetterling]

Eh, Suter might not have been the right fit anyway. Ericsson going to be given a big opportunity.

I wasn't suggesting making a pitch for Stastny by the way, just answering the question of other contacts out there like that...

[SpiritFan]

1st & foremost, we need a solid d-man with experience. Trading for Yandle would be ideal, Weber would be awesome but there's no way Nashville lets him get away now that Suter is gone. Matt Carle would be ok. Carlo Colaiacovo would be ok for a bottom pair player at low money, Pavel Kubina, although slow, is also a bigger body & can put up numbers & could be a good short term fill in. P.K. Subban is a RFA, and Montreal has been loading up with other playedrs, not to mention the personal problems he's had with teammates there, maybe we could make an offer for him. Not likely in a million years, but an idea. And since I am being completely "fantasy world" about this, Washington could use a big Franzen type guy... what would it take to land Mike Green (who is a RFA)?

As for forwards, sure, Nash would be awesome, but I think Ryan is more realistic, and I like him just as much. But what would we give up to get, say Yandle (or Green) & Ryan? You have to give to get... do we give up Franzen, Flip & a bunch of prospects & picks for two guys? I just don't see Holland wanting to move Flip.

My gut tells me there may be a move for a D-man like Yandle, and a free agent signing like Semin, even though I don't think Semin is high on the Wings wish list. But pickin's are getting slim!!!

[stevkrause]

I think it's going to come completely out of left field and be a trade for someone we haven't even been talking about...

[F.Michael]

Cleary, Mursak, Tatar, Emmerton - Yandle

I could be wrong, but I doubt the Yotes want our garbage.

[dirtydangles]

I think we have to thin out our forwards and trade for some quality Dmen. We can sign Semin and Mueller to replace some forward depth in the long run. We also have Tatar in the wings with Jarnkrok being ready next season hopefully.

Here's what I'd do:

Franzen, Cleary, Kindl, 2nd for Mike Green (RFA)

Filppula, White, 1st for Keith Yandle

Then our D looks like:

Yandle - Green
Kronwall - Ericsson
Smith - Quincey

Not bad and you could even put Carle in for Quincey if you like. Thats a good young D corps that is one Shea Weber away from being the best in the league.

Timonen from PHI, Streit from NYI?

Who the hell knows at this point...

[Dabura]

Yandle and Girardi? Make Dabura's dreams come true?
