frankgrimes 1,836 Report post Posted June 30, 2014 (edited) No wonder why people dislike sean avery,How dare he call Nashville a dump. What the he'll is wrong with Avery? Guy has to comment on everything and why slam the city ? For people who love the small town feeling and music Nashville has a lot to offer. He could learn from Spezza he nixed the trade yeah but didn't trashtalk about the city nor its fans. Wear your *** men handbags and shut up Avery. Glad we got rid of that bigmouth Edited June 30, 2014 by frankgrimes Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Richdg 267 Report post Posted June 30, 2014 Thought I would bring this back up. Now that the draft has passed, now would be the time to make a serious inquiry. Everyday that passes Ott looses trade leverage. We could use a big RHed F that scores. A line of Z-Spezza-Nyquist would be very good. All 3 guys have or could score 30 if healthy, which is the risk of course. Maybe we should try to go big with Ott. Spezza and Ryan. Think about this forward group for a few: Mantha-Datsyuk-Ryan Z-Spezza-Nyquist/Jurco Weiss-Sheahan-Franzen Abby-Glendening-Miller That is pretty damn good.

krsmith17 7,191 Report post Posted June 30, 2014 So how exactly did you get two of Ottawa's best forwards? You traded Tatar, Helm, a couple prospects and draft picks? Not going to do it. Also, there is no way that lineup would be cap compliant... Unless you also traded away Howard, Kronwall and Ericsson and signed scrubs... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nev 1,085 Report post Posted June 30, 2014 Most of the Canadian teams in the NHL need to do a much better job building around the stars in their top 6. Preferably before they lose said star player. Ottawa at one point had a deadly top 6. Spezza, Havlat, Hossa, Alfie, Chara, Redden (when he was good.......). They just never had the goaltending. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

PavelValerievichDatsyuk 1,935 Report post Posted June 30, 2014 Spezza, Havlat, Hossa, Alfie, Chara, Redden (when he was good.......). They just never had the goaltending.

Z Winged Dangler 2,082 Report post Posted June 30, 2014 Spezza, Havlat, Hossa, Alfie, Chara, Redden (when he was good.......). They just never had the goaltending. Wasn't Hasek their goalie in 2006 when they lost the SCF to the Ducks? As far as acquiring Spezza goes, with his back in question apparently, I would want them to take a ? back in the trade in Franzen. I'd offer them Franzen, Kindl and our 2015 1st. And there's no way we can get Ryan unless we want to lose Smith, Nyquist or Tatar and Sproul or Ouellet. Ryan's value is higher than Spezza's at the moment.

Richdg 267 Report post Posted June 30, 2014 Keep in mind Spezza and Ryan are both UFA's after this season and OTT is broke. Well their owner is, thus why they are looking to dump salary. We could very easily put together a deal for both and resign both of them-which should be agreed to ahead of time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And secondly, if I recall correctly Holland didn't want Ryan last year. I could be mistaken on that though. 1 krsmith17 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And secondly, if I recall correctly Holland didn't want Ryan last year. I could be mistaken on that though. You're correct. I think he said something about him being lazy or not trying or something and it turned out he had some weird illness all season long. But just because holland has no interest doesn't mean it's not worth dreaming about! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Richdg 267 Report post Posted June 30, 2014 When we look at what Van got for Kesler-younger and signed longer, and what Pitt got for Neal-slightly better scorer than Ryan, we could come up with a workable deal. Now is there any chance in hell that it happens? Nope. That would take some insight and balls. Yes it could backfire. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest DeGraa55 Report post Posted July 1, 2014 Those things don't matter in NHL14 But a disgruntled player DEMANING A TRADE DOES. If they can't move spezza alone thy may have to. Also the report I said showed Ottawa was going to try and resign Ryan once the first of July is here and if they can't reach deal he may be moved. Pure speculation by one of their writers...but def can happen. For some reason him not buying a house there has led to speculation he won stay. SO YOU MAKE AN OFFER...a good ******* offer not a holland low baller special. Then if they say no they do...least he tried. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
