daley going on the ir kills this rumor IMO
- homiedclown


Daley is already back; he'll play tonight. Larsen (possible concussion) and Rome (foot) are now out.

Personally, I don't think Robidas will get moved until next season, when he'll be an impending UFA in the summer of 2014.

As for now, he still leads all Dallas D-men in ice time and his pairing with Brenden Dillon (who has been a real pleasant surprise as a rookie) is just about the only thing that been consistently good on the Stars' blueline this year.

On the flip side, with one year left on his contract beyond this year, Dallas could get a little more value in return by trading him this year. One thing they do have in the organization is a number of promising young D men. They have a need for young wingers with some scoring upside.

Robidas is 35, he's experienced. I'm sure he can be a mentor to help the younger Leaf defense. He's still got some gas left in the tank. Probably wouldn't cost alot either due to his age.

he's also old, getting older... and slower.

Sure as hell not giving up a first-round pick for a 35-year old in a really deep draft year.

Best offer:

Yannick Weber
Frederic St-Denis
2013 2nd round pick
2013 5th round pick

I laugh at the idea that Weber adds anything to any offer.

surprise aging defence man with one year left on contract currently on a bubble team available at deadline this is unheard of
- shill-17


I found this equally outrageous.
So am I to conclude that the Stars adamantly refused to deal him prior to now?
Hard to imagine parting ways with the 20pts he brings to the team and the negative +/-.

Weber is a young offensive defenceman who hasn't been given a legitimate chance in the NHL. He has a cannon shot which can be very effective on the PP. Sure, like many (if not all) offensive defencemen his age, he has defensive issues, and sure, he isn't very big or physical. But to say he adds no value to any offer is just silly, especially considering the premium on defencemen this year.

Luongo didn't storm off all pissed off cause he wasn't pulled in this game? He didn't pull a Patrick Roy of 1995, yelling at the coach saying he'd never play for them again? Mabie cause Roy is an egomaniac perhaps.

he can't hear you, and i bet you can guess why

I believe sloppy seconds have been through Komisarek as well. It might feel weird in the dressing room..
