I don't mean to be rude, but this is like two peanuts trying to crack a pistachio.
a) Buff does not equal Cout in a trade (Cout has the better ceiling)
b) Cout and Read for Buff is something I would have to cry about for awhile
c) Winnipeg trading their most consistent D for F help makes no sense.

Buff is that wierd intangible player that can do much more than play hockey but get into the heads of the opposition. He is a character as much as Torres but only to the point that he changes games, he is not negative.

I would love to see him in a Canuck Uni. I just do no tthink they come in his size.

Buff was second in scoring last year for a defenseman. Wtf are these flyers fans thinking???? Buff, outside of giroux, is the best player on your team by far. You are delusional to think otherwise.

Or, you would not ask (nor expect to receive if Winn) for 2 top-6 talents for him.

You are not thinking correctly. Or, must be the cold in Winnipeg.
He may be the 6th best player if traded to Philly, depending on the return.

Jet will never trade Buff he is under contract at a reasonable price for the future.

The only reason ek thinnks we should trade him is because he wants him in philly.

- duckyjets


Ya, where is this rumour coming from? Why would Jets even entertain the thought of trading this guy? If he is available, he'll I'm all over that, the guy is a stud

Iginla and a 3rd for Teravainen, Saad and a 1st (which would probably be the 30th pick overall)

Absolutely trade him & let him win his cup in 2-3 years, whatever it takes & then bring him back for his last year & to management. Please call Edwards & tell him personally.

Done.

Ironically, Teravainen was probably the guy they should have taken instead of Jankowski so that would be a bonus.

I don't.
Sorry (well, not to you, you're a dirty oil fan).
If Eberle played for the Flames, he'd be my new favorite player. I see him being as good as Stamkos in a yr or so.

- FLflames34


Don't get me wrong I love Eberle but his career highs in points will hover around what he got last year. He'll become more of a complete player but stamkos numbers are out of his reach, not that's a huge knock for 99% of the league stamkos numbers are unattainable especially playing in the SE

Flames fans cherry picking 2 of our most promising prospects for a rental is NOT DONE.

Teravainen will NOT be traded, he is untoucahble and Saad is pretty close, but I could see consideration to move Saad IF a legit 2nd line center were available (which Iggy is not).

Don't get me wrong, I respect Jerome Iginla as much as any player in the league, but he won't be playing in Chicago. I'd love to have him, but Iggy is more a luxury for the Hawks and not a necessity. Adding his heart, character, and leadership would be nice, but we already got that. Sure, he'd add some grit and toughness, something the Hawks lack, but you don't deal the future for that.

We need a player/center who can win a damn faceoff and be part of our 2nd PP unit. I still like Bozak in Toronto to be a candidate for that role.

Bozak cant be moved unless we are getting a number one center and your 1st round pick is pretty much worthless to the leafs as we need that center now not in 3-5 years. But I do see Bozak fitting well for Chicago so maybe leafs trade for a center with other assets and keep Bozak for a trade with Chicago.

I never said it was realistic, just said "Done" to indicate I would do the deal in a heartbeat . I agree the Hawks don't really need him
