where do you see 24 and/or 21 going?
- riptheguard

I could see Detroit for 24.....I don't have any idea about 21.

Just a guess.

As I mentioned the other day IncarceratedBob did have the Sabres and Blues making a deal the night before they dealt for Brad Boyes. Didn't have names but did have both teams right.

I was hoping it was another site reporting this deal with Tampa though because when I saw the source it was a buzz kill.

Iggy+ Jones/MacKinnon/Drouin>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Lucic.
- dadeadhead

Probably, yes.

Bostons pick goes the other way is how I read it.
- dadeadhead

If Boston ends up with Iginla and a top-5 pick I will be so royally pissed. Will be happy to not see Lucic as much though.

Thats probably true, but the ownt have Iggy for long. Lucic is 24, Iggy 35.
- Homer

Wow, I had to look it up I didnt believe you. Thought Lucic was at least 28 already.

They'll have Iggy for 3 more years, but dropping Lucic to stay stocked with younger franchise type player talent isnt all that bad. They still have a ton of toughness.

Also, I caught wind of Boston fans hating on Lucic's play this year. Said hes out of shape and just seems like hes taken a step back.

Could Minny Wild be a realistic landing place for 21?

I doubt its true though. If Iggy got scratched and he did why would Lucic still be in the line up jepordizing the whole deal?

He did just become a new dad in January. Maybe he gained sympathy weight.

It would seem the Bruins are following the Patriots way of doing business.

- dadeadhead

But not the pick they are getting from EDM which will likely be a top 10 pick.

Minus Ryan Whitney + Lucic doesnt make that team any better.

Desyeker or how ever you spell it hasn't signed or agreed to sign with Edmonton yet.

Whitney has been a healthy scratch various times this season on a team in need of defense.

Losing the top 5 pick sets them back IMO.

No cap room, unless we take an awful one back like Setoguchi or Heatley.

where do you see 24 and/or 21 going?

24 to the wings for Andersson

- dadeadhead

how many top 5 picks does a team need before they turn the corner though? I'd say getting an estblished player for a top 5 pick is a good play for them, IMO.

Another thought:

If Miller is gone?

Stafford/Regher for Bernier?

LA wont do that.....would be nice though.

Not gonna lie.


If they move Vanek and replace him with Heatley......... I wouldn't be that upset.

Would take a pick as well me thinks.

They need to mix in a d man at some point.

I don't want that murderer on my team.

I will strictly be a Blackhawks fan if that happens.

IMO they should've taken Murray over Yak.
