Yard Sale! Now teams know we are selling for good.

How is Pitt fitting all this under the cap?!
Jesus... Their GM is a friggen genius

If they placed one of their inured players (martin) on long term IR I think his cap hit no longer affects the team.

This was in response to anyone thinking they'll get anything of great value from a team like LA, or Edmonton, or Anaheim...or, getting a better return for a 500+ goal scoring captain for a 60 point-per-year captain (who's been dissed on here over nad over again) with 1 year left. Pittsburgh got arguably the best captain in the NHL for 2 college kids and a 1st. Don't expect any rosters players or backup goalies coming back from playoff teams.

you just dont like Pominville, or value him enough, like I said before, and I listed the reasons, he would get more than Iggy.

So you're saying Pominville would get a better return that Wayne Gretzky if Gretzky had a NTC and was a UFA?
- jmatchett383

You're going overboard now...

Any interest in Miller?
I'd like Simmonds +
If Bryzgalov will waive his ntc I'll even take that awful contract off your hands, but to do so will cost u extra
Whatcha think?

I didnt think he'd get a second, I guess you had a crystal ball.

same, didn't know 2nd was happening. now i def want a mid first for regehr!

man two years in a row of 2 1sts and 2 2nds = fun drafts, i hope this happens!

the best part is we could do a whole lot more at the deadline beyond having 4 draft choices in the top 60! this is exciting!

Give Myers some credit for that goal...
Wouldn't have happened if he didn't step up n pinch to keep the puck in

I just want to give you guys some perspective, if I may.
In 2010, the Flyers traded Gagne who was fresh off of posting 12 points in 19 playoff games. He had 1 year left until UFA status. The return was Matt Walker and a 4th. I know TDL deals bring greater returns, but this isn't NHL 13, and no teams fighting for a playoff spot that makes a deadline deal is going to give you a player that will weaken them going into the playoffs. So teams like Anaheim, NYI, LA, Columbus, and Edmonton probably aren't looking to move key pieces.
- jmatchett383

True...
But swapping Regehr for Muzzin, or Pominville for Toffoli, or getting Bernier if we give them back a competent backup (Enroth +)...
Those are deals that happen all the time
And we'd prob be happy getting picks & prospects back too
