Was he two years ago, when the trade occurred? I think you mean in a year or two's time Schenn will be on the same playing field as Eberle (3-4 years after he was traded).

And I won't disregard this, simply fact is Schenn was dealt based on potential. Eberle has proven that already.

Yeah, no doubt, Schenn's a great player and if we want to keep a lot of the kids indefinitely and grab a player or the Carter/Richards/Staal/Johnson/Shattenkirk/Hossa caliber, we need to be prepared the cost could be a package of pretty much any prospect, 1sts and 2nds, and one of our current role players.

People are too quick to deny that package for star deals happen just as often - if not more often - than star for star deals.

Before you move the superstars you move the Gagner or Prv or Klefboms of the world.

I have no issue trading an Eberle, but that happens in a 2-4 years from now when we've exhausted every other avenue and have hit a wall.

The people that come in here criticizing Cloutier's callous plugging and swapping on the roster on one hand, and recommend trading two players out of a pool that have played 1, 2 and 3 seasons respectively...

-Magnus Paajarvi and Ales Hemsky for Jamie McBain and Tuomo Ruutu

-Magnus Paajarvi and Ales Hemsky for Martin Hanzal and Zbynek Michlaek

These trades are fair no matter what any of you think. Doesn't mean the Canes/Yoes would do either, but from a value stand-point, these are fair.

-Resign Ryan Jones

-Sign Brendan Morrow and Viktor Stalberg

Hall-RNH-Jones
Stalberg-Gagner-Eberle
Morrow-Hanzal/Ruutu-Yakupov
Smyth-Horcoff-Brown

Schultz-Schultz
Petry-Smid
Fistric-Michlaek/McBain

Have at me you fruits

- mochoson


I'd be alright with that aside from bringing jones back

You'll get there. You guys are going to be like the Blackhawks, there's not even gonna be a "pay your dues" phase.

It's gonna go from no playoffs to Bam! Conference finals, then multiple cup runs after that. You're future is too bright.

MacTavish pretty much said it's time to stop (frank)ing around and build some real depth around this young core. It's time to put a real team on the ice. I wouldn't be surprised if you trade your first if Darnelle Nurse gets drafted before 7. If not, you're probably taking him.

Then Nurse will be 2-3 years away but you have Klefbom coming over to join J.Schultz,N.Schultz,Smid,Petry and whoever you acquire this off-season
