Not for what Vancouver is asking, now if its just a salary dump, then I might consider

I'll take Luongo for free. That's about it with that contract.

I am sure there are other decent goalies capable of putting up save percentages over.900

First NHL game will be an elimination game in the playoffs? No way. Look at how shaky Lee was defensively...you're going to trust Strome? He'd probably end up playing like 5 minutes and everyone else would have to take up the slack.

Maybe they leave Joensuu and Ullstrom takes Nielsen's spot...otherwise it'll probably be Reasoner, and as much as I can't stand the guy, he's a safer choice defensively than Strome or Nelson.

- UIF

One game won't hurt him and I'd much rather have Strome's skill and speed over Reasoner s nothing

Thomas is a head case and probably won't ever play in the NHL again no matter what team. Plus he is old and would only be a temporary solution even if he did play. Need a longer term goaltending solution. I'd look at Ryan Miller although I think I am in the minority there. Would only trade for him if I knew an extension would get banged out. I haven't seen enough of Bernier to see what all the hoopla is about with him.

Im not saying I would, it depends on other scenario's
but who would you rather have next yr, Nabby or Lou, if Lou was just a salary dump

No word yet on Nielsen, doesn't sound encouraging though

- potvin05

If Neilsen can't go I would go with Brock Nelson...stick him between Moulson (or Bailey) and Okposo...he'll be ok...

Head case or not, still a good option,
also would like Isles to look into younger goalie

even tho, Nillson will be the future

How about Mike Smith from Phoenix...he did well in the playoffs last year and is only 31...made $2 million this year...has a 1.88 GAA and .945 Save % in playoffs...wouldn't have to give up an asset or pick...

I mentioned him the other day, ppl think he's a product of the system alla Bryz
but he was good in TB, just never given the opportunity
but will not give him a crazy contract, 3-4yrs max

he's battle tested, so he fits....

3 or 4 year contract at $4 million per would probably get it done...I would think playing for the Islanders might not be a bad thing now...I'm sure players have seen how the Coliseum is during the playoffs. Plus Brooklyn is around the corner. If Snow is going to sign free agents, "the wind is at his back" this summer...

Built a team out of non NHL Euros. Petr Ton from the Czech league has a devastating wrist shot.

Now's the time. Assets are starting to get logjammed in the system and giving up a first round pick this year won't be like moving a top 5 pick. I've been very against trading our first pick, until this year. It's still high enough to be valuable but it's not like we're gonna move it and miss out on Jones or Drouin.
