I can see a team giving up a good amount for Vanek (maybe even enough to make darcy consider it).
- Rally_Shots

Atleast one of Vanek or Miller will move I can't see either being here to start the season.

I would hope Calgary stays at 6, and if available, takes Nich. He is a franchise player.

As for the rumor, it was just floating on the Flames thread. Not sure what the source is...

Very risky to assume that, I think CGY takes the safe route and grabs Monahan.

I would not agree with that, and neither do their fans.

Really? Halak had a 2.14 GAA and Elliot a 2.28, and even better in the playoffs.

he's Russian. Too many questions for my taste.
- Homer

Disagree. I'd take him just fine. Don't care where he was born.

hear anything on the assistant coaches?

A top six, top 4 D a first and a prospect for miller. Are you kidding me, that's a joke!!!!!! Over paid for Bernier, I don't think so, leafs stole him. Buffalo will not make the playoffs next year. Miller time, I don't think so.

might be Cassidy and Teppo, not sure though. Thats just a guess, hope its a bad guess.

sadly I have to agree with most of this

A name I've heard is Jeff Blashill. Just won a Calder Cup with Grand Rapids.

Would love to get a hold of someone from the Wings organization.

so is your source still employed by the team?

I have more than once source, so yes.

Mac t should be stoned to death if he gives up gagner and the 7th pick for a declining goalie.

Ok thanks for clearing that up, just wondered from what I heard.

where'd you hear that??

Stole a backup goalie on a great time......Maybe he becomes the next Marty Turco or maybe he's the next Jocelyn Thibault......Looks like a fair deal given the fact he wasn't going to see much ice with Quick between the pipes..

Logical price for Miller to a contender or wannabe contender would be a first rounder between 15 and 30

Stafford for another underperformer

Vanek could get you a 1st and a pair of upper level prospects

Reggie for a second rounder

Other than that I would doubt we see Coho, Ennis or the Big Easy moving....

Miller is worth more than a mid to lower 1st and I can't stand the guy.

And a 2nd for Sekera...

where'd you hear that??

Oh boy lol although Garth did have the Roy/Ott-Pardy deal

Very risky to assume that, I think CGY takes the safe route and grabs Monahan.

I would argue Lindholm is a much safer bet. He is more naturally skilled, and gaining muscle mass is easier than teaching gifts.

Fun fact: CBC's opening video montages are simply incredible.

Thanks for the background check on Rene Rancor NBC

not really....have to wait and see. I'd be suprised if Miller or Vanek get traded at the draft.
- Homer

Any talk of Ott being moved this yr?


He has no reason to burn the back half of his career on a long term rebuild.

Hate to lose him to UFA for nothing.

One of those trades that is perfect for both sides. Impressed with Nonis.

As for your projections....I agree completely. Fair enough, except, KEEP VANEK.
