Clearly, you don't understand how hockey works... Games aren't won on "swag".

Did you say swag...

Me too, probably anyone on here agrees. He's a solid two way player, but doesn't know when to shot. I would even see what little more it would cost to get Hall and reunite him with Henrique, they played in Windsor. Maybe Matteau and a pick more with the offer I proposed above for Hall, Gagner, and MAYBE Hemsky, he gets injured alot but is very skilled.

To Edmonton:
Lokti (Could play with Nail)
Volch
Urbom
JJ
Matteau
2016 1st
Gelinas/Scarlett
Salvador? (He would have to go for cap reason)

To NJ:
Hall
Gagner
Hemsky

Would prefer Hall and Gagner over Hemsky for what we would be giving up.

holy poop you're joking right?

what the hell does me liking when a player has swag have to do with my not understanding how hockey works? obviously games aren't won on swag. the fact that you thought i was implying that makes you seem retarded.
- RAGSareDANGERus

swag isn't a word

Dude this is real life not NHL13. And thats an absolutely awful trade for Edm

What about Hemsky and a 2nd for Matteau?
- Sabreshark

take Volchenkov too and you have a deal

holy poop you're joking right?

first of all, 7 players for 3 is one of the dumbest things I've heard in my life. And why would they trade franchise players for our garbage?

It would be more like

Larsson, Henrique (to play with Hall) and Greene plus a 2014 #2 pick (which might be the first pick in the 2nd rd ) for Yak (to play with Boucher), Hemsky and Gagner

Yak > Larsson -he's has a little more value right now
Gagner > Henrique - also probably a little more value at this point
Greene > Hemsky - again, just a little more value
the pick just evens it out

and Edmonton still might not do it

It all makes sense now:

To Pit:

Urbom, Gelinas, Tedenby, Joesfsson, Volchenkov, Salvador, Olesz, the entire Albany Devils

To NJ:

Crosby, Malkin


I mean that's honestly a pretty fair deal, look how much more we're giving up!

I know this seems insane but when you play on the Devils and make a few million a year you usually end up living in a nice NJ suburb instead of Newark. It's not like they keep all of there players in a cell in the basement of the Prudential Center.

I honestly right now wouldn't do that, though I think it's a reasonable fair trade.

Our D is already mediocre, if we lose Larsson and Greene, forget about it.

And call me racist but honestly I'm not to keen and getting some young Russian superstar right now.

Too soon.

they don't?!?!?!

Lundqvist doesn't live in the cellars of Penn Station?

Not to mention most of the European guys live in Manhattan too. Literally a 15 minute ride on the path train from downtown to the Prudential Center, NJ

Exactly haha. That's pretty rediculous. But is there actually any legit reports if you guys being interested in Hemsky? He might be a good fit for you for a couple seasons.

However, I don't really know you're roster too well. That's the thing haha. So I don't know who's of trade value for Hemsky.

I am sure Lou is looking at all options, but Hemsky has always struck me as a pass first player. We need someone that is shoot first.

Yeah, I agree with this. Hemsky is sorta like Elias and we def don't need another Czech looking to the rafters every time he misses a layup goal.

So it looks like Malkin is no longer the best player wearing 71, as that is the number Clarkson will wear. Also the revers of Wendel Clark's number, so it seems like he's really living his childhood dream. Wonder if that dream ended with him getting bought out.
