There is a lot of things they need on the blue line. Reilly is exactly what they need
- Bieksa#3

Fair enough, but if we were giving up Reilly, the target would be RNH.

With Lupul, Kessel, JVR, and Clarkson, our wingers are pretty set. An upgrade on bozak, would be fine though.

Looking at their stats, I ask which one is which
- Bieksa#3

Reimer easily...That said he's no Luongo for sure...

This is why Yaks is benched.

"I like playing with the puck. I don't really like skating all the time, forechecking, playing the body."

Yikes. Still untouchable?

Yikes is right

I mean lots of guys think that, but to say it

Its gonna cost more then Reilly for yaks. That's a given. Its gonna cost a lot more the Reilly for Nuge.

I guess pts tells the whole story. Good post bud
- Bieksa#3

Thanks bud. He was playing out of his natural position the majority of the time and is still managing a ppg pace. He admitted that he wasn't a great center. Watch him now that he's back on the wing. There's nothing average about his play

How old were u when your parents made u wear a helmet?

don't think reilly is the solution to edm's d-man woes.

Rielly for Yaks??...Wouldn't do it...

I'm thinking Gagner and Yak for Booth and Lu.

Leafs may need to add Kessel to get it done.
- daws44

That's fine. If u think your going to get a 19 yr old 1st overall for scraps or aging vets, your hockey wisdom speaks for itself. But Reilly and a 1st/very good roster player is a fair value deal.

That's what I said, but they didn't agree

Did I not note in original post he was playing out of position

I never said it wouldn't.. I said if we were going to give up Reilly, our target would be RNH. Yak doesn't address a need for us. We would love to have him, but he's not a necessity. RNH is a need for, another top 6 centre (I'm not too fond of Bozak). If we aren't addressing a need, why give up Reilly who would be our future top 2 D-man?

So what your saying is your not very bright

Good luck with that

Not straight up... Read above.

So give me your nuge proposal

I'm thinking Gagner and Yak for Booth and Lu.
- whosyodaddy

sure if you throw in gaunce and horvat and take hemsky too.

So what your saying is your not very bright
- Bieksa#3

Bright enough to not make that trade...Rielly gonna be a stud in this league..Yak off to a great start towards bolting back to the mother land...

Not a chance...

How old were u when your parents made u wear a helmet?
- Bieksa#3

Judging by the level of humour in this post I would suggest your parents
dropped the ball and allowed you to go it helmetless.

Seeing as how you guys are throwing around proposals and need D how about:

Ebs plus pick for Edler plus Tanev or Corrado?

Finally gives the Canucks a second line while giving Edm a young top defensive pairing?

sure if you throw in gaunce and horvat and take hemsky too.

Throw in Nurse and it's a deal.

Listen, we all know Yaks is untouchable so there is no point dreaming up trades.

You are correct. Me along with the rest of the planet has no need to wear a helmet while doing regular duties such as eating and walking down the street. Just because your parents made u wear one during the same activities, doesn't make it normal
