You want the Hawks to give you a stanley cup winning, 28 year old goaltender (who they have locked up for the next six years) and Saad for your 33 year old goaltender who is an UFA this summer? I like Ryan Miller, but this makes no sense at all.

Unless you throw in John Scott...

Apparently this is the no fun boards.

I'll clarify. Fantasy offer. That is all.

Well that's why I sent McNabb in my hypothetic offer. And I can't emphasize that enough.

Saad hopefully..is going NOWHERE

Bickell returns in mid-season form.. 13 shifts..1 shot on
goal-from 40 feet away-no goals..no assists..no hits..

Patrick Kane is really good at hockey

Not sure the Miller thing works, but I'd love to see him here.

I've never been a fan of CC, but he was great in the playoffs last year. But inconsistent, and not a top 10 NHL goalie.

On the other hand, what I've seen from Raanta is that he can get to that level. Needs better understanding of the North American game, including the rinks, travel demands, opponents, speed, etc. He's got top level skill. Already a better glove hand than CC, as well as better in seeing through screens and better in scrambles. Much more agile.

My opinion is in 2 years Raanta will be a better NHL goalie than CC.

His rebound control needs a lot of work. On a different team, those juicy rebounds might not get cleared away so quickly.

Bicks is my boy...and he was indeed InvisiBickell last night...but he'll ramp up his game with a few more starts...needs a minute to shake off the rust and feel comfortable physically.

I'll take his mid season form so long as he brings his play off form in April.

I hope you're not referring to me. I was simply making a fantasy offer for fun.

If the shoe fits...

He's Ok. Maybe the Hawks can get Miller for him ... ummm so long as we add Crawford and Saad.

Unless its to the Steelheads!!!!!

we need a new coach first and foremost....and Saad'r ain't coming back to junior...we KNOW this.

Shoe doesn't fit. I know we're bad and I'm not here to hustle crappy players to anyone. I just like making fantasy trade talk with other teams every so often when the blog suggests an idea. Guess this was a terrible place to start.

We don't deal in fantasies here, trades or otherwise, unless they are our own.

You should be jumping on the Brampton Beast bandwagon!

It's all good bro...we guard our assets with a vengeance. Miller's an interesting proposition but the Crow locked up with a huge deal...hard to bring in a guy of his stature. I'd be shocked if the Hawks went after Miller. CC would have to a serious issue. And when last seen, that's exactly how it looked.

I actually peeped one of their games on local cable the other day. Not bad hockey...but wasn't imitating Flash looking for my car keys either.

He should have suggested something that involved Steve Ott.... Oh my God what have I started?

Bicks is my boy...and he was indeed InvisiBickell last night...but he'll ramp up his game with a few more starts...needs a minute to shake off the rust and feel comfortable physically.
- philco28

That's the point - he'll ramp up his game with a few more starts. Hopefully that's the case.

Bickell just got back from being down for a month. I'm not going to poop on him yet. I'll give him a few games before I start doing that.

Let's get Steve "Gretzky" Ott. This team doesn't have enough RED ASS!!!

Catcher's mitt ? Or a young Madonna after she moved to NYC ?

I'll play the hypothetical rumor card. How about Kane for Miller? Kidding.

Brandon Saad and a (low) first?

Also in reality it makes negative sense to send over Miller unless you send Crawford back. Or Crawford just lays on LTIR for a year. How abouts Saad and Crawford for Miller, McNabb and our 2nd.

Please no flaming, just a friendly discussion.
- TheSabresTaco

How about we send you Khabby for Molson. I mean one pint of Molson.

Both?

Exactly...even with a normally sluggish dude like Bicks, it will take a few games to get into his normal floater mode...but as Paul said...as long he wakes up in April and stays healthy throughout...we're good. Dude's been nicked up a lot....knee, thumb and now the latest injury. Wonder if he's ever been 100 % since last spring ?
