So the team is worse than Cal, Buf, Fla on paper ???

- Byfuglien Ate Me

our defence is worse than all 3 of those teams. our top 6 is better than all 3.
our bottom 6 is relative I suppose.
goaltending far worse than buffalo, but relative to fla and Calgary.

certainly no slam dunk we're better than any of em

eeeeeeeeeh. Matthias isn't exactly an imposing physical force and only has 10P.

More suited to a 3C role, whereas EDM's needs a new top 6C

- TheNugeIsHuge


okay. be bold. I have two for you.

gagner, nurse, petry, 2015 1st to the Peg.
ladd, big buff to edmonton.

yakupov, hemsky, n.shultz to washington.
brouwer, erat, alzner, 1st to edmonton.


don't worry about the cap. mac t can figure that part out. he's a genius.

wow too much there.

Morris and I were talking scenarios earlier.

EDM 2014 1st(top 3)+Klefbom(maybe gagner)+----->Byfuglien+WPG 2014 1st (depending where it is)

WPG 2014 1st(maybe+)----->Scandella

Some discrepancy based on what Big Buff and Scandella's values really are, but something in the neighbourhood'd go a long long way.

Your 2nd scenario isn't half bad but I'm not sure I'm ready to give up on Yak yet

there ya go.
so goaltending only relative to Calgary.

we suck. there's just no denying it.

and I even wanted to put a caveat on the 'best top 6' of those teams. ...'most offensively talented'

you have 3 former hawks, top 6 depth and 2 top pairing d-men in my deals. or imagine the room buff would give hall and nuge.

again, like any fan, responders overvalue their own players.

Not at all. Those are good players that have what? 3 or 4 years until free agency? Then What? Rebuild again?

- Jeropotato


you're right. the rebuild is right on track.

take some risk. be bold. make the team good and you'll attract free agents and resign players instead of having them leave like the yesterdays

You're not getting very far with buff as your no. 1 dman. If we trade for him eberle goes in a package for a top pairing d man, then buff plays upfront

EDM already has pretty good top 6 depth. Erat is sort of just like Hemsky and Brouwer, again is more of a 3C. I guess Ladd is a good 2C

I'd love Big Buff in EDM. I think he's a top 20 maybe even 15 D in the league

I think the rebuild is behind, but only by a year. We are better off trying to get solid pieces at free agency the next 2 summers and then making a push. We don't have the depth in assets to stock up through trades,yet.
