He has big plans for a "Ramen Noodle" stand in the main concourse. Hoping to cash in on some hungry Isles fans.

Wang probably thinks he will all new fans to screw over when he gets to Brooklyn.

They will put up with his crap for awhile.

He left all the others behind in Uniondale.

So many rumors out there. I just don't see us coming out of this with an actual roster player.
late 1st rd, decent prospect and late round for Vanek
2nd to 3rd round and mid grade prospect for MacDonald


Beyond that, I think that's all we'll see.

Yea... something like that.

Vanek will get us a 1st. for sure.... depending on the prospect we could get either a higher pick or lower pick.

Obviously bundled up together would be even better.

I think Amac will be at the very least a 2nd rounder. Trying for a first... might get it.

Could be a 2nd rounder with a prospect.

Hopefully Callahan is resigned... that will only help the market for Vanek.

If I was Garth (which I'm not)... I would through Frans, and few other names out there to see if anybody bites.

Neilsen would bring in a first rounder for sure.

Agreed that Callahan is screwing this whole process up. Same with Kesler.

I think Callahan will resign in NY but Kesler is the big X factor. I still say Vanek is in Anaheim by tomorrow night.

kessler definitely hurts vanek but i dont think hell be traded, the asking price is insane and if he isnt dealt it could lead to other GMs scrambling to get vanek...

They won't make any money...

Wang claims the millions of dollars he loses now on his taxes.

What's the word on his hotel?

They'll have a great profit line by eliminating SMG's greasy palms. Between their inflating cable contract, marketing, pricey luxury boxes, higher concession shares, the team will be in the best condition financially they've seen since the 1980's.

Wang won't sell. He'll want to recoup some of the millions he's lost over the last decade. I could however see him taking on a partner at some point since I don't think he ever wanted to be the sole owner.

Exactly if Wang does not put out a competitive team on the ice he will continue to lose money. He is not a hockey genius and should have hired people who actually know what they are doing

Just checking out the updated cap room for all the teams at the deadline.

Isles have 60 million to play with...

That is part of the problem????

But... Ducks are the only team with the cap space to add him without subtraction.

I say if they want him we trade him for a player and a pick. For once we have trading chips with a lot of value. We can not pass up on this opportunity. Enough of the draft picks we are not rebuilding anymore I thought. Lets get our needs right now and build for next year and beyond with quality players

This may be more the case with Amac than Vanek though as 'value' is only relative to the amount of perspective buyers/market. If only 2-3 teams are legit buyers for Vanek, his value drastically decreases for every minute that passes. Especially when other choices exist like Moulson and Jagr at a likely cheaper price.

The biggest concern should be that if Vanek doesn't go until the 11th hour, it's likely because Snow had to settle for the best offer as opposed to chooising an auction winner.

Streit and AMac pairing on the Flyers? How long will it take before Flyer fans are begging us to take Amac back? It took about 1/3 of the season before they realized what they got in Mark Streit.
