There's a rumour floating around that everyone but Katz wanted Murray. Katz wanted Yakupov, Oil took Yakupov.

i always have a hard time believing those types of rumours, but if true, then god help that franchise.

why use that pick on someone who will be a 3rd liner at best. take a chance on ehlers. the kid has amazing skills!
- Ravenz93

Ehlers, Ritchie, Fleury, McCann. I think I'd be happy with any of those guys.

Get rid of all of those guys...it's the NHL's version of car dealers choosing retirees to drive their customer service vehicles. Or starters at golf courses.

i can't believe Old Man Fletcher is still there. i can just picture him those board meeting, suggesting the team go after Joel Otto and Ted Donato this summer.

Would have worked if they moved one or two, but they may have been afraid they'd regret that deal later on as the player developed. Hard to not like your top draft picks too much.

Exactly. What value could he possibly bring?

If Ekblad were there - yes, but he won't be. Can't go wrong with Reinhart or Bennett, then move one of their existing forwards later on in a trade.
- Woderwick

but they wont! they'll hold onto them forever!

its working for the oilers thats for damn sure.

And Staal. He was pretty helpful in their Cup win.

but they wont! they'll hold onto them forever!
- Dozzer

Yes, see my post above. Got to have the balls to trade them, or at least a deal they couldn't pass up...wouldn't think that would be easy to do.

Who would they trade though ? No way you move Hall or RNH. Eberle? I doubt they want to move Eberle.

Well how? Whys it make any sense to trade Any of those guys?

If RC stays do they force him to get new assistants??
- burn

I would think so

Exactly. What value could he possibly bring?
- Woderwick

not sure. he's probably got good scouting reports on Martin Brodeur and Jaromir Jagr.

And make stupid amounts of money.
