Umberger for Koivu or Heatley, you eat 2 million off either of their salaries

I'm not sure why you wouldn't think they'd play together. 2/3 were banged up against Chicago and they did ok, albeit not on the score sheet.

Throwing Vanek with Koivu and? Pominville is not a 3rd line guy unless you are thinking Koivu, Vanek, and Pommy with Granlund, Parise, Coyle. I don't think it'd make a lot of sense going with Nino as a 3rd line guy though if you put Haula, Nino, Zucker out there, you'd have crazy potential.

I'm probably the only guy that thinks Brodziak, Cooke, McCormick (Fontaine) could be a solid 4th.

I just don't see Fletcher adding another contract like Vanek to the roster without getting rid of a larger contract (Koivu). That's why I thought it would be unlikely to see them play together.
It seems like more and more teams are trying to get to the point where they can roll out 3 lines, all playing somewhat equal minutes, so I don't see why a guy like Nino or Coyle would suffer playing on a 3rd line. Like you said, Haula centering Nino and Zucker would be pretty fun to see.

To say "Koivu or Heatley" means that you view these players as equals, which just may be the most absurd thing I have ever read... and I want Koivu traded more than anyone.
Not to mention the fact that Heatley is no longer under contract with the Wild. I should have just ignored you from the get go

I just want Umberger gone. Forgot to check Heatley's FA status. Koivu for Umberger then
