Honestly, none of them intrigue me considering how far away we are.

Kea could end up being our Boyle in a few years.

Boyle and Rupp though on 3 years deals ~ 1.5-3 MM per would not be a bad thing.

It fits what Murray said about getting bigger up front.

I would definitely keep them to shorter contracts. That is for sure.

trade talk:

COl. gets Myers, MIKHAIL GRIGORENKO. 2014 31st overall, and st louis 1st in 2015

Would you do it if Parenteau was Tyson Barrie? Doubt Colorado would do that but I'm just curious.

I would make the 2015 1st a 2nd, and push for Barrie.

ROR is a good 2nd line Center. That is all.

Not giving up that for a second line Center.

Edit - he may be better suited for wing. Scored a lot of points from that position this year.

So much rebuild through the draft.
- cabin

That trade wouldnt help next year at all. It would give us our number one center. The 1st round pick would be a late round pick. I would prolly try to substitue myers for ehroff. He is a better player now at alot more reasonable cap hit. Also if they sign statsny that means O'reily is gone. P-A PARENTEAU is just an add on to make Col. accept the deal because they dont want to pay him. He is pretty much the same player as stafford

Still a hard pass. We need to get our top 6 before we trade for a player who is a 3rd line center, low end 2nd line center. Long way to go before we would trade for a player like ROR.

We have another new blogger?
Been a while since I have stopped by here.
Good blog by the way.

Soft pass, I still think Grigorenko can turn out to be a special player.

RoR would be a great #2C for us. Great possession stat's and nice scoring touch still being developed.

I heard same thing that if they work out deal with Statsny it makess RoR more expendable, hoping for an offer sheet and many picks.

The fact they're shopping PA shows they're trying to free up $, they have plenty of space to make all players fit but obviously working under some budget constraints. Ahhh the good ole days

This ROR talk just won't go away will it, he isn't leaving the AVS,

I mean, we're on Eklunds website, right?

You do not come around much ! On the whole Sabre fans are a more intelligent very well educated to what is going on compared to other teams fans . Then we have the odd drive by totally dumb unrealistic post . Then those that post the sillyness continue the point of just stupidity . With no grasp on Reality .

We love the intelligent exchange of ideas around here mixed in with some levity . Just plain dumb is not any fun !

Tin man would've let it go

That's the thing with inside jokes, only funny to people on the inside. They're hard to keep tabs on and sometimes we'll err on the side of caution.

Everyone's pretty tired of the pissing matches, so again - err on the side of caution.
