He is rumored to want out.

He never wanted to leave Buffalo.

NTC (can designate eight teams he will accept a trade to; team has 45 days from date of notice received to trade him to one of those teams)

Many times though a NTC gets voided once traded.

I'd still say its prob a longshot he'd wanna come back
But I'd be ok with it
Does Fla wanna dump him though?
I'm not giving up assets to get him

He'd help get us to the floor
Depends what Carolina will throw in to get us to take him off their hands
And I'm not giving up much
Get rid of Enroth or Neuvirth though?

He's been a pile of sh!t for a few years now.


Has 2 years at 6.3 cap hit but is owed 13.5 in actual dollars.

Funny....the Ek Blog states that the asking price for Campbell is high. But he's a 35 year old (where does the time go?) defenceman making over 7 million....I would think Florida would be begging teams to take him off their hands. He's good, but he can't have much left in the tank, so there's only so many legit contenders he can go to and even fewer of them have the cap space. I'd be fine with taking his salary on as a favor if it got us something else, but we certainly don't NEED him. And I'm all for Moulson coming back. Give him a full-on 7 year contract....

Guys like him - fluid, effortless skaters - can play forever. He had 37 points last year on a terrible team.

Is there gas in the car? Yes, there's gas in the caaaarrr....

Louie Eriksson

Bruins really need some capspace, and he had a very underwhelming season
On Dallas, he was a solid 2nd/top line player
4.25mil cap hit for 2 more years
I bet Boston would take a pick and/or mid-level prospect to get rid of the contract

At 28, I think he fits in to the rebuild & could be a nice vet presence to help guide the kids

Bruins would prob be more likely to trade him to a bottom team like us than buy him out and let a contender pick him up

Adam and a 3rd?
Carrier?

That team is in a huge hole. I can't see them being a contender anytime in the near future. The few upsides are demolished by some huge mistakes. That vanek trade was crippiling. They forfeit their 1st and 2nd next year to us. Players seem to avoid that place like the plague. Ofcourse they do the same here but buffalo fans are not oblivious to this fact. We know that we have to build our team through many high draft picks and prospects over a few consecutive seasons. Just soo weird trying to talk to them about it.

It's tough to think we got a 91.4 especially after Zags and Persson. Woof.

I blame the videoscout 3000

Sorry if I missed the discussion, but did you guys watch the Murray interview regarding Leino, free agency and the draft?

http://www.wgrz.com/story...-clears-waivers/10806741/

Also, Ekblad's interview? I love the insider look. Very cool.
