Ok, I was being an ass.

He wouldn't suck if he'd playing where he should be playing... 3rd line+ PK.

There's a side of me that would rather keep him and trade Emelin... But one thing Emelin does that Gorges doesn't do is hit like a truck.

I agree but let's keep everybody for those intangibles and then lose them for nothing when contract is up and we HAVE to replace them.
For once sell high and try a kid.

Plus, let's be honest, it's not like they are absolute irreplaceable players too.

Sorry....not trollish enough for me.

Why is it when we even mention bringing up youth it's called a rebuild?
How about promotions? or giving them a chance?

BAITING!!!

Can't get rid of him either

Left handed Ds with the Habs
Markov
Emelin
Gorges
Beaulieu
Tinordi.

Would be nice to spare MArkov a bit and give him 2nd line minutes.
Emelin or Gorges shouldn't be playing with PK.

Beaulieu and Tinordi should also get regular minutes.

What to do....

Then the same should be said about Bourque, Gionta and Desharnais

The Andrei Markov contract breaks down like so: $7M in 2014-15 followed by $6M and $4.25M. @capgeek

Go URU !

Agreed BUT can you honestly say that we have the same problem with young F knocking at the door?

BTW I'd have NO problem get rid of those 3.

One guy who could have killed 2 birds with one stone, Matt Greene, is now off the table per Darren Dreger.

Stralman is UFA, not big guy tho.

We don't have the horses up front yet and might not for a couple of years so why not break in some D for when they are ready. I'd rather have some D with experience when the F is young and error prone.

I'd try and package Gorges/Emelin for Wheeler.

Good point. As for the forwards size is key. You don't win cups with Desharnais as a 1st center, just not happening. Too many Reways, Andrighettos and Lehkonens in our system. They need more guys like De LaRose

- WaterBoy

Oh yes I forgot.

Gorges ++
for
Wheeler.
- WaterBoy

While we're getting crazy:
Subban, Desharnais, Emelin for Wheeler,Buff,1st

Then

Plekanec, Gorges and 1st(Winnipeg's) for Thornton + Demers

Oh yes I forgot.

Gorges ++
for
Wheeler.

Oh well that makes sense.

Enstrom ++ for Subban.

I'd say the Columbus Blue Jackets pulled off a fantastic deal, and the Flyers did not.
