You don't get if you don't ask, right???



(Mike and I have had numerous conversations, both on here and on twitter, regarding the gulf in class between our favourite team's respective GM/coach combination... )

Maybe he trades Carle and a pick for a better defensman like andrej sekera(hes on the trading block isnt he)?

If he can't be resigned he is. But that's priority one for the canes, extending him. I also highly doubt he's moved for anything less than a second round pick & a medium level prospect. He has an insanely great cap hit the rest of the season and if he's traded to a playoff team the canes will get a 1st rounder for him. He's also the kind of d-man that will be highly sought after on the trade market, someone will overpay for him.

Not from this coming year; it seems that most teams (not called NYI) are treating this years picks like gold.

I could see it where it was a prospect and a 2nd from 2016, with the second becoming a first from 2016 if he resigns.

Don't bother.


He's really not very good.

He's quite possibly the worst defenseman in the league. If we were looking for a 15th forward, I'd be all over this idea.

I think if we could swing Sekera even if for the rest of the year it would be a great move.

Any other D-man out there close to UFA status worth looking at around the trade deadline?

Yes I hope because I'm not sold on sustr and barberio

Why?

I cannot shake the mental association between Sustr and Cory Cross - both are/were similar types of players. Tall, young, rangy, not very physical, and not very good. I am not sold on Sustr.

Carle is not worth his cap-hit, but with the loss of Brewer, we need some experience on D. If we cannot unload his contract, then stick him on third-pairing where he should do better.

If Cooper insists on putting Carle on the second pairing, then I would pair him Stralman - at least Stralman can carry Carle's dead weight.

Hedman - Garrison
Stralman - Carle
Gudas - Barberio
Sustr

Or something along those lines.

But, I think Cooper will stick with Hedman-Stralman. That pairing is lethal.

From the times article by Joe Smith.



I like Yzerman, I like our situation now heading into the trade deadline with the extra cap space and depth of players.

Martin St.Louis has demanded a trade back to Tampa. All apart of his master plan.

Glen Sather says no unless he gets at least Brenden Morrow and a 6th.

Hedman might be back today!!! Im so happy

@DaveLozo: Berube on Lecavalier: "He needs to work harder and he needs to be a better player and he needs to play with more structure and dig in more."

Not. Gonna. Happen.
