He has less term I believe that's his most endearing quality so we can move out more salary

Over pay. Sharp has 1 less year on his deal 2 million larger cap hit. And read I'd say is better defensively. I'd give read + 3rd rounder

6 and a half dozen, IMO.

Zepp was a nice story, but it's not like he or LaBarbera is going to morph into Bernie Parent.

Voynov remains suspended by league. La won't take action until leagues ruling. He will definitely be back with kings imo.

No I have Gagner at num 2 center there homeslice. Fehr can play wing or center but he's mostly played as a RW. He'd fit in nicely with Couturier and Read.

What? Are we trying to win a cup in the next 24 months or bust now? No way.

Only way I'm taking Sharp is if they somehow magically took interest in AMac.

If they'd take Vinny, RJ or AMac, great...otherwise, no desire for Sharp.

- Tfaehner


I think both guys are pretty comparable defensively. I would figure over the next two years the following guys will not be on the roster : Streit, L. Schenn, Vinny, Schultz, Gagner and Umberger . Real rough math(my calculations are based off Vinny's salary completely gone and Umberger bought out), but the cap savings is around $21 million. There will be guys to extend, but I'm not sure acquiring the extra $2 million for Sharp over Read is going to be that detrimental. Personally, I would only do the deal, if it was for a mid level prospect like a Manning or Cousins along with Read. I wouldn't be interested in giving up any draft picks in a deal for Sharp.

John Jaeckel knows him from the Chicago Hawks blog on HB...

JJ messaged him and then commented with the following in the hawks thread...

"He emphasizes this is just an offer on the table. Says BOS, MON and PHIL are in it. i had not heard Phi before now. My sources all pointing to Montreal, FWIW"
