Major shake-up for both teams.

I dont think the Jets are parting with 3/6 current D and replacing them with Luke Schenn. Dont you think Buff and Ladd would bring a ton more in seperate deadline deals? Like each possibly bringing a first round pick plus a decent prosepect. I have no problem with a Giroux deal but think it would look more like Sheif/Kyle Conner/first rounder for Giroux

Might as well just swap team jerseys. Too many players involved.

Marleau would be a good fit for the Islanders.... they need a consistent LW to play with Tavares instead of the constant rotation they tinker with. Plus, they have a lot of depth they can give in return.

Depth is about all I'd pay, off of the roster.

I'm not trading one of the good young guys for a 36 year old player making $6.66M this year and next.

They can have pending-UFA Kyle Okposo and a B-level prospect if they want to get Marleau's money off the books and free up some cap space. I'm even hesitant to do that, the way Okposo has been playing the last few games.

What's the likelihood of Jarome Iginla being traded?

Ek is so Buffhurt.

Bruins and Canes talking?

This I am told is very preliminary and involves a young D-man the Bruins are interested in....not named Hanifin of course...

if the guys name isn't Faulk then there's no real conversation happening.... everyone else is 30+ years old, hanifin is hanifin of course so that really only leaves faulk. we don't need Pesce as we have some younger not yet established players..... move on Ek

You would be insane to give up KO for 36 year old Marleau and his 6.7 cap hit for the next 3 years. Bailey, Ho-Sang, and a 2nd for Marleau and 2M coming back from SJ.

jerome iginla for petrick merleau

odds are ektremely high

......Enstrom and Byfuglien is overkill for Giroux
- Alexzanki

Overkill? A more accurate statement would be that isn't enough compensation for Giroux. Name one player with more points since 2010-11? You can't because no one does. Nice try though

He can take that to the bank with his Conn Smythe trophy and Stanley Cup rings. Oh wait...

Okposo is walking at the end of the year, I hope you realize that. He isn't an Islander come July 1st, you can bank on that.

Am I dying to move him? No. But he isn't super valuable. He can't perform without Tavares as his center and even then he is still a very streaky player. He's playing great now but in a few weeks I'm sure he'll go right back to a nice invisible stretch.

Have no issues with Iggy squashing the rumours early, especially since they were started by that hack Dater.

He doesnt want to uproot his family, if he wants a trade in the offseason to play out the final year of his contract, thats different since its a full year plan.

As rumoured, He picked the Avs over Lightning and Islanders at UFA since he wanted a place for his kids to play good minor hockey and a place he could potentially settle down in after he retires. I assume those will still be major factors in any trade, if he decides he wants one this offseason.

Hope Iggy stays in Colorado, hes one of the good ones
- DDM-Coga

Absolutely!!!!but it would be nice to see him hoist hockey's holy grail...

Have serious doubts Marleau agrees to go to the Islanders and how in Gods name can Tampa take him on they are already over 2M in cap space and in the red? The only way I see the Rangers getting him if they give up Kevin Klein and sharks pay half his salary!

So.....your expecting a defenceman to be bobby orr caliber in order to get giroux .....apples and oranges there buddy.

But Brooklyn is such a wonderful area!!

not even god himself can help this team. We have pieces that apparently coaching and managment cant put them in the right spots and got contracts that are just,well, horrible. two years till we are any good.

What the hell does that have to do with anything? Last time I checked winning the Stanley Cup is a team accomplishment...

Learn the difference between your and you're and then maybe I'll lend some credence to YOUR opinion...

Not gonna happen. Let's ignore the fact no team is brave enough to make such a major shake up, Winnipeg is decimating their defense and replacing him with Luke Schenn. It is way too much.

Then looking value wise I think it will be too much too. I think Winnipeg will value Scheifle over B.Schenn (even if they don't I wouldn't consider the difference in value to be high pick or top roster player) so that should make Scheifle, Stuart, 2nd give or take even to both Schenns.

Meaning we are looking at Byfuglien, Ladd, Enstrom, 1st for Giroux and a 2nd.

I can see this more likely to get done if you exclude Enstrom from the deal, but even then it goes to my original point. Way too many high end players switching teams for either GM to bet their job that it is the right decision IMO.

Cool thought though.

"The fact is Marleau has spent years without ANY desire to leave town, and once a player opens himself a little to the possibility the options often widen."

You needed a source to tell you that ?

I see what you did they're

If anything goes, it would be Vinny for Marleau. Both are old, on high salaries, and are obviously declining. Marleau probably will have a hard time with getting the trade he wants because of his high salary, however, if he is traded, Marleau playing with Giroux and Voracek might light something up, but, doesn't Marleau want to be traded to a contender?

Now, Byfuglien would be a great add for the Flyers, however, I am certain that Vinny would have to be on the trading block for that deal to work out (High salary, can provide some offense, which the Jets need), but they will still need to put in a big piece or two to make this work.

However, the trouble with that is trying to resign Byfuglien. Multiple teams (Oilers better be one) are interested in that guy, which they should be, a right shot, defensive hybrid who can play defense and forward (The righty version of Brent Burns to me), therefore Byfuglien should realize that if he goes into FA, there are teams out there that might pay up to 2x what the flyers pay since the flyers have barely any cap space to negotiate.
