I'm not really sure if I should root for the Isles tonight, or if I want to see them get lit up by the flyers to put another nail in the coffin of jack capuano. even when the isles win this year it's not a 60 minute effort and they're sloppy as hell. No urgency, no accountability. I'd rather miss the playoffs and have the whole staff cleaned out than get bumped in the 1st round again watching the team underachieve all year with fred flintstone behind the bench.

Didn't know it was that bad up there. I am surprised by the isles record. Campus no playing favorites up there? Who are the whipping boys?

this is where I think you can utilize Gus's rights.

huh?

look what joe thornton was traded for
it all depends on the player's situation with the team
- 2Real

Look what Seguin brought back to boston.

All depends.

I think Schenn and Simmonds would be good starters. I'd even be ok putting hagg in there tow avoid throwing a pick in there.

TSN Hockey Insider, Darren Dreger, said Schenn is being shopped and teams are interested.

Now I can confirm per very trusted sources the St. Louis Blues, Ottawa Senators, Winnipeg Jets, Calgary Flames have all expressed serious interest in Brayden Schenn and would be looking to acquire him in the near future. The asking price for Brayden Schenn is around a top 9 forward, a prospect, and a draft pick.

Depending on the quality of the prospect and how high a pick, it sounds like a reasonable deal.

I think they're good starters for sure. But I think they'd want one of the big 4 D prospects (Hagg would be 5) and at least a 2nd.

I think they can do better than those 2 for starters form another team

Fully admit I find that requested return surprising, but I'd be happy to get it.

As do I. Also, Columbus likely would like to trade him out of the division/conference. Still, the Flyers could make up for it with Ghost/Morin/Sahneim/Provorov...not that I think they should, just that they COULD.

Johansen for Jones would help both teams. Nashville's scoreless streak is getting absurd.

he is a guy you can clearly build around...isn't col weak in prospects/players on the back end?

I would. I would spin it like it's never been spun before.

What if the return was:

Drew Stafford
De Leo/Jostalek
2016 2nd

They're thin like the Flyers, but have 2 players who would be our #1 right now (Murray, Johnson). They have Heatherington but he's their only D prospect.

If they're getting three assets for Schenn none are likely be be high-end. Personally if they don't get at least one Top 6 forward out of the trade I'd say it would be a mistake. Risk is ok, meaning taking a prospect for a proven forward like Schenn. But they need high upside. This team already has plenty of prospects that top out as 3rd/4th liners.

I would demand a prospect like Connor if it was the Jets. If they said no, I'd keep Schenn and play him as a first or second line RW for the rest of the season.

Werenski

Top 9 forward, prospect and pick for BSchenn?

Uh, isnt the point to get us away from mediocrity, not bury ourselves further in it?

I'd rather trade BSchenn and a pick for one reliable young player.

What if the return was:

Drew Stafford
De Leo/Jostalek

- jmatchett383

Stafford gets hurt alot, no? When he's actually playing, he's a good player to have around. And yeah, guess where he went to college?

I don't know enough about DeLeo/Jostalek, to be honest.

I can almost hear Pee-air now.....

"AND NOW THE PHILADELPHIA FLYERS HAVE ACQUIRED A VERY TALENTED FORWARD IN ANDREW STAFFORD OUT OF THE UNIVERSITY OF NORTH DAKOTA WHERE HE PLAYED FOR FLYERS COOCH DAVE HAKSTOL. DREWS DAD GORD WAS A SHIFTY PLAYER FOR MILWAUKEE IN THE OLD IHL AND WENT TO SHATTUCK-SAINT MARYS AND PLAYED WITH ZACHARY PARISE AND SIDNEY CROSBY."

JJ sucks as a top pairing dman. I'd rather have MDZ.
