My concern is that trading CC or Seabs would be like the Sharp deal all over again.

Having to sweeten the deal with a good prospect and getting trash in return at 3m/yr for 2-3 years...

No one who thought we'd resign Saad for a 4m/yr bridge deal should argue otherwise.

Maybe the big prize Johns wasn't so big a prize, at least in Lindy Ruff's eyes this year. The coach not so happy with any of his Dmen this year.

Commish NEEDS to get a major TV deal signed so that the owners still make money even if the arenas aren't filled.

The Oilcans wold be the most interested team in Seabs - right hand shot, leader, they need somebody to QB their PP. Great fit. I just don't know who the Oil have that would be of great interest to the Hawks.

D. Nurse plus....?

About $3M/year... not bad for a mid six guy. 50%+ on faceoffs, big body, having an ok year.

Anyway... there goes that

Zack Smith has 30 pounds on Kruger.....and he's a 30 point a year guy. Has Kruger ever had 30 points in a year?

I haven't heard a single guy in a rumor that I could figure out why they'd want.

I hoping Stan if he is working on one, is much better than rumors.

I had my fill of bad trades last year MTL, and the year before PHL. Enough with bringing in garbage Vets for youngsters.

- vabeachbear


Agree 100 percent. Have a good thing going with these youngsters, even if they're bottom 6. Don't get greedy on an old rental.

Does Smith have his name on two cups? I'm not challenging you. Just saying in the playoffs, I'm taking Marcus Kruger.

I don't think Kruger won those cups single handed. I agree, Kruger brings playoff experience....but in this salary cap world, he's getting harder to keep, at his salary.

Obviously it was a team effort and he was an integral part... I think we can all agree on that. Otherwise, I have no disagreement on his salary tompo. We will see what happens next month and in the offseason.

I wouldn't trade Forsling. That would be a mistake. Especially after Bowman stole him from Vancouver for Clendening straight up.

Loose the teams that are bleeding, increase the skill level of the game, and you will have a better product. A better product is easier to sell. You don't need a degree to know that.

He can bring it from the point. He hurt a few guys trying to block his shot.

How has his defensive zone coverage been? Have you had a chance to see him Eli?
