No.

He is a loser.
- mrpaulish

Agree to disagree.

But should you see him hoisting the cup in an Indian sweater in the middle of June this year, I want you to take it back.

Huh. Just found out Jamie Benn was a 5th rounder.

Ott for a 5th
- Feds91Stammer

No thanks

Yes Ott wins face-offs and is an agitator but his play fell off a cliff since leaving Buffalo.
- TommyHawk

LOL yeah other than FOs he is useless so imo because I don't put much weight in FOs he is completely useless.

No thanks

- Hawkster

How about "future considerations"

I still want a 3C that can win face offs. Not sure who, or how....but I'd love to see a lineup like this:

STP
PAK
Hartman-3C-Hossa
Kruger-Kero-Hinostroza/Jurco
Desjardins

Keith-Seabs
Oduya-Hammer
Kempny/TVR-Campbell
Rozsival

Crawford/Darling


Now THAT is definitely Cup worthy.

Like him or not that loser has heart....I say yes he would help.

Fair. I (and I'm sure many others) feel the same about Back-ass.
- TommyHawk

That Jackass had his chance couple of years ago to come here. He chose to be a loser on a sinking ship. SAY NO TO DOAN

What about putting a claim for Eric Fehr?
- Tatoo

Expensive cap hit and has another year left on his deal.

So assuming Desi goes on waivers and we could sign a player up to 2 mil AAV? so with retention that could be up to 4 mil. What 3/4 line centers that are left out there?
We could also send down Kero I think and add a little more.

Late to the party but nice deal by Bowman....Especially if Oduya can still kill penalties.
Hawks didn't give much up as well.

Boyle would have been that guy. Don't think anyone else worthwhile is available.

Ott isn't playing tonight so may be on the move. Weekend on NHL Network saying MTL is going after Ott.

Team-first guy.

Love to have him on your side; hate to play against him. He's a guy that would be incredibly motivated in May. This is his last ride.
- TommyHawk

Doan is a cheap-shotting, born loser. Those are the only 2 constants in his career, cheap shots and losing. Would be a subtraction by addition for any team that trades for him at this point.

(frank) Doan. Probably the last guy in the league I want to see win a cup.
- Feds91Stammer

He has had his chance to get moved to a contender , if we going to add someone so they have a chance to win a cup I would take Ignila. ....or Mcdavid

Aott isn't playing tonight so may be on the move. Weekend on NHL Network saying MTL is going after Ott.
- Marlowe

Just what Mtl needs, another rock head.

@ChrisHine
Looking at the roster math ... someone's gotta go when Hjalmarsson is ready to return. Tootoo or Desjardins to waivers possibly?

BUT -- @BrianHedger
@ChristopherHine Thought the 23-man roster went away after the deadline ... as long as you stay under the cap?
- Marlowe

Maybe Desjardins with Pokka for a bottom 6 physical winger, picks or mid range prospect. Sounds like Pokka has some value but is buried and needs a fresh start while Desi is the odd man out. Can't see either player back next year.

Those are the only 2 constants in his career, cheap shots and losing.
- Quicky72

Ouch.

Boyle would have been that guy. Don't think anyone else worthwhile is available.
- Feds91Stammer

Kero has really improved lately at the dot and looks like he might be that guy, but I'm not sure it will last through the playoffs...

Might have to take our chances with a bottom 6 that looks like this:

Hartman-Kero-Hossa
Desjardins/Jurco-Kruger-Jurco/Hinostroza

Still not bad. But I REALLY want one more piece.

Fortin had a hat trick tonight.
- EbonyRaptor

Too many injuries for Green over the course of his career but you're right Shattenkirk is a good compare. In fact, I think Green would prove to be the better player if he was playing with a team like Edmonton.

Great call JJ on the Odyua trade in the past couple days and this AM. Also great call on the Hawk PR machine on not doing anything and making sure they don't overpay for rentals.

- SimpleJack

I actually think we need a winger more than a center. Kero is looking better and better every game. He's already taking on important PK responsibilities and he's on the ice at the end of the game when the opposing team pulls their goalie. Q clearly trusts him, and he's got a much better offensive game than Kruger does (though that's not saying much).

STP
PAK
Jurco - Kero - Demi-God
_____ - Kruger - Hartman


Keith - Seabs
Hammer - Oduya
Campbell - Kempny/TvR
Rozy

Crow
Scotty

And this team is ready for war.

Preds are playing well - down 4-2 in the 3rd and come back to win it 5-4 in OT.

Just what Mtl needs, another rock head.
- Quicky72

Can you imagine going against Shaw and Ott on one line though

Ouch.
