Lehtonen's 1 year remaining on his contract at $5.9M is even worse than Niemi's $4.5M.
- RangerSaver

There is no combination of pieces that is going to have Gorton make a move that ends up with a back up goalie making $4.5M. That's ludicrous, even for one year.

Dallas retaining some salary might help the cause but I don't think any of this will happen.

Toews as a healthy scratch would be nice insurance.
- JRR1285

Toews or Backstrom would be my 5th center, probably spend most of the year with the Pack though.

I'm hoping for a McDavid, Crosby, Tavares, Stamkos down the middle myself

Always knew your love for Haze was fake...

Next person who trades Hayes is getting (frank)ing shanked.

Only goes so far. I would trade my family for McDavid

Nice

How about defense?

Hedman - Karlsson
McDonagh - Burns
Suter - Subban

We all know AV needs that lefty/righty balance.

F1 isn't as spectacular as it was maybe, but still a great 'happening'.

Punch a few Habs fans for me please
Have a great time man!!!

i have a couple NYR shirts packed

Your family has good trade value.

If we are being honest though Pete, I would settle for a happy meal in that trade

I think the bigger question is, what would the Edmonton Oilers do with your family upon acquisition?

Edit: I can see the negotiations now.

Matt: I'll give you my family for McDavid.

Oilers: How about we give you one of those McDonald's Monopoly game pieces that entitles you to a free apple pie?

Matt: Done

They are good.

... well ... there may be one dumber conversation (or intimidation) that went on for this past entire season on this site, and still at times now!
No words posted appear to be enough in this case regarding Dallas.
- RangerSaver

Ok, PM me, because now I am really lost

They can keep half, which means you are paying a backup either $2.25 or $2.95 million.

They can keep hold, which means you are paying a backup either $2.25 or $2.95 million.

Yeah, no thanks.

Only person I want from Dallas is currently playing in the KHL.

I'd rather have Hellberg here than Lehtonen.

And I want Girardi on our blueline until he's ready to be an assistant coach in Hartford!! Just playing fewer minutes.
- Tonybere

Hellberg signed with the KHL...he's a gonner...

I think I know why RD hasn't been around. He got a new black camaro.

Oh yeah. I forgot about that one. Ok then, make it Halverson. Point is, we can't be spending millions on a #2 goalie. Plus, it would seem that I could spend the summer with Beniot Alliare and be a capable back-up.

I just don't see Gorton being this active but
