Whenever my brain starts thinking up scenarios like that I take a step back and think to myself... "If i was a fan of that team, would i want this?" The answer here is a hell to the no

How does that entertain me while I'm at the office killing time?

They were 23rd overall in GF/gp

They allowed 3.1 goals per game. If they had a better goaltender I bet they could have matched the Devils or Columbus' 2.8 and 2.9.

Back to back in the playoffs almost never happen.

Think the one time we played our game 7 then had to start the new series the next day. Or it was a game 7 then 1 day rest followed by a back to back. Can't remember which

I bet Carolina would move the 2nd overall for Lundquist. Too bad he doesn't want to go anywhere right now.

Yeah we definitely want to trade a potential superstar forward for a 36 year old, $10 million goaltender.

So would you rather squeak into the playoffs and get your teeth kicked in by the #1 seed or would you rather try to find a goaltender that isn't starting to grow mold and draft a young, cost-controlled, likely-star and have him be a part of your team for a decade, at minimum?

Capfriendly easily the best one around now.

To answer Jans original blog question: I don't think we should move up into the top three.
I think the overpayment to Carolina to get to #2 will be too costly and

I can't honestly see Montreal trading with us from a P.R. standpoint. After stealing MacDonagh from them in our last trade between the two teams, do you really think they would deal us a possible future star player at #3 ?

I do think a deal would make sense with Arizona or even Chicago so we could get Wahlstrom. Both deals would be a bit cheaper to complete.


Tavares or bust, in Gorton we trust...

JR has some salient points about owners being poopheads.
And MDW wanting to some weird German training with his dog.
