Not the greatest trade for Toronto unless Parise can play center.
- Holy_GM

He can play center. But he plays better at wing.

16-9-3.
GAA and save % may be poopty, but hey, hes gettin er done most of the time. And its 1/2 a year so far. Call me back in a year and then i'll tell ya my status on the contract.
- FLYERSROCK!

he wont be their that long, homer will trade him to the oilers for a 1st round pick and klefbom..........

Ek, is EVERY pickup a GREAT move? ANd Brule must be a super ncie guy as well.
- FLYERSROCK!

Bono said he is, wait is Ecklund Bono?

Apparently you didn't read what I said.

When you're trading for a UFA like Parise, a smart GM has the Devils negotiate an extension prior to the trade.

Pretty standard.

And yes, an Parise with a contract extension is ABSOLUTELY worth Schenn and Kadri....overrating your players a bit perhaps?
- Juice

What the (frank) are you talking about? I never said he wouldn't be worth it (if he had an extension) but he wouldn't be coming here with an extension you moron. Learn to read. Give me some examples of rental players who's GM renegotiated a deal while he was being traded.

Yeah, but according to this article, he wants to play for a cup contender, and TOR doesn't qualify at this time.
- WayneZ

If Toronto only has to give up Schenn and Kadri for Parise (which for the record I do not think for a second would happen) and you swapped Wilson for an actual good coach...then I'm ok with saying that the Leafs would be at the entry stage of contention. Not a Boston or Vancouver...but a SJ equivalent.

You all used google. Nice try.

look at the page bfore.. this has already been discussed.

I think ZP is a little young to start chasing the cup.
Detroit would be scary if they managed to make this deal.
I'd prefer ZP to stay in the east

He hasn't played center for us yet, but who knows. I'm ok with him leaving. I just want a boat load of players coming back the other end. Hell i would take a bonafide #1 defender to skate alongside Larsson.

How does Crabb (American, hard hitting, never gives up), Scrivens (takes over for Marty, same calibre of player, just not getting his shot yet), Komisarek (the American Scott Stevens) and a 2nd rounder?

I wish.
Id take that deal in a heartbeat. We need d prsopects so bad.

He can play center. But he plays better at wing.
- FLYERSROCK!

the tried him a center last year and it was kinda meh, his game is much better suited for the wing.

tbh with how poopty Kulemin has been this year I'd rather have a scoring winger than a centre. Kulemin is sucking the life out of any line he plays on. Havnt seen someone miss so many open nets since Jonas Hoglund.

You all used google. Nice try.
- WayneZ

Not at all.

You all used google. Nice try.

Turris just happened.

I try.

It's a no brainier as far as I'm concerned...if Lou offered that Burke would accept it immediately.
- Juice

Burke would laugh in his face unless he saw an extension.

Burke still needs a centre more than a winger, but you can't pass up a generational game changing force like this. Just like Kessel, I think an overpayment is due, but...a 1st, Kadri, Colborne, Gardiner (pick 2 of 3) and schenn or kulemin I'd probably still do in a heartbeat.

All based if extension is complete too. For a rental, he gets 1 prospect and a 3rd.

Yeah but not a slam dunk. If he wants a team that is a cup contender pending a move or two, he could just stay in NJ.

Played Center before he went pro, and has been a winger since he came in. Like you and I siad, he can play center, but he plays better on the wing.

Are you nuts? Were not cup contenders, even with Parise and there's zero guarantee he would sign with us. It would be a terrible trade
- SameOld

that trade would be toronto robbing the devils.

Dude you need to relax. Have you taken your meds today?

All I said was when you trade for a UFA, if you're a smart GM then you negotiate the extension before signing.

Are you ok? Do you want to chat about your issues over a nice cup of coffee?

Seriously, re-franking-lax.

Sign and trades are very rare. Off the top of your head, name the last.
- WayneZ

Chris bosh?

Some? They were saying he should be a Vezina candidate and Calder candidate! And taht hed lead them to the playoffs!

And his cap hit is actually 5.66, and look at the standings, that'll show ya everything. Winning is the only thing that matters.
- FLYERSROCK!

Reimer? I would bet you can't find one person that said he should be a Vezina candidate.

How does Crabb (American, hard hitting, never gives up), Scrivens (takes over for Marty, same calibre of player, just not getting his shot yet), Komisarek (the American Scott Stevens) and a 2nd rounder?
- weirdoh

Does that come with any sort of a money back guarantee? I seem to remember Stevens actually playing games. Komi, not so much.

You're an idiot. Name me all these smart GM's who do sign and trades during the year? It doesn't happen.

- jerseyleaf

You would trade a 1st (top 20), Kadri (#7), Colbourne (1st) and Schenn (#5) for a UFA to be in Parise?

Thank God Burke is our GM.
