Can't find last years deadline but in 2010, Andrew Alberts was worth a third rounder. Gill should at least get that. Hell Andy Sutton got a 2nd.

Raffi Torres got a 2nd + prospect. Comparable to Moen, maybe more physical so remove the prospect?

Eric Belanger, Dominic Moore and Matt Cullen each fetched a 2nd. I think I'd place Kostitsyn as a better player than those guys... no?

He'd have done it for just Gill.

He would be 5th in scoring on our team this year, for 1.9 mil.

you know what? Once he figured out he was a 20 goal good 2-way forward he's been pretty effective. I'd take him on the 3rd line any day.

He could have been a much better player than he is today.

Too much boose and party screwed his development.

Not saying he would have scored 40 but he was a 25g/30a kind of guy.... now he's a 20/20.

I would too, he just started to think he was better than he is...

When a GM thinks his team has a shot at the Cup or playoffs, they'll overpay if it means getting what they believe to be the missing link/depth addition. We could get a decent return for some of our players.

I think playing on the 3rd lines of the Panthers and Flames was a real wake up call.

Moen n'est pas à l'entraînement matinal du CH. Votre héros Engqvist est arrivé, lui. Sinon, tous ceux qui sont en santé sont sur la glace.

Well the farm club is kinda depleted. It's him, Palushaj or Leblanc. He's their best player so far...

next year is gonna be quite different...with Gallagher, Bournival, Ellis, Tinordi, Beaulieu (possibly), and Kristo (maybe) making the jump...they will be a lot more interesting to follow...

They have been suffering with all these draft picks thrown away and the fact they pick players going the NCAA route on a regular basis.
