It was Watters, he always breaks things first.
- AdamFrench

From what I heard on the radio I thought TO had to throw in a first as well.
- whipper334

They can keep on dreaming about it. I wouldn't do that deal. Nash is good but not that good to throw away all those players and a pick. No franking way!

why can't we win a cup with Garbo as a C2? Name five C2s that are better than him.

1. Malkin
2. Kessler
3. Coutoure?
4.
5.

Malkin is a first line center and i agree grabo is very underated in my opinion the harder he gets played the better he plays.

So if the trade went down, here is our line-up:

Lupul-Bozak-Kessel
Nash-Connolly-Kulemin
Mac-Lombardi-Huselius/Armstrong
Brown-Steckel/Armstrong/Crabb


Gunnar Phaneuf
Liles Franson
Gardiner Aulie


Are we better off?
- mfreedman

For sure! We'd be getting Rick Nash. He'd be on our 2nd line! with a power forward and a playmaking centre. You have to give to get but it make our top 6 scary

Were still a little weak up the middle but it wouldn't matter. Bozak and Connolly can still get the job done

Problem with Garbo is you can never find him...

Pavelski, Zetterberg, Briere, Richards, lecavalgay, Bergeron, Skinner, Stastny
- AdamFrench

right now he is on pace with Pavelski, Zetterberg, Briere, Stastny and outperforming Richards

Bergeron and Lecavalier are the only ones there that are outperforming him. Also Skinner plays first line wing a lot.

We could get more for a packade of Schenn + Kadri + Grabovski IMO

Don't forget Gomez!

when the game is on the line, that is when he is most noticeable to me.

This what makes the trade realistic... some ppl like it some hate it..

- mfreedman

Could we though? A perennial superstar who's numbers are down because he happens to be stuck on one of the worst franchises in the league. He's on contract for years to come and is a hometown guy. I'd be happy.

Well, considering this rumour has no basis whatsoever in reality, I heard the Columbus has to throw in a unicorn.
- Atomic Wedgie

they are throwing in a cockatrice... hopefully not into a hallway

What if we traded Komi + Lombo + Army + 2nd to the NYI for Rolston??
- mfreedman

the sticking point on lombo would be the fact that he's uninsurable.. so any team that ices him would have to assume the risk

I think we have a generational disconnect here...

Don't forget Gomez!

This is Mindy...I believe she has a degree in engineering, or something.

Dreger already confirmed that Brian Burke has NEVER spoken to Columbus about trading for Rick Nash...EVER...not even once...aint gonna happen

I'd prefer Getzlaf over Nash anyday of the week

Don't forget Gomez!

I honestly hope that poor bastard scores before the one year anniversary.

Otherwise, it's not going to be a pretty scene at the Bell Centre. Party hats, cakes with candles, streamers and noisemakers...

in the playoffs
bergeron
Briere
Pavelski
Zetterberg

no particular order

Pavelski, Zetterberg, Briere, Richards, lecavalgay, Bergeron, Skinner, Stastny

Bozak.

- steve362

which is very odd. I am not privy to their conversations but I would bet my non-existent house that they have spoken. How serious the conversations were I have no idea. But to say that one of the most active GMs in the league who is constantly looking to add star power to his lineup has never spoken to a GM of a team with two superstars who are known to be available is absurd.

perhaps. because i am totally lost right now

Grabbo = Grabovski (or the marionette from the Simpsons)

Garbo = Greta Garbo - actress whose reclusive ways in retirement became legend.
