Blue Jackets currently about $14 million above cap floor.

So probably not a motivating factor for taking the Komodo Dragon.

You forgot Huselius.

Every Columbus Dman is a minus this year, even their "good ones."

Komi has 4 pts and he's Even. Guy's a (frank)ing wall

Do you think Stastny is on the market?

no way the AVS trade Peter, Marian, or Anton let alone Paul Stastny for a pending UFA and a over paid defensive liability.
I have no issues with the AVS trading Stastny, but that would be a steal for Burke
- 10baci

all burke knows to do is steallllll from other teams...so this trade makes perfect sense

Gleason Signs A Four Year Extension in Carolina. Big D-Man off Market?


Why the (frank) would he do that....

BB wouldn't leave a gaping hole at center.......he's a fart smeller and wouldn't make us weaker down the middle. He knows what we need.....and that aint it

Didn't Burke say he was going to talk to Luke Schenn and address the trade rumors with him a week or two ago??
I know it was a private conversation, but I wonder what ever came of that??
- Cimo

Burke told him he wasn't being traded, unless he gets absolutley blown away with an offer he can't refuse. (it was discussed during one of the broadcasts I believe)

He's a scratch golfer. You ever been to Murtle Beach?

4 million a year. No other team would ever give him that...

Do you think Stastny is on the market?
- triggermartin

yes - he's the AVS highest paid player and the owner is a cheap Ba@#$#$.

they gave up a 1st and 2nd round pick this summer for Varlamov - i think they are trying to back pedal and somehow regain a 1st rounder back IMHO

Good point....

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

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

Phaneuf/Gunnar
Liles-Gardiner
Franson-Aulie

Are we better off?
- mfreedman

Absolutely not.

Watters stealing incarceratedbob's information and posting it a week later... priceless.

Incarceratedbob had on the 24th or 25th that the leafs have a deal in works for Nash + top 9 frwd, for Schenn,Grabo,Kadri,Komi (Komi has already agreed to waive)

It's nice to see the same names mentioned really means this rumor has some legs behind it... the fact bob knew there was a top 9 forward and Huselius is supposed to be included leads me to believe its in CBJ's hands.

They probably aren't sure they want to take on KOMI/his salary but thats a price when we take a bad contract too.

The bolded point doesn't really say too much. You have a proven commodity vs 2 unproven commodities.

Likewise, if you were detroit and I offer Daigle (1st overall) for Datsyuk (7th rounder), would that really be fair?
- mfreedman

I read his post and thought the EXACT same thing with the EXACT same example.

Get out if my head!!!!

You forgot Huselius.

You want an IR section added?

Leafs trade them like they candy.... ...

well once we have Nash we can trade Kessel for a center

okay Komodo and a 1st.

It's alot to give up, however getting a big skilled power forward like Nash is like two Grabovski's, and three Kadri's. Dealing the two Defencemen kinda makes you scratch your head though... Thats alot of depth......I don't think this has any traction, but who knows?

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

ROFLMFAO

Because that bob fellow is legit right?

The guy is worse than ek
