The Flyers should just trade for Gomez. He'd improve the team bonding.

Private reasons. I could tell you but I'd have to shoot you after.

The Kings, Leafs, Habs, Flames, and Sabres are all potential destinations for Jeff Carter. I expect Carter to be moved before the deadline.

Yes, but he won't value him as much because of the term. RT @realjohnf: @HockeyBreak Do you think Burke would touch his length of contract?

If I'm Columbus and I'm looking at those teams, I aim for Montreal or Buffalo. Why? Realistically, neither is making the playoffs and could just as easily deal for Carter in the summer. The only way they would deal for him prior to the deadline is if they know for sure that he's going to be dealt elsewhere. If either the Sabres or Habs really wanted him, Howson should try to leverage that into a better return.

How about this for a trade between Columbus and Toronto;

To Toronto:
Jeff Carter
1st round pick this year

To Columbus:
Tyler Bozak
Carl Gunnarsson
Nik Kulemin
1st round pick this year
2nd round pick this year

Here is why this could be possible:

For Toronto - Bozak would be expendible with Carter coming in. Gunnarsson is a good, solid D but we have too many and someone has to go (no one is going to take Komisarek plus his cap hit is too high / Franson's salary is too low since both teams are close to the cap). Kulemin is a good strong forward who is having a bad year but again would be expendible. More importantly, these players make the total salaries going either way almost even (about 200k more going to Toronto).

As for Columbus - Carter is easy to explain. But why the 1st pick (1st overall as well)? The top two players in this year's draft are Russians - small market teams don't do well with Russian players (see Radulov & Filatov). So to help Columbus "save face" Toronto would take the 1st overall and draft Yakupov (who would then take Kulemin's spot next season). Columbus gets a decent centre, a top 6 forward and a top 3 D, plus a 1st this year and a 2nd to offset everything. Also, Toronto is taking the massive long contract off Columbus' hands, so they have to give them something decent.

Works for everyone right?

You've never met anyone that takes it like Carter...Just ask Richards...

He got the Cammy to Calgary. He updated the site before twitter so it made him look late to the party. I like that he does the site first before twitter. It's not about a race anyways, I'd rather confirmed news that mistakes.
