Wouldn't give up the 2nd for Ott...

U wont be getting Ott....

Never get excited when a player shows up and starts playing well....or has a career year for that matter.

Asp never lets the positive cloud his perceptions

Ek will update the site shortly with 'Downie only a start, more deals to come' 'my source tells me Colorado has a much bigger deal that could go down based on another deal in the East' ......

You don't join the star... unless you are killed by someone holding the star, and if it is the Azure star, I couldn't join it anyway.

You picked that Azura because you were getting your ass handed to you when you did the quest inside of it didn't you? It was a tough quest if not properly prepared.

YES!!! NIIIIICE!

TRADEZ!~

Kinda surprised with the turtle derby that is the Eastern Conference that Yzerman has started the sell off......... they're no that far off

I (frank)ing love the people on twitter who are reporting this trade. Word for word from Bobby Mac. Then they add the part about them working on the details to come.

So they Ott to be putting that rumor to rest?

I don’t understand how Howson is expecting to get the world for Rick Nash. He’s got a 7.8 million dollar cap hit, a NMC, and is a 60ish pt player. With the inability to drive up a bidding war, and production that is no where near worth the cap hit, where’s the value for any other GM (lucky enough to be selected by Nash as a potential trading partner) to sell the farm for him, I just don’t get it.

Joe Thornton was traded for Marco Sturm, Wayne Primeau, and Brad Stuart

Mike Richards was traded for Brayden Schenn, Wayne Simmonds, and a 1st

Brad Richards was traded for Mike Smith, Jeff Halpern, Jussi Jokinen and a 4th

Ilya Kovalchuk was traded for Niclas Bergfors, Johnny Oduya, Patrice Cormier and a 1st

And they’re suggesting Kadri, Gardiner/Schenn, Colbourne, and a 1st rounder? (otherwords, basically all of our high end assets)

Looking at what the players above brought back to their respective clubs, does anyone honestly think Rick Nash is worth more than the above mentioned??

I understand Nash has attributes that go beyond his point production, but to me this rumoured asking price is beyond absurd…for any team to pay

Ek will update the site shortly with 'Downie only a start, more deals to come' 'my source tells me Colorado has a much bigger deal that could go down based on another deal in the East' ......

Now that Ek is allowed to talk about it. He will post about all the madcap hijinx that happened while this deal was being made... and how fascinating it was for him to be right there when it all happened.

You guys hear? Downie traded to the Avs!

I guess Stevie feels with LeCavallier's injury that the probability is very low now

You guys hear? Downie traded to the Avs!
