I think we should keep Green for the rest of the season; if we turn it around and he plays well, keep him. If we continue to free-fall (even though we haven't actually moved anywhere in the standings bizarrely) he gets the boot and we should receive a solid return.

Semin can go right now - 8 points in last 14 - teams in need of production (ie: LA) should be interested.

I think Knuble should also be shown the door; I love the guy, but I feel he's just too disgusted and angry at this point and does not want to play with this team any longer. I bet there is a solid list of interested teams (Boston or Calgary?)

I hope Hamrlik gets traded; if to the Jets so be it.

I think the 'untouchables' at this point are really only:

Backstrom
OV
Chimera
Carlson
Alzner
Laich (gets a another year or two to prove himself - he's having a terrible season as well)
MJ90
Holtby

Keep Halpern for vet presence and 4th line anchor. Hendricks as our 'tough guy' who can actually chip in with a few points, and dangle the rest to see what offers they get.

To Toronto: Carter *** and one note to take in consideration, all the talk of including huselius?? IS THAT REALLY NECESSARY? the team is done for the season, they are not making the playoffs and huselius is done for the season. Does it make sense to trade him since his contract expires this season? No. Thankyou

To Columbus: 1st Rounder, 3rd Rounder, Scrivens, and a prospect/roster player(Aulie,Franson,Gunner,Kulemin)

Very good point amazing how many people try to rip on EK if you do not like/believe anything you read on this site then you really got to stop wasting your time and get a hobby
- emac51

Exactly!

I was listening to Ek last night during the Av's / Kings match up and the man is very knowledgable of the game.

People that come here to rip on him need to get a life seriously!

I think your franchise is going under.... no more hockey in columbus? Quebec Nordiques ??

Love for the Nordique to make a hockey comeback!

Hockey in Columbus has been a failure.

nothing like losing a player on waivers, only to use a first round pick to get him a couple years later.

worst move detroit has done in years.

I could definitely see Darcy trading for Mr. Pancake, another lackadaisical winger is just what this team needs. Boston is tomorrow, not tonight.
