This is admitedly an ignorant comment since my knowledge of Dustin Brown is limited to whatever highlites come up on SportsCentre....but the qualities that people give to Brown (hitting, 2-way forward, leadership, gritty), sounds a lot like we already have in Colby Armstrong who currently warms the press box for us.

Is Dustin really worth what LA's asking for a guy with 31pts?
- aj_furf

Brown's got five 20+ goal seasons going into this season, I like him a bit more than Armstrong solely on this fact.

Quick will go to NYI in the offseason to play with Matt and John.
- B-Leaf

Nah, no shot of that happening

Selanne and Koivu both have a NTC and I doubt they waive them, even if ANH wanted to move them for picks/prospects.
- aj_furf

Im pretty sure selanne would move is NTC and go to a team that are to make the playoffs if the ducks are not going to make it before he retires any time soon. And koivu would do the same

I would absolutely love it if Calgary got Brown. He would be an amazing addition.
Brown for Sarich and a 1st?

1) LA would be stupid to give up brown, cause come playoffs he will be a big difference and a major contributor.

2) Leafs best interests are to pursue a first line centerman still(stasny) a goalie(bernier or schneider) and then later if not by the deadline if Nash isnt traded then the summer they can look at the bigger fishes like Parise or Nash.

I agree they'd be stupid to give up Brown.

And I agree about your C needs.

The goalie thing I won't get into because I don't watch enough games to really have any merit with my opinion.

But I have a question. I can see why'd you want Bernier.. but what if he doesn't come through for a year or two? Wouldn't he be in the same boat Reimer is in?

I mean it took Quick a couple years to produce the numbers he is this year.

Id take a chance on him or schneider, there arent much goaltenders we can acquire that are ready to take number one goal position. Who we going to acquire 38 year old nabakov? no thanks, we need a longterm goalie.

Yeah and tell me this, what if they dont make the playoffs? WHAT IF selanne decides to retire? Isnt it better to acquire prospects and a 1st rounder for selanne? Isnt visnovsky better off to trade when hes at the age of 34 and acquire another 1st rounder and dump some salary? Where selanne, koivu, jason blake, hagman are all UFAS by the summer? Isnt it in their best interest to reorganize their team and still keep their top big 3? and thus come the summer time have some fun signing some guys for their second line with a good age to their name? iunno the ducks are confusing.

your not going to trade the players who can easily get you to the playoffs. period

I liked the ducks '03 run way better than their Cup winning run actually, Giguere was just amazing those playoffs.

of course because in 07 it was against the sens which wasn`t much competition

Give it a read sometime.

Moen is "unavailable"
Hemsky could be signing a new contract today

Ott and Gaustad are still open though.

Yea.. Sens who beat every other team in the EC were not much competition.

Dallas shouldn't be straight sellers. They have as good of shot as any in making top 8. Out of those 4, detroit would be best served with ott....and at a good asking price. I don't seeDallas selling if they win again

my last one was 3 months
- dmarsden2988

Last time I was banned the guy who banned me thought I was Matt Barry, talking about when are you going to stop making names, etc.

I don't know what's worse... getting called Matt Barry or getting banned.

clearly someone can`t take a joke and to be fair they were beat 4 - 1

- FLflames34

adding another winger doesn't really help unless we trade a winger in the process. Still leaves us weak in the center. And its another shooter

- StayTunedMTC

Oh, it's a legit concern. I'd say a lot Leaf fans have no idea what Bernier could bring to the table...it's just the concept of Bernier that we're getting all excited for because he might be available and most have given up on Reimer and Goose

Dallas shouldn't be straight sellers. They have as good of shot as any in making top 8. Out of those 4, detroit would be best served with ott....and at a good asking price. I don't seeDallas selling if they win again
