It is incredibly lame that the video doesn't work. I tried to get the tradecentre app for my iPad but no dice.

If you have access to NHLN, they're streaming TSN Trade Centre

EDIT: simulcasting is the actual word, not streaming

I do have NHLN, but I am at work. Nice thing is that I have access to twitter, so it shouldn't be too bad today.

Well if the trade deadline is a bust there is always the Daytona 500 (I'm not much for racing myself).

So weaken the defense, and trade a forward with a higher ceiling and a goalie with a lesser ceiling for a solid physical forward and a goalie with a pedigree who is still stuck behind Bryzgalov for 8 more years.

fantasy scenario...

carle is moved to a team like CHI for a #1 pick and a prospect(s), then those assets are used to defray the cost of acquiring a young dman. JVR would have to be part of the deal.

the only reason to do it today would be to take advantage of carle's value, because it will never be higher. the young dman acquired, a subban-type, would be ready to play now and the flyers would be able to avoid the over-pmt circus of July 1.

not a likely scenario, but at least a logical thought process, imo.

Thats fine in theory but until it is ratified it would be extremely foolish to operate under the assumption that will be an option.

You do realize that the amnesty doesn't actually exist right now, right? That it's just an idea on the table?

And you still weaken the defense by trading Carle. Which should be a HUGE concern.

That's why they play the games. You never know what's gonna happen in the playoffs. As long as you're in a playoff race you shouldn't be selling, period.

yeah, i think listening on offers for carle is worthwhile for homer if he can turn carle into a younger asset(s) that can contribute here for at least a few years.
