If it cost us Komi, Lombardi and a 2nd rounder I'd be on board
- mfreedman

I'd say it would have to be Komi, Lombardi, Connolly, 3rd rounder, Armstrong in order for me to agree to it. But, unfortunately, it would likely take more star power than that which I wouldn't want to give up.

I wouldnt be surprised.... Burke said he will address the goalie issue, but taking the remaining 10 years is what I dont see Burke doing.

I only hope its not for picks or prospects..and we can send some salary back (one of our 4 komi/conol/army/lombo)

I wonder if we could start adding D'amigo into some of these deals? If he ups his value this playoffs, it would be nice to include him rather than the same old, Kadri, Colborne, etc...

I fully believe that even if he sucked ont he LEafs, the order of blame would go like this regardless of who is at fault:

1) Burke
2) Kessel
3) Schenn/Kadri
4) Luongo

So he would have a decent amount of time before he faced all the heat like in Vancouver.

No, it would be:

1) Burke
2) Coach
3) Luongo

I might even sweeten it a little ... say take your pick of komi/lombo/army/conolol
hell take all 4

Either way, he would not be the first one targetted... That said, I still think we are better off trying to develop Reimer or Scrivens rather than taking on a goalie until he is 43

If we can get rid of 2 of those 4 this offseason I will be delighted, even if we dont make any other moves.

Van. does not have much cap space.. so realistically they could only take 1 of them back..unless we took more back... and I dont see anything else they have we would want to take as a dump.

I hope Burke can find a way to move Lombo and army at the very least. I think if we were stuck with anyone, Komi could be of some use...maybe under Carlyle. Connolly could only be a trade deadline deal imo..thats if hes having a bounce back year (doubtful)..but then hes off the books anyways at seasons end

I agree with developing our own goalies for now.

If we could get Kesler coming back the other way along with Luongo I'd offer up:

Grabs
Mac
Kadri
2013 first
2012 2nd

Oh, and a salary dump, one of Komi, Lombo or Connolly
Not to say I think Kesler is on the block or anything, as he was injured n ear the end of the season, but I wonder how long it takes for VAN fans to turn on him

That's a bit too much in my opinion.

For a guy like Kesler? I'd say it's worth it.

I'd go so far as to say whatever deal BB does this off season, Kadri will be involved in it.

I don't mind 2013s first going if the deal is right. As long as we keep that 5th overall. I'm still big on Forsberg but it's unfortunate he won't be available at no 5 unless EDM lets CBJ make the first pick.

I'm not sure if they'll ship out Kadri or not. I hope they don't. It won't surprise me either way though.

As for this years draft, I don't know enough about the players to know who to take.

It's just hard to imagine BB not making a move. Kadri is one of our assets that may be worth more in a trade than giving him another shot to make the roster.

I know we need to be patient with young players, but he won't fiut under the coaching system and he will most likely be demanded by whichever GM we bargain with

That's where I'm curious to see what will happen.

It could be interesting to see him play under Carlyle. Randy is known for not caving to a player. Even a star player gets held accountable. So if that's the case 1 of 2 things needs to happen. 1) Kadri smartens up and plays well 2) can't take the criticism and gets shipped out.

He's had tonnes of opportunities under RW to smarten up. It won't get easier under Carlyle and he's probably not going to benefit from a whole lot more time in the AHL after these playoffs. His development from here on in is NHL or bust

I'm sooooo proud i got my first ban on Hockeybuzz.

I don't know if he respected Ron Wilson to be honest with you. Maybe he will have some more respect for Carlyle? I don't know. It's just speculation. We'll have to see. These playoffs will be a big thing for him. I agree that the AHL won't do much for him. I didn't think him going to the AHL this season AT ALL was a good idea. I wanted him on our 3rd line all season to learn some NHL defensive responsibilities because his tricks still work at the AHL level so he still does them. He needs to learn the hard way that they won't work in the NHL

everything's good. Been busy.

I went to the Rogers Video here and apparently ALL Rogers video's in canada are no longer going to be selling games and movies so they had a big liquidation. I got Batman: Arkham City & Dead Island for the Xbox 360 along with The Kings Speech and Captain America both on bluray for $56

I should note they were all pre-viewed/played but still

Yeah I made this name along time ago like right after I joined HB. I got banned because i went into the Rangers Blog and said they should change the name from the NY Rangers to the NY Whiners and use the as the teams logo.
