GMs don't generally trade the first overall, so chances are his asking price would be stoooopid high.

It has to be high enough that the fan base is really, really happy.

Like Getzlaf for 1st overall happy.

I bet he trades it this year...someone will make an attractive offer with some defense that he wont be able to turn down. Too bad Nail wasnt a centerman, or else Toronto could make a nice offer...

Excellent point about the cap floor. It is what makes soem contracts so attractive to other teams... ESPECIALLY the front loaded lifetime ones. A team will have no problem unloading a 40 year old player because of that beneficial huge cap hit.

Looks like I should have used the sarcasm font.

Nobody wants Komisarek.

There is no such thing as a cap floor trade.

Moving on...

holy bejeezus

pronger, gratton, kariya, r niedermayer, kozlov, arnott, witt, deadmarsh, allison, koivu, and bertuzzi to name a few from that draft who got picked after daigle

Im pretty excited to watch Nail and RNH play together.

RNH being traded with the first overall pick? Why?

there is however, something called a salary dump

package him with a young prospect and the cap floor trade does indeed become a possibility

you've been pining for a trade for so long now i'm surprised your head hasnt exploded

I dont think you realize how long and boring my current days are at work....I could REALLY use something new to talk about

RNH and the 1st overall for gardiner

SOLD

i like gardiner, but not that much lol

There, so, if we use that as a template... NO, he shouldn't do it. LOL!

I don't know how I feel about Yakupov enough to say he'd be worth that type of payment... The thought of him and Gally playing here together, makes it tempting. But not tempting enough...
- PTVinnyMac

I don't follow junior hockey, so all of the draft names being bandied about mean absolutely nothing to me.

I'll just look at what Burke drafts, read the reviews, and then brace myself for the eventual crushing disappointment.

Sigh.

I would sacrifice Franson to dump Komi.

Yeah, I just said that.

Actually, I didn't say it - I typed it.

But you get the idea.

If Burke wants him, he'll get him. Then he'll make the necessary adjustments...

you are not alone on that.. i'd prolly even toss in a middle range prospect as well for kicks.. d'amigo too? SURE.

That's a totally different scenario. Burke just needs to sign Schultz, not move up in the draft or trade to get him...

Lots of GM's need to sign Shultz.
