fosco's mention of whitney is a good call

Doan would be the perfect situation

I guess if his stock has dropped. A year ago you guys would laugh at that trade. It wouldn't take long for Hemmer to make fans out of you guys as long as he stayed healthy. If Tambs was offered that deal he would be crazy not to take it.

He's a good puck mover.He is injury prone but if he plays he can make some great passes.Something our second line definitely needs. Lu i,f we can rid of him ,and move forward ,that is the main thing.

Good for both teams then. The Oilers have some players that could take Hemmers spot and get a top 5 goalie. The Nucks get a playmaker, picks and rid themselves of some drama from fans and media. Let's do it. I always thought the media and fans where tough on Luo.

No thanks to Volpatti as our 4th liner. I want a 4th that can actually take a regular shift in the playoffs. Get Lappy 2 new wingers, player that are actually proven bottom 6 players and can play third line minutes as well in case of injuries.

You guys would be good with that? I can't see Van doing that. I would in a heart beat, I am a big Hemsky fan but not enough for Luo IMO.

Hemsky and the Twins in our top 6?!?

And we'll get eaten alive in the playoffs by teams like the Kings with Hemsky joining our tough team.

Not suggesting we trade the Twins at all(I've always been against it). But you need to add grit and toughness(that can play) throughout the lineup to compliment them. Hemsky would work well with Kesler, but having 3 players that aren't physical at all in our top 6 is going to hurt us.

The Bruins won the cup one year ago yesterday. So I'm gonna say the video can't possibly be a year old.

Not one who makes 5 million a year and gets constantly injured. Gillis is all about getting value and I don't think he'll see it in Hemsky. Again, I wouldn't totally be against a trade like this but I just hope Gillis surrounds them with right players or we'll get run out of the building in the playoffs when the refs put away the whistles.

If your dealing with EDM you will not get Hall Eberle RNH Smidt Peckham or Yakupov .Go ahead what is left. You can go for prospects or Gagner but how would they help us this year or next?

Luongo+kesler+first rounder for RNH and MP AND 2nd rounder.

Edit: Now that I look at it were kinda getting raped in this trade.

What about taking a chance on Latendresse? Says he's healthy. Would gamble on a 1 year deal, see how he works out.

No thanks, don't want RNH and we are overpaying. If it was Luo and Ballard maybe, but I would rather try and keep first rounder and take samuellson before EDM can.

Stephan Weise would be the best posibility I say we go hard for him, with Weise in our line up him and booth will have chemistry and kesler can take his time coming back to the line up.

I think if you move Edler ,you have to make sure you replace that slot with a good Dman .If Edler was to be moved I think it is after July 1 st when most of the players slotted in. More than likely would not be moved.
