He likes young people, boys, girls whatever. Why is it such a bad thing to be attracted to young people?

Pavs alone is a better player than Nash. There, I said it. Lower cap hit, one of the best in the league in the draw circle. Scored more points than Nash last season. I don't want to trade Pavs for Nash who carries a horrendous contract. Let alone all those other assets involved in the deal.

I agree. I dont think Nash is a smart choice for SJ. Pavelski is a stud there.

Are they prepared to be a cap team now?
- S Kaspar Rollins


Not quite, but they won't be a cap floor team anymore. Seems like i heard somewhere that karmanos is willing to put more money in this year then previous years. They also acquired a new group of investors last year.

Agreed.

Your trade looks better in the sense of not over paying, but if you are the Jackets I dont want a guy who grinds I want a scorer (thats why Pavs is in play) and I dont believe Marleau will be in the deal for Nash (some SJ fans want Marleau for Nash). I think he will be traded elsewhere if necessary to bring in Nash.

A deal that includes Pavs for nash in ANY form is absolutley crazy! Pavs is 4M per year vs Nash 7.8M a year and almost same point totals... Pavs is also same age so i cant figure out this rumor...

Not to mention that this potential deal will cripple the Sharks forward depth even further.

I think the higher ups are demanding carolina immediately improves.
- Centerfire270


True, and also why risk it...if Staal goes to another team, he may end up liking it and want to stay. Go for it now....

8th + Sutter + conditional 1st if Staal resigns <-> Staal + Strait/similar prospect

PITT then trades the 8th overall (+Morrow + TK, maybe 1 more piece) in a deal for Ryan.

If we trade Pavelski for Nash, I will be irate. I'd be willing to part ways with Clowe+ for Nash, but that's about it.

Our forward depth is pretty good actually. Down the middle we're amongst the deepest in the league with Thornton, Couture, Pavelski, and even Marleau can play center. But even with that said, this trade would be attrocious for the Sharks.

Why would Jordan prefer to Play with Eric isntead of Marc?
- Oilhab

Marc could be moved from the Rangers. Eric is set in Carolina.

@ice_chip
Rutherford said there are a lot of teams looking to make trades. But said those talking to Canes want someone like Faulk, Sutter, Skinner

That's just not gonna cut it. Not sure what DW is thinking here, because the numbers are pretty obvious.

Granted we will almost certainly be trading Doug Murray for cap relief this offseason, it still doesn't make sense.

Yeah. I dont think Nash is worth 2 top 6s from any team

That Philly deal is insane. JVR + Bob+ 1st+ whatever else they want

Let Philly grow, they will be a great team with Schenn JVR Couturier Voracek....WHY get rid of such a taented group?
