Said this a couple pages back, I say it nearly every blog. Theyve even deleted posts of mine when I tell people to use FireFox+AdBlock

Do they really? Lol.

I guess I can understand, but that's pretty funny.

The only ad I get is that one on the bottom right, that yardbarker.com one, but I can handle a tiny one. That video used to piss me off so much.

So if anyone is interested, i thought it was interesting. Don Maloney, the Coyotes GM just said on NHL Network that he talked to 12 GMs today alone. He thinks between now and July 1st we will see several trades. His words.

He talked about Yandle. Said earlier in the week they had a big offer for Yandle, and turned it down.

How can Phoenix turn anything down? They should be forced to make any trade proposed to them...

He said something along the lines of Keith is a key young player and contributer to our team in order for us to make a trade it would havee to be something that you could say made sense. So i'm thinking they got offered some young guys and picks and they didn't think it was enough

Man, I think that Pavelec deal could end up being to the 2012 lockout what Bobby Holik was to the 2005 one. Brutal deal.

I'm sure it will be far surpassed in stupidity next week, but still.

Howson is a twit for not making the nash + #2 deals, that simple.

Nash + Murray

OR

Pavelski + Clowe + Demers + 1st (SJ) + these pics from the NYI: 4, 34, 65, 103, 125, 155, 185

ummmmm.....really? Is there is a thought to be made here? - aside from why these teams would offer the trades in the first place, HELLS NO! You take this trade and laugh all the way to the bank...how does it get any better?

He better be pulling off the mother of all trades with Nash and Murray better be the next Bobby Orr!

NHL Home Ice
Ray Shero @PGHPenguins GM told @NHLHomeIce he hopes to have a Sidney Crosby deal done by the end of the week


I cant wait to see the contract for Crosby

- USA_Parise9


10 years @ same $8.7 per year, forcing Malkin to keep it somewhat real, too.

New topic: If I had to hazzard an educated guess on who the Leafs next #1 centre would be, I'd go with Stastny. Yes, he's got a big contract but he's Burke's type of player and with Duchesne signing a new deal, he's the odd man out.

Personally, I like his game and think he'd be a good fit for the #1 spot. I think Mac Arhur or Bozak and a 1st round pick would be more than enough to land him.

Realistically, Getzlaf will stay in ANA with Ryan demanding a trade and Parise will go to an American market (Det, Min, NYR) or sign in NJ.

Thoughts? Any other big potentially #1 centers available you think could be pried away by the Leafs?

- modernhipster


I agree with most of your post....the only think I don't agree with is that Stastny is the 'odd man out in Colorado.' I think he's expendable because of his contract and the fact Duchene and O'Reilly can take the #1 and 2 centre spots, but I'm sure they'd be happy to keep him. They have a ton of cap space but also need to re-sign a ton of players. I think the offer of a decent winger (MacArthur) and a decent defenseman (Franson, Gunnarsson) might get them to bite.
