do you really want parise for what he signed for? we already have vanek making that kind of money we can't afford to "super"stars

Really? i'm being a smart a$$

semin update?

When did Darcy fleece Dallas? When he gave up the guy who has led his team in points in 3 of the last 5 seasons (and had the highest pp/g average in a 4th of the 5 seasons) for someone eminently less talented? He really took them to the cleaners there.

People put way too much into individual statistics. This team had a better win percentage without Roy in the lineup than when he was in it for the past two years. That's why this is a good trade. It's about wins, not points. There is very little correlation between Roy's point production and the team's success.

Myers, 1st rounder, and whatever else Nashville wants for Shea Weber.

Semin's going to be boiling to the surface anytime now.

i know..

i still can't believe the length of those contracts.. we could have the next winner of the dipeitro award soon.. Parise does have knee problems

and i think the most important thing about this whole situation is that we will not ever see the Pommer roy vanek line again... Roy is the exact opposite kind of center that vanek needed but they were always together

That and changing the culture of the team on and off of the ice. The trade could help both teams.

I know it helps me by not having to pay a penny to see Derek Roy play this year!

we can't afford to give up a dman even if we are getting one back.. make it Ennis, cody and a 1st for shea

After what Nashville just experienced with Suter, they would be ignorant to not listen to offers. Problem being, will Weber sign long term with us?

Throw in Grigs and Catenacci, and we've got a deal

Okay, I got up extremely early to go for a pretty long run, and am now at work. My sarcasm detector is in questionable shape. This is a test to see if it's working...

you are trying to converse with a part time banana and part time apple

of course at least it's not the cucumber that showed up last year

It's going to take a lot more than that to get Shea Weber.

I'd do that.

I'm banking on the fact that if you give Pegula a whole year to convince a player to sign here long term, he'll succeed.

yep, tweak it with a prospect or a later pick if needed

There's always the "conditional" pick as well, on whether or not he signs long-term.

Myers does have more value than you think, though, based on the fact that he is already under contract for a long time, especially because Buffalo has already paid at least half of his bonus money.

just curious guys, how does that strenghten the weak center position?

If it means I get a player as good as Shea Weber, I worry about that later. Hell, I'd even live with taking Derek Roy back.
