Your bitterness and self loathing. That and your thoughts on Wayne Gre..Stastny
- Gunslinger

And if hab fans tried the same magical leaf fan formula to delusion and said they would get Statsny for Desharnais, Yannick Webber and Raphael Diaz you leafers would have said?

If its such a stale trade as you imply, why would either teams be interested in it?
- PRICEless

Thats what Im not getting about all of this.

Dont ask them now, wait for some hab fans to actually make that kind of proposition and wait for reactions.

Their roster is nearly full. All they have to do is sign O'Reilly and McGinn and their roster is complete. Why would they acquire three players they don't need and that aren't significant upgrades?
- Two_For_Truth

nearly full?

they have 8 D on their roster, 3 of which shouldn't be in the NHL.

To fill the need of a center. Trading points of depth for points in need.

Because the Avalanche, and their fans, desperately want to see the Leafs get better.

Don't worry son i'm in the thread we'll get to the bottom of this.

We're talking about Phaneuf now?

Of course I cant follow. WTF are you talking about?

- Lee Denault

Ok fair enough...

What's your take on Buddy the cakeboss?
And do you know this other guy Rocco the supercook? (forgot his name but apparently he didn't get along with the superinvestor that owned the restaurant)

Point made, game over. Guess Mac should be making 6.5 million
- Gunslinger

Why not? Apparently he has career years every year, he deserves it.

No, i wanna know no, so have at it, what would leaf fans say to that deal?

- Big_Lightnin

So the solution would be to add a 9th defender in the form of Franson? And carry 14 forwards?

Indeed, only the leafs and their need of a #1 center would have interests in such a trade. There is simply no reason for the Avs to go in that direction. They dont need MacArthur and they certainly dont need your AHL'ers seeing how they have twice the prospect pool that the leafs have.

They surely need bozak and a few spare part dmen.

So the Avalanche can move an underperforming 6.6 million dollar player that is sliding down their depth chart.

I've never heard of buddy the cakeboss but if he is the one that made the Stanley cup cake...good lord how to I get a hold of him.

"HAH '93 COLOURED KOOL-AID GLASSES TYP HABS FAN!"

or something along those lines.

Past 2 seasons. Love how two became one in this case. Gotta love Hab math

He's not underperforming, he's overpaid.

- eihcnerf

Diaz and Webber together are probably a little too raw, but a young guy up front like Geoffion or Leblanc instead would do it.

although I wouldn't trade make that trade if I were the Habs...

Desharnais, Yannick Weber and Raphael Diaz for Statsny.

How about ....

McLement = Brent = (Dupuis + 1 can of red bull) = Steckel = Moore = (Boyce + 2 cans of red bull) = (Zigomanis + 3 cans of red bull) = etc ....

That leaves them with two centres...

Edit: Im pretty sure its two.

Desharnais, Yannick Weber and Raphael Diaz for Statsny.
- eihcnerf

Hey that rids us of one of our two 2nd line centers hence making room for Galchenyuk. It totally helps the habs, LETS DOOEET!

Geoffrion id lose in a heart beat, Bourque too. Leblanc, hasnt played enough yet IMO.
