I understand, but whatever team grabs him his making a huge bet that he'll miraculously produce more outside of Columbus. His average is over 9 years, so it's not like a small sample...

Anyways...just my opinion.

Theres no doubt it will hurt them in the future but for some teams that are in a win now mode it might not be a bad idea short term, they'll just be vastly overpaying

Not if Burke acquires one between now and when camp starts, which is likely. Why? Because Burke didn't acquire him to be a centre.

Bunch of (frank) all

nah lupul wont be in the deal, id give up Garbo first if we could

Anythings possible, Burke has also stated that that position could be filled within the system, I don't think Burke is in any rush to get a 1C if it being giving up valuable assets. He'll try everything

Agreed for Lupul +

they need lupul. when you take lupul away, kessel becomes a shadow of himself.....

Marleau makes most sense.... SJ would be able to replace some depth they lost in a Nash deal
- jribout

most likely scenario...howson wanted pavelski plus at the trade deadline, and wilson said NO! I don't think wilson is suddenly going to give them pavs a few months later. marleau is expendable at this point in his career with sj as long as he waives his nmc.

They have 3 center men better then grabs. They need wingers. Its either Kessel or Lupul. I highly doubt that it is Kessel. If the leafs can get Stastny for Lupul and pick/prospect, it would be a steal. The leafs are desprete for a #1 center and this is a cheap way to do it. They do this, then get themselves a decent goalie they might be a playoff team.

Grabo for Stastny makes no sense.

Howson wants Couture.
Wilson said F you at the deadline lol

As a Devils fan, I'd love to have Semin on board! He could play side by side with Kovy and they could both learn from each other. Let's get this done!
- njsportzfanatic2

Ya, one will teach how not to make the playoffs and the other will teach how not to perform in the playoffs if they mak it there..

The Devils are in for a fun ride this year, it will probably end pretty badly.

Kessel will be just fine riding shot gun for Stastny. Leafs need to sell high on Lupul

After that playoff performance i'll be suprised if DW doesn't do something drastic

Theorized..... just wait..... okay I'm done, wait.

- Bieksa#3

just like the nucks should have sold high on the sedins when everyone thought they were going to be 100 point players for the foreseeable future

never really got how this sources thing works. someone tells EK they are looking at a centre with size but i can't tell you who. would a normal conversation not go " hey i hear burke is going to take a run at X". just seems to open ended to be a real conversation. i will except my ban now.
- tangocash001

i think the source tells him who the player is but ek can't say because he would loose the sources trust?

awesome. Back to back scoring titles and Henri was what 6 or 7 in scoring this past season. You are showing amazing hockey knowledge comparing the situation.

We have Dion - Gunnar
Gardiner - Liles
Franson - Komi
Holzer

Those players are NHL ready the others need more time.

Now, if only Burke was NHL ready...
