I think Anaheim would want Karlsson going to the DUCKS in the deal.

And we would want Perry then Kid just won a norris at 22 years old

I can't tell if he was serious with that comment.

Iam just making sure

Just to note:

We have a 1st rounder in 2013
- mventres[yes, this is a good asset)
Kadri [meh, not much value as he has shown very little promise when on the big club]
Lupal [questions about health, consistency, what contract he'll command]
Kessel [Don't see the leafs wanting to deal him]
Gardiner [not on the block either]
Riely [not on the block]
Jvr [doubtful he's traded given they just got him]
Colbourne [see Kadri, but slightly higher as he has some size]


Basically, what yu really have is the 2013 1st rounder. All the others listed are either not being traded, or at best, average commodities at this point. The return for Nash/Ryan/etc will be ALL top-flight players. Think players you wouldn't want to trade if they were on your team, that's what it'll take...

I responded to a post where a nomind stated we didnt have the assets to trade for a guy like Getzalf,nowhere was it asked if burkie was willing to trade them or not..The point i made still stands the same reguardless of what you might think of certain players or what you think burke would be willing to do with them..So again yes we could do a trade because we do actually have players,prospects,picks reguardless of what other people think..

Kadri and Komi can get them ANYONE in the NHL!!!!!

Not if Ehrhoff and Leino are in the mix!!!!!!!!!!!

Those two alone could fetch 9 Malkins, 35 Toews and 4 Stamkos.

Kessel is the biggest reason we need Getzlaf. Why would we trade the winger for the playmaker we need to play with him?

Because you have the 2nd worst active GM in hockey ?

I wouldnt put too much stock into the fact that the Ottawa sun reported an interest in ryan.

Bruce Garrioch and Don Brennan often write articles will 100% conviction that Bryan Murray reads them and will listen to their advice. Articles with titles like "Sens should trade Spezza, Sens should buyout Kuba, Sens should sign Semin (todays article) and of course, sens should sign konopka, followed by: I was right about the sens signing konopka"


These guys dont actually have sources. They just use their columns to try to tell the Senators organization what they should do.. according to them.

Little do they know, they are the laughing stock of true fans, professionals, and even Senators management

I WOULD like to get Ryan.. do i believe BM and co has seriously made any attempts? Not at all. If for no other reason than the fact that it was the Sun reporting it

In various interviews with the Finnish media Teemu Selänne has confirmed he wants to play, but he's still waiting to see what the Ducks do over the summer before signing up for "one more year". I imagine possible trades for Ryan and Getzlaf would scare him away if the return is not really good (NHL ready players), since he has stated many times he has no interest in being a part of a rebuild process.

And I'm sure Ottawa would have loved to get Zdeno Chara back as part of the Dany Heatley trade.

For whatever reason, it didn't work out that way. Curious, how Norris Trophy winners aren't traded for disgruntled wingers.

The all-caps DUCKS threw me off a bit.

The Leafs don't have the assets to acquire a guy like Getzlaf
- keatondixon

Is that why teams were offering 1st rounders at the trade deadline for 3 of our regulars????

I think they would take Kessel, Grabovski and Rielly for Getzlaf
- senstroll

nah grabo kuli or mac and a 2nd or 2 and thats only if he signs

most philly fans are part broken anyways so don't mind him

Kessel - Burke's baby
Grabovski - terrible contract, overrated
Rielly - bust
- keatondixon
