Mike Augello: Free Agent Folly, Flames Express Interest In Kessel??

no way Burke goes for Kessel again

Don't two wrongs equal a right?

MacWilliam and Knodel join Eric Brewer, David Booth, Colton Orr, Frazer McLaren, Troy Bodie, Kevin Marshall, Zach Sill and Trevor Smith

Anyone want any of them back?

Sill 4th line.
Brewer 6-7 D

would be ok.

I could see a deal that revolves around Wideman (@$5.25M for 2yrs)... however, Toronto already has an overpaid "top pairing" defenseman in Phaneuf.

Id be okay with Booth or Sill

Wonder if Dion will celebrate Canada Day tomorrow in Philadelphia?

as a cap dump coming back he is fine

Couldn't trade Booth for anything at the deadline. Most likely no point in bringing him back.

Not making a lineup, just looking at roster space with available players we currently have.

Jvr - Bozak - Kessel
Lupul - Kadri - Panik
Komarov - Holland - Leivo
Frattin - Carrick - Bailey

not much room right now to even sign people. We want to bring up some AHL players.
Who do you move? who isn't on the roster on opening day?

I'd take Sill who has more jam over "I'm always hurt" Booth.

ILoveLamp:

Excellent opportunity for a high draft pick.

part, if not all the 4th line.

We have Lupes for that..

No doubt.
They said it was going to be a long rebuild.
You move Kessel and Bozak out, and you get an even better pick

part, if not all the 4th line.
- zazzle

Bailey, maybe they leave him in the AHL.

Frattin they will give another shot at camp. Carrick deserves a shot too, see if he can play a 4th line role or not.

Hate to say it, but the Bruins made a good trade today.

I wanted San Jose's 2016 pick... could wind up top-3... especially since they look to have a goalie with 30 games experience as their #1.


They managed to get 2 1sts and 2 decent(if unspectacular) prospects out of Lucic.



See what retaining 2M gets you?

They need to keep Bozak for the better pick.

2 1sts in the hands of Sweeney may really be 2 7ths.
Wow that draft strategy was mind boggling.

yeah for 1 year

Kessel, Dion, Lupul and Bozak are all 3 years min.

See what having a bad GM gets you

The guy they took with the 1st from the Lucic trade(Zboril) went right where he was expected to go.

It's the guy they drafted with the pick from the Hamilton trade that's a head scratcher.

exactly. Retaining for more years requires even more of a pay-day.

I'm just reiterating my point that if you get a good offer for retaining, you do it.

See what retaining 2.7M gets you?
- Schenn-Sational!
