I agree. And to rephrase my last question, which team is going to show the 'nads to make the trade. Who is really serious about winning this year?
- TandA4Flames

In the East I could see the Pens, Bruins, Habs all trying hard to make a trade happen.

How do you know?
- The-O-G

because there are enough teams interested that the flames should net a more than decent return. you're making it sound like you'll give him up for a couple of rolls of tape and a bag of pucks.

I really doubt the Blues are in on Boyes or Hecht..

They have 3-4 RFA's, they will likely need to move 1 or 2, and will need suitable replacement.

Thats my guess.
- Bigzby

OR this rumour is bogus. Boyes sucks, I'd be happy to see him go. Watching him play with Tavares makes me naseous. Finally are rock headed coach has come to his senses and is hopefully taking him off that line tonight. If the Blues want Boyes I'll drive him to the airport.

Yea, you and everyone besides EK for some reason?

If that is the case the Bruins won't get Iginla. Trading away anyone off the top 2 lines doesn't help. I think everyone except Horton is signed past next season and are considered the core of this team that they will build around for the next few seasons.
Iginla is a great player, but as a rentsl to Boston he's not worth trading a top 6 away.
- GSDIV

There's only one player in Boston's top six I wouldn't swap Iggy for and that's Seguin. Honestly a late first round pick and a top prospect who hasn't proved themselves doesn't get a player like Iginla. Calgary will want to fill in the roster spot with another top six.

Wheee, flinging poop is fun.

There isn't anyone except for maybe Horton I would trade Calgary for an Iginla rental, from the top 6. The only way the Bruins become better is to I prove the roster without moving their best players. If that can't happen then they go with what they have.

Are we talking Iginla in his prime or right now? There is a big difference there. If it's Iginla in his prime then yeah I would take him over most of our top 6. Right now though is a different story. Iginla is still good but at 35 and most likely a rental I don't trade anyone in our top 6. No one is going to give a top 6 player for Iginla unless he can commit to signing an extension, it defeats the whole purpose of picking him up.

Iginla in your lineup would make your team favourites to win the cup. And trust me when I say that pains me to admit that. You honestly wouldn't give up anyone in your top six for Iginla and a better chance to win the cup? That's the way I see it anyways but to each their own.

why not just mention who Toronto is NOT in on.

may be easier really.

I have some of the same sources as Eklund. I can tell you for a fact that MOST of what Eklund reports is bullplop - not because he does it intentionally, but because Eklund's sources know that he won't filter anything he is told. Therefore, to have some fun at his expense, they frequently feed him false information to mask what teams are really doing.

So to clear a few things up.

TOR: TOR is not looking at Boyes because he is a locker room cancer and because they got rid of him once - in the Owen Nolan trade. Neither are they looking at Derek Roy because he is small, soft, shoots first and has herpes. TOR needs a big bodied passing centre.

CAL: Calgary will not trade Iginla, Cammalleri, Tanguay or Kiprusoff because Murray Edwards has explicitly forbade Feaster from doing so. For ownership the possibility of playoff hockey supersedes the certainly of basement dwelling.

EDM: Tambellini has been itching to makes some moves but Lowe has his leash pretty tight. Lowe and his staff are terrified of making a deal because they truly believe each and every prospect has superstar potential and do not want to be the next Mike Milbury.

BOS: Bos is looking to the Jets for third line depth. Look at them to try and pluck Burmistrov, Antropov or Miettenen for picks or a low level prospect.

I'll provide more when I can.

Hecklund.

Any Wings news, actually, alot of the makes sense to me.

Yes but the news isn't earth shattering. The Wings are likely to be both buyers and sellers. Given the depth of this year's draft (The Wings' bread and butter) Detroit is looking to sell off some spare parts for picks, while also still trying to replace Lidstrom.

If they can't find a top 2 dman via trade this year, look for them to talk to Nashville about Shea Weber next year. There is also an internal debate about whether Jimmy Howard is their franchise goalie. Not everyone in that office is convinced.

If the Red Wings cant find a top 2 Dman they would be better off as sellers at this years trade deadline rather than buyers. The price tag on players is going to be much more than what they are worth.

Let's face it, doubt there will be many trades this year anyways, thats why this site is so funny.

Where's JBO going?
- whipper334

Not much of a market for him unless Calgary either retains a portion of his salary OR throws in a 2nd round pick, neither of which Feaster will do.

COL would like to add a guy like JBO but Calgary would not trade within its own division UNLESS the price was ridiculous. COL is not a cap team so they rely heavily on draft development and won't pay Feasters price.

Look for MTL to try and work something out for JBO. These teams have a history with the Bourque for Cammalleri trade which worked out well for both teams.

Assuming Calgary doesnt retain salary or include a high pick, I think you can expect something like this.

To MTL: Jay Bouwmeester, 4th round pick.
To CGY: Yannick Weber, Tomas Kaberle, 3rd round pick.

Good stuff.

At best Horton just because hes a UFA this summer, but the Bruins want to add talent without giving up theirs. If that means not getting Iginla then so be it. If the Flames aren't willing to take picks and prospects then I really don't see Iginla moving. Bos, Pitt, LA, Det are not going to give up forwards in their top 6 to add Iginla IMO. The teams willing to give up top 6 forwards for Iginla will be fringe playoff teams and I don't think Iginla waives unless the team is a heavy favorite.

With the cap going down next year, few teams can absorb JBO's salary without sending some back.

TOR has considered JBO but not unless CGY takes Komisarek straight up or sweetens the pot for Liles.
