Who would they send back to the jets? They have hardly any talent.
- jaumiller


They've got a lot of young talent. Look up and down there prospect pool. Pretty good looking team. Add Okposo, Tavares, Nielsen, Strome and Bailey.

Sabres have zero talent as well unless you start looking at some of there prospects.

Well they owe buffalo there 1st rounder either this year or next so good luck with them pulling that trade off.
- Brockv


They have plenty of prospects so if they didn't have a 1st rd pick for two years in a row it wouldn't be the worst thing in the world for them, but they have to get some real value for that 2nd 1st since they pretty much gave away a 1st already for nothing.

Don't be such a dumas. They have plenty of talented prospects... just no talent behind the bench, in the FO, or owner's suite

Good lord read down the page a bit and you will see I corrected my self.

Dont think the Jets would be selling off players for a bunch of picks and prospects, they would want value back. Dont think guys like Grabner, Bailey will get it done.

Okposo would have to be in the deal to make it worth for the Jets, why would they move Kane signed long term for peanuts. And it would be dumb for you to move him as well, its a dumb thought by Ek.

But Jets moving Pavs to the Islanders makes more sense

- DDM-Coga


EK does NOT think about these trades. He just reports what he supposedly 'hears'... i would venture from his Eastern sources, cuz it seems quite apparent he has no sources in the West (meaning west of the BC / Alta border down to mexico following the Rockies).

The only time he seems to have any insight into anything to the west of the Rockies/ BC-Alta border is when some team source in the East gives him a tidbit of information.

Although I have to say quite clearly Eastern media (ie: Toronto) have no clue what goes on in BC and area. The only people who know what's happening in BC are people who actually live there.

The Isles will be a playoff contender next season and will keep their pick this year. The team next season will be fighting for that wild card spot. Book it. You heard it here first.

They'd probably do it without Bailey. With bailey they definitely wouldn't do it

I agree they are not as bad as everybody thinks. They have to get a goalie and add a solid vet on D

Obviously Snow is not trading Okposo for anyone at this point. Not that I'm an advocate for this fake trade but I wonder what it would take?
- Cptmjl


Sounds like the perfect trade Snow would make...Kinda like the Vanek trade.

People are claiming that Okposo would have to be a part of this trade. It wouldn't make sense. They'd get Kane to play with jt and ko. As fun as it would be to have Kane, we need a goalIe, 2 d-men, and a coach. Can we pull a Celtics trade and include a coach
