Not close in my book. Clarkson only cost us cash, Edmonton could have gotten a top winger in the league and a pick for a guy who rapidly turned into a scrub...

Here is a wild idea.`Flyers have about 1.4 Mil in cap space. I am not sure how that would work but something like this.

1) Bieksa for Sanhiem and Canucks and Canucks keep 3.2 mil of KB salary this year and 2.5 next year and get a good top 10 6'3 RHD prospect

2) Pronger Sanheim for Bieksa . Canucks keep 3.2 of KB salary this year none next year


never mind #2 I just remembered cou cant trade an injured player

I think you're misjudging Philly's position as a franchise. They're trying to get younger and rebuild that d-core under Hextall. There's no way that do that, even if they covet Bieksa.

For sure, but Perry wasn't as highly thought of back then as a prospect. Comrie was also looking like a really solid young top 6 center.

Gomez trade was worse than both IMO, everyone could see that he was declining and the Rangers overpaid him big time as a UFA. Montreal not only bailed them out of that contract, but gave up a promising young prospect(McDonagh).

What about Vinny and Sanheim

Still highly doubt Sanheim is available. That'd be similar to the Canucks trading Horvat or Virtanen right now, unless the deal is too good to pass up it's not gonna happen.

Can't believe they signed Vinny until 2017-2018

Isn't this only his second season there and they already want to turf him?

Just stumbled across this gem:

Down Goes Brown ‏@DownGoesBrown 1h1 hour ago
Oh man. Via @JonathanWillis, Oilers could have had Corey Perry and a first for Mike Comrie in '03, but Lowe got cute. http://bit.ly/1DIn2BU

Wow the fact he is still employed shows how bad the oilers are as a franchise.

I agree. It would be like trading Johansen for Shinkaruk and a first. Maybe Shink is the next Patrick Kane. Probably not.

Don't be so grumpy. Pronger was the fail.

I already stated I think Bieksa stays this season.

Over/under on goals scored by the Stars tonight?

I'm starting the line at 4 and pick the over.

I am not being grumpy I asked a question only. Pronger is LTIR so it wouldnt have hurt our cap, but then I realized you cant move injured players so I said foget it.
