Hmm, I'm wondering if there's anything to that? have you heard something?

Just responding to that comment, but Neely is definitely more hands-on than Linden is here. That's probably why their new GM was promoted from within.

You would think he'd be appreciative that the Wild took a flyer on him, since he was only recently playing himself out of the league in Edmonton
- Zogg

Yeah, I expected that deal to be done by now.

True Detective is a messed up show.

Guarantee you that Boston doesn't do the deal without Kassian involved unless it's too good to pass up.

That's too bad, as it would be interesting to see them both put on the same line

How about this

Bonino Higgens Gaunce to Bos for Lucic

Vrbata to Pits for Sutter and a 2nd

Sign Joel Ward

Bieksa to anywhere for 3rd

Burrows to MTL for 2nd

Edler for a 1st

Sign Franson

Sedin-Sedin-Kassian
Lucic-Horvat-Sven
Ward-Sutter-Hansen
Dorsett-Cassels/McCann/Gaunce-Kenins

Tanev Hamhuis
Franson Sbisa
Corrado Clendenning

Give the keys, this roster would be amazing!!

a little change in team identity.

Lucic and Kassian would be a formidable duo
- Zogg

They sure would but I get the feeling you are going to have to give up Kassian to get Lucic.

Neely also had front office experience before he was made President, Linden never did. I also don't think it means anything that he wants to move Lucic, probably more because Lucic has value and Erixsson doesn't. Not to mention they're tight on the cap and Lucic probably wants a slight raise and will walk next season.

Still can't believe Beleskey is looking for huge $$$

Yah, I don't see any other sort of package/players being involved at the moment. And it would make sense from both a financial and hockey standpoint (at least for the B's)

lol that is both mesmerizing and disturbing. Is this some sort of visual metaphor for Canucks hockey? i.e. always shooting ourselves in the foot sort of thing?

Kinda scary that Neely wants to move him over Eriksson...red flag IMO.

That's the definition of "taking a load"

Ward wants big money and 4 years . No thanks

General manager told Friedman today that he expects a boatload (Friedman's term, not GM's) of trades coming...


Let's hope there's some truth to this.

I doubt it, I don't think you'll see much yet, the draft isn't about to start and the desperation hasn't hit it's peak yet.
