Jeremy Laura: Dekeyser and Biega on waivers

I could see Stevie being involved in a Taylor Hall trade if the Oilers want him. The Holland-Yzerman connection is even stronger than the Yzerman-JBB one. GM's like working with GM's they know and trust.

Hall goes to Edmonton. Sabres retain 50%. Oilers trade two 2nds to Buffalo. Stevie retains half of Kenny's 50%. Stevie gets another 4th round pick from Kenny?

honestly, what does Dekeyser even do out there?
He's another player like Helm,Filpulla,Nielsen, etc. that just take up cap space.

DD is a body. A 5 million dollar body. That's it.

We just traded Merrill to Montreal. Hayden Verbeek and a 5th. I don't think he's Pat's son.

I was just joking about that. Maybe Pat has a summer home in GR Hayden can stay at

Anyone here want Yzerman to grab Mete off waivers?

Why not? He looked decent before. But maybe that's because he was playing with Shea Weber?

We’re basically dropping half of our blue line (or more). Young kid, potential, etc

Biega could be traded to a taxi squad for cheap depth! Would count $0 against the cap.

What's with drafting and trading for relatives, Steve?
No other deals came up, since it was rumored that 5 teams were in on Merril?

I wouldn’t mind grabbing Tyler Bertuzzi. Not sure if he re entered the draft, but injuries sidelined him a bit. Center, good strength

Maybe we can sign Stevie's daughters? Do any of them play goalie?

Karine says Mete can't win a puck battle to save his life. He'd fit right in.

Yep

I definitely would take a flier on Mete. His metrics are really, really good, albeit in a very limited role.

It's quite possible he might not be able to handle more responsibility but he's also only 22. Low risk, potential for a medium-plus reward.

Also put me down as disappointed that the return for Merrill is only a fifth. I think he's a lot better than that.

Yzerman like big D men. Would be very surprised to see him snag Mete. Would make the Merrill deal look better though lol.

He doesn’t score and isn’t physical so his eye test doesn’t do his play justice imo.
