How is having turned 27 in November almost 30? I suppose Schenn is also almost 25.

The only way I think of this deal is on a one for one basis and I might not even give up Schenn. For LA to even think of dumping their captain puts up huge red flags for me, and seeing they're fighting for a playoff spot makes the flags bigger. You just don't get rid of "Your Leader" during this time.Mack674 said:

Think he's been struggling since Darryl Sutter came aboard. Sutter made some comments about him and Kopitar I think (about how they need to focus more on themselves and not the team or something), and had him moved from right to left wing.
Was also speculated they want to just make Mike Richards captain.

Frattin is as big as Brown, 4 years younger, cheaper, and just may be as good or better than Brown.
No way you give up Schenn AND Frattin for Brown.

I'm going to get flamed here but I don't understand why folks wouldn't move Gardiner in a deal for the right player. Look, I like Gardiner plenty but is he really the next Niedermayer or is he going to be something closer to the next Liles?

I'd take the Niedermeyer comparison. If he's traded and turns out to be just that, won't we be regretting it thereafter?
Keep Gardiner!

Stop the madness! Schenn is 22, still developing but has the tools to be a great shutdown D-man. Brown has developed nicely into a role-player (leader/gritty forward), but at 27 he is in his prime, what you see is what you get with him now (in my opinion), he's not going to skyrocket into a points/PIMs leader.
I agree he's exactly what our forward corps needs, but not at the cost of Schenn. Give them Aulie (who is a Schenn clone but behind Luke in development) or one of the puck-moving D instead. Luke has a ways to go but he will be a stalwart on the back end for years if we don't give up on him.

I've heard the Liles comparison before. How could he be the next Liles when he's already better than Liles after only 50 games in the league? Niedermayer may be a stretch, but his ceiling looks to be pretty darn high. I'd only move him if it was a major upgrade at some position and there was no other way around it. Like it or not, we may see it happen this week-end.

As per TSN: Leafs looking at Oilers Khabibulin as potential netminder. He has one year left on his contract, is 39, and could provide veteran netminding.
Another option, Nabokov, if Isles decide otherwise.
Kings willing to trade Dustin Brown but demands are high.

If we're taking on Habby then hopefully we're getting something else along with him. Oilers would love to dump his contract. That would also spell the end to Gus in T.O.hockeyfan1 said:
