I'm just hoping Nonis figures out how to get in on the Flyers plans to do something incredibly short sighted by Wednesday.

The most recent reports about this draft is that it's not particularly rich, but, rather, top heavy . . . which means, it's unlikely a team is going to trade down from an enviable position to take 2 lesser picks.

We have a local buffoon named David Pratt who does a "commentary". He's a true idiot who picks crap out of nowhere and pumps it. The latest today is that Gillis is still talking to Nonis about Luongo and the 2 pieces (never said either together or an individual trade) from Toronto side is Bozak - (wow no scoop there) and Lupul..... He went on to comment that the issue with Lupul is that he's injury prone and has 5 years left on his deal with the Leafs.
I almost spit out my soup....
What an idiot.

You know, he and Lupul could split time on the LTIR?

Better not to pick up anyone with a significant cap hit next season unless they're expected to be a key contributor. I'm not sure Cammalleri would qualify there. I just don't see him being worth $6M on a $64M cap.

I threw it out last night on twitter and interestingly enough either Dreger or McKenzie floated his name an hour later. Either they steal my brilliant ideas or I am some sort of wizard, but either way, if this guy is possibly available I would be all over that. He's in a similar boat to what Phaneuf was in Calgary... not quite living up to expectations and on a team not going anywhere.
he would be fantastic on the 2nd pair either with Liles or Gardiner (assuming he doesn't cost Gardiner to get, which he might) and the pressure to be 'the man' wouldn't be as much behing behind Phaneuf.

I may be inclined to trade them straight up, basically you get a guy with a heavy shot, moves pretty good for a big guy and is grittier and better defensively than Gardiner however he is 3 yrs older. I think with Reilly coming along soon it may be a smart move. With all the love for Gardiner out there right now you may be able to snag a pick as well to offset the contract and difference in age.
