Trade Deadline

[CarltonTheBear]

Here's a hypothetical. Would anyone do Clarkson for Ehrhoff?

Absolutely. Ehrhoff's cap hit is great. The length is scary as hell, but for Clarkson that's fine.

Darren Dreger ‏@DarrenDreger Let the Gardiner, Kadri rumours fly.

Still laughing! Good stuff Shrimp.

Yeah, that might have been too easy. So...is there a contract in the league you wouldn't take for Clarkson one for one?

Why is Ales Hemsky the most overhyped player at the deadline every year.  What part of seasons of 22, 42, 36, 20, and 26 point to him as being a scorer anymore?  Yes, that's a biased view of him because of his injury shortened seasons but the guy is a 40-50 point player at best anymore.

Here's one argument: http://www.senatorsextra.com/main/numbers-game-who-should-nhl-general-managers-target-and-avoid-at-the-deadline

Basically he's still a reasonably productive player, has decent-to-good possession numbers and I guess this season at least has spent a lot of time with Gordon/Smyth, who are pretty bad offensively.

I think he's a guy that could probably flourish on a better team.

He'll finally get traded, he's a UFA after this season.

Not a trade but Stamkos makes his return.

Maybe some of the guys on long-term contracts with some serious injury issues, but, even then, I'd probably do it for most/all of them.

I'm more concerned about his contract now that there's talk of the cap not going as high next season as was initially projected due to the weak Canadian dollar.

Don't forget the $7 million we forked out for your idol either. Another one we will regret down the road. I guarantee those two will be bought out or traded before they end. 2 mistakes by Nonis especially the duration.

Well, here's my Leafs trade deadline wishlist:

1. Jaromir Jagr(Raymond and a future 2nd?)
2. Christian Ehrhoff(Clarkson and a first)
3. Draft picks(in the form of trading Reimer/Bolland)

It's believed COL has made multi-year contract offer to soon to be UFA C Paul Stastny. If he doesn't sign, trade is still a possibility.


Calm down, Zee.

So is Colorado's plan to, at some point, just play 5 centers at once? I believe it was GZA of the Wu Tang Clan who said "You need to diversify your bonds..." and then a word I'd be uncomfortable typing.

 

[BlueWhiteBlood]

Does anybody have a stream of the goings on? Tradecenter or Sportscrap.... anything? Pulling my hair out looking for one with little success.

If it's on the TSN site, I'll feel dumb, because I looked.

Doesn't seem to work for me, but maybe it will for you.

But could the Maple Leafs anti-up for Alex Edler? Perhaps. Leafs won't deal Reilly, but Gardiner could to be included. Kadri? We'll see.

I wonder if something around Gardiner and Reimer for Edler would work. I think Edler would be a great acquisition. If it was Gardiner and Kadri I'd think there would be another significant piece coming back with Edler but Edler is 27 and has more 5 years more at 5M so it wouldn't be a rental.

I legitimately think the team would be nuts to trade Kadri at this point. For just about anyone.
