Prophet of Mike Zagurski 0 Report post Posted March 9, 2006 SportsNet is saying Theodore for Aebischer. Patrick Roy better come out of retirement. That was the first thing I was thinking when I saw this. I think Abby is a more consistent goalie than Theodore. I think the Habs got the better deal.

Guest Report post Posted March 9, 2006 Let's say that the Avs aren't able to get Luongo. Can they make the playoffs on the shoulders of PETER BUDAJ? Nah, no way, they'd slide out and the Ducks would slide in. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Red Baron 0 Report post Posted March 9, 2006 Coming from someone who saw Huet down the stretch last season, trust me, you do not want him to be your #1. With Theo's cap number, Gainey did the right thing. Agreed. They are probably going to try and lock in a few more players (Ryder, Zednik, Higgins, Markov) or trying to bring a good defencemen in.

Red Baron 0 Report post Posted March 9, 2006 Personally I'm 50-50 for it. I mean he has let in some shady goals, but for what he did with Montreal in the last few seasons, he did all he could have did for what defence (or lack their of). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Red Baron 0 Report post Posted March 9, 2006 Its funny that it was just over ten years ago that Montreal traded Roy and Mike Keane for Joceylin Thiabult, Martin Rucinsky, and Andrei Kovalenko. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

nl5xsk1 0 Report post Posted March 9, 2006 Also, Mariusz Czerkawksi was waived by Toronto and subsequently claimed by Boston. Good thinking, B's. Just what the team needed, another 4th liner. Could someone at least confirm that he's a UFA at the end of the year, so this isn't additional salary for next year? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Red Baron 0 Report post Posted March 9, 2006 Correct. UFA next year. Probably the Isles will pick him up for a third time around, score 25 goals, ask too much and go somewhere else again. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

nl5xsk1 0 Report post Posted March 9, 2006 rb51, thanks for the info on Czerkawski's FA status. I fully admit that I'm a cynic & a pessimist, but I just don't see things getting much better next year for the Bruins. They'll have a decent core to build around (the Boyes/Bergeron/Sturm line, and Murray is a great start to a 2nd line, if they can pick up a pass-first Center) ... but I just have no faith in the front office or Sullivan to put together, or utilize, a decent team.

Guest Report post Posted March 9, 2006 Now all the good stuff is gonna happen, like Witt and Arnason. That's irony with Recchi though, a Penguin in Orpik puts Cole out for the season which causes Carolina to trade with Pittsburgh for Recchi. Cool. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Red Baron 0 Report post Posted March 9, 2006 Thats just as bad when Roy was dealt to the Avs in 95. The year before the trade would never happen because Montrealers would have rioted the street. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Report post Posted March 9, 2006 That's why Burke really confuses me. He gets ODonnell and Friesen to make it seem like he's making a run for the playoffs, then he trades one of his best defensemen. Weird. Ozolinsh is a Ranger. I guess Burke had this feeling of, I think we can make a run at it, and then an hour later he thought, oh shit, we don't have enough. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Ghost of bps21 0 Report post Posted March 9, 2006 Vancouver got a good goalie for a second round pick. If he could have stayed injury free...he had won the starting job from Biron twice in the last few seasons. Then he gets hurt the next game... But he is a talented guy.

Guest Report post Posted March 9, 2006 Witt to Nashville. They look real good. The Noronen deal was probably the best that any GM's made so far. WOW, Detroit just traded a 4th round pick for Cory Cross. That's awful. Steve McCarthy to Atlanta from Vancouver. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Report post Posted March 9, 2006 Samsonov to Edmonton warrants a new post, and Arnason is now a Senator and Chicago gets Bochenski in that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dogbert 0 Report post Posted March 9, 2006 I'm impressed with the Samsonov deal (depending on what they traded to get him), even though he's having an off year. They'd better hope that Sergei regains his form, though, because he hasn't hit 70 points since 2002. Arnason's a Senator, heading there for Brandon Bochenski.

Guest Report post Posted March 9, 2006 Edmonton might have got hosed, if they really gave up Marc-Andre Bergeron. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nl5xsk1 0 Report post Posted March 9, 2006 The fact that it's Sergei for TBA means it's either a really good prospect or a bucket of pucks. With MOC's track record, I'm leading towards the latter. And Samsonov is going to be a FA in the offseason and ask for a ton of money, I think ... Edmonton might just be renting him rather than planning on keeping him long term.

the max 0 Report post Posted March 9, 2006 I was hearing numerous rumors of any combination the three headed monster Torres/Stoll/Staios for Raycroft for a while. I'd expect one or two of those players to be coming to the Bruins. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Report post Posted March 9, 2006 Niko Dimitrakos is a Flyer, and the player in the Sergei deal is more than likely MA Bergeron. Jim Dowd, a great faceoff guy, is an Av. Willie Mitchell is a Star. Dammit. The Stars gave up a 2nd and prospect. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Willie Mitchell is a Star. Dammit. The Stars gave up a 2nd and prospect. It's actually Mitchell and a 2nd for Skoula and Belle. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Report post Posted March 9, 2006 Oh yeah, oops. And the Boston deal is Reasoner + draft pick + non roster player for Samsonov. Weinrich is a Canuck. Skoula brings puck poise. That's it. Wild got hosed. Jamie Lundmark to Calgary and it's getting fun. Oleg Kvasha's a Coyote. So now all the Isles have to show from the Luongo and Jokinen deal is Tambellini, Grebeshkov and whatever they got from Phoenix. That's bad. I forget if the pick that got DiPietro was a part of that.
