garfieldsnose Posted February 26, 2008 Report Posted February 26, 2008 FLYERS WIN! THEEEEEE FLYERS WIN!!!!!
the max Posted February 26, 2008 Report Posted February 26, 2008 Flyers also got Vinny Prospal for Picard/conditional pick in 2009. Tampa has also signed Dan Boyle to a 6/40 contract (cap hit of 6.66). Keep your head up in the locker room, Danny.
the pinjockey Posted February 26, 2008 Report Posted February 26, 2008 Can't complain about getting Prospal for a song. Certainly don't think he is going to continue the production he had in TB, but they needed a forward with the ability to actually score a goal. Not huge on getting rentals for this season, but again for peanuts there is nothing to hurt the long term.
the max Posted February 26, 2008 Report Posted February 26, 2008 Prospal seems to only perform well with good/great players. He sucked in Anaheim that one year before he came back to Tampa and latched himself onto the Lecavalier/Richards/St. Louis teat. Maybe he can help rejuvenate Briere or something.
LaParkaMarka Posted February 26, 2008 Report Posted February 26, 2008 Isn't Prospal a center? So is Briere. I guess Vinny takes over the second line with Richards injured.
Guest Posted February 26, 2008 Report Posted February 26, 2008 Rob Blake is willing to waive his NTC so that he can go to San Jose or Colorado. I don't have any problem with that at all, getting anything for any of these players that need to be dealt is good enough. The problem is, there's so much trash on this team that you really can't say anything but NHL-ready prospects or proven roster players are good enough.
LaParkaMarka Posted February 26, 2008 Report Posted February 26, 2008 You might be able to swindle a good young player like Bernier or Setoguchi out of SJ. That could be a great haul.
CanadianChris Posted February 26, 2008 Report Posted February 26, 2008 Leafs 5, Senators 0. What. The. FUCK.
the max Posted February 26, 2008 Report Posted February 26, 2008 Isn't Prospal a center? So is Briere. I guess Vinny takes over the second line with Richards injured. Prospal's an LW by trade, but has been known to play center every now and then. Where did you read that Richards is injured? I googled it and got results from earlier this year. And the Bolts haven't played since the Bruins beat them on Saturday.
the pinjockey Posted February 26, 2008 Report Posted February 26, 2008 I think he meant Prospal takes over the Flyers second line with Mike Richards injured. I can't see that being the case though. IMO this trade is pointless unless you attach him to Briere's hip. They aren't going anywhere if Danny doesn't start chipping in something and playing with a new winger every game is not going to help the cause.

Ah...I read it as Vinny (Lecavalier) taking over for (Brad) Richards. My mistake.
CanadianGuitarist Posted February 26, 2008 Report Posted February 26, 2008 Belak to the Panthers for a sixth-round pick.
CanadianChris Posted February 26, 2008 Report Posted February 26, 2008 Sabres traded Brian Campbell to the Sharks. No specifics yet. EDIT: Sabres get Steve Bernier and a first-round pick.
CanadianChris Posted February 26, 2008 Report Posted February 26, 2008 Double post, so I'll add that the Devils sent Cam Janssen to St. Louis for Bryce Salvador.
CanadianGuitarist Posted February 26, 2008 Report Posted February 26, 2008 CC beat me to it. I'd like the Campbell deal if I was a Sabres fan. It's believed Brad Richards has been traded to Dallas.
CanadianChris Posted February 26, 2008 Report Posted February 26, 2008 The problem is that it severely undercuts the Sabres' chances of making the playoffs this year. If they can get to the playoffs, Ryan Miller gives them a shot in any series they play.
CanadianGuitarist Posted February 26, 2008 Report Posted February 26, 2008 Agreed, but they're close enough that it doesn't say "We're packing it in." I like Bernier, and the loss of Campbell is obviously big, but I think there's still enough pieces in place for the Sabres to get into the show. Pierre McGuire is being coy about it (fuck, I hate him), but "The Habs wish might come true in the next few minutes." Also, the Richards deal has been finalized; He's in Dallas with Johan Homlqvist, for Mike Smith, Jeff Halpern, and Jussi Jokinen. Since I'm sure you were all wondering, I got obscenely drunk last night, facilitating the hangover I'm currently suffering, allowing me to stay home.
CanadianChris Posted February 26, 2008 Report Posted February 26, 2008 Wow, the Lightning sure got full value for Richards, didn't they? Mike Smith alone makes that a good deal for Tampa.
CanadianChris Posted February 26, 2008 Report Posted February 26, 2008 Since I'm sure you were all wondering, I got obscenely drunk last night, facilitating the hangover I'm currently suffering, allowing me to stay home. Solid plan.
The Ghost of bps21 Posted February 26, 2008 Report Posted February 26, 2008 I'm a Sabres fan...and I love Campbell...but when your clearly not resigning a guy (and I can't say I totally blame them either...he's set to make a fortune and they have to resign Miller)... I'm just glad we didn't trade for a group of unproven prospects like I thought we were going to. Bernier gives the team a dynamic that they haven't had. It frees up money, which is key. Of course now we have no one to carry the puck in...
CanadianChris Posted February 26, 2008 Report Posted February 26, 2008 Cristobal Huet to the Capitals for a second round pick. The Habs must be clearing cap space for something big like Marian Hossa.
CanadianGuitarist Posted February 26, 2008 Report Posted February 26, 2008 It'll be worth it in the end. My boss is a Habs fan, he understands. Cristobal Huwhatever has been traded to the Caps for a second-round pick. I like that they're giving Price the reins, but I'd have liked a little more in return.
CanadianChris Posted February 26, 2008 Report Posted February 26, 2008 Is it pathetic that I'm absolutely praying that the Sens manage to swing a deal for Dwayne Roloson?
CanadianGuitarist Posted February 26, 2008 Report Posted February 26, 2008 How much does Hossa make? At the risk of being very Don Cherry, I'd much rather get Tanguay than Hossa. Obviously, that's not likely to happen at this point.
CanadianGuitarist Posted February 26, 2008 Report Posted February 26, 2008 Is it pathetic that I'm absolutely praying that the Sens manage to swing a deal for Dwayne Roloson? No. It worked out alright for Edmonton two years ago. Bob 'Big Head' McKenzie said rumours were flying that it would be Emery to Chicago for Khabibulin.
CanadianChris Posted February 26, 2008 Report Posted February 26, 2008 Hossa makes seven million. I heard on the radio this morning that Tanguay's not going anywhere.
CanadianGuitarist Posted February 26, 2008 Report Posted February 26, 2008 Hossa makes seven million. I heard on the radio this morning that Tanguay's not going anywhere. SEVEN? That's too much; I guess it's fine if it's a rental player. Sutter announced the Tanguay thing last night at some point, yeah. Text from my buddy, a Sens fan, just now: "Emery needs to go."
CanadianChris Posted February 26, 2008 Report Posted February 26, 2008 Is it pathetic that I'm absolutely praying that the Sens manage to swing a deal for Dwayne Roloson? No. It worked out alright for Edmonton two years ago. Bob 'Big Head' McKenzie said rumours were flying that it would be Emery to Chicago for Khabibulin. No. Maybe the Khabibulin of ten years ago, but he's still in the league on reputation alone at this point.
CanadianChris Posted February 26, 2008 Report Posted February 26, 2008 Hossa makes seven million. I heard on the radio this morning that Tanguay's not going anywhere. SEVEN? That's too much; I guess it's fine if it's a rental player. Yeah, that's why the Sens now employ Dany Heatley and not Hossa.
