whats minor? whats major?

 

[BuckeyeR0B]

Minor or major move? I would love to see Denis go for someone who could help put some goals on the board.

I agree with you the question is who we going to go out and get

 

[jimotis4heisman]

as of now denis is not on the block, but the deals are starting to sweeten up...

more than 7 figures of salary will be pushed out of columbus...

 

[CrabMan]

Major is someone who can come in and make a difference, not a 3rd or 4th line D.

Come on, JO, spill the beans. It wouldn't surprise me to see Richardson go...

 

[jimotis4heisman]

i cant, not even for you and the gkids....

but the deals for denis are at or above what i would expect already. i would expect all the deals to go down in the last 24-36 hours before the deadline.

There's been talk about Sean Avery from the Kings although I don't see it happening.

Damn you.... Maybe you can share after the deadline?

Do you think a deal for Denis will happen? If we can slide Prusek through waivers, he'd be a nice backup.

 

[jimotis4heisman]

these guys are FA's to some extent...vyborny is a rfa
while this doesnt really give anything away you can see something that may help you see what could but pushed out.

marty prusek cleared waivers the first time. if he is put on waivers again he can be snapped up at half price. no doubt he would be.

I can definitely see Richardson and/or Hrdina go
Hulse is already gone
Delmore is in the minors
Suchy, Malhotra and Vybs would seem to be long shots to go
Letowski possibly

 

[jimotis4heisman]

now think about teams in the hunt for the cup and those fighting around the 8th spot in both the east and west and as sherlock i believe says "it's elementary watson"

 

[CrabMan]

The problem with that list is that nobody except Vybs will bring anyone of value. Denis would bring quality in return and LeClair is ready to be the number one tender...

I would agree about Hrdina, I don't think there is much value to Richardson due to his age. I would think Vyborny would be a lock to stick around here, but his value may never be higher than it is right now. I think Malhotra is a guy you keep just because of his effort. He fits well on his line, but I would have expected a little more offensive production out of him. I really don't see anyone on the list who would bring in 1st or second line talent except Vyborny. Plus, if they are trying to clear $ I don't think there is any way they could bring in a top liner and still make cap room.

If Berard was healty I could see them moving him.

 

[jimotis4heisman]

it will be a move towards the "future"

Same old, same old then. Hopefully "future" means someone already in the league that hasn't had time to develop yet and not a draft pick.
