Blackberries Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 Eklund said phillys not in. And apparently Eklund has a good source in philly and he was actually correct in calling the Richards and Carter trades. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeNiro Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 I'd like to do that too but I can't see philly giving up one of their young studs for one year of Edler. They'd be in the same situation as us. I'd expect it to be Luongo alone or maybe one other small piece. The bigger the proposal the less realistic IMO.

FoNZ87 Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 Have no idea why Dallas isnt rumoured to be atleast offering up some sort of package with their horrific goaltending situation. Also, WTF is their problem not resigning Jamie Benn, an absolutely monster. pay the kid whatever he is demanding. Dream scenerio is prying that kid to vancouver somehow. Toronto seems like a reasonable destination. As long as one of Tyler Biggs or Jake Gardiner is included in a package otherwise they can absolutely frack off. Kadri cant even crack their big club, Bozak is decent depth player for the vancouver roster. Florida - reasonable destination, if im MG I want one of huberdeau/Bjugstad/ or that dmen prospect. Chicago seems highly unlikely but omg the rivalry would be just so incredible. Philly - highly unlikely just because of bryz and $ it does not work. Goaltending is extremely important and Im sure Gillis will play this perfectly however it ends up transpiring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zombieksa Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 I think Philly is desperate for a D-man with Pronger likely done, and Mezaros injured. Their window is now too. Sure they've got younger players so it will be open longer, but they have a chance to win now. They need that top pairing D-man. And with Pronger's injury likely being career ending, they have enough cap space to throw whatever money Edler wants at him to re-sign him.

ccc44 Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 Yea, I meant to. Luongo Edler for B.Schenn L.Schenn Grossman That seems to be the most popular package. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nuxfanabroad Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 What if outa' the gate some others like Wash, or TBay find their young 'tenders flop? Or 1 or 2 others get some groin issues, etc...? Meanwhile, both Van 'tenders get time, & both play very well. Yeah, it could go the other way-but this possibility seems more likely. Gillis could end up selling high to a very desperate GM. He'll be cruisin' the beach in a lambourghini. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeNiro Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 That's true, but we're in win now mode too. I don't think it would be a good idea to trade Edler for a lesser player at this point, unless it was a small difference, but then it probably wouldn't make sense for Philly.

zombieksa Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 God, I love this, it makes me feel alive after 8 months of nothing. The bloggers are completely lost, none of them have any idea what to think at this point. They are obviously taking everything with a grain of salt though. More so than us anyways.

Millerdraft Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 It is a ridiculous rumour but that's the beauty of trade rumours (most trade details aren't leaked before the actual deal goes through). Grossman is choice #1 and Brayden Schenn is the fall back option #2? That sentence in itself makes zero sense but it was a fun little discussion nonetheless.

Trebreh Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 give em Raymond and a bottle of crown royal just for being a swell trading partner.. I'd lose it, forget about the lockout and buy double schenn jerseys if that went down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ossi Vaananen Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 Lol, I can't believe you people putting weight on Eklund's tweets. I guess I'll go back to scrolling through these posts, as clearly anyone who believes that clown is not worth reading. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
