  1. anyone got audio of torts saying lack is the better goalie, or just a statement in regards to lack starting tomorrow?
  2. gold medal winning goalie, stanley cup final gam 7 with 2 so. Team leader in most if not all goalie stats. Having a solid year, trying to make a push for the post season, and we are sitting Luongo? Why on earth would we do this? Is this decision all Torts or does MG have any input. Personally Lu should just refuse to play, and get his contract void, this is becoming a disgrace to see Lu being handled in this matter.
  3. very surprised Lu isnt starting. Who is going to say its due to jet leg still now...
  4. edler for simmonds/b schenn? 1 for 1. gives philly long term solution for top 4 d man
  5. dont think we could get schenn and simmonds for kesler, would have to add(hansen), but i would like to try get both. sedins simmonds higgins schenn kassian booth schroeder burrows(has had 30games to produce time for him to drop out of top 6 for now) sestito richardson dalpe
  6. if montreal is interested galchenyuk has to be involved. Would Dubinksy be a nice return as he could play a role like Kesler, just not as high quality of a player. Dubinsky, Jenner, Erixon and Conditional 2015 1st if Columbus makes playoffs this year, if not its a 2015 2nd for kesler roster player in utica or prospect under contract
  7. why are people even talking about this made up story. If the poster doesnt upload an immediate photo, or video and its not on the internet when you search it. Drop it, This is for hockey discussions not for some person to get a luagh out of ppl who bring it up. Its been noted Kesler hurt some part on his hand during the Russian game in Sochi
  8. Does kesler have an issue with AV, or is that a rumour? Thought he played for him with the moose aswell. Stepan,miller and mcilrath for Kesler?
  9. 5 days of jet legged seems like a bit much. Other teams players ahve played a couple games already. Lack played great, but arent you suppose to role with the #1 on the last 21 game push for the playoffs, regardless of what the backup does?
  10. oh yes trading them seperately is the right move. Gillis could do both now or at the draft. If he does and he gets a solid return, I would definitely have to give him credit and take back firing him. But if he stays the course and doesnt move these assets while they have their best value, we could go down the road of having to do a full rebuild and take less back and hope draft picks turn out. where i would prefer moving them now and getting back players that can play now. kesler is our version now of Linden. No one wanted him gone, but look at the return we got and how it helped us down the road greatly. This is why i would be ok trading Kesler, if we netted a good package
  11. yes and no, they are signed longterm at a good cap hit. Both players were good, now they are still valuable but not the same player. I think it would be hard to get both from philly in a deal. Lets make it Holmgren-esque Kesler, Edler for Schenns, Simmonds pick/hagg/prospect
  12. if we could get that i would be happy. id even add something to make it happen, nothing huge though. Thats 1 top 6 forward who is almost 30 for 2 young guys who are both top 6 guys now. Thats the kind of value we need back, not brandon sutter. Pouliot would be nice, but not as a main piece for kesler. edler is a different story
  13. we dont want an older brittle player signed for a long time in Franzen. we move kesler for a guy younger than him who can play now
  14. both players edler and kesler. If and when either or both get moved. We need to address our top 6. Maybe a D prospect in one of the deals. but gettting 2 forwards who can play now would be a higher priority imo
  15. both of you have your opinion, im no mod, but i would think if this conversation doesnt go to private messages one or both could be suspended from the forum. just want to talk hockey, time for ppl to let it go or continue it in another way. Warhippy: i can see why you took your stance, but no point going on as it seems like you wont get anywhere by doing so. Just how some people are, cant do anything about it. still dont see us at all interested in a sutter trade. maybe jokinen,bennett and pouliot. jokinen is a decent player, wanted us to get him for a measely pick last deadline
  16. you just dont want to let this go eh. theres a time to let things go obviously you would rather continue this. Maybe i over reacted, but in the same way it can be offensive to ppl who know someone who has had that happen to someone they know. but hey keep on saying things about me, cuz you know me so well...
  17. we need quality coming back, i dont want quantity or picks we have to wait for to make an impact. Rattie may be ready next year, schwartz is now. If the blues want a Cup, they wouldnt hesitate to make a deal like this. Kesler gives them a great 1-2 punch down the middle. Probably one of the hardest tandems down the middle for teams to face. Both are physical and like to hit. Stewart is for cap reasons, maybe it could be berglund instead? THink berglund halak/elliot and maybe a pick could get them Miller. Adding Miller and Kesler would really improve their team.
  18. neither the GM nor Player has yet to come out and deny the rumour. Would think if it was false one of them would have denied it last night, maybe this morning?\ If the blues want kesler they need to move schwartz to get us interested Schwartz,Stewart,Rattie Still leaves the blues with Backes Kesler Roy Berglund Lappy Sobotka still lots of C depth their. Berglund is a great 3rd line center, they are using him on the wing now. Shinkaruk Schwartz Kassian Jensen Horvat Rattie Decent future top 6 Couturier and simmonds, or B.schenn plus (hagg, mcginn) Jenner plus (rychel, anisimov, 1st rounder) Nyquist plus(jurco,sproul,pulkinnen) Strome plus(martin,pulock) Stepan plus(mcilrath) jt miller? Turris plus(wiercoch,stone) Kucherov plus(connolly,panik,palat,purcell) The ''PLus'' would vary with the above players. I wouldnt mind seeing Stepan coming here, good history with torts. Not sure what else we could get. We wont trade kesler in our division, we didnt move schneids, cant see us help anaheim. lots of options, with decent returns possible, problem is have we scouted enough to make a big trade like this and known what we would potentially be getting in return? Could be better to wait till the draft? But if these rumours dont get squashed, its going to be a big distraction to the team, media will be all over it, we just went through it with the goalies dont want this happening again
  19. columbus wont move johansen, jenner maybe. johansen has been on fire leading up to the olympic break. maybe last summer we could have got him before his breakout.
  20. sounds right, he can play as he did play 4 games at the olympics. If he would just squash the rumours right away this would quiet down, the more time goes without kesler releasing a statement the more it becomes more of a possibility
  21. if its fake, kesler could grab his phone and squash all this by tweeting, i did not request a trade. seems simple enough to do
  22. ok then, guess when someone you know gets raped just say well all that really happened is... and see how ppl would react to you saying that
