  1. Ok… I'm willing to go down this rabbit hole because it is that time of year and that time of night. I've also had a couple of drinks.

    Would you do:

    Malkin

    Pouliot

    for

    Kesler

    Edler

    Shinkaruk

    Vancouver gets the dynamic offensive element we need,

    Pittsburgh gets the help on D and a true 2nd line centre with a F prospect because they already have many D prospects.

    I wouldn't. Think of it like the Lindros trade.

    Philli got the better player sure.

    but the Nords/Avs got many quality players and a couple of cups from the depth they garnered from it all

    Better served trading them seperately, depth wins championships.

    Horvat - Malkin - Kassian

    Daniel - Henrik - Burrows

    Gaunce - Matthias - Higgins

    ______ - Richardson - Hansen

    Sestito, Jensen

    Hamhuis - Tanev

    Garrison - Diaz

    Stanton - Bieksa

    Corrado

    Lack

    Markstrom

    Sounds like some pretty good depth to me. It's too bad it'll take more to land Malkin alone though.

  2. With Martin out for 4-6 weeks and Niskanen being a UFA at the end of the season, would Pittsburgh consider trading for Edler? I would love to see James Neal in a Canuck Jersey. He is a big body with a great, quick-release shot and knows where to go to score goals. At the moment he is scoring at an incredible pace but Pittsburgh is so good offensively that I think they can afford to lose him. I would go Edler, Schroeder, and a pick for Neal.

    He may not be our "saviour" for this year but next year we'd have a pretty good top 9:

    Daniel - Henrik - Kassian

    Horvat - Kesler - Neal

    Burrows - Gaunce - Hansen

  3. Well, if he gets two great linemates like Lucic and scores 3 more goals they are tied. He scored the same number as Lucic last year. Then toss him in the weak East and voila.

    Lucic also has nearly 100 more hits than Kassian. Zack needs to step it up in the physicality department.

  4. Edler for O'Reilly please. Heck, I'd do an Edler + Schroeder or a 2nd to seal it.

    O'Reilly is exactly what we need, and if we can lock him up for a 6 x 6 type of deal then we'd be gold! So what if it's a steep qualifying offer or contract, we desperately need a top line talent and O'Reilly fits the bill exactly. He's skilled enough to create a formidable 2nd line and young enough to grow with Kassian, Gaunce, Horvat, Shinkaruk et al.

    Do it, MG!
