I think thats a great starting point. Anything more then Schenn and a 2nd round pick would be over paying IMO.

You know that 2nd round pick is burning a hole in Homer's pocket. He's been dieing to send it somewhere since the season started.

Rinaldo, McCrossin, and a 2nd for new ice girls

Large, xtra sauce (because no one puts enough sauce on pizza and without sauce it isn't a pizza "pie"), mushrooms, onions, sweet peppers & salami. I'll throw in Lilia, he can drive it over.

who would yall give up for PK?
- Crimsoninja

Jake and a 1st. And not a penny more.

I'm not keen on giving up B Schenn or Read in any deal for PK.

Think of it from Montreal's view.

PK is more proven than Schenn, and potential #1 d-men dont come around too often.

Most Id go would be Schenn and Read or Voracek.

I like both (Jake and Matt) but guys like that do come around hell of a lot more often.

He's not so proven to include Read or Voracek in addition to B Schenn. That's too much in my opinion.

Need the current players to step up. The offense doesn't have as much depth as people think.

Habs are playing and he isn't. I'm sure they're at the very least listening.

I bet you'd be surprised at how he stacks up all time in playoff stats. He's got a couple bad games on his resume that over shadow a lot of great games that he stole for Vancouver.
- mayorofangrytown


I'll take your word for it. I barely have time to follow Philly. I don't see much western conf. play. I am going on reputation and what went down in that series vs. Boston where is mental toughness came into question. If a goalie is going to have mental issues, I like them to be in the same vein as this guys:

He's not a bonafid star. He's a player who hasn't shown that he has the attitude to make it big and stay big.

I can't stand players who sit out and make the team suffer to get more money. Money that i feel he doesn't deserve.

That's the highest I'd be willing to go. Even then that's probably not the best offer they get should they decide to shop him.

Add to th fact that subbans 21 goals mostly came from the powerplay.. (14)...

We don't use our dmen, or even try to set them up like montreal does. I think its a terrible fit.

For the right player i wouldn't care. But i don't give up a player i'm big on for him.

I wonder what jakes trade value is... i wish their was a bar under his name like in NHL13.. you know the bar that has no baring what so ever.. because you didn't take the time to look at their surplus.

God i hate trading in that game.

No one yet. It's been two games, I'm not ready to trade anyone away. If, 15 games from now, we're seeing the same problems defensively, then I'd entertain the idea. Just mho.

Toronto Maple Leafs coach Randy Carlyle says there's some things James van Riemsdyk needs to change and he will 'make sure' JVR is aware of those changes. Van Riemsdyk was the prize offseason acquisition of since-fired GM Brian Burke and the Leafs need JVR to finally deliver on his massive potential. Carlyle, for one, wants him to use his 6-foot-3 frame in front of the net. "That’s one of things we are going to ask him," Carlyle said. "He is a big man who can go to the front of the net. He has soft hands around the net, we want to see him drive the puck that area, push people off the puck."

So basically Carlyle wants him to do what a lot of us were saying he should do...but he never could consistently do. Much like Carter, JVR was good when he played with some aggression and grit and forgot about his disdain for getting dirty. Unfortunately with both of them, they always seemed to remember their disdain. I like JVR (and Carter) and I hope they both develop but I don't see either of them ever playing with grit on a consistent basis. Good luck wit dat Randy.

We could really use a blueliner that can score 21 goals, powerplay or otherwise.

Probably make as much there as the Habs supposedly want to pay him. They're lowballing him badly. A fair price for him on a longer term deal is around $4mm. They're offering $2.75mm.

I still can't understand a team making that kind of offer and expecting the player not to have hard feelings or be a tough negotiation.

You have to get him the puck though. If we would be willing to change our powerplay to get guys out of the shooting lane for the dmen i'd be all for it.

Montreals pp is a lot different then ours.

With that said, we def need 21 goals on the back end for sure.
