Did they say they were talking to Gillis or a relative of his?

Here's why this is likely (some or all) b.s.:

1) If the Hawks dealt for Lu, Crawford (+) would almost have to go the other way for cap reasons alone.
2) Does anyone on the planet still think Mike Gillis has any leverage in this?
3) The Hawks aren't dealing Sharp for Lu.

So it is Toews that we are getting, right on.

Flyers and Caps are the frontrunners for LU-lapoluza

Someone on twitter said , Sam Gagner to Vancouver for Lu because Dave Gagner is with the Canucks ,connect the dots. I asked if we could trade Dave Gagner instead for Joey Moss.

Remember when Burke puffed out his chest and said he wouldn't of made the Bure trade without getting back Gagner..........oh ya and Kevin Weekes was the goalie of the future.
The memories!!!

As much of a fan of Joey as I am, Gagner was instrumental in causing the rift that got rid of that locker room cancer Cody Hodgson.

Back to the simple days. The days when talking about Swedish Twins meant you had a good porno for the weekend.

I'm saying 3 straight wins and Kassian after scoring the winner tonight will skate across the ice and swan dive from blue line to blue line in celebration.

Score the winner...you crack me up you big silly.

You know what Fosc , as inviting as it seems I, would pass. I think OVie was overpaid by 3 million last year and it does not looks look better this year . His game seems to be dropping off and at 9.5 per I think Cap fans will be booing in 4 years.

Just to clarify: If Gillis gets the opportunity to dump Ballard and trade Luongo for Ovechkin +, you're not on board?

WHAT IN THE (frank) KIND OF TRADE ARE YOU WAITING FOR???

That's my pick for the win. We will treat LA like a little red-headed step-brother who is slightly retarded.
