The Pittsburgh... Canucks rumour is exactly what we want for Vanek.

Sutter, 1st, and 3rd, plus Despres for Kesler.

Throw in a second next year and we can include AMac.

Kesler's signed for two more years though.

Would Phoenix accept Grabner for Stone straight up.

Not enough for Grabs, plus Stone is a bottom Dman, would want someone else or more needed into trade.

Obviously, I'm a pretty big fan of Grabner, so I'll admit my bias, but I consider him an asset to the team, so to trade him, a team would have to really make it worth our while. I'm not by any means saying he's untouchable, but if he's traded, I'd like it to be the opinion of most that some team overpaid a little for him.

I agree with this.

Yea... but something along those lines would be great.

NHL player, 1st, maybe a prospect...

3 big games coming up...

Florida, Calgary, Edmonton.

Need regulation losses in those....

#ISLES TRANSACTIONS: Mike Halmo has been returned to @TheSoundTigers. Frans Nielsen has been removed from IR - http://nyisl.es/u9l2j

Edit...almost would rather see Halmo take McD's spot for a little while.

My guess is Halmo was playing too hard and Physical

Halmo did not fit in with the country club.

Sutter is RFA so Van has control, Vanek walks....

Grabs had that 1 big year, hasn't been consistent enough for me. Personally hope he gets his game back but I ultimately think he will get dealt only bc of his inconsistencies of burying the 100 breakaways and netting 1.
Now I wont trade him just for trade sake, I believe Snow will move him for something of worth.

if we got sutter and a 1st for Vanek I'd be happy....

They'll probably scratch Lee when Martin comes back. I don't mean that in my typical sarcastic exaggerations either...Cappy's M.O. is to scratch the new guys first regardless of how they're playing versus the "more established" alternatives.

I love how Cappy rewards the Vets on a team that is lousy and won nothing.

We are not trading Vanek to Vancouver???

Newest rumour I have heard today... AMac to be resigned to a 25 million/5 year deal.

Might be done by tomorrow night.

Guess this means that unless Martin is ready to come back there's no Vanek trade imminent.

Very likely. I think Isles wanted Girardi since hes capable of playing 30 minutes a night. Now that hes gone UFA is very thin this year.

Probably comes down to Isles have very little confidence in being able to sign any of the FA dmen. Still do not want Amac back.

If this is true it would prove just how incompetent Snow is. The guy would have a hard time cracking just about any teams line up. He's terrible. I'd probably take a break from this team until competent management took over. It's at that point for me.

I'll take Mayfield and his size playing over Amac right now. You can take that 5 mill and put it towards another dman or Hiller in goal.

If this ends up happening, just proves the lack of respect Snow & this organization receives....
Plus I'll be done and realize that until new ownership is installed, this circus will continue even into Brooklyn....
