He's great

I have to assume that you are related?

Bold prediction: 3 years/14 M$
- Habsody

For Markov?

Expect 3yrs at 16 or 17M (6+6+4 or 5)

sell. they blow.

One D will be traded tomorrow. My guess it's Bouillon for a 5th.

To Florida?

At least I think.

Also I guess Luongo isn't untradeable.

He wouldn't be claimed on waivers.

I thought Klesla was decent?

I don't think they blow. I just don't think they're an actual contender yet.

They are not a very exciting team and the regular season success can only be followed by playoff failure with the make up of the team. On a positive note, they do have a pretty decent core moving forward and yes, the future looks promising.

15% salary kept by Vancouver made it work

Man, when did Erat get such a good rep to keep getting dealt for quality?

That's weird.

Honestly, if it's a 2 year, $12M deal, I'd be 100% fine with 3 years, 14M
- muffin_man

You really think he's playing in 3 years? You certain he's still playing in 2?

yep. the guy's earned it. he'll get it somewhere else and play great.

- mr.peanut

You have the same sharp wit and ability to get under people's skin.

I don't know, guess we'll have to wait for the former Yotes blogger analysis of the trade

You can never have enough overpaid 40 point per season players on your team.

I thought Klesla was decent?
- kev1586

I believe he was a healthy scratch at some point this year...but Erat is the european version of Bourque, while a bit faster.

I don't think Bergevin has had a choice but to be patient.

Rangers had interest but were informed today that Ryan Kesler will not waive no-trade to come to New York, Post has learned.

Any bets Torterella is his source?

He wouldn't be claimed on waivers.

Bouillon says it's him or Markov!

In the regular season?
- habby

sure, why not?
