They're also terrific together on the ice...
- Tomahawk

Where do they rank among Getzlaf and Perry status in terms of being best friends and terrific on the ice together?

Yeah, they would; they can afford that and aren't so draconian that it would irritate them. If it gets to $4-5 million and a first-round pick is in play...I'm just a guy on a laptop but I would believe they might let him walk and take the compensation
- AllInForFlyers

it would depend on the team making the offer. If it was the Oilers, I think they'd let him walk.

Like schenn and VL. I just used the rewind button to watch some tape.

Brayden Schenn and Vincent Lecavalier are best friends?

Tbh, I just want him at center and away from VL. He's shown to be a pretty good player when he's given those accommodations.
- PhillySportsGuy

Yeah, they've done all they can to put him in a position to succeed usage-wise, but they've done the opposite in terms of linemates.

For an Oilers first-rounder in 2015, I'd pack Schenn's poop myself and drive him to Alberta

Report: Phillies accidentally traded prospect in 2011 Hunter Pence deal

At this writing, Astros outfield prospect Domingo Santana is batting .297/.374/.493 as a 21-year-old in Triple-A. That good production comes after a 2013 campaign in which he slugged .498 with 25 homers as a 20-year-old in Double-A. In other words, Santana is becoming a potentially important part of Houston's rebuild.

The Astros acquired Santana as part of the 2011 trade in which they sent Hunter Pence to the Phillies. Houston also landed Jon Singleton and Jarred Cosart in that same deal. So it's turning out being pretty costly for the Phils and GM Ruben Amaro.

Why are we talking about this trade almost three years later? Well, here's this most interesting recent nugget from Jose de Jesus Ortiz of the Houston Chronicle ...

Less than two months after they picked George Springer from the University of Connecticut, the Astros sent Pence and cash to the Phillies on July 29, 2011, for Cosart, Singleton, Zeid and a player to be named, which ended up being Santana. In spring training, a Phillies official admitted that Santana wasn't actually supposed to be on the list that was given to the Astros to pick from to satisfy the final piece on Aug. 15, 2011.

Woof. So, by virtue of front-office oversight or clerical error or a game of telephone, Santana wound up on the list of players from which the Astros could choose the final piece of their haul. As Ortiz writes, he wasn't supposed to be on that list. He was, subsequently and wisely, chosen by the Astros. That's ... remarkable.

The Phillies, you see, are quite possibly not a well run organization these days.

The whole point of my post was to get schenn without giving up the oilers 2015 1st

Schenn would be a nice piece to add if we move gagner but schenn wouldn't make us drastically better to risk that 1st.

An OS wouldn't make sense then. Be much more reasonable to work out a trade.

Ha! Yeah, but you guys aren't fooling anyone. Your team underachieved with that maniac on the bench and the most clueless GM in modern times upstairs.
