They will want a ton for him. I don't think they move him unless it's an overpayment.
- PhillySportsGuy

They can't move him both for financial and PR reasons, not to mention that he should have won the Norris last year.

Okay...?

Hang on this is not just a good draft because of McDavid. There are kids outside the top 10 rankings this coming year who might have been in the running for #1 this year based on their skill set. The draft may go 60 players deep with superior talent, players projected to probably play in the NHL.

This is the year to fail and acquire picks and prospects.
- spatso

Yes there may be talent in the draft but the two franchise players are McDavid and Eichel. And if I am selling my horse for picks I want one of those franchise guys to change the franchise around. I don't want a team to tell me we traded our Norris caliber dmen for prospects in the draft that we aren't sure will work

Okay...?

Oh, thank God, thought you were going the other way. That city loves that hockey team (or the Detroit/Chicago transplants love to hate them) much more than most people think. They just go, "It's Nashville, it's the South, no one there likes hockey," without looking at attendance numbers or actually going there. I was pleasantly surprised to see how much they support them.

Alexander Daigle is a can't-miss surefire superstar.

Eric Lindros is worth Forsberg +

Reilly Smith is a nice player, but he's not likely ever going to be as good as Seguin. What assets will they get back for Ericksson?
People are questioning the deal because the Bruins gave up a star player because they lost patience with his immaturity. Now they got in deep having to overpay Iginla with bonuses that resulted in a huge overage, and are searching for a winger to play with Krecji. It's not looking like a good trade for the Bruins
- MJL

So because Peter Chiarelli mismanaged his cap, the trade was bad? Was Seguin a star player after scoring 32 points in 48 games and one goal in 22 playoff games, which was when they traded him?

Maybe they pulled the trigger early, but again, where were the "Bruins looking bad in Seguin deal" when they were 54-19-3 this season?

Or when they were third in the NHL in goals scored and second in goals allowed?

It's not Smith or Eriksson's fault that Boston is looking for a winger. It's revisionist history to look at what the B's accomplished without Seguin and say, "oh, my gosh, they sure missed him!"

They didn't. At all.

I know what your saying. I guess what I am saying is that I don't trade my number one dman for the unknown. I just think Weber is the one guy you build around. Not use to build your prospect pool. He is the guy you can't replace in my opinion. Once he is gone then your back looking for him again. That's my opinion. I would rather have Weber and use other players to try and get picks with other players.

That's exactly what I'm saying. You've got a known good who's been a top defenseman for years (and doesn't look to be slowing down any time soon). So why would you give him up for guys who are unknowns at this level?

Yeah. I don't want to move him. Also how many of these deals actually work out. How many get the prospects they want and they turn out.

Just remember that defenseman-heavy draft is 2008. Thank God we got Luke Schenn from Toronto and Winnipeg got Bogosian. Those guys are legit cornerstone players.

It's rare to see both teams walk away happy in those kinds of deals when all is said and done... historically, the results seem to heavily skew in one direction or another.

I would not hesitate to trade Weber to San Jose for Couture, Hertl and a first.

I would trade him to Colorado for ROR, a first, and 2 prospects.

I would trade him to Boston for Seguin, Hamilton and a 2nd. Oops somebody already did that.

I think Schenn kind of got put in a tough spot. He was billed as the next Adam Foote and played at 18 and was expected to shoulder a lot. I think he needs to be more consistant but i have seen flashs of a guy who can be a top 4 dman. Bogosian is kind of in the same spot and it is not like Atlanta/Winnipeg have done him any favors.

I agree. Boston did fine without him. They looked like the favorite from the east to make the stanely cup finals I would say.

Luke Schenn might still be the next Adam Foote... it's just too bad Adam Foote wouldn't be a top-4 defenseman in the post-2008 NHL.

The GMs for San Jose and Colorado would drive those players to Nashville personally.

And that Colorado deal is funny with the 2 unnamed prospects (7th rounders count as prospects), but I guess a prospect is a prospect is a prospect, no matter whether it's Merrick Madsen or Anthony Stolarz or Shayne Gostisbehere.

They will now. They'll miss both Iginla and Seguin now.

Wouldn't be surprised to see Soderberg score 30-goals and they don't miss a beat, and one of Spooner/Khokhlachev become the next Krejci. Their depth has always been their strength, not their top-end star power.

It's odd how it's assumed that Tyler Seguin is going to keep playing well and not be an issue off the ice, which was what got him dealt in the first place, but Eriksson or Smith won't get even better, or Fraser will develop.

Character is a funny thing. Some guys grow up, fly straight. Some guys fake it for a season to prove a team wrong...and can't sustain it.

We'll see what Tyler Seguin's true character is, going forward. We'll see what the B's do, going forward.

But personally? They're gonna find a winger. And they're gonna be just fine until Chara's play slips, not because Tyler Seguin's gone.
