Not sure. But I think you could do better. I don't know. But if I am trading in division to rival I am wanting more. Not sure trading Pouliet would be wise with Erholf out

i agree moving pouliot would hurt. especially with ehrhoff/maatta out.

and another first gone would really suck.

and whatever else they extracted.

i do think thats a lot to send out, but you have to give to get. especially within the division. good trades have to sting as much as they get you excited.

Wayne may be the best bargain in the NHL given his production + cap hit

It would require a massive over-payment for me. Pens are an absolute no regardless of who they offer. You don't trade a player like that in division.

Really, you don't trade players like Wayne Simmonds at all. I'm not even considering it unless an absolutely ridiculous offer comes my way.

Just as an example, say its the Oilers; deal STARTS with Yakupov. Period. You just don't trade players like Simmonds....

i know yak has all the potential and yada yada. i get that. not totally screaming bust from the roof tops with him.

but yeah, im with you there. if its yakupov, and im the flyers, the oilers better keep talking.

god (frank)ing damn it.

i could see yandle being moved, but OEL?

to get him should make the gut spilling im offering for simmonds look like foreplay.

Their asking price for Yandle was crazy high iirc. I can only imagine what they would be asking for for OEL.

I think Maloney is on drugs. OEL should replace Doan.

That's because he has a no trade and hasn't said he would go anywhere. To get OEL it will take a massive package. Couturier, 2015 1st rounder, Morin/Ghostisbeiere/Sanheim.

Buffalo GM recently said he'd be willing to move his two late 2015 1st-rounders... wonder if Hexy's got anything they're looking for.

Pouliot looks like a cost-controlled Keith Yandle ready to step in right away.

We've got a former 1st overall pick, Stanley Cup winner, with over 400 goals and 900 points.

I figure we'd cut them a break and settle for just one of their first rounders for him.

I would drop the lotto pick and a player not named G or Jake for OEL in a heartbeat.

Problem is he's already asking the moon for Yandle. What the hell will he ask for OEL?

If we are talking about trading Simmer, I would need either Trouba or Jones in return.

I wonder if the Flyers know internally what Timonen's wishes are for the rest of the season, if he would accept a trade.

This.

I also would like to hear Bill's thoughts on it.

I meant Brayden. But if we're including both, they can't have Rinaldo.
