It would almost guarantee us losing Pysyk or McCabe and a mid round draft pick or our 1st so I say NOPE.

No names are being talked about, it's a wait and see what the Rangers decide to do.

Robert Plante turned down 800M to do a Led Zeppelin tour next year.

all I imagine is the opening scene in Duck Tales of the Uncle jumping into his bank vault.

Oduya isn't worth 6 mill a year and the Wild can keep Pommer, we don't need him.

his agent has a poster-sized photo of oduya hoisting the cup he carries with him at all times

Robert Plant is foolish he's been fighting this for years, he just doesn't want to sing the songs anymore.

Don't know. When I posted the ROR trade I was getting text mess. for about an hour before and then I posted it about 5 minutes before it happened. I'm sure it will be that way again if another deal goes down if I get some info on time.

I like Bieksa i've always have, he would be a nice pick up but IMO will still need a PP guy.

Michael, another solid blog. Here is food for thought - what about "doing nothing" tomorrow and waiting out the situation until September when teams who are pressed against the cap have to move players for pennies on the dollar - see NYI last year?

Agent: Hello, yes this is Johnny Oduya's agent

GM: Why hello, I would like to speak with you as we have interest in your client. What is your client seeking?

Agent: Hey, I'm going to shoot you a text message real quick - hold on.



GM: Well that is a bold strategy Cotton

Bieksa is from Grimsby Ont, just down the road from Buffalo. Regarding his play, I see enough of him out here in B.C. that I wouldn't want him at this stage of his career. A great heart and soul guy but he was really exposed towards the end of the season and against the Flames. Too slow. Hamhuis would be a better pick from the Canucks if he was available for a reasonable price.

he played pretty solid for them last year along with Myers. Wonder if the AAV is around the same 4M he was making or more.


I saw a lot of Avalanche fans with Stafford as their top RWer on their wanna-be depth charts.

upgrade over Gorges in the bottom pairing but doesn't really address our need in the top 4.
