What do you guys think of/the possibility of these hypothetical trades?
Tanev+Higgins for RNH once McDavid is back and healthy(Draisatl is looking to be the real deal as well with 18 in 14 so far)
Vrbata + 4th to Washington for Bowey(retain a little salary of Vrbata to make it work if needed)
and Hammer+3rd or 2nd to Anh for Theodor(only if Anh is in playoff running at TDL)
Long shots, but i see RNH as expendable for a good Defensive D that skates well and has a great first pass. I would hate to lose Tanev but I think he can be expenable if we managed Theo/Bowey in the other trades.

They are worth more then that are TDL you undervalue our players, i may over value them a bit, but not as badly as that undervalues them.

No GM is giving away an asset for a 33 and 35 yr old rental for three months of service

Did anybody just see that Malkin goal? OMFG

Yes, yes they will and do all the time if it gives them a better chance at the cup this year. Look what Chicago gave up for Vermette, who by the way they ended up not really needing to win the cup. GM's give away young prospects and future stars all the time to try and win a cup. MG did it every year.

Then I guess we will need to wait and see. I want to see which stupid ass will pay a high price for a 35 year old with 12 goals for three months of rental

Vrby will be at or above 20 by TDL. I am calling it now.

That is about 24 games away. I don't see him scoring 14 in 24 but good luck.

Rentals at TDL are worth gold. Doesn't hurt as much against the cap as any other time traded, and you don't have to worry about your cap if you don't wish to resign them. Hammer probably already knows Van likely will not resign him, so he will either want to be traded to a team he may want to resign with or retire at the end of the season. My first trade was mostly Tanev for RNH but adding a little extra as RNH is obv worth a bit more than Tanev. I see Higgins as that vet presence that would help in the locker room with them while providing solid 3rd line production. That is worth significantly more than a 7th.

Thats why i also mention based on if we can work out deals for Theodore/Bowey. I would love a top line of Mcann-RNH-Virt and 2nd Shink-Horvat-Boeser in the future

Poor Dawn and her crack.

The great thing about Dawn is, its like feeding a tic tac to a whale

There is zero chance of any one of those things happening

Yes but both would be eager to sign a new contract as we have seen what has happened to older players this fall and their contracts will most likely be their last ones.

So if teams will only trade if they re-sign.... i see no issue.

So all I have learned from this page is less sex an more cowbell makes for clearer thinking.

Is ur crate empty so soon?

Getting the single point against Big D is good, but we should have won the first game and played well enough to win the second.

Anyone who tinks the Nux can't hang with the top dogs in the west needs to give their head a shake...

They get into the playoffs and they could be dangerous...

What surprises me is that the canucks are a bubble team (thought they'd be well outside), but so is LA and Anahiem.
