I'd rather trade Vrbata for a 2nd and not waste the 1st on a d-man we can get in the 2nd round.

This

Everyone has tunnel vision about getting a Dman . The best D prospect couldn't even make Team Canada jr this year.

Be careful what you wish for

Vermette last year in 63 games had 13 goals and 23 assists, minus 23..Vrbata in 35 games has 10 goals 8 assists minus 14

Vermette got a first and a prospect, a second from a playoff team isnt enough for Vrbata.

Isn't Vermette a centre?

If you can find someone who will give us a 1st for Vrbata then go for it. Any 1st for Vrbata will be very late, there's not much difference between 27-30 or 33-36 when you are only looking for D-men.

I agree with that, but if we were to trade the rental in vrbata the second would be 46-60

There's no way Vrbata would get a 1st (as of play up until now). That's like hoping for a 1st for PAP

Where do you think our 2nd will fall?

Last night's game wasn't brimming with excitement, but it was a good win for an undermanned team.

I'd be very happy with a 2nd or 3rd and a prospect.

Id agree with this approach, it will get our D rebuilt faster
