GOALMEZ

According to Spector TBL wants a young D in return for Drouin...I repeat:

Pouliot + Kunitz/Perron for Drouin + Garrison?

Perron especially makes sense since he is in his last year and hence will free up space for TBL to resign Stamkos.

Garrisson is a capable defender with an reasonable cap, the term is a bit long though. But Drouin>Pouliot and Garrison>Kunitz/Perron, so no thanks

I don't think TBL will get a better offer than this. Maybe PIT adds a 3rd rnd pick or something, but this satisfies all their criteria. I like Garrison, but TBL D doesn't need him and he is getting on in age. That 4.6mil cap hit for the next 3 years can be much better utilized elsewhere (like signing Stamkos/etc).

I rather take Vatanen for Drouin straight up, which is possible.

It was a poo poo proposal and you know it

Wouldn't mind him with the Wings, given the large amount of young Forwards we have to deal for him...give them Nyquist, Mantha, a couple 1st round picks...done and done. I'd love to see a Zetterberg/Larkin/Stamkos line

most trades involve one team getting the 2 best players and the other getting the 2 worst.

Pretty sure nobody thinks that Pouliot is a particularly valuable prospect anymore. Kunitz and Perron are both dirty diapers that sprouted legs and miraculously learned how to skate.

Stamkos would never come here.. Nor do we want his soon to be contract.

What is with Yzerman and Kunizt, I mean first team Canada and now this

this is idiotic! here we go again... teams signing players to HUGE contracts, I wonder when we can schedule the next lockout.... no player is worth more than 10% of their teams salary cap. this is so stupid... its amazing though because it seems like EVERY team is doing this. Kopi is an amazing player, but $80M??

Owners are allowed to spend their money any way they see fit

Stamkos+Drouin for Kreider, McIlrath+ Gropp+ 2 number 1 picks. LETS DEPLETE!

LOL I love how some of these people are only looking at points. It shows they don't really know hockey very much.

Kopi brings A LOT MORE than just points. He is a huge dominant center with amazing puck possession, can score and pass, but his 2 way hockey is among the best if not the best. Usually a Selke candidate and will win it very soon if not this year. Has 2 Cups where he was up for the Con Smythe in both Cup runs too. Having a major focus on D as a #1 center and still puts up the points he does is pretty amazing.

Please learn more about hockey if you think points is all that matters for pay days.
