What good is trading Hemsky for a guy that is going to walk? Sure if Gleason signs it's a good move, but it's a huge (frank)ing risk and not one we can afford to make.
I rather take the picks and make a trade like TO did at the draft for Liles. - Lahey
Agree take the picks but Tambo is going to do another type of Penner trade with Hemsky..............

I don't think katz wants to invest in a short bus though just for Heatley....
we may as well sign olli jokinen then

You read that story on Jokinen quitting drinking? I thought the guy just did it or something, talking about he got better because of it. Then the article goes on to say he quit 6 years ago and that he only binged 4-5 times a year and that he would have 2-3 day hangovers. What a (frank)ing twat.

Why not? If it helps both teams out I can't see why they wouldn't make a deal with each other. - Pilgor09
Sure they can make a deal, but what good is Hemsky to them and what good is Gleason to us? Maybe if it were something around PRV for Murphy as you suggested, but not UFAs.

Do we really need more picks/prospects? I don't think waiting another 3 years for any of those guys to crack the NHL would help anything.
Need to go after a young proven NHL defenseman. Which is nearly impossible to do.
Del Zotto, Mcdonaugh, Subban, Gunnerson, Demers, Niskanen, Blum, Voynov, and a couple more could probably be had for the right price. - Pilgor09
The right thing to do is go after picks and prospects that is where the most value can be had at the deadline, like another poster said these can be moved on july 1st for higher picks and player needs can be addressed via fa.
that being said, i don't know if the fan vase would accept that

Picks and prospects are so overated. Unless of coarse it's a top 5 pick or great prospect.

Yeah you're right. THey'd be better served to send Gleason to a contender where they'd overpay. Ditto with us and Hemsky.
Peckham will be a perfect shut down dman - Killbot460
Peckham is literally X2 as good as Tuebert.
This is how CLoutier's brain works. If the player is considered a prospect, then he is a sure fire lock to make the team and be better then half the players. But as soon as he sees that prospect actaully play, he realizes he sucks.
