Phoenix has nothing but defensive prospects. Perfect team to trade with. We could use defense and they could use some offense.

And we pretty much have no prospects.

I was thinking from our offensive depth on the big club. Getting a defenseman who's ready to play.

i think the whole "don't draft a defenseman in the first round" thing is/is about to become outdated..... it's becoming a defenseman's league IMO

We aren't getting into the top 5, we'll likely get a prospect that will need sometime to develop.

Take Matt Finn for example

No I mean trading a depth forward to Phoenix and trying getting one of their defenseman like Yandle or another that's ready to play at the NHL level. I don't want to move up in the draft.

It's an unspectacular group, but there are some interesting players in guys like Akeson, Kessel, Manning, Testwuide, and even Shane Harper.

I would absolutely love for Testwuide to make the team this year. It would mean no more Jagr, but I think adding a guy with his size to the bottom six from within the organization would be incredibly beneficial.

Brendan Ranford re-enters the draft, yes? Didn't he have to be resigned by today?

PLind...your music taste is the same as mine, except I love the Grateful Dead in addition to all the other good 70s stuff. Allman Brothers are on my list too. And Iron Maiden

Anyway you might enjoy what i call classic country:

Johnny Cash, Willie Nelson, Waylon Jennings (who along with Cash is probably my favorite country musician), Merle Haggard, Kris Kristofferson. All the newer poop with the wanna-be Hank Williams (Sr.) cracking voices singing about pick-ups and beer is drivel, but some of that rock-a-billy stuff is real real good.

I listen to exactly two country artists willingly: Johhny Cash and Dwight Yoakam. Three if you count Carl Perkins as just country.

Let's discuss favorite foods and ice cream flavors and bash each other about differing tastes.

Or... meh.
