I don't think they'd do that if it were their only move...
- LeachHextall27

I have said it numerous times, but the move I would look to make would be to get E. Kane and Enstrom out of WPG....

Dream trade:

JVR, Read, Bourdon, 1st and 2nd for

Ryan, Schultz, and 6th overall.
- flyersfan51

Schultz is a UFA on July 1 who is going to hit the market.

what would you consider Carter?
- nastyflyergirl

I would not consider Carter a star player. And in my opinion, Carter is a better player then Ryan is.

thats a mightyyy big risk.. What if you make that move and then Nashville decides to hold onto Weber?
- jak521

Well you wouldn't do it unless Nashville accepts. So basically, it's a 3-team trade. In essence at least.

Agree with the first statement. Second one is at the very least debateable.

- MJL

I think he becomes a free agent on sunday.

Look, i love Read. But if were getting back Ryan, i think i could accept him getting traded. Ryan would be amazing with G.

Plus, it would allow Hartnell to team up with Briere again.

Team core
Giroux/Ryan
Briere/Hartnell
Schenn/Simmonds
Coots/Talbot

Filll in the blanks with the remainder.

I just dont see Nashville agreeing to 3 firsts for Weber..

If I were Poile.. to even start a conversation about trading Weber I would ask for a top 6 forward and top 4 d-man.. and potentially a first or their top prospect.

And to reply about our 3rd line:

Wellwood-Couts-Simms/Voracek
Sestito-Talbot-Rinaldo

Tah dah!

It would be 3 firsts AND Voracek in that scenario, with them likely taking Reinhart or Dumba with the 6th pick.

And on top of it.. Ryan has been on a very successful line.. He has put up very solid totals while playing with Getzlaf and Perry.

***I know yesterday I was arguing against this very train of thought, but I also stated several times I understand player do benefit from playing with certain other players.. just not to a degree of increasing your point total by 30+ points***

Yup. Getzlaf is one of the best playmaking centers in the league too without question.

To me it doesnt matter who you take with that pick.. I would want guys that will help NOW.

Nashville isnt a team that is looking to restock the cupboard.. they want to win a cup.

Please keep the boys together, Homer....

Could you guys imagine Schultz on this team!? I know its a pipe dream, but how nasty would this be? Along with Ryan + 6th

Kimmo- 6th overall
Coburn-Schultz
Mezzy-Grossmann
Lilja
Gus

Defence problem: Solved.

That wouldnt be the case if they lost both Suter and Weber though....right?

I would be terrified with that set up..

And thank god.. it would never happen.

Schenn...

Which Homer shouldn't do.

All of a sudden I'm thinkin' of 1970, Sly Stone:

Everybody is a star
I can feel it when you shine on me
I love you for who you are
Not the one you feel you need to be
Ever catch a falling star
Ain't no stopping 'til it's in the ground
Everybody is a star
One big circle going round and round

That wouldnt be the case if they lost both Suter and Weber though....right?
- LeachHextall27

Exactly why I still dont think they will trade Weber..

I went over this yesterday.. I honestly think Suter signs elsewhere, the Preds ink Weber long term, and then try to get Parise..

Very possible.

It's just an idea, although I do think it's possible the Preds deal Weber today.

Schenn...

I hope they don't trade Schenn.

He looks like HIS gut is tied in knots!
