Double ouch!

good line, with a 40 year old Koivu?

his cap hit is in line, pretty close now, after the "Wild UFA adventure" boosting the market

I thought he plays with Getzlaf and perry.

Ryan spent more time with Getzlaff and Perry over the past few season than with Koivu

Read, MAB, Prospect, 3rd Rd pick 2013, 3rd Rd pick 2014.

What was your current offer again? Not being picky just might of misunderstood what you were saying, sorry!

He was with koivu a lot as well, 2nd PP unit for balance, when they move Teemu up

i think its safe to say he's playing with good company.

- Jsaquella

The games I've seen, some, he's on the 2nd line frequently, not always, 2nd PP unit & all especially.

I would do that deal.

If I'm Anaheim I would like a 1st rounder one of those years.

Thats not a bad trade proposal though.

Lack of depth would hurt the production, they've been short a decent forward or 2 for a while

Why is Briere still on this team?

It's a starting point, but it really would help both sides. A lot of people have indicated that 2013 is a deep draft, so if they have to part with a 1st I'd make it 2014.

Bobby Ryan just publicly ripped his GM. He has a rep as a sometimes lazy defensive player, who could work harder. He didn;t get along with a coach that led his team to a Stanley Cup championship.

I think if Semin's name was Dave Smith he'd have signed a 6 year, $42mm deal by now.

I would totally accept that offer btw...where do I sign?

He doesn't play any defense though. All the goals he scores he gives up more when hes on the ice, right?

People would have been OK with Parise's cap hit. The issue with Nash is, the assets traded plus the cap hit.
- Jsaquella

I would like to see Nash paired with Giroux over anyone else discussed here (Parise, Ryan, Semin, Doan). Hartnell - G - Nash would be awesome to watch every shift.

But you are right..... I am not willing to pay the price Columbus is asking. It's not the salary.... it's the assets.

I wouldn't say it's more or not, I just know I the difference isn't so much so that I'm comfortable. okay?

You make a great point about Briere though. You've opened my eyes on Danny Boy.

Do people that complain about Briere not watch the playoffs or something? Or do they just blame him for throwing the team on his back and getting us a later pick?

I mentioned some of these things and was totally dismissed.

- hereticpride

yes he does these things, but often enough the play is going back the other way with the puck going into the net, while he gives a half-a$$ effort on the back-check. That poop gets you killed in the playoffs.
