I'm assuming the asking price is crazy for Roy. I just read they want a 1st rounder for Gaustad so I don't even want to know what they want for Roy. :lol

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

Probably cause if Gaustad's price is reportedly a 1st rounder. So if that's what they want for him I'm guessing Roy's price is pretty steep too.

And you realize two tweets in like 10 seconds won't make it happen right? :lol

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

Beat ya to it. ;)

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

I'm sure Stan follows my twitter very closely. :lol

I would trade a 1st, 2nd and a prospect (i.e. Jeremy Morin) for Roy at this point.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

The talk on Sportnet and now seen it on twitter, that the expiration of the cba could hurt today. Anyone think so? I don't. If Carter who had 30 years left on his deal gets moved and Nash is on the block I don't think the cba will hold up anything. I can see guys like this not being moved for that reason but guys who are UFA's or only got a year or two into the next cba who cares then?

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

God help GMGM today. Somehow he has to find a way to add without subtracting too much. I think they hold on to Semin, but they have to give him a center. Would be ideal to get gaustad and Grabo. Put backstrom on LTIR. I think knuble's tank is empty and though Hamrlik is not a player they should be. Trying to get rid of it looks as though he wants out. Both have salaries worth dumping to make improvements.

Have to get tougher on D. With mike green back in lineup I think the power play will start to improve (as long as Semin is not traded). Defense not tough enough. Have to address that: Subban ?

Just a deadline paranoia. Here's to keeping brooks, Semin, chimera, 8, and at least one of the first round picks while adding the right offensive talent.

God help you GMGM.. this is an important one.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

I can't see Subban going anywhere. He's going to be a hell of a player for a long time in Montreal. And Subban isn't the mind of guy you bring in to get tougher. He can throw some big hits but I'm not sure many would consider him tough.

today has got to be so stressful for the players/families. I'm stressed and it effects me 0%.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

You answered your own question.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

Do the Hawks have Derek Roy yet?

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

Well that was my opinion just thinking if people in here agree or not.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

Agreed. I wouldn't mess with guys like Nash, unless I had plenty of cap room to work with. If you're picking up a contract longer than 1 more year left, that's got that kind of cap hit, you have to be worried about the CBA. That's why the NYR made no sense to me for him.

is this really possible?

Sharks are keen on JVR

San Jose Sharks

It appears the San Jose Sharks want to pry James van Riemsdyk away from the Philadelphia Flyers. So much so, GM Doug Wilson is willing to relinquish his No. 1 netminder.

TSN's Darren Dreger tweets the "belief is San Jose threw Antti Niemi's name at the Flyers hoping for JVR in return. Not happening."

If the Sharks move Niemi without acquiring another goalie in return (doubtful), Thomas Greiss and Antero Niittymaki would take over the No. 1 and 2 roles in San Jose, respectively.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

So Toronto and SJ supposedly have firm offers on the table for Nash. For TO while they are better than the Jackets they still don't have a #1 center that Nash has been lacking.

SJ would be making the big splash because they have been knocking on the door for a few years not getting in. I think this hurts cause they'll have to give up a lot to get him and the cap hit will hurt them. It would be a we need to do it not kinda thing imo.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

Andrei Kostitsyn to NSH. Does that kill the Rick Nash to the Preds idea?

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

Red Wings get Gaustad.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

A tweet I read said the flyers told JVR that he's not moving today. Although we all know their word means nothing. But no way Niemi is moved without a goalie coming back somehow.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

I read that same Niemi for JVR straight up trade about 50 different places.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

Flyers won't trade JvR for Niemi.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

No, they didn't. Apparently shot down pretty quick.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

NSH sends a second rounder and a condition to MTL for Kostitsyn. The brothers are back together

That's a deal that'll make Suter wanna stay...

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

Wow, so that Gaustad to the Wings deal is apparently dead. I was scared.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

Preds apparently not done. WTF. CUT IT OUT.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

Now another report said they are heating up. My guess is they walked away at the price and might come back to it.

Re: NHL 2011/2012 Thread
 

They'll end up getting him. Which will keep Roy in Buffalo, and me crying.
