Trade/moves to make??

[jgthegame1982]

I know u guys are a little more savy (aka I am too lazy to look it up) but any rumors or grumblings about how we can make a playoff push, I know its early

KMO--u know Bailey has played much better ever since he cost us the Ranger game, straight up... but since then he has played much better

so what moves u guys see us making, we are only like 6-9 pts out of a playoff spot and with the play lately (penguins game not included, we have been in ever game)
START learning how to win OT games would be huge and nice as well lol

Thoughts?

Aquire Shea Weber, and Zach Parise. That would probably help out a little bit.

Isles need to try and trade with a team that is struggling. CBJ, Anaheim, Hurricanes the best 3 candidates imo.

Canes: Gleason, Ruutu, Larose
Ducks: Ryan, Koivu, Lydman
Jackets: Vermette, Umberger, Tyutin, Prospal, Letestu

I'd only want Shea weber really. Team is still shaky with him

[kmo429]

I feel like this team needs another top 4 dman more than anything. Steit, Hamoni,c Mac Im fine with in my top 4, but when you have guys like Milan, Staios, Eaton,a nd Mottau in there who are all really #6 dmen at best, AHL dmen at worst, you need a guy who can play 20 minutes a game.

I love Tim Gleason, IDK if hed be available but Streit-Gleason and Mac-Hamonic is an awesome top 4. Like actually elgit lol.

I love our 1st line, 2nd line I dont though. Nielsen-Parenteau, i Like that, but Rolston is just horrible. I also liek GRabs and Bailey together a lot, but in all reality Martin shouldnt be there. martin is one of my fave players but you dont put him on the 3rd with Nino on the 4th.

Grabner-Bailey-Niederreiter would be a great 3rd line. It's young, it's very solid offensively, has 2 very solid defensive forwards, and its erfectly balanced sniper-playmaker-powerforward.

4th should be Rolston-Reasoner-Wallace and we should add a top 6 forward. a LW, someone who can put the puck in the net, who plays similarly to Moulson. I think Toumo Ruutu would be perfect there. He's awesome and hes phsyical and just a very good underrated player.

Imagine getting Gleason adn Ruutu in a deal. What would it cost? Probably a lot. I would guess we'd need to deal a 2nd round pick and a couple good specs. Maybe 2nd rounder, Rakhshani, Wishart, and one other item. May be being generous for the Isles, but I would do that deal, hopefully Canes would. I would just like to keep my hands on Bailey, Nielsen, and Nino. Guys like Moulson, JT, Okposo, Parenteau, Grabner, martin, are probably in the untouchable category (in terms of what Garth would be willing to give up ina deal for a couple mid aged 2nd pairing/2nd lien player

What r the odds we can make a move for Nash????

[kmo429]

10000000000 to 1.

[jgthegame1982]

That good huh lol

[beltran15mets]

if we ever traded for a high profile winger or center i would kill my self

[kmo429]

^Cause it would start with Moulson/KO/Nielsen/PA/Bailey + Strome/Nino and a1st.

Not willign to do that for liek anyone..

[beltran15mets]

trade nabokov.

[kmo429]

Moulson, Kabanov, Wishart, 1st rounder for Nash

Grabner and Mottau/Eaton/Staios for Toumo Ruutu and Tim Gleason

Nabokov for a 2nd round pick. Do it Garth

Rolston for a 5th round pick

Nash-Tavares-Okposo
Ruutu-Nielsen-Parenteau
Martin-Bailey-Niederreiter
Ullstrom-Reasoner-Wallace

Streit-Gleason
MacDonald-Hamonic
De Haan-Reese

Montoya
Poulin

Rakhshani, Strome, Ness, Donovan, Lee, Nelson, Cizikas, Petrov, Dibo, Mayfield, Nilsson, Trivino, Sundstrom all waiting in the wings...

[tsunami]

Moulson, Kabanov, Wishart, 1st rounder for Nash

more like nino, strome, next years first for nash.

[kmo429]

^Lol are you insane? He will not be taded for that much

Like seriously you cant just assume. look at the past.

LA got Mike Richards for Brayden Schenn, Wayne Simmonds, and a 2nd round pick....

Nash should not get more than Richards, he'll get the same value or less.

Schenn, Simmonds, 2nd and Moulson, 1st, 2 top 10 prospects.

Doesnt seem too unfair calue wise now, does it.


Nino, Strome, 1st? Were you actually serious? Like nash isnt even better than Kessel who got 2 1sts and a 2nd and Nash is older and makign a shitload of money.

[beltran15mets]

i think we let nabby get 300 wins and hopefully by than montoya will be back and than we will look to trade nabby away
