CarpathianForest Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 What makes a thread "official" - I was thinking of starting a Salvador appreciation thread and was hoping it could be the official one. A. This isn't the 2012 post season B. I think that thread closes rather quickly after the mods realize you and Mike Brown are the only Salvador Appreciators.

coldply123 Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 Kesler is held together with duct tape - I have no interest in him and I think there's some element of buyer beware on him. Yes and he has a ton of off the ice baggage to boot over the years in Vancouver. He's a guy I think some team that trades for him will think they got a steal and end up regretting it.

NJDevs4978 Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 Oh yeah. Steve Sullivan was the blockbuster of the year. Didn't we give up a 2nd rounder for him?? God, hopefully a 5th or something It was a 6th. Actually it was a 7th lol...which is incidentally why we had to trade for the 7th at the draft to pick up Anthony.

hystyk28 Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 How is this possible? They would use Kesler as a 3C? I guess they could always shift him as a winger. It'd probably cost something like Maatta to get it done Zero chance they include Maatta. Maybe Megna. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Triumph Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 Pittsburgh has a ton of D - they are keeping Maatta, but I could see them moving Simon Despres in a deal for Kesler. For some reason he hasn't made the Penguins full-time despite being pretty darn good and he's a guy the Canucks would like, I imagine.

Mike Brown Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 Don't get your hopes up. Lou will probably end up getting something like Scott Gomez or Mike Cammallerri. What's wrong with Cammalleri? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kessler seems to be an odd fit in Pitt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muevelos Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 Where to start should be the question. He'd be up at the end up the year and he's to expensive and inconsistent, we don't score goals as it is, adding an already inconsistent player to our roster wouldn't help. He'd be a Brunner for us. What's wrong with Cammalleri? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SterioDesign Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 just read this on Hockey30 (from Quebec) - Le nom de Martin Brodeur circule de plus en plus au Minnesota. - Les journalistes couvrant les activités du Wild sont d'avis que Brodeur serait une bien meilleure solution que Ryan Miller puisqu'il va coûter bien moins cher à obtenir. - Ajoutons aussi le fait que deux des enfants de Brodeur fréquentent l'école Shattuck-St. Mary’s qui est située dans la région du Minnesota. - Évidemment, Brodeur devra accepter de lever sa clause de non-échange, mais on raconte qu'il serait excité de rejoindre les rangs du Wild Pretty much saying that Brodeur's name is circulating a lot in Minnesota and that both of his kids is going to Shattuck-St. Mary right now in Minnesota and that he'd be excited to join them.

Sneax Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 Marty isn't worth anything, I mean cmon he's done after this year or next and his play has slipped dramatically. However if the Wild did give us something of value for Broduer, I might forgive them for the pillaging of Zach Parise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However if the Wild did give us something of value for Broduer, I might forgive them for the pillaging of Zach Parise. Marty the player is not worth much, if anything at this point. I am just wondering if his name is worth something to some. Maybe I am remembering this wrong but didn't word come out that when Chicago was interested in him back in 2012 off-season that a good chunk of it was to sell tons of jerseys with his name on it?

Sneax Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 That seems crazy to me, but I guess chicago can afford to give no fvcks about drafting players for a while. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devilsfan118 Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 I think Marty's name definitely carries weight - as does Jagr's (although he definitely has more left in the tank than Marty at this point) I've said it before - there are plenty of stupid GMs in this league. I seriously think Lou could get something relatively substantial for him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thecoffeecake Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 (edited) Is there any realistic situation in which we get Maatta and they get Jagr? Also, does anyone remember Gionta crushing that kid in the opener in Pittsburgh? No one ever said a word about it, no highlights or anything. I'm beginning to think I imagined it Edited February 26, 2014 by thecoffeecake Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MadDog2020 Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 Is there any realistic situation in which we get Maatta and they get Jagr? Sure... The situation where you envision it in a drug-enduced hallucination. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Devilsfan118 Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 (edited) This ain't madden. Just throw this year's 5th, 6th, and the 3rd round pick from 2018 in there, that'll persuade em to do it.

MadDog2020 Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 @TGfirandice: Jagr said again today he doesn't want to be traded. Hasn't discussed it with Lamoriello, though. @TGfireandice: Jagr said if Lamoriello did try to trade him, though, teams should talk to him first "to make sure I want to go there." @TGfireandice: Jagr doesn't have no-trade, but suggested he might not go to some teams.

Namelesz Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 Gotta love Jagr! Basically saying that if a team trades for him and he don't wanna be there, he will sh1t the bed there, HAHAHAHAHA!!! He's the best. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devilsfan118 Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 (edited) ...looks like I'm going to go ahead and take the opposing side on this one. He sounds like a spoiled brat. Sorry Jags, the Devils are about the team, not catering to your needs. The same has been applied to Marty - if Lou finds a good deal for Jagr he should take it. Jagr legally/contractually has no say where he can and can't go. Edited February 26, 2014 by Devilsfan118 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
