H.E. Pennypacker Posted November 1, 2010 Share Posted November 1, 2010 Giordano has been given a five year extension leaving a pittance of money for Ian White during his upcoming free agency. I don't know how many of you watch the flames or saw Ian White play with the leafs but this is a good player and a PMD at that. Brent has fondness for some players on the Devils roster namely Langenbrunner so why not trade him along with Matthew Corrente for White. Our d pairings if we leave Rolston on LTIR for the season would be this Ian White Anton Volchenkov Andy Greene Bryce Salvador Tallinder Colin White Thais would stabilize the team tremendously and allow us to take some massive steps forward.

Marshall Posted November 1, 2010 Share Posted November 1, 2010 I....could see this working. How's the salary exchange look? Langs 2.8 Corrente .821 for Ian White 2.999 995 () Devils save around 620k. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mmajeski06 Posted November 1, 2010 Share Posted November 1, 2010 (edited) And one could only hope the two Whites get paired up to "Wite-Out" the opposing team's chances of scoring... Edited November 1, 2010 by mmajeski06 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hystyk28 Posted November 1, 2010 Share Posted November 1, 2010 Ian White could be a decent fit, especially since he is a right hand shot. I see Rolston coming back before Salvador. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarpathianForest Posted November 1, 2010 Share Posted November 1, 2010 Nice deal but probably not gonna happen because Lou likes the status quo for some reason. This video pretty much sums up Lou's attitude about doing anything to bring some change to our dismal season so far: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mMDV3eISLPs&feature=related Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HellOnICE Posted November 1, 2010 Share Posted November 1, 2010 I can live with that trade. I'd offer Clarkson before Jamie though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarpathianForest Posted November 1, 2010 Share Posted November 1, 2010 Too bad Lou isn't going to be making any deals or at least that seems like the case. Perhaps Lou is losing his memory and every game day they just show him a video of an old Devils game. Either way Lou is like Big Gay Al from South Park. "Hey Lou how are the Devils doing?" "Super! Thanks for asking!" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HellOnICE Posted November 1, 2010 Share Posted November 1, 2010 Yea Lou never makes trades at all. Not sure of CGY's situation with their D but it seems with Reghyr, Giordano, JBo and Sarich all making 3.6M or more - that they may need to move him - especially if their season continues to go down the toilet. White may be a good piece here...but to be honest I don't know enough about him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarpathianForest Posted November 1, 2010 Share Posted November 1, 2010 I assume your sentence about Lou trading has a sarcastic edge to it, Hell. It can't get much worse than it already is at this point and every time Lou is interviewed his attitude is that everything is status quo. We have heard nothing about Lou doing anything.

Triumph Posted November 1, 2010 Share Posted November 1, 2010 calgary is in the same boat we are. there's no way a trade for ian white works unless the devils can keep playing the IR game all year. not to mention that ian white is not as good as you think he is; he is certainly not a first pairing d man.

Quinn01 Posted November 1, 2010 Share Posted November 1, 2010 (edited) It would be interesting if Lou and Sutter spoke about this. Maybe some potential in this deal. But just for sh!ts and giggles, if he signed, I would put him on the line with Colin White. The White Line.

CarpathianForest Posted November 1, 2010 Share Posted November 1, 2010 White Power line. That would help us with the White Supremicist demographic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quinn01 Posted November 1, 2010 Share Posted November 1, 2010 Actually that wouldnt be a good idea.....people would be standing up in the arena yelling "WHITE POWER!" I KID I KID! We are all the same color.....RED. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marshall Posted November 2, 2010 Share Posted November 2, 2010 I haven't heard anything in months about him, but Kim Johnsson is still UFA. I know he had concussion problems after being injured vs the Ducks, but...it'd be worth a call. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CarpathianForest Posted November 2, 2010 Share Posted November 2, 2010 How about anything to change anything anything, please anything, yes anything. I had a thought the other day(a surprise in itself!). Perhaps once everyone comes back we will start to hit a stride. I recall that the first two games we played(Stars and Caps) it was primarily Marty who looked shaky. Then Volchenkov was injured but Marty started to improve his game. Only issue is whether or not we can hold it together lon enough to have a successful season. Right now it doesn't seem that way. From here on out whenever we lose a game that hurts our chances of getting an 8th spot exponentially harder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
