2ELIAS6 Posted May 8, 2013 Share Posted May 8, 2013 Why would you want to buy out tallinder, or even barch hes the perfect goon and thats all hes good for use him when we play teams we need that type of player for example-Philly. I can think of others I'd much rather see bought out..volch cough cough hedberg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can think of others I'd much rather see bought out..volch cough cough hedbergi agree with that buying Barch out wouldn't make much sense because he doesn't have a big contract; hence, not saving us much money.HOWEVER, in no way is Barch a "perfect" goon. Simply because he can't fight. I haven't honestly seen one fight in our uni where I haven't been embarrassed for him. We know he can't score and if he can't fight, why can't someone else replace him? The buyout almost has to be Volch or Sal. I would way rather see Volch stay but I'm putting money that it's either one of then or Hedberg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marshall Posted May 10, 2013 Share Posted May 10, 2013 Barch's punch corsi in 6 fights is -51 so I dunno how good he is. Oh wait, he's terrible at fighting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Johan Hedberg I agree and I have been a huge proponent of Ryan- but how do you suggest we get him? I think he's restricted until next year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JacobPaul1995 Posted May 20, 2013 Share Posted May 20, 2013 we trade for him. give up next years first round draft choice (therefore forfeiting it), Peter Harrold, and D'Agostini. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJ Eco Posted May 20, 2013 Share Posted May 20, 2013 we trade for him. give up next years first round draft choice (therefore forfeiting it), Peter Harrold, and D'Agostini. I don't think we can do that. Forfeiting the draft pick = not being able to trade it, it pretty much vanishes. Then on top of that, Harrold and D'Agostini aren't too attractive as trade pieces from Anaheim's perspective. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2ELIAS6 Posted May 20, 2013 Share Posted May 20, 2013 i couldnt see harrold or dags being worth much at all... what has dags done all season long net 3 goals?(not accurate just stating he's worthless) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then on top of that, Harrold and D'Agostini aren't too attractive as trade pieces from Anaheim's perspective. I am just about 100% sure you are right about that. Next year's first round will essentially be a 29-pick round. If we trade that pick then it will basically have value to it and negates any punishment that ruling was supposed cause to the Devils.

Swedes are usually a safe bet but they have been poison to Conte lately. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derlique Posted May 20, 2013 Share Posted May 20, 2013 Bobby Ryan would require Larsson or Henrique ++. He's expressed interest in playing for Philly so I wouldn't be surprised if he bolted next summer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pepperkorn Posted May 20, 2013 Share Posted May 20, 2013 (edited) I'm started to think Swedes have no cajones. They internalize too much. I think it's a national trait, not being able to identify the constructive path out for your frustrations. There are of course the occasional outliers - but it's not something you can bank on by any stretch of the imagination. They're good to create a grounding force it seems... but they just can't get it done. Just think of all the wasted talent you've seen - think of how often the Swedes should have won - not how many times they HAVE. Think of how many times Alfreddson choked, Sundin. The biggest problem is they're so close you can always be duped into thinking they're about to break out... is it worth it though? You need some nasty Canadians or some happy-go-lucky Americans - their hard work seems to pay off. The Swedes hard work more often than not just exhausts and drags down come the end of the road. It's just very confusing to manage - this so close and yet so far thing. Edited May 20, 2013 by Pepperkorn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chuck the Duck Posted May 20, 2013 Share Posted May 20, 2013 Just read this article on Hemsky. Wouldn't mind getting him to play RW on our 2nd line, especially if Clarkson walks. http://www.edmontonjournal.com/sports/hockey/edmonton-oilers/Hockey+World+Ales+Hemsky+days+Edmonton/8407920/story.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The offense may never come, but I don't see why he can't be a 35 pt 3rd line center Sky is the limit for Larsson Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
