Told #Canucks don't want to trade him but may not have a choice. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Vancouver has lost 7 in a row. They need a shakeup badly. Kesler should be a guy the Devils puruse. We are terrible at face-offs, and he's a good face-off guy. He's on a great contract as well. However, they don't need defensemen, and all we have is defensemen.

sundstrom Posted February 27, 2014 Share Posted February 27, 2014 kesler = zajac but not as durable and way more miles on him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MadDog2020 Posted February 27, 2014 Share Posted February 27, 2014 Watching the TSN feed of the Montreal-Detroit game and they said Winnipeg is looking to add a depth defenseman. I'm gassing up the car for that Salvador road trip... He's even from Manitoba, so everybody wins. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devilsfan118 Posted February 27, 2014 Share Posted February 27, 2014 Ugh if MSL ends up a Ranger..that's so disappointing. He's such an inspirational athlete...and I'll have to hate him. fvcking Rangers, ruining everything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fsu1852 Posted February 27, 2014 Share Posted February 27, 2014 A lot of rumors are going around that we are in the mix for Gaborik Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Brown Posted February 27, 2014 Share Posted February 27, 2014 A lot of rumors are going around that we are in the mix for Gaborik I'd take him if he was cheap. BTW, Kesler's agent has since said that all the trade rumors are false. He didn't request a trade. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CarpathianForest Posted February 27, 2014 Share Posted February 27, 2014 Trade with FLA for Brad Boyes. You don't have to break the bnk or give a ton for him. We should have signed him this past summer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MadDog2020 Posted February 27, 2014 Share Posted February 27, 2014 Boyes would actually make a lot of sense- he can be had cheap and can score. That's actually plausible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cgb6397 Posted February 27, 2014 Share Posted February 27, 2014 If we're talking about Florida and Boyes, I'd like to get our hands on Matthias too. Boyes makes more sense but Matthias would fit like a glove Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nessus Posted February 27, 2014 Share Posted February 27, 2014 As much as I think Gaborik would be good for this team, I just can't see it happening. He's a guy you are gonna want for a playoff push. Columbus looks like they have a decent shot of making it this year. Also, I'm not sure who the Devils could offer to make it a fair trade.

Zubie#8 Posted February 27, 2014 Share Posted February 27, 2014 (edited) Don't feel like looking up his contract but what about the anual Hemsky proposal? He would come cheap and he is still putting up reasonable numbers while getting defensive minutes on the third line on a god awful team. Still has great hands and great offensive talent, always wanted him on a line with Patty. Yes I know he has a history of injuries but this team needs SOMETHING without giving up much. I'd rather give him a shot over guys like Brunner Josefson Loktionov. At least Hemsky will give you a .5 ppg pace unlike many on this team. If we are sellers, big if, I want Ryder gone, yes I know we need his goals but the problem is when he is not scoring the guy is useless, contributes nothing if he isn't scoring. I have been sick of watching him play all season, good for him he has a great release but that is about it. I am sure we can get something reasonable in return.

I'd replace Ryder, Brunner, and Bernier with Boyes, Hemsky, and Gaborik. Zubrus - Zajac - Jagr Elias - Loktionov - Hemsky Clowe - Henrique - Gaborik Carter - Gionta - Boyes I have absolutely no idea if we can fit this lineup under the cap though.

HellOnICE Posted February 27, 2014 Share Posted February 27, 2014 6 days of craziness. But unless the return of Martin Saint Louis for TB is ridiculous why would Yzerman trade him. He's a core part of that team, even at his age, and he's still playing well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HellOnICE Posted February 27, 2014 Share Posted February 27, 2014 I'd certainly take a guy like KEsler, but we dont have the assets to get a guy like that. It's a shame, but I feel the Devils need to overpay and hope for the best with some free agency decisions this offseason. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Triumph Posted February 27, 2014 Share Posted February 27, 2014 I don't want Kesler. I like him, but he is the kind of player NJ has enough of and he's falling apart. No on Boyes, no on Hemsky - no place to put these guys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
devilsrule33 Posted February 27, 2014 Share Posted February 27, 2014 6 days of craziness. But unless the return of Martin Saint Louis for TB is ridiculous why would Yzerman trade him. He's a core part of that team, even at his age, and he's still playing well. I think it comes down to his relationship with Yzerman, of course, but also it can come down to Yzerman thinking they have a chance to go deep this year. If you don't think so, why not capitalize on trading an old player, yet one that is also the reigning Art Ross winner and isn't going to be an upcoming free agent. He's a player that could fetch a very nice return if he would accept an offer to more than the Rangers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
