Eckford for Pitkanen is a decent deal but you have to consider they will want more, most likely a draft pick as well.  Eckford isn't a ready prospect so who knows if they would want a player to plug in as well.  

PS they wouldn't want Mottau.

i'd give them palameri or vasyunov as well. does anyone know if joni has a lefty shot off the top of your heads?

pitkanen roams all over the ice and 3 teams have already tried to turn him into an elite defenseman.

both those teams lack larry robinson and scott stevens.

Just for the reasons you cited, I think they'll keep him.  I would think lou might have interest in Niclas Wallin. He's older, having a crap year (then again who isn't on the canes)but would be a great addition. He has great wheels.

we don't need another bottom pairing guy. the devils problem the past few years in the playoffs has not been our offense it has been our D. we do not have the bodies that can skate the puck out of our zone on a consistent basis. joni does that for us and he can get qb a pp.

no stop fvcking with the rules.

haven't read the thread - first off, cangelosi is just embarrassing, i'd rather have al trautwig and mark (N)Єverson in the booth than that rangers fan.  i did enjoy his call of rob 'shemp' though - doug 'curly' weight and john 'moe' tavares are sure to follow.

lucky win but sometimes that's needed.  also a good sign is that if my eyes didn't deceive me, i thought i saw pandolfo only take 3 shifts in the 3rd period, and that's a good sign, since pandolfo has just been terrible of late.

cangelosi, is not a rangers fan.

i'd give up tedenby but then i would give up a lesser d prospect. we have great wing depth at the moment.
