redruM Posted April 23, 2004 Share Posted April 23, 2004 This is a tough one, becuase of the rumors we hear and not really sure what is real or contrived... There was a time before Arnot went to Dallas that the MArleau rumors were rampant, Not sure what it would have taken, but would have loved to have gotten Patrick....

Rock Posted April 23, 2004 Share Posted April 23, 2004 What, Red, no Tony Amonte? I don't know if I'd still make this trade, but back in their 1st or 2nd season. the hot rumor was Jagr for Niedermayer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CRASHER Posted April 23, 2004 Share Posted April 23, 2004 Well there was the rumors of us getting Nieuwendyk back when Calgary was shopping him... but knowing what we know now and what Calgary got it proabably would have cost us Elias Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swede Posted April 24, 2004 Share Posted April 24, 2004 Gomez for lecavilier(sp?) Think he would have been excellent here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derek21 Posted April 24, 2004 Share Posted April 24, 2004 i can think of one that drove fans nuts here. gomez and tverdovsky scratched at the deadline vs thrashers. both were expected to go to the sharks for sturm and i think damphousse. there might have been another person too. but i'm pretty sure it was damphousse that turned down the deal and not selanne.

LizDevil30 Posted April 24, 2004 Share Posted April 24, 2004 Gomez for everything from a bag of pucks to Teemu Selanne. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NJDevs4978 Posted April 24, 2004 Share Posted April 24, 2004 I love Lou's line on rumored trades (slightly paraphrasing): 'If I could make some of the trades that have been rumored, I'd be a genius and if I made some of the others, I should be fired' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jas0nMacIsaac Posted April 24, 2004 Share Posted April 24, 2004 It was Marleau and Hannan for Arnott and 1st.....thats the way I heard it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NJayDevil Posted April 24, 2004 Share Posted April 24, 2004 Anybody for Drury. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jas0nMacIsaac Posted April 24, 2004 Share Posted April 24, 2004 Drury is a natural center....right now Gomez, Madden, Hrdina, and Parise look to be our 4 centers. Unless we move him to LW where he played with Forsberg I doubt Drury would be a good fit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NJayDevil Posted April 24, 2004 Share Posted April 24, 2004 Well if Friesen goes, he's another perfect fit for 2nd line LW. Along with Smyth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jas0nMacIsaac Posted April 24, 2004 Share Posted April 24, 2004 I dunno if Buffalo really wants to trade Drury. He seems to be the leader on that team right now. We could allways take Connolly Dumont is the only forward on Buffalo I would want....maybe Pyatt as a project like Rupp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NJayDevil Posted April 24, 2004 Share Posted April 24, 2004 Yeah I doubt they would part with Drury as well, but this thread is about the Trades that never happened and the last 2 deadlines, there were rumors of Lou trying to get Drury that never happened, with so many names thrown in, that's why I just said "Anyone for Drury." When he was on the Flames, he was rumored to come here. And this past year, while on the Sabres, he was rumored to come here as well.

Jas0nMacIsaac Posted April 24, 2004 Share Posted April 24, 2004 OK, I didn't realize what thread this was. I thought it was one of the proposal threads. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Satans Hockey Posted April 25, 2004 Share Posted April 25, 2004 The one i had really wanted but never happened was us talking about getting Satan and Zhitinik from buffalo i don't remember who we were going to give up though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Devsrule Posted April 26, 2004 Share Posted April 26, 2004 Well here is a trade that I DID NOT want to happen during 2000: Elias and Morrison for Doug Weight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elias Sports Bureau Posted April 26, 2004 Share Posted April 26, 2004 (edited) Anybody for Drury. I would use the same three words except the word "BUT" between the first and third. (This is the standard ESB statement for the more recent peeps.) I really don't understand why more people don't hold grudges. I don't want Hatcher, don't want Domi, don't want ex-Flyers, don't want ex-Rangers. To paraphrase Annie Savoy, I'm essentially monogamous. And that Elias-Morrison for Weight woulda been MONGO bogus!!! Edited April 26, 2004 by Elias Sports Bureau Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Devsrule Posted May 1, 2004 Share Posted May 1, 2004 Holik for Amonte. I wish that happened. Might as well get something back for the loser. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewarkDevil5 Posted May 1, 2004 Share Posted May 1, 2004 (edited) Elias for Iginla Gomez for Lecavalier Morrison for Messier Niedermayer for Bure Gomez for V Bure I don't necessarily wish any of these happened. Just listing a few old proposals. Edited May 1, 2004 by NewarkDevil5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MissionHockey Posted May 1, 2004 Share Posted May 1, 2004 Elias for IginlaGomez for Lecavalier Morrison for Messier Niedermayer for Bure Gomez for V Bure I don't necessarily wish any of these happened. Just listing a few old proposals. These deals were actually on the table? Well as much as I love Elias (my favorite player) Iginla is better. Gomez for Lecavalier would absolutely be ripping off the Lightning. Morrison for Messier? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
