MadDog2020 Posted January 13, 2014 Share Posted January 13, 2014 Wonder if Lou could pull off something like... trading something "meh" or something he knows he'll lose anyway for Burmistrov's rights to Winnipeg ? Big gamble but depending on how low the Jets are on him it might be worth a gamble if they can convince him to be back, i believe he had trouble with the coach (which is gone now) but who knows, change of scenery could help maybe? not sure how he's doing in the KHL right now I don't know, but a move is overdue. One or two of these defensemen need to be moved out- easier said than done I know, but something has to give at some point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They might have some pieces worth looking into. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they're having all kinds of issues but Murray was quoted saying he wanted scoring/power forward. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SterioDesign Posted January 13, 2014 Share Posted January 13, 2014 my only point was with a guy like burmistrov... lots of talent and skills but the organization might be down on him and might be willing to part with his rights for something cheap. I dont think the devils can get talent through trades without giving up too much Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marshall Posted January 13, 2014 Share Posted January 13, 2014 I'd be all for it, he should be cheap but I don't think much will come of it (nor him). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cgb6397 Posted January 13, 2014 Share Posted January 13, 2014 After Kovalchuk, do we really want to "take gambles with KHL players"? I wouldn't go close to that hell hole of a league if I were Lou. I'd like to see him make a move for Shawn Matthias. That dude is a Devils forward to a T Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MadDog2020 Posted January 13, 2014 Share Posted January 13, 2014 What will it take to get Evander Kane? They'd want one of the three young defensemen to start. And then probably a Matteau and/or Boucher. In other words- more than Lou is likely to want to give up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJ Eco Posted January 13, 2014 Share Posted January 13, 2014 (edited) What will it take to get Evander Kane? Not saying I'd pay it, but after that Buffalo-NY Islanders trade/debacle, I'd say this is what the market is dictating (right now), and probably why there haven't been any notable trades so far since, blame Garth Snow.... Larsson, Merrill, 1st rounder 2015 Or Cory Schneider, conditional 1st rounder 2015 if he re-signs long-term Or Larsson, Fayne, Zajac Important thing to note is that Kane is locked up til he's 27 on a pretty awesome $5.25m deal, so you're trading for value and you're trading for a great player's prime years and more; I think Kane's trade price is going to be high because of this, Winnipeg has a gold mine if they want to cash out from dealing him.

DJ Eco Posted January 13, 2014 Share Posted January 13, 2014 What about Blake Wheeler? Good question, he's always flown under the radar for me, but he's been having an absolutely stellar year, stellar the last 3 seasons really. Maybe Corey Schneider and a conditional 1st rounder in 2015 if he re-signs, would land Wheeler (or Kane), which I'd be against doing. I really think Garth Snow messed it all up. Every GM with parts to sell must be feeling like they deserve the return that Buffalo got for Vanek's rental, which is why we're at a standstill.

Devilsfan118 Posted January 14, 2014 Share Posted January 14, 2014 So what about a deal for Briere? He could probably be had pretty cheap, I'd imagine. Low-risk, low-reward type deal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marshall Posted January 14, 2014 Share Posted January 14, 2014 So what about a deal for Briere? He could probably be had pretty cheap, I'd imagine. Low-risk, low-reward type deal. Love it, then MTL could go Volchenkov-Murray as a pairing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dmann422 Posted January 14, 2014 Share Posted January 14, 2014 Do not want briere I don't think he is an improvement to what we have (unless Elias is out for the season god forbid), so I wouldn't want to give up assets for him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well in my mind it'd have to be one of the excess D we have for him (ie, Volch, Salvador). Bad contract for bad contract. Plus Briere only has one year left on his deal, whereas Volchenkov has 2..so we could get out of that year potentially. For the record, I'd prefer Salvador go, but I seriously, seriously doubt Lou trades him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For the record, I'd prefer Salvador go, but I seriously, seriously doubt Lou trades him. with the cap going up and new owners I don't think Lou is too worried about volchenkov's hit in two years. Plus bringing in a guy like briere causes the same problem at forward that we now have on defense- you have a bunch of 2nd tier guys who you can't all give ice time to. I'm all for moving a defensemen but I'd rather it just be for a draft pick/prospect or a package for a significant upgrade up front.
