Z-Man Posted February 27, 2014 Share Posted February 27, 2014 I'd definitely be in on Moulson if we were still within striking distance of the playoffs by next week. Buffalo could use some defensive depth for the long term. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devilsfan118 Posted February 27, 2014 Share Posted February 27, 2014 (edited) The posts with shaky sources are A LOT less annoying than the posters that complain about them. Because then we are wasting our time reading someone complaining You know what's even worse than that? People complaining about people complaining about posts with shaky sources I don't know about you guys, but I personally don't even want tweets from accounts like "xXNHL_Trade_RumorsXx" posted. Because they're obviously crap, trying to cash in on the deadline hype. Edited February 27, 2014 by Devilsfan118 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DevsMan84 Posted February 27, 2014 Share Posted February 27, 2014 I miss the days when you would find out about a trade with an article in the paper the next day. Anyways I really do not want any part of Gaborik or Kesler for reasons already stated. Moulson might be decent but I have a feeling we would just be getting another Ryder. Vanek might be interesting but he is all but certain to be too rich for Lou's blood so not worth getting into him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thefiestygoat Posted February 27, 2014 Share Posted February 27, 2014 The posts with shaky sources are A LOT less annoying than the posters that complain about them. Because then we are wasting our time reading someone complaining If people don't post blatantly false, made up rumors, then there would be no need to complain about them. These wannabe twitter accounts contribute nothing. If we are speculating, I'd rather a poster bring up a player and give their opinion on why they think the move would make sense. That would contribute something. Not shaky sources. NO sources. Complete and utter BS. Every trade deadline 10-15 accounts with a bunch of followers change their name to some rumour/insider catchy name and take the players that are reported by the actual insiders and just make sh!t up. Desperate trade-hungry NHL fans who can't live in the world of unknowns follow them and take the bait. But once again it is all made up. There are maybe 10 people in the entire media that have enough sources around the league to be able to discuss all teams and rumours. It isn't any unknown individual hiding behind a twitter account. This thread should be above that crap. If people want to invite any made up rumour, they should create a rival hockey thread and indulge. Agree 100%. I wonder if it would be worth it to have separate threads, one for people that like rumors that are made up and one for those of us that only take the rumors from the likes of McKenzie/Dreger/beat writers/Spectors/etc...people that actually work in the industry.

Triumph Posted February 27, 2014 Share Posted February 27, 2014 I understand they have no autority but if your going to cry about like a teenage girl, I wouldnt have posted sorry I didn't know teenage girls were so eloquent in their crying. Do you run this account? Because otherwise you should've taken 0 offense at what I said - just said it'd be better if you speculated instead of some twitter moron.

Triumph Posted February 27, 2014 Share Posted February 27, 2014 While we're talking about Buffalo players, I really don't have much interest in Moulson, but I do have interest in Tyler Ennis - I wonder if NJ can't pry him out of there. I'm not sure what Buffalo would want of ours - they have young D but they are farther behind on the development track than the 3 young guys NJ has used this season. Something to think about.

Mike Brown Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 I blink once, and you have a historically terrible offense with Gaborik on the third line. Looking at all of your posts. I don't know if you're delusional or just retartedly optomistic, but whatever it is, at least it isn't constant doom like the majority of the rest of us. Well it's not as if the Devils have traditional first. second, and third lines anyways. Anybody know if Gaborik can play LW? It's irrelevant since we're not getting all 3 of those guys anyways.

Mike Brown Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 Do you think Lou can pull this off? Ovechkin - Crosby - Kane Sharp - Getzlaf - Perry Hall - Tavares - Okposo Kunitz - Kessel - St. Louis Suter - Doughty Keith - Weber McDonagh - Subban Rask Schneider Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Onddeck Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 Kesler denies any trade request. http://www.nhl.com/ice/m_blogs.htm?id=26623 He actually does sound like he legit wants to stay in Van Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Triumph Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 I don't remember David Conte ever being reported at an NHL arena. Young players at the game include Toffoli, Vey, and Ma.

Granlund - I dunno, seems strange, maybe he's just in the area.scouting something else good point - would they really send Conte (who rarely is sent to games) to scout Mike Cammalleri? He has been in the league for quite some time, I dont think one game will alter and scouting report on him. Are the Kings a possible match for one of our young D for their young O?

sundstrom Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 here's the thing about conte - and it might be a stupid question - but isn't he more of an amateur talent scout rather than pro scout? is there a discernible difference?

coldply123 Posted February 28, 2014 Share Posted February 28, 2014 (edited) I think LA and Calgary are both possible trading partners to be honest. And I think the the guy was not Conte but the head of pro scouting. Edited February 28, 2014 by coldply123 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
