Weekes Head Posted August 5, 2005 Share Posted August 5, 2005 It's not like we can guess what Lou will do, but hypothetically what if we do use kozlov as bait. what do you think we can get out of another team? I think his value may have gone up since he played so well in Europe. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> From a 4th round pick to a 3rd? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
El Diablo Posted August 5, 2005 Share Posted August 5, 2005 You know were all counting on Patty to come back strong... I understand his Hep was extremely debilitating, I hope he can regain form. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elias2600 Posted August 5, 2005 Share Posted August 5, 2005 agreed. I wish him all the luck in the world to find his strength again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redruM Posted August 5, 2005 Share Posted August 5, 2005 Not sure we have enough talent to trade for a big name like Thortan.. If you ar Bos are you taking anything less then Gomez plus for him?? I'm not... so lets for get thet... and other than a bag of pucks what are you going to get for freeze??? No any moes that LL makes are going to be middle of the road, not enough talent on this team to snag the big fish Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rock Posted August 5, 2005 Share Posted August 5, 2005 Even if the Devils had the players to trade for Thorton, I doubt Lou could find enough cap room here without dumping half the team. It will take around 6.5 + to even have him consider signing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rock Posted August 5, 2005 Share Posted August 5, 2005 The Devils need a scoring winger, they have an excess of defensemen right now. Logically it would be some surplus defensemen and a young prospect for that winger. Lou however never does what we would consider logical from a fan's point of view. As far as free agent wingers, Lou would have to find one that would come here cheaper than anywhere else. Lou always seems to come up with the player us fans groan about at the beginning yet always seem to come through in a big spot for the team. Trust in Lou!

langs15 Posted August 5, 2005 Share Posted August 5, 2005 If we dont sign stevens then we defenitly need another vet. D-man, and of course were going to need someone big up front. Im liking the thorton deal...............i think Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NJayDevil Posted August 5, 2005 Share Posted August 5, 2005 A lot of M's on our defense.... Kariya, Audette, Selanne, Palffy, Whitney, Brunette and Bondra are still available. I'd love to get Palffy. What was his situation with the Kings? Was he bought out? Or was he just a regular UFA? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NJayDevil Posted August 5, 2005 Share Posted August 5, 2005 If Ziggy doesn't like talking to the media than the Devs are perfect for him. Sounds like he's all about hockey, not too many better places to come than here for that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jdub Posted August 5, 2005 Share Posted August 5, 2005 Its obvious the devils need a scoring winger.. Maybe someone big.. I think the devils should strongly consider Paul Kariya.. not big.. not too old.. and he's fast and he can score.. Not to bad for about 2.6 to 3.2 mil.. assuming elias doesnt come back right away... Friesen - Gomez - Gionta Kariya - Parise - Kozlov Pandolfo - Madden - Langenbrunner Rasmussen - Brylin - Oliwa and when elias comes back.. we can knock oliwa out of the roster.. i think this would be the way to go Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jdub Posted August 5, 2005 Share Posted August 5, 2005 I wouldnt mind going the suglobov route... but i would add him anyway along with Kariya.. get some scoring everywhere.. cuz this is "the new nhl" so scoring is the key right? cuz if you look at it this way... the devils dont get a scoring foward.. elias is out for a while.. til atleast december.. Parise is gonna lead the devils in scoring.. tough task for a rookie.. just food for though.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sundstrom Posted August 5, 2005 Share Posted August 5, 2005 a couple issues with kariya. don't think we can afford him at 2.3, nor do i think he'd sign for that little. he'll get at least $4M and most likely $5M from someone. your lineup does not include marshall or langdon or elias. so when elias does return, you have oliwa, langdon, and marshall on the bench. if a guy like kariya comes, you'll absolutely see either freisen or kozlov gone, which doesn't really make the devils better because i'm not convinced that paul's a huge upgrade over either anymore, especially at what he'll cost.

Jdub Posted August 5, 2005 Share Posted August 5, 2005 im just going on what tsn.ca said.. that edmonton was looking to offer 1 yr for 2.5-3.1 mil .. so i figure if we could get him at that price.. it would be a steal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueSkirt Posted August 5, 2005 Share Posted August 5, 2005 August 5, 2005 Mogilny wants to play, but not in T.O. TheFourthPeriod.com Free agent winger Alexander Mogilny expects to play in the NHL next season, once he is completely healthy following hip surgery, reports the Toronto Sun. Mogilny's agent J.P. Barry says his client has received much interest, but none from the Maple Leafs. The Sun claims it is unlikely so see the veteran sniper wearing the Blue and White next season. "I have not heard anything from the Maple Leafs regarding Alex," Barry told the Sun. "I've had preliminary discussions with close to a half-dozen teams. "I think if he continues to work out at the pace he has been, he will be ready for the start of the season." Mogilny has been working out all summer and recently changed venues to Los Angeles from his hometown of Khabarovsk, Russia. Meanwhile, reports still suggest the Leafs are close to signing free agent center Jason Allison, and are apparently interested in winger Zigmund Palffy. And, according to the Toronto Star, center Nik Antropov said he is considering lucrative offers to play in Russia. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
