nmigliore Posted July 1, 2008 Share Posted July 1, 2008 Now that we inked Rolston.. We have about 3-4mil/yr to spend.. does he go for Hainsey? Or possibily make a trade to open up some space for Redden? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
metallidevils Posted July 1, 2008 Share Posted July 1, 2008 we should have more than 4 mil, no? I'm excited about Rolston but he's not the missing piece to the cup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coldply123 Posted July 1, 2008 Share Posted July 1, 2008 I think adding a defenseman is still on Lou's list. Maybe he'll look at a trade or two. I think with Rolston in the fold we can put the Shanahan rumor to rest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nmigliore Posted July 1, 2008 Author Share Posted July 1, 2008 (edited) Well Rolston helps out our PP issue alot.. he is the perfect pointman And i still think Shanny is a possibility.. 1 year for 1.5-2mil/yr would be acceptable Edited July 1, 2008 by nmigliore Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brodeurrocks Posted July 1, 2008 Share Posted July 1, 2008 we should have more than 4 mil, no? I'm excited about Rolston but he's not the missing piece to the cup. Correct. We need that transitional game puck moving point man now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
msweet Posted July 1, 2008 Share Posted July 1, 2008 We have too many stationary defensemen... somebody will have to go. VV and Greene are looking like they have no spot on the roster. Martin-Oduya White- FA Salvador-Mattau Brookbank Truthfully IMHO VV is gone..somehow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SatansDevils Posted July 1, 2008 Share Posted July 1, 2008 Hainsey not Redden. Go out on a limb and get Campbell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sammyk Posted July 1, 2008 Share Posted July 1, 2008 Go out on a limb and get Campbell. You want him to make a trade with Chicago? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
metallidevils Posted July 1, 2008 Share Posted July 1, 2008 screw getting a defensman...stick pando on defense, clear up a little cap room, and sign hossa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nmigliore Posted July 1, 2008 Author Share Posted July 1, 2008 (edited) Yes, with Corrente/Bergfors on the main roster its about 3-4.. without them its like 4-5.. not much of a difference.. If Lou can package some draft picks/a prospect or two and Gionta for Bouwmeester than would just make the day PERFECT. I wouldn't be surprised if Lou moved Gio for a draft pick to open the cap for an extra 4mil, therefore able to afford Redden or whomever else Edited July 1, 2008 by nmigliore Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dadds3424 Posted July 1, 2008 Share Posted July 1, 2008 lou needs to think center center center center center center center center Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RSC Posted July 1, 2008 Share Posted July 1, 2008 trade vv, greene, gionta, and a 3rd rd pick for bouwmeester. I can dream, right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jkrdevil Posted July 1, 2008 Share Posted July 1, 2008 lou needs to think center center center center center center center center Rolston or Elias will play center. Are forwards are pretty set except for a depth signing. I think he will probably try to make a trade for a defensemen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Z-Man Posted July 1, 2008 Share Posted July 1, 2008 Not counting Bergfors & Corrente... $51.994 for 21 players (11 forwards, 8 defense, 2 goalies). $4.7 million cushion remaining. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MantaRay Posted July 1, 2008 Share Posted July 1, 2008 Get on the horn and get one of the great young Chicago D men, since they signed Campbell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jdub Posted July 2, 2008 Share Posted July 2, 2008 I dont think he will do anything drastic for a little while... If he does Sign a dman.. Orpik or Hainsey... You can almost garuntee that Gionta is gone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xxchaznjxx Posted July 2, 2008 Share Posted July 2, 2008 Get on the horn and get one of the great young Chicago D men, since they signed Campbell. that's where i hope lou is looking. i also heard that CHI isn't looking to unload khabi so it looks like havlat is a goner. i'd take one of their youngsters and havlat for gio, vv, 2nd rd pick, maybe throw in one of our 3rds since we have two of them. i don't think we'll see a trade soon though. i think everyone will wait and let the dust settle and more than likely a trade will happen before training camp opens.

SatansDevils Posted July 2, 2008 Share Posted July 2, 2008 Not that much room under the salary cap right now but I do hope he goes for a veteran defenseman that can score and play QB on the PP. I hope Lou is looking at Hainsey, Smith and Orpik. Need to get one of these guys and hopefully it will be Hainsey. Most likely a trade has to happen first or try to fit the salary under the salary cap by October. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jdub Posted July 2, 2008 Share Posted July 2, 2008 Getting one of the CHI guys would be nice... I like Orpik.. even tho he is going to ask for alot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beezer34 Posted July 2, 2008 Share Posted July 2, 2008 (edited) All I know is, Brian Burke has been unusually quiet this time of year. I know his cap space is limited. However, now that Nieds has said he's coming back, BB might think about unloading a d'man. I wonder if LL tries to make a deal for Schneider.

I wonder if LL tries to make a deal for Schneider. is schneider still good? i thought he may be at the point where he breaks down alot. he would fill a need for the devils and wouldn't cost us as much trade wise.
