MDPucks Posted June 17, 2010 Share Posted June 17, 2010 No. It starts with Neuvirth and a first rounder, or something more. I don't think Marty is really worth what we're thinking. After watching every Caps game over the past 4 seasons its obvious that Neuvirth is a small goaltender that plays small and isn't very athletic. He plays like Wade Dubielewicz in net and in the limmited big league starts he's gotten he's been lit-up by diecent-to-good teams. His only success has come versus the terrible SE Division or brutal teams when the Caps simply have outscored their opponents. Neuvirth is a classic back-up goaltender everywhere but Philadelphia where his number would be retired immediatly. Its also obvious to me that Semin makes the quintessential talented Russian flake Alexi Kovelev look gung-ho motivated. Semin has immense talent but is beyond flaky and can bookend 6-7 goal weeks a month or more of a drifting "vhat-eveh" spell. The Caps tried to solve this by getting Fedorov to babysit him 2 years ago but it did little. Semin has also completely disappeared in every Ovechkin-era Caps playoff series. I put up Backstrom and Carlson because if the Devils would ever trade their biggest chip (not named Parise) you'd demand a ransom of your team's needs and Backstrom and Carlson are exactly that. A Center and a young D-man that can move the puck. Of course it ain't happening and trading Marty would be an idiotic move short of the 2 guys I mentioned.

NJD Jester Posted June 17, 2010 Share Posted June 17, 2010 What I don't get: Chere's article, before and after the edit (and no clarification on it!) talks about Lou's desire to get a No. 1 center. Alex Semin isn't just not a No. 1 center, but actually can't play the position at all (hence, left winger). I mean, this trade fails on sooooo many levels, but the story was that half-assed. <JESTER> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Devs4LIFE Posted June 17, 2010 Author Share Posted June 17, 2010 This is starting to remind me of the Kovalchuk/Potvin thread. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devil Dan 56 Posted June 17, 2010 Share Posted June 17, 2010 marty is worth even less than that. In what magical land is Brodeur not worth a late-round 1st and an unproven goalie? Either way, this trade is bogus. Brodeur has a NTC. Lou doesn't want to move him, and if he does it won't be to a team in the East. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
