spartacat_12 Posted June 16, 2012 Share Posted June 16, 2012 Nashville has traded Anders Lindback, Kyle Wilson, and a 7th (2012) to the Tampa Bay Lightning for two 2nds (2012), a 3rd (2013), and Sebastien Caron.http://www.tsn.ca/nhl/story/?id=398464I like the trade for the Bolts. Interested in seeing how well Lindback performs this upcoming season. Still, think Tampa Bay should at some point in the draft, pick up a goalie to develop. Malcolm Subban is a name that jumps to mind right away. He'd be someone I could see them taking but I don't think they would use their first round pick on a goalie. I could be wrong.Well Tampa has 2 first rounders this year so they could use the second one on Subban. In regards to the Leafs, as much as I hate them I would like to see them become competitive again (just so I can see the Sens beat them in the playoffs at least once in my life). If Jordan Staal is available Burke needs to be all over it. He's good enough to be a first line center and would improve their terrible penalty kill. I hate on the Leafs a lot but Staal, Kessel, and Lupul would be pretty lethal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NEW.ERA Posted June 17, 2012 Share Posted June 17, 2012 Flames are going to have to cut a major contract off this year.It's not going to be Iginla.That leaves Jay Bouwmeester and Miikka Kiprusoff.Well Bouwmeester isn't quite earning his 6.8 million or whatever, he is still a tremendous defenseman, and would automatically improve a contenders top four, and he still has that offensive mindset, just been bit by some bad luck his 3 seasons here. As for Kiprusoff. You see what he does here, with a mediocre squad in front of him. Put him in front of a team that can win, and you may have just bought your final piece to a Stanley Cup puzzle.I doubt it'll be Kipper traded on Friday or whenever, it'll most likely be Jay.

The_Admiral Posted June 17, 2012 Share Posted June 17, 2012 Bouwmeester is the worst of the three, though. You can move him to Dallas or Long Island or another team that needs to hit the floor, but you're not going to get quality assets back, just cap relief, ensuring that Calgary, ironically, has nothing in its pipeline. Kiprusoff will get you something from someone, but you wouldn't get anything from me, because he's going into his age 36 season with a lot of hard miles on him and it'd be highly risky not to hedge that acquisition with a #1A-calibre backup (a Josh Harding type), in which case I might just be better off keeping what I'd have sent back and making a go of it with the #1A. Iginla makes the most sense, but the Flames won't do it because the Flames are dumb. ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bob's not a starting goalie, JVR hasn't played near the potential he supposedly has, and picks mean nothing what with our awful scouting department.

We need a huge haul for Nash, not a backup goalie and three maybe-but-probably-notsBobrovsky is 23 years old. The average goalie doesn't even make the league until about 25-26 (and they usually are backups at first). Being an NHL backup at age 23 is really good, most guys at 23 are barely out of the CHL, and have maybe a year or two in the AHL so far. He put up starting numbers two years ago, and he has what it takes to be good. Also, guys like Schneider and Harding weren't very good at first, and now, after a few years of development, they are looked at as guys who could start the majority of their team's games.Same with Van Riemsdyk, he is only 23, and he actually has been pretty solid. He's put up about .5 points per game, and that's with 2 years of Richards, Giroux, Carter, Briere, Hartnell, Gagne, and now guys like Jaromir Jagr and Jakub Voracek in front of him in the lineup. I'm not a Flyers fan, but I can pretty much guarantee that he has had some problems getting ice time with some pretty great players in front of him.... and if those two picks are firsts or seconds, that's pretty good value for a guy who's never put up more than 79 points in a season. (and plenty of guys have scored more with worse teams, so you that's not a very good excuse.)Oh, and FYI Ed, I'm pretty sure that you can't include cash in trades any more.

zpqmaowl Posted June 17, 2012 Share Posted June 17, 2012 Red Wings choose architect for new, 18,000-seat arena the worst helmets design to me is the Jacksonville jaguars hamlets from 1995 to 2012 because you can't see the logo vary wall Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Admiral Posted June 17, 2012 Share Posted June 17, 2012 18,000 is running a little small for Hockeytown, if you ask me. And needless to say, unlike Joe Louis, the new arena won't have a single concourse from which you go up or down inside the seating bowl. That means the upper deck will be higher and farther away. They'll make a lot of money right away because that's the way it works, but the one good thing people have said about the whole experience at the big metal box on the waterfront is that there's nary a bad seat in the house. Now there will be thousands. Not good for the ol' Gate-Driven League.A thought crossed my mind when Glendale's city manager Ed Beasley "retired" to start an independent consulting firm after getting the illegal lease pushed through. When the Cubs' crappy new owners decided they would shake down the government for money, they cravenly hired a black guy to ingratiate themselves to "the community" when it came time to ask for tax money. I wonder if the NHL has similar plans for Beasley, trotting him out as their token black person to explain to Detroit's black people why the hockey team needs to be given a publicly-funded arena and an "arena management fee" to run it for them. I have as little respect for the Rickettseseses as I do for the NHL braintrust, so it wouldn't shock me if pissant minds think alike. ♫ oh yeah, board goes on, long after the thrill of postin' is gone ♫ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
