Senschirp talking trade

Long run Columbus is happy because they shed the contract and let Mason take the reigns, Ottawa's in an interesting position to totally showcase Leclaire for the deadline - or my some miracle if Leclaire plays lights out, we have the tandem for next year with Elliot. Auld at 1 million should be a moveable goalie (for like nothing). Then you'd have Leclaire and Elliot basically in a tandem, you give Elliot a good look in the NHL - like 40 games to Leclaire's 40 - and even better, when Leclaire goes down, Elliot gets his taste.

I'm not in favour of doing this because Gerber's coming off the books anyway, Leclaire creates a logjam of goalies (even if he is a little better than Auld), Russell is too small (but I hear a killer little puck mover), Vermette is traded for size and a little skill.

Schubert's the throw in, I can't see anyone else off our roster we'd part with for this.

I swear, add it all up and it actually smells right $$ wise and hockey-trade wise - doesn't mean I like it though.

This is all just a guess anyway.

That would be incredibly stupid. We can't make the playoffs, Horcoff is 5 years older than Spezza and only marginally better than Fisher.

Straight up, do you think Murray is going to be here come trade deadline? Or Hartsburg for that matter? Like I said previously, I have a hunch that there will be a new regime in place a month or so prior to the deadline, so they have time to make the proper assessments.

Sooo dumb unless it's a crazy D-man coming back, like Visnovsky or Souray and even then, it wreaks of dumb.

I'd give up Lee and Vermette to get Gilbert and Schremp though, that's a deal that can work.

I'm not a Schremp fan.
