The Latest on Kuba

No chance I dress Kuba tomorrow. I'll be surprised if he hasn't been traded before the game.

Me neither, can't risk injury to him.

And your suspicion is?

I have a sinking feeling we might see him play.

I really wouldn't be surprised if we see Neil or Kuba traded tomorrow. In fact, I expect it.

I think the bottom line is that I'm just really anxious to see what we get for these guys.

As for playing Kuba tomorrow night. I sure as heck wouldn't if you know he's going to be traded.

Sad reality is that both will be traded for 2nd round picks

I would take that in a heartbeat. Although I am still holding out hope that we might get a late first for Kuba.

With Murray's drafting, and the depth in this draft, two 2nds would be good. Could possibly get a goalie (Roy/Pasquale) or a PWF (Holland). Lots of good choices. Casey Cizikas should be around till the 3rd perhaps.

Me too, but I think Murray fields a few serious calls this afternoon and tells Clouston to sit him. I hope anyway, I'd be really, really pissed if he got badly injured in a game we should be losing anyway.

Having Kuba IN the lineup provides us with our best chance to lose.

I'm sorry to say, I kinda agree. (Sorry Kuba, never really like you).

That's kinda harsh :^^^^:

I'd take that and run. This is going to be a deep draft, supposedly deeper then last year. That could go a long way in restoring the prospect pool.

two more wiercioch, bring it on :##:

With 2 2nds, Murray can use those as part of a bigger deal as well.

One lats attempt by Murray to re-sign Neil and Kuba today, and if not, they will be traded. What's the likelihood they are re-signed and then traded? Would a team rather have the player as a UFA or under contract?

If Murray resigns Kuba I may have to find a new team to support.

I say trade Neil. Just do it. If both he and the team want to get back together, they can do so in the off season. But if they can get something of value for him now, then you have to do it, and on top of that, if Neil has a chance to win a Stanley Cup and then come back here, re-sign at a fair price, and bring us some of that experience and winning attitude, great.

We have a lot of defenceman, many of which are not what we need. Kuba's agreed to waive if asked, and while he would like to stay, Murray should not pay him anything near what he wants. Not that he isn't worth it, but it's time we spend money where it is needed.

Give M. Karlsson, maybe even E. Karlsson a shot next year. What about Wiercioch? Maybe he'll leave Denver.

Very bad idea to sign Wiercioch at 18 years after one season of NCAA. Guys like Weber and Phaneuf spent two more seasons in Junior after being drafted.
