McCabe a Panther?

Florida has no one but Horton to put the puck in the net. Booth is coming along, but he's not there yet. Stillman is great...when partnered with someone good to elite. So...McCabe to Florida would preceed a Bow trade.

I was getting tired last night and read 90% of the reports. Most seemed to say Bow was certainly heading the other way, then there's the rest who say that TO simple doesn't have the young forward(s) that Florida would want in return.

I think a link to your HB comment would have been sufficient :lol!: . Seriously though I agree with everything there and I can see you feel pretty strongly about this. I won't be holding my breath to watch you eat your printed post that's for sure. :D

Well, TO is going for Hedman, that's for sure.

The deal from what I am told is for Van Ryn and another roster player. Spector is saying the other guy is Skrakins, but I have a feeling it's Van Ryn and Dvorak, who has been on the block for awhile now.

Victor Hedman, the number one pick from next year's draft (people are starting to talk about Tavares being nowhere near as good).

Hedman and Karlsson are playing together in the U-18 tourney and apparently Hedman set up Karlsson for a masterpiece goal.

Which Karlsson? Is that our boy?

Yep, Erik Karlsson, our #1 pick this past draft.

Things would definitely get a lot harder though. TO's D and goalie situation would trump ours right?

Now THAT is a deal I can buy: Van Ryn/Skraskins + Dvorak/Zednik for McCabe.

Basically, the only way I can see someone taking on McCabe's contract is if TO agrees to take on someone else's problems in return. That's about the best they can hope for if they want roster players in return.

Hmmm, this makes me a little nervous.... I haven't really got much of an appetite for a my earlier post...

Oh uh. Now TSN is saying that FLA and TO appear to have "agreed upon in principle" a deal for McCabe that would happen sometime after Sept. 1:

The odds of me eating my post just went up another 25% or so. :pale:
