Spector pretty much compiles the rumours and ultimately dismisses all of them. I like his site as a comprehensive digest of published rumours. His analysis is hit and miss.

What's left on Nylander's contract though? I think trades like Fisher for Nylander will happen this year. Not saying this trade is what would/should be done, but both players have contracts that are bad for their respective teams, and not necessarily bad for the team they would go to.

2 years left at 4.8.

I like Nylander - a lot - and I would love to have him here, but there is no chance in this cap world/economic downturn that any team can take a 'flyer' on him.

Tkachuk has said that he'd waive for Boston (which is Boston's kiss of death if they acquire him). He's apparently made a list for St.Louis to explore of teams he'll go to.

Neil will definitely be traded if you believe the Sun and that he deserves 'double' what he's making. Bye bye. Too bad though. Settle for 1.5 million a year and you're a Sen...do you really want to be a Sen that bad?

I like Neiler, a guy who can drop 'em and still play but you are right. $1.5M or let me know where you will like to go at the deadline and I will call them first but go somewhere you will, and not like it you may. <-- that last scentence is a bit Yoda-esqe

Am I way off on this? Would you trade Fisher for Nylander (NMC's aside)? Would the Islanders?

Kuba (DUH!)
Smith
Lee
Vermettte
Schubert
Neil
McAmmond
and a slim possibility of Picard... but I strongly question that and Smith personally.

Either way, I'd be curious to see who Murray can turn into valuable picks and such...

Would the Caps? Probably, yeah. Would we? Dunno. I would personally because we need someone who's worth a Dung on line 2.

I think both teams would do it....I brought it up because I was confused about your statement that Nylander's chance of being traded was so low. You guys know way more about this kind of thing I do, so I thought I would throw it out there. I have a feeling there are going to be a lot of moves this year kind of like the one mentioned above - a bad contract on one team could very well be a great one on another.
