Johnson + 5th overall for Pronger!

Me too.



If there is a three-way in the works that falls from this it will be interesting...

See, not only did I call the Pronger trade, but I deleted it because I knew it was false! I was right twice!

:^^^^:

Guys we can put this rumour to rest. Eklund the great is denying its validity.

Eklund likes to contradict legitimate reports to somehow infer that his "sources" are more connected.

What a douchebag.

That must mean it IS true

I 've seen over the years that trades have occured in the past during the playoffs but its usually depth AHL role players.

So, this changes the Heatley to LA options, eh?

Neely brought up a good point though. I think Heatley is a better fit in Anaheim with Getzlaf.

I think Heatley needs to go where he will be *the* top dog, not just one of them.

that is why LA is the best target for Heatley so far, maybe Edmonton.

Trouble is, he can't drive his convertible with the top down year-round.

By the way, my buddy from Calgary said they had snow again last weekend. Is that just stupid or what? Al Gore! :gg:

I live just outside of calgary and it made for a miserable 3 days. Snow, rain, snow etc.

Word is the trade is:

JJ
1st rounder in 2010 conditional on Pronger signing an extension

For

Pronger

Makes sense as JJ and 5th overall for an aging upcomming UFA seems like a steal for Anaheim IMO.

Not really. It was hail more than anything. Still....F-O with the crap weather please.

But what are the odds that LA would trade away their next two first rounders, when the GM has been given the green light to continue the rebuild, rather than going for the immediate win?

Or is Pronger an asset to trade for bigger return on deadline day?

Methinks that there would have to be something bigger coming - this would represent an unusual level of activity with big assets in play at a time when transactions aren't supposed to happen, all occurring coincident with Heatley hitting the market.

This broke when I was in TO for my bachelor party. Many, many people think it's BS down there.

BS, I tell ya. Without a Pronger extension in place, this is the dumbest deal ever (and makes Heatley worth all the king's men).

Trade Heats and Shubert for Teubert, Frolov, 5th
Dump Kelly for a pick.

Sign Bow and Doan in FA...
