Thoughts on Kelly for a second rounder?

I'd do that before you could say Jack Rabbit.

Think a second could happen?

Would you take a third?

I don't really know how the market goes when you're trading a good bottom six for picks.

Could he be the throw in to any Heatley deal to up the ante and remove a longer termed contract. Edmonton was desperate for a player like him last year on their PK. Moving Kelly helps with the cap hit this coming season but also for the next season when Murray has to sign key RFA's.

With so many teams close to the cap, getting a second rounder for Kelly will be difficult. I think it is a fair trade, but it is a buyer's market right now.

Yes, Kelly could be the 'additional money' Murray was referring to.

OTOH, Kelly does bring a (sort of) leadership to the room at a time when the team needs that. He's dedicated to the team, and does his job well. If he doesn't fetch a good return, and there are other ways to clear cap space, then it may be worth keeping him for a year, or at least until the deadline.

Where's the contest for the best quote?

(and no going after the low-hanging fruit - we are all better than that, right?)

Too bad the second picture is being cut off. Obama is getting an eyeful in that one.
