The rumblings are Marleau for Heatley straight up.

Fair?

I don't feel it is to be honest, throw in a prospect or pick, this is ridiculous. The guy has been on a steady decline for a while, while some might argue that Heatley is too, he's still a 50 goal man where Marleau is not.

Heatley is worth more than Marleau for sure, so a pick would be fair. Don't sell Marleau short, though. He's had one bad year since 2005 and managed to bounce back with 38 goals and 71 points on the LW this year.

Marleau - Spezza - Kovalev.... Dig it!

That's not too shabby at all. Maybe I should look into these things before I comment. I thought he was still on a decline in SJ. Probably because they fail at everything they do and he's their captain and things just never seem to get better there.

I'm not saying by any means that I don't want him, bring it on!! I just don't think it would be a fair trade if it was straight up. A pick or a prospect in there and I would do the deal. We need to get Diddle out of here and quickly. I think we're all beyond sick of hearing about him, and have to come to the realization that, as much as we might want him to stay (we'd be ridiculously awesome) he will not be playing in a Sens uniform again. No matter what Murray and Melnyk say about it, it ain't happening.

Doug Wilson is, unsurprisingly, holding his cards very close to his chest indeed.

After reading that article it seems as though Wilson is fully prepared to wait as long as next summer to get a bargain. Perhaps it's just a bit of expectation setting for the fans. I promised a shake up but don't be surprised if it doesn't happen until the trade deadline or even next summer?

Sounds good.

The way I had it worked out is we are over by $48k, having re-signed Elliott to the same contract he had last year. But he might be willing to take a $48k pay cut if it means signing a one-way deal. And of course make it a one year deal as well.

If Smith goes one the IR, we will be sitting pretty. But I have heard nothing regarding him since his injury. I'm beginning to think there is nothing wrong with him at all.

What size roster were you running with?

That's what I used, only counting our one-way contracts. So 12 forwards, and 7 Dmen, and the two goalies.

Ahhh and Foligno....

10. Manny Fernandez, Goaltender – Dallas, Minnesota, Boston
Fernandez never played more than 58 games in a season and was better
suited to a backup or split-duty role. The 34-year-old won the Jennings
Trophy in 2007 with Niklas Backstrom in Minnesota and accomplished that
same feat last year alongside Tim Thomas in Boston. He has a career
2.50 goals-against average and .912 save percentage.

9. Patrice Brisebois, Defense – Montreal, Colorado
An unsung-hero type, Brisebois, 38, played his 1000th game last year
with the same team it all began with back in 1990, Montreal. He was a
member of the Habs’ last Stanley Cup team in 1993 and finished his
career with 420 points.

8. Mike Sillinger,
Center – Detroit, Anaheim, Vancouver, Philadelphia, Tampa Bay, Florida,
Ottawa, Columbus, Phoenix, St. Louis, Nashville, NY Islanders
Sillinger holds the dubious record – or the “Hey, at least I’m wanted”
record – of being traded 11 times, more than any player in NHL history.
The 11th overall pick in 1989, Sillinger, 38, has played 1,049 regular
season games for 12 teams since getting his first NHL taste in 1990-91.
However, he’s participated in just 43 playoff contests, a sign of being
on some bad squads. Another sign: a career plus-minus mark of minus-191.

7. Manny Legace, Goaltender – Los Angeles, Detroit, St. Louis
It’s a bad year for goalies named Manny. The 36-year-old has a career
2.38 goals-against average and .912 save percentage, but was the victim
of an inglorious squeeze-out last season in St. Louis. He won the
Stanley Cup in a backup role with Detroit in 2002.

6. Darryl Sydor, Defense – Los Angeles, Dallas, Columbus, Tampa Bay, Pittsburgh
Never the biggest name on a roster, Sydor won Stanley Cups with Dallas
(1999) and Tampa Bay (2004). Sydor, 37, forged a 17-season career
netting 499 points.

5. Mike Peca, Center – Vancouver, Buffalo, NY Islanders, Edmonton, Toronto, Columbus
In his prime during the late 1990s and early 2000s, Peca, 35, was known
as one of the best defensive forwards in the world. The Selke Trophy
winner in 1997 and 2002 (he was also runner-up in 1998), Peca was also
a four-time 20-goal scorer during they hey-day of the NHL’s dead-puck
era.

4. Jeremy Roenick, Center – Chicago, Phoenix, Philadelphia, Los Angeles, San Jose
One of the greatest quotes ever, J.R., 39, never met a microphone he
didn’t like. He was straight shooter, in more ways than one. Roenick’s
513 goals and 1,216 points make him the third-highest scoring
American-born player.

3. Curtis Joseph, Goaltender – St. Louis, Edmonton, Toronto, Detroit, Phoenix, Calgary
CuJo, as he is known, was one of the best goalies on bad to mediocre
teams in the modern NHL. Joseph, 42, is fourth all-time in regular
season victories (454), but his 352 losses tie him with Gump Worsley
for the highest all-time total in that dubious category. He’ll best be
remembered for leading average teams in Edmonton and Toronto to playoff
upsets.

2. Chris Chelios, Defense – Montreal, Chicago, Detroit
Fourth all-time in NHL games played with 1644, 12th in penalty minutes
with 2,891 and the 10th-highest scoring blueliner ever, Chelios, 47,
won three Norris Trophies (1989, 1993, 1996), was runner-up twice
(1995, 2002) and played his first NHL game in 1983-84. He won Stanley
Cups with Montreal (1986) and Detroit (2002, 2008).

1. Brendan Shanahan, Left Wing – New Jersey, St. Louis, Hartford, Detroit, NY Rangers
Only Luc Robitaille has more goals and points as a left winger than
Shanny and only John Bucyk and Robitaille have more assists. Shanahan,
40, is not only a sure-fire first-ballot Hall of Famer for his on-ice
exploits, he’s been a great ambassador in trying to enhance the game.
