Draw your own conclusions ...

Brunnstrom's contract expires this summer. Brunnstrom all the way.

which is why they probably wouldnt consider trading him for cheechoo. unless they really think they could get cheech going, and i think we all know how that works out.

Shhhh. Let's pretend they don't follow hockey that much and they're really interested in this former 50 goal man (who now would be lucky to score 15).

To add Shannon and Campoli I think they could live with Cheechoo. Specially with the Brunnstrom/Cheechoo contracts being a wash. Besides, they have better playmaking Centers in the #1 and #2 spots. He'd have a better chance of succeding there.

Shannon's a nice piece, so is Campoli. I would take them if I was an opposing team. But wow, would I ever not want Cheechoo.

Does Brunstrom make that money no matter what, or is it only if he's in the NHL. Because if he's on a 2-way...that could be a big salary dump when we send Brunstrom to Bingo.

maybe if they had better playmaking centers in the #3 and #4 spots....

Either way it would be a good deal with about the same amount of risk for either team.

Maybe they should try dodgeball?

He's related to the Grinch apparently.

If you can dodge a wrench... you can dodge a ball...

sorry I haven't been listening, other than firing a coach, has Murray done anything to actually improve the teams chances of winning the Stanley Cup? Even with our injured players back, does anyone actually see us being contenders for the Cup-isin't that what we are trying for? Isin't it Murrays JOB to do everything he can to make this happen? I'm tired of us being a middle of the road team, it's time to do something that looks like an improvement-you can't tell me there are not other GM's out there that would be willing to deal with half the season over.

NO ONE thought we were a CUP contender this year. Absolutely no one. And if they did, they were off their meds. No way in hell would anyone think that. General consensus was that we'd duke it out for one of the bottom spots in the East.

Of course, every GM's job is to work towards building a Cup contender. No question. But, in this new cap era, you can't do that overnight like you used to.

Have you seen how many trades the teams behind us in the standings have done? Yeah, a TON!

It's easy to say, "we need to make a trade". Who do you trade and for what? You want Murray to trade our future prospects on players so right now we're not a middle of the road team? Or do you want to trade away Alfie, Spezza, Volchenkov, Philips to make us a better team.

I'm all ears to hear this magical trade solution that will turn us into a playoff contender.
