Dregers top 10 likely to be moved before the deadline

I've got to say that if Mueller is up for grabs Murray should look into sending Campoli the other way. Maybe Murray can pull a fast one and see if he can get Mueller and Staal. for Campi. Its also a shame that Turco's cap hit is so high. He would be good insurance in case Leclaire can't regain his confidence.

As I've said, Campoli has shown that the more he plays the better he is. He'll probably make about 1.5 million, tops, and still be a Top 4 D-Man. I would hang on to him for dear life unless he's part of a deal for a true number 1.

Here's hoping Campoli continues to develop and we can get one more cheap contract out of him as well.

He's RFA and making 667, I think. And he's really only coming around now. That should make for a cheap contract this summer.

Sorry for my bad grammar there. What I meant to say was: I hope you're right and Campoli continues to develop because we'll be able to get one more cheap contract out of him and you need those underpaid over performers on your team in order to be successful right?

Ive ripped Campoli all year (well up to Dec) but he is getting better. Maybe Murray was looking at that trade as a 3, 4, 5 year project. Maybe he turns into a Rafalski later on with expiernece, confidence, so on... He's been really solid though and I would def hold onto him based on what he is making and what he will be making. Good on him.

No. I understood you. I was just asking what kind of deal we might get away with, in your opinion.

It's getting tougher to imagine moving any of our players now but you have to really look at each players entire season and not just the few feel-good games they may have had recently.

All I keep hearing is how Calgary needs a Center and I just can't convince myself that offering them Spezza + for Phaneuf + would be a bad idea.

Bob McKenzie thinks Ribeiro might be a fit there, so perhaps a Phaneuf for Ribeiro and Niskanen swap would work better?

1) Ilya Kovalchuk - LA Kings



2) Ray Whitney - Pittsburgh Penguins



3) Peter Mueller - stays in Phoenix



4) Matt Stajan - ???



5) Alexei Ponikarovsky - Detroit



6) Matt Cullen - ???



7) Lubomir Visnovsky - NJ Devils



8) Sheldon Souray - Washington Capitals



9) Ethan Moreau - Nowhere



10) Marty Turco - ???
11) Paul Karya - ???

I echo you guys, I've been increasingly impressed with Campoli. I hope he can continue his fine play and that we can sign him to a cheap contract.

No one else has a guess as to where these guys are going?

1) Ilya Kovalchuk - Chicago
2) Ray Whitney - Pittsburgh Penguins
3) Peter Mueller - Atlanta
4) Matt Stajan - St. Louis
5) Alexei Ponikarovsky - Washington
6) Matt Cullen - Calgary
7) Lubomir Visnovsky - NJ Devils
8) Sheldon Souray - LA
9) Ethan Moreau - NYI
10) Marty Turco - Chicago
11) Paul Kariya - Colorado

Turco to Chicago? I'd rather stick with their current tandem. Turco is broken down and the Hawks are winning, so why mess with that?

Kovalchuk to the Hawks is pretty well a Stanley Cup imo. They could easily match the Caps offensively and their d-corps is superior by a good margin.

I agree. Personally, I don't have a problem with Chicago's goaltending but all the "experts" seem to.

The goal by Regin last week got me agreeing with the "experts"

Speaking of experts, the "Inside Man" says Kariya will be a Senator.
