I really do see your point. I just have a more aggressive philosophy I guess.

We're both pretty aggressive when it comes to trades. I just really want a D-man now and leave the forwards alone until the summer.

Can we please have Keith Ballard?

We wouldn't want Ballard around Leclaire.

OTT looking real hard into Ballard..Kelly and Lee could be going the other way..OTT also trying to find another forward.

To NSH: Foligno and Lee
To OTT: Hamhuis

and

To EDM: Kuba, Kelly and Shannon
To OTT: Lubo and Fat Penner

Am I the only one who things Foligno for Hamhuis is overpayment in a big way from us?

The second deal is a beauty, but I doubt Kuba waives to go to Edmonton.

Huge overpayment, Hamhuis is a UFA at year's end. Why the hell would we risk losing Foligno for nothing???

Foligno is a RFA at the end of the year, and it's not clear we're going to have the money to sign everybody we want to keep from this year's roster.

The following is a list of UFA/RFA players OTT is going to have to deal with:

Volchenkov
Campoli
Regin
Foligno
Shannon
Cullen
Winchester

You also have to consider when the kids (Z. Smith, Lee, D. Smith, Cowen, etc.) are going to get a chance. It's possible that Foligno may not be in our long-term plans.

How do you like your precious Kelly now?

Okay Hoss, I could deal with Kelly going if we got Ballard.

Huh. That's an interesting one. Don't see why we'd need more forwards, or how you can move Lee when that leaves you short a D.

The (first, early) deadline comes in 18 minutes!

Isn't Ballard a D?

Thanks in advance.

What if the ducks were to put Boynton on re-entry... I would definitely pick him up then. He's a rightie, gritty, and has some playoff experience. And we would lose nothing.

make it happen if you are going to, and yeah, Ballard is a D man.

This is a better idea imo..

Ballard is signed until 2015 or something like that at 4.2M. I think Murray better be careful here.

Without reading any details he's been referred to as a bit of a headache to deal with.

Isn't Ballard the guy who almost killed Vokoun by swinging his stick across his head? Is he worth Kelly and Lee? His numbers don't look all that hot.
