1.2 in savings, 4.something in cap space and 10.3 pro-rated at the deadline, so they'll be getting another D-man. The question is: who?

Hopefully Kuba....oh please be Kuba!!!!!

I'll drink a glass of my urine if we can parlay Kuba into a solid prospect like Kreider.

I'm putting that in my sig for future reference!

Boom!

I'll admit, Kreider would be ridiculous.

If you were the Rags, would you make that trade?

There's deals and then there's deals that make sense for the club. The deals Murray is looking to make, or rather, has been instructed to make, won't be easy and will probably have to wait until closer to the deadline.

What about the last 3+ months though when he could have "improved" the team?

3+ months ago was when the season had just started... not many trades made right out of the gate. How many trades have been made that were of any significance? Langenbrunner for a 3rd? That's about it isn't it?

No, I see your point. But it seems like Murray is a day late and a dollar short. He can talk all he likes about dollar-for-dollar trades, but obviously they happen. It's just frustrated to see a deal like we saw today with two teams addressing needs while making it work for both parties cap/money wise.

The last laugh goes to hemlock if it's webcast to a German audience for big money.

I hear ya... I wonder if Melnyk is the reason for a lot of that... who knows... Murray's trades just have not worked out the way we all hoped.

What if the sens could have gotten wolski for kuba, straight up....would ppl be happy?

I'd rather not think about having an owner with GM envy. :****:

Nope. It's all about the future assets please and thank you.

And that's why this deal was made today... no future assets changing hands... unwanted player for unwanted player... cap/salary savings for each.

Which makes me doubt that we'll be able to trade anyone for draft picks/prospects.

Those will be handed out like Florida Panthers tickets at the deadline.
