That said, I really really hope this drives up the bidding war for him. Keep him till the deadline.

Prediction: Phillips for Subban

more to come

Does that help or hinder our...P.K?

can we also give them kovalev? please?

Funny stuff going on here.

If they give up Subban they will have go back to that annoying ole ole ole chant instead of chanting his name. Oh wait, they still do that.

Louis Leblanc for Phillips

Buzz Killlington over here

I HATE not having a playoff series to look forward to and you may have noticed that I'm super-enthusiastic about "tanking" or buying into pretty much any draft pick under the sun being a sure thing as many here seem to think.

BUT, I think we have a really good opportunity to realize value for players that are good and even (incredibly) players that are not so good. So I'm going with that sentiment.

I'm not too excited at this point in time. We'll be like Toronto next year. Younger but just as Dung as the year before.

The problems and overall lack of talent on this team can't be fixed by the start of next season.

But we'll have a much more positive future going forward which is good.

Thanks So anyways, I want 2 firsts, Lars Eller, AND P.K. Subban for Phillips. That should make Boston shit their pants and offer us toronto's first rounder

Can you imagine? That would be just sick - although totally unrealistic.

Kelly AND Phillips to SJ? What would that be worth, because as much as I'm against trading Kelly, the Sharks need him very badly. Ever since Malhotra's been gone.

Sounds fair to me.

Now let's talk about where those new players will fit into the Sens lineup and figure out who we are drafting with those new picks Ottawa just obtained.

Are the draft choices NHL ready? Oh man, this is going to be fun. Stanley Cup Champions in 2011-12.

I'm thinking something like this:

FORWARDS
Milan Michalek ($4.333m) / Jason Spezza ($7.000m) / Bobby Butler ($0.900m)
Brad Boyes ($4.000m) / Zach Parise ($3.125m) / Daniel Alfredsson ($4.875m)
Nick Foligno ($1.200m) / Mike Fisher ($4.200m) / Chris Neil ($2.000m)
Zack Smith ($0.583m) / Chris Kelly ($2.125m) / Peter Regin ($1.000m)
Lars Eller ($1.270m) / Jesse Winchester ($0.750m)

DEFENSEMEN
Chris Phillips ($3.500m) / P.K. Subban ($0.875m)
Sergei Gonchar ($5.500m) / Erik Karlsson ($1.300m)
Matt Carkner ($0.700m) / Jared Cowen ($1.295m)
Brian Lee ($0.875m)

GOALTENDERS
Ilya Bryzgalov ($4.250m) /Brian Elliott ($0.850m)

BUYOUTS: Jonathan Cheechoo ($1.166m) / Daniel Alfredsson ($0.700m) / Ray Emery ($0.562m)

Ottawa drafted Landeskog and Armia but sent them to the AHL. With the other 1st Ottawa obtained in 2012 from Montreal, they will most likely draft a little-known guy named Nail Yakupov.

I can't believe I just wasted 7 minutes doing this post. Haha.

I hope you enjoyed it.

Are you just asking at random or did you read something?

Cuss PK Subban, how about we all just wait for Rundblad. I don't like Subban, I'd take him to re-trade him, that's about it.

Big Ev wrote:Are you just asking at random or did you read something?

Asking. I'm going through scenarios in my head to fill needs - and Kelly to the Sharts makes a ton of sense. So does Phillips - and if they can swing it, they could also use Kuba ( ). In other words, they're in trouble and desperate teams can be BIG spenders.

I can't believe it's not butter.

I can't believe Murray was able to get Parise up to Ottawa without a raise and without New Jersey matching the RFA offer.

All hail Bryan Murray.
