Not sure anyone outside of Lee is expendable on the blue line...let's keep in mind that last night was a bounce back game for Karlsson....he's looked atrocious without Kuba over this last stretch. Trading Gonchar doesn't make sense this early...unless someone comes to us with a nice package.

Not sure what to give here either. Apparently it's a roster player + 1st round pick - which is too much, we should absolutely not be giving up that 1st rounder unless it's part of a package for some like Parise, Ryan, someone already established and successful.

I still maintain too that if Regin regains his health and builds up some more strength, he'll be a damn good player. It'll be interesting to track Regin vs Turris in their careers.

I would do Regin for Turris straight up...Regin with his injury issues and Turris with apparent attitude issues seems fair...I know Turris is projected to be a real player but a hold out this early in his career is definitely a concern. Giving a first rounder for him straight up would be a risk at this point, especially with Murray and crew's drafting abilities. They were saying last night that Phoenix is looking for equal money deal...not sure where that puts us.

On paper, if that was offered, we do it right away, but I doubt they'd settle for less than Regin + 2nd rounder - and I'm hesitant, I don't really care what anyone says about Turris.

How does wanting to play in a legit hockey market get such a bad response. He wants to play somewhere where the fans care and fans everywhere lambast the kid with ignorant (no offense) hate. It's nonsense.

No sense worrying about this any more.
