GAME DAY: Ottawa Senators @ New Jersey Devils - 1:00pm ET - Mon. Feb. 18th, 2013

We need a puck mover now for the right side. It would really help our breakout.

Wing is a lot easier than playing center, it isn't close.

Oh I agree. What I mean to say is that a centerman playing wing could be way out of position and hurt the team but that's what practices are for....

Also, the price just went up on Bishop. You wanna wait? Fine, you risked the price going up - and it did. The kid looks great.

The price didn't go up much just like it didn't go down after his first start.

The price didn't really go up or down, Murray has had his own price for a while. I think any move for ROR will need Bishop being moved first for a couple draft picks.

I dunno, that's two huge starts in a row for a young, under control goaltender. Perhaps Murray has always stuck to one price or perhaps that price is creeping up - which would be my opinion right now.

If the price creeps up, it's because multiple interested teams will run up the price bidding for Bishop. Murray isn't going to take less than what he paid to get Bishop. He'll wait til the deadline to see who really needs a goalie and who is just kicking tires.

Would Colorado consider Bishop and DaCosta? That's a high payment... but I can't believe the Leafs could have the players to get ROR. They don't want to trade Gardiner... who else do they have? Kadri?

They'd want a lot more than that I think.

They want a roster player(forward or D). Don't think DaCosta qualifies. Burke didn't want to trade Gardiner, not sure about Nonis. They might be more inclined to do so since they have Rielly now.

They don't need a goalie, they have no D since EJ is out (Shane O'Brien is in their top pairing).

It would cost us Wiercioch or maybe even Cowen from their POV or Silf/Zib. We're not giving up anything of value with Bishop or DaCosta, they are. Players like ROR don't hit the market very often at all. Sherman will have many choices.

Really depends on if Avalanche scouts like our prospects more than anyone else's.

I love Da Costa, but he's not a 'high prospect'. He's a guy that if the Avs are smart, they have a file on and they ask for him instead of a 3rd tacked on. It'd be Zibanejad + Wiercioch + 3rd or Da Costa - even then I think it's probably not enough, hard to say. That's at least in the ballpark.

OReilly was their leading scorer last year, plus one of the leaders as well as a terrific defensive player.
We're not getting him for DaCosta who has 1 goal and Bishop who's played 3 games.

Holy S_HIT! What a shot!

Spring loaded mofo.

LW is perfect for Silfverbeg. Cuts down the middle, shoots the laser beam. Keep him there
