I thought we already have a Bernier?

We've shown interest in Sam Gagner? News to me.

Oh I see Everson reported it. But I don't see Lou trading for him at his highest value.

I do see us trading for someone like Lindback...but in the offseason.

[Devils Trap]

The fact Gagner can RW intriguiges me

His value is through the roof because of two good games

I don't have anything against Prospal, but I was joked about how teams seemed to do better without him.

He's in Tampa for 2002-03, signs with Anaheim that offseason. Tampa wins the Cup, Anaheim misses the playoffs after making the Cup Finals.

Rejoins Tampa after the lockout and they fail to win a round. Anaheim wins Cup in 2007. Rangers make the playoffs in 2009, sign Prospal, miss the playoffs in 2010.

This guy?

[DevilsAnimal*]

FacePalm, Teddy, and a 2nd for lindback?

[The Mad Crapper]

Tedenby, Urbom & our 3rd for Suter.

[MJB Devils23*]

We're not doing anything at the deadline. There's nothing out there we can afford.

Would it take much to pry Hal Gill from Montreal? What would we have to give up for Jack Johnson?

Hal Gill does nothing for us. He's a PK guy, one area we don't need help.

No it's not. Those 11 points represent a third of his production this year. No GM is going to break the bank because he had a flukey game.

Way too much for a goalie prospect, even as good as Lindback might be.

The #1 D-man is the obvious player we all want, but I wouldn't mind acquiring some bottom 6 talent. Ideally in a swap for some of our current bottom 6 talent.

I want more proven bottom 6 players like Ponikarovsky and fewer recycled AHL players like Brad Mills. We have an abundance of bottom 6-ers, but none of them are particularly good.

Top 6: Kovy, Parise, Elias, Henrique, Zubrus, Sykora
Bottom 6: Zajac, Ponikarovsky, Josefson, Carter

I really like what Bernier has done since joining the team. Hopefully he keeps it going and sticks around. That being said, we still need one more. Everyone else is pretty much useless.

Exactly. A classic Lou move.

Yeah, I wouldn't want him unless we give up pennies. We're average in terms of goals allowed and I don't think Gill would improve us much more than that.

A #1 D-man, on the other hand, would easily put us in the top 10 while also contributing offensively. Like Suter.

why the hell would the preds be dumb enough to move suter when they have another legit shot at the cup this year

Because if he walks, they'll have nothing
If they trade him, they have assets to work with

[GM17*]

Bremier? Alright.

Parise

We are better off losing him for nothing.

[vonbonds]

Nashville is a buyer this year. I see them keeping Suter like we keep Parise. Nashville really has an interesting team. Imagine if they could spend to the cap with the pieces they have in place today. Hell...watch them keep Suter and Weber.

[devs4L]

Haven't been on the boards much lately. Visnovsky would be such a great pickup by Lou. I'm a little confused though. TFP says he has a full NMC, yet capgeek doesn't list him as having any NMC. Pretty sure capgeek did have him listed as having a NMC at one time though. Was it an error that they fixed?

[åboriginal]

vis would be great. and hes able to dictate where he ends up.
