Unless Washington is willing to part with Alzner or Carlson, I see no reason for us to move Sam. If Hamrlik or Schultz is what they are offering, Gagner's name shouldn't even approach the table if I am Tambo.
Like anything it's a rumour. Derek Van Diest reported it a few minutes ago.
Although, seeing the return Kostitsyn got, the rumoured return for Hemsky seems to make sense.
I don't get why people keep comparing Hemsky with Andrei Kostitsyn. Kostitsyn has never been close to the production Hemmer has been putting up since the lockout.
Sure, Hemmer has had a bad year and has an injury-prone tag on him, but his numbers are lightyears ahead of Kostitsyn's.

Like it or not that's how far his value has dropped. I agree that Hemsky is better than AK, but it doesn't matter what I think only what other GMs are willing to give.
Plus the rumoured return for Hemsky is better than what AK was traded for so I guess they think Hemsky is a bit better.

They aren't even comparables imo. Two totally different players.
Team 1260 just said the best offer for Hemsky was a 2nd and 4th (from Nashville) and that's why they decided to keep him.
I'm even more glad they signed him to that two year deal.
I honestly doubt anyone knows (or will know) for sure what the best offer was for Hemsky... but I wouldn't doubt a 2nd and a 4th (or a 2nd and a minor prospect) was the best return they had on the table.
I think the Oilers would have moved him if a 1st or decent dman would have been coming back.

Bang on. Hemsky >> Kostitsyn
Wonder what Suter is thinking, and seeing if this is the only move and commitment the NSH management has tried to improve the team, no way Suter want to re-sign there.
Not even want to give a mid 1st round pick for a better upgrade and just make a half a$$ effort to get Kostitsyn. Obviously the team is saying we worry about the future more than the present.

Lebrun's saying NSH isn't done. I know it's slow but that's jumping to conclusions a little I'd say.

I bet Suter is waiting more than one trade to see what else Poille is going to do and then even if no trades get done he is waiting to see how the new additions add to the team before bailing.
NSH gets to the conference final with this team you think Suter is going to say " piss on NSH they only added gill and Kostitsyn"?
The entire TSN panel systematically ripping on the Flames prospect pool. I guess it isn't only us and Nuck fans that can recognize this. Flames fans are probably in hysterics over what they said about their good "young team."
