but no one actually thinks we have a chance at signing Suter right?
With last year's experience, I'm afraid we will waste our time pursuing him, panic, and then give Alexander Sulzer a 6 year, 30 million dollar contract
You think this team is a contender next year? or do you think they should re-sign Roy?
Who do you think has more value at the deadline if we are out of a playoff spot : Roy or Iginla
Who do you think will provide more leadership, scoring, and "playoff style hockey" if we make the playoffs?

7 million in cap hit mitigates the difference in point production, and I'd rather have a center than a winger any day. Add to that the difference in age, and it's a polite no. Iginla isn't putting this team over the top.

add, more goal scoring, more size, more strength, more grit, more leadership, more experience, more of everything this team lacks...
Both are UFA at the end of the year

To start we would have to give:
Buffalo 1st
Nashville 1st
CGY 2nd
Mcnabb
Armia
and I still dont think they even think about it before saying no. At least I wouldnt. Theres no way they should trade Couture, Kid is a Franchise number 1 center. As hard as it is to think the Sabres could trade Myers its even hard to think the Sharks would trade Couture... I dont even know what I would do if we could pull a trade off for Couture without trading away Myers.

agree, if they want Myers we ask for Couture+, if we want Couture they ask for Myers+
players like this don't get traded often if at all.
