I had Isles typed in and this person says:

Then i saw this person write the same thing but with #wgr550

I tuned in online and they are talking about Sabres draft moves and stuff like that, but I haven't heard anything on the Isles yet....

WGR550 is Buffalo's local sports radio station but I am listening right now and they haven't said a word about it.

Gagner just had an 8 point game. The fourth is to balance for the size difference.

Oh lord. I'll trade you Tangradi for Hall and a 2nd to make up for size difference.

Then if they draft Ryan Murray tonight then Butch Goring will have his head spinning all season...

I think we could get more for Murray than an early 3rd, there are a handful of other teams who would be interested.

Can anyone update on the buffalo radio station rumor?

[IslesNorway]

I think what the Isles are offering are midround picks and a prospect or two for a top four guy on a reasonable deal.

Then, what have you got to offer?

They have not mentioned it at all. Pretty sure the rumor is bogus.

Hmm I wonder if Snow would trade the 2nd round (34th pick) and 3rd round (65th pick) to the Leafs for Cody Franson.

Leopold?

WGR550 is a Buffalo radio station. But yeah, Leo could be had for pretty cheap. He's not particularly exceptional at any one thing, but he can eat a lot of minutes.

4th overall





Joni Pitkanen
8th Overall

I obviously would do this in a heartbeat but I dont think Rutherford makes that trade .

Thanks for being the hundredth poster to make that joke in this thread. Solid stuff.

Preferably just the 2nd. I like Franson, he'd be a good fit with Streit.

He's stated he wouldn't be totally against it for the right price

Paul Martin for Matt Martin and a 2nd.

Wouldn't do it for Martin straight up.

Not even for the 2nd. I can't see Snow trading for Martin after the crap of two years ago.

Too bad. They make too much sense as trading partners.

Cheers,

D00d quit trying to rip them off, we are trying to build relations here.

Sorry NYI fans, he meant to say that WSH will be adding the stick tape.

IMO, he's probably quite close to what Ballard would fetch. I said before, Ballard will be a steal for whomever gets him because his value is in the toilet.

Rediculous speed and skill.

The team that's finished bottom of the league for three years, that's who. Even if the value were good (and it's not for NYI, IMO) that's a terrible move for the Oilers to make.

You read my mind

[Corncob]

Come taste the wine,
Come hear the band.
Come blow your horn,
Start celebrating;
Right this way,
Your table's waiting

No use permitting
some prophet of doom
To wipe every smile away.
Come hear the music play.
Life is a Kaberle, old chum,
Come to the Kaberle!
