Trade Rumors and Free Agent TalkTrade rumors, transactions, and free agent talk. Rumors must contain the word RUMOR in post title. Proposals must contain the word PROPOSAL in post title.
Considering the plethora of good trades Sutter has done, because he makes a couple of brain-dead ones last trade deadline when he seemed to be desperate to shake up locker-room chemistry and make the playoffs, he's suddenly tweedle dumb? Really? Just before that people were singing his praises with his quick and shrewd move to acquire Bouwmeester's rights.
Short memories on HF.
Rumour has it (as per the President of the Flames in an info session), the Flames will be going after a top guy this free agency. We'll have to see, I suppose. At least he's not afraid to make a splash (and they've been good splashes more often than not), unlike 3/4 of the rest of the league in worse positions.
What would we possibly want from Calgary?Iginila and Bouwmeester make too much unless its Redden or Roszival going the other way. Maybe Niemesz or Backlund.
It doesn't surprise me that this is your first post. Like we would give you Iggy and Bo. Then you want us to take Reddens garbage contract on? LEARN.
SATHER: Hey Darryl. It's Slats... How's the summer treatin' ya?
SUTTER: Oh, hey. Not too bad, I guess... Chasing after some things for tomorrow. How about you? Anything big going on?
SATHER: Nah. July 1 isn't a good day for me. The last time I went for the big fish, I ended up signing a homeless guy who thought he was Wade Redden to a six-year contract.
SUTTER: Yeah, that was a good one, wasn't it? One of my finest hours.
SATHER: Sure, real funny. I got you back with the traffic cone dressed as Kotalik, though.
SUTTER: True that.
SATHER: ... Holy ****! I just noticed this hobo standing outside my window and staring at me!
SUTTER: Yikes! That's New York for you. Couldn't happen here, though, since Klein had them all killed.
SATHER: Haha... That crazy drunk.
SUTTER: For sure. Wait a minute... Is this hobo writing on a notepad?
SATHER: Yeah... Keeps mumbling something about saving the Predators.
SUTTER: That's no hobo. That's Eklund.
SATHER: Pelle?
SUTTER: Nah. He's this supposed "insider" who makes up trade rumours and charges morons to hear about them.
SATHER: Oh, right, I've heard of him. Ten bucks says that he'll have some vague, cryptic thing up on his site about us within 10 minutes.
SUTTER: No kidding, eh? Anyway, I'm gonna let you go. I gotta meet with this guy... Having a hit put out on Eric Francis.
SATHER: Sounds good. Before you go, you wanna trade for Drury? He's pretty good.
SUTTER: Not right away. Try me after happy hour... I'll probably give you something nice.

If I had to take a stab at it, the Rangers might be looking to clear a bit of wing room for Grachev and possibly insure themselves against the Staal situation - maybe Regehr involved here somewhere.
If the center rumors are true, I'd guarantee it's either going to be Langkow or Backlund - and one of those names probably gets Sutter tarred, feathered and dragged out of Calgary on a sled.

It won't be if Langkow's involved, and I can't fathom a scenario where he would be...

Dude...chill. He's not saying that CGY would give NYR Iggy and Bo, he's just saying that those are the only two players NYR would possibly want from CGY, and even if they could somehow agree on a trade for them (which they can't), the salaries would make it impossible unless a big contract was going back the other way.
In short, he's just saying that the two teams make no sense as trading partners. No need to be attacking new members. LEARN.
Dubinsky (really has been converted to a LW, could be moved in the right deal - though not likely CGY would be that deal, not exactly a 'top line' C)
well sutter was in on versteeg, and ken king hinted sort of about tanguay as a possibility so it seems like they want a LW too so maybe dubinsky is a trade to fill that and sutter moves reg or whoever for a center in a "big splash" like they said they were doing...
