Before that could happen, The Scorpion would have to buy a plain white t-shirt with "David Moss" written across the back.

Looks like injury may prevent Sharp trade

Elliotte Friedman @FriedgeHNIC
Following DAL game tonight, team doctors will meet with Patrick Sharp about an injury that has nagged him for awhile....

Elliotte Friedman @FriedgeHNIC
@FriedgeHNIC possible he wont be traded as a result. Jim Nill declined to discuss specifics, but word is he's been honest with other teams

Elliotte Friedman
@FriedgeHNIC
@FriedgeHNIC Word is that Sharp has tried to play through it, but getting tough

Why are the Avs trading young players like Duchene and Landeskog? Rebuild the rebuild?

way too expensive I believe. That's a 2nd+ at least, and I wouldn't be surprised if the Wings hold out for a 1st. That's not worth it IMO.

If Sharp is out, I hope they do nothing tomorrow. Neither Iginla nor Vrbata clearly improve this team IMO.

How does Vrbata not improve our bottom 6?

He'd lead the team in scoring.

You don't think Vrbata is an upgrade on our RW? You need to look at his numbers.

Vrbata is going to command a huge price tag and really has not been consistently good outside of Arizona. That's a risk the Pens or Sharks could probably take, not this team at its current stage.

Who does he replace? Ferland, Frolik, Brouwer, Chaisson?

He is not a 4th liner. Maybe he fits with Monahan and Gaudreau but Ferland up there is better having a big body on the line that will stand up for his teammates is important considering the liberties other teams have taken with Gaudreau this year

I know his numbers. Spends 3 minutes per game on the PP, no PK time. I really don't see him being a fit on the bottom six, and in terms of top six ... well. Last year he wasn't good enough anymore to play with the Sedins, so let's say I'm a bit skeptical.

He's cheap though, so if they think they absolutely have to add somebody, then he'd be my pick I guess.

That list is super weak, only ones interest me Vanek, Vrbata if the cost is super low. Otherwise just stand pat.
