I kind of am now of the opinion that anyone older than farabee can go any time now. If we keep whitecloud, please move Weegar. Tear it down.

Whiteclouds contract and the fact he has no trade protection should make him a very attractive option to a lot of teams

IIRC Buffalo wanted him in a different trade at one point too.

Lots of teams looking for RH dmen could be interested

And BUF has gotten themselves into the playoff picture - they HAVE to jump on that and make a push

Can't remember, but did someone post that Whitecloud doesn't have trade protection?

Coleman + Whitecloud to Dallas could be very nice

How is this team not already torn down. There are only two top end players on the entire team. Weegar and Wolf.

If Misa was on the table for Weegar he’d be gone by now

LOL. I sure hope the Oilers offer him that.

Would do Whitecloud a solid as well placing him with a contender. That’s a win cycle of a deal depending on the return. Flames would probably get a Christmas card from Whitecloud’s agent next year.

Andersson settled, acceptable return, no homerun.

Now, trade Kadri and Coleman.

See, this is the type of thinking that leads to the upset reactions we get when the player gets traded for fair value. Unrealistic expectations.

There is a salary cap. Can't trade them all.

I dont think you are getting a Danielson type, but some of the "B" prospects that have been discussed I dont think are far fetched. If the team wants to bolster their RHD, and there isnt many available. You take the Andersson ask, drop the "A" components and i think you have a bsis.

How it took basically a year to realize that he was not going to sign an extension with anybody is beyond me again. Do players just act like little girls and cant ever decide anything until they absolutely have to?

Oh well, onto the next.....will Conroy and co learn that maybe trading guys the year before they are UFA could be a good idea? I hope so.

Well, guess we will just sit back now that the biggest trade chip in the trade market went for a song. Let see the rest of the trades league wide unfold at the deadline.

I guarantee this trade is gonna stick out in a bad way.

If you get bad contracts back you can.
