westernleafsfan Posted July 23, 2008 Report Share Posted July 23, 2008 I just came across this rumour on the sports site of the swiss national television homepage, so it's only in german. It doesn't say much, but what it says is quite intriguing to say the least. According to this article there might be a three way deal in the making between Chicago, Los Angeles and Ottawa. It would look like this: To Chicago: Anze Kopitar To Los Angeles: Martin Gerber To Ottawa: Nikolai Khabibulin I don't think that it's going to happen just player for player straight up. IMHO LA would be dumb. I couldn't understand if they traded Kopitar in the first place but if they do, then there should be something more involved coming their way... - Trade rumours concerning Antoine Vermette anyone? But honestly, I can't see the Kings accepting that trade, not after they shipped center Cammalleri to Calgary just this off-season.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mauro-Biello Posted July 23, 2008 Report Share Posted July 23, 2008 wow.... Like yeah LA should definately receive more... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FlHabsFan Posted July 23, 2008 Report Share Posted July 23, 2008 I cant picture them shipping off Gerber and taking on Khabi. Not for $6m on his last season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gracie12 Posted July 23, 2008 Report Share Posted July 23, 2008 lol. 2 weeks ago it was Kopitar & LA was at least going to get Gerber & a young dman. Not often that a ridiculous rumor gets worse! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael19Cammalleri67 Posted July 23, 2008 Report Share Posted July 23, 2008 More realistic: To Chicago: Anze Kopitar To Los Angeles: Martin Gerber 1st round pick 2009 2nd round pick 2009 To Ottawa: Nikolai Khabibulin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

westernleafsfan Posted July 23, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 23, 2008 More realistic: To Chicago: Anze Kopitar To Los Angeles: Martin Gerber 1st round pick 2009 2nd round pick 2009 To Ottawa: Nikolai Khabibulin I agree, it's more realistic but I still think LA would come short here and these picks better come from Chicago or Ottawa'd be robbed too in this trade. LA should also get a center in return instead of the 2nd rounder (or should want a center, since they already traded away Cammalleri this summer). For example: To Chicago: Anze Kopitar To Los Angeles: Martin Gerber Antoine Vermette 1st round pick 2009 (from Chicago) To Ottawa: Nikolai Khabibulin 2nd round pick 2009 (from Chicago) I still think LA would be dumb to do it, but like this it seems to be at least a little more balanced. EDIT: I know Chicago would be giving up quite a lot now, but they get a great young center with loads of potential in Kopitar and they're prospects pool is quite loaded after all those years of sucking so I guess they can afford losing the two picks... Their probably loaded enough on young talent that they could pull off a deal with another team in order to get a pick back for the '09 draft if they feel it's necessary.

SteenIsThaFuture Posted July 23, 2008 Report Share Posted July 23, 2008 If I recall the original trade was: To Ott: Khabibulin Seasbrook or Baker To LA: Gerber Meszaros To Chi: Kopitar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's exactly what I thought when I read about the trade first... and signing Finger to such a ridiculous deal isn't even close as stupid IMO. It would probably go into history as the worst salary-cap-era trade ever Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tony1234 Posted July 24, 2008 Report Share Posted July 24, 2008 If they are giving away Kopitar just maybe we could get Brown for Dandy and Bubbles !!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

koreysecord1992 Posted July 26, 2008 Report Share Posted July 26, 2008 Kopitar for Gerber would be, hands down, one of the funniest trades in the history of the world. I'd love to be Chicago in that deal!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
