Leafs acquired JM Liles for a 2nd round pick. I would have liked for us to pull that trade off. Of course then we would absolutely have to move Spacek. A 2nd rounder for him or even a 3rd and pouliot or something would have been worth it

I would like to acquire Burns from MIN to possibly play with Markov

Burns was already acquired by SJ and by the looks of what they gave up, it would cost us Pacioretty ++.

Liles isn't a bad deal, although if we were interested in that kind of player I would just re-sign Wiz who is younger and is a right hand shot.

I did not think MIN was going to get as much for Burns as they did. I definitely would not have given up Pacioretty+ for him. And that is a good point about Wiz.

Trade gomez and kristo maybe a late pick for taylor pyatt.

sign brad richards 7.5 mil

trade whatever new jersey wants for zack parise... (leblanc and a 1st, add to it if needed)

if we cant get parise than sign jagr

or do any other combo to get rid of gomez.. sign a new centre, lw, grinder and backup goalie.

parise richards gionta

pacioretty plekanec cammalleri

kostitsyn eller desharnais

white (taylor)pyatt moen

markov gorges

subban gill

spacek weber

yemelin, diaz

price

backup

we are also set for defence in the future with tinordi, subban, weber and beaulieu

putting us at about 60mil and room to dump contracts in the future....(kostitsyn, moen, spacek) in order to resign some of our younger players.

I like the thought, but IMO, we would be way overpaying to get Parise and Pyatt. Gomez and Kristo is too much for Pyatt, and I would rather take Leblanc and a first rounder than Parise, as good as he is. We would have a really deep offense, but our depth beyond the Canadiens, which is very important, would not be good at all.

Truthfully speaking without resigning at least Hamrlik, Wiz, or equivalent our D core is abysmal.

Markov - Gorges

Subban - Gill

Spacek - Weber

Last year our top scorer had 57 points.... thats not in the least bit exciting. We should be desperately seeking a star to play on our top line. Our depth, goaltending, and role players are great.

If PG could find any kind of trade for Gomez, I think afterwards he should look at getting Jarret Stoll out of LA. With Richards and Kopitar there now they have to be willing to part with him and it probably wont take too much. He has 1 year left on his contract with a cap hit of under half of Gomez's at 3.6M. I don't know exactly what I would offer but he is definitely better than Gomez at 7.3M and it would give Eller and/or DD time to develop before taking on the 2nd line centre role.

id say dont go after hammer and get bieksa, perhaps shipping spacek somewhere like floride or winnepeg? then offer bieksa a 5 mil 5 year contract?

ya but he will get at least that with the Canucks and they will contend for the cup again next year and a few years to come, for him to sign here on a non contending team we would have to up the money

well Emelin will be on the blueline next year so right now for sure we will start with Markov Emelin Gorges Gill Subban... as for Spacek you have to imagine we would be trying to move his salary this summer.

If i was P.G i would definetly try something like this:

Price(2,75M)-J.D.Desleuriers(0,75M)

Markov(5,75M)-Gorges(2,75M)

Subban(0,80M)-Gill(2,75M)

Hamrlik(1,75M)-Weber(1,0M)

EX:Spacek(3,8M)-Emelin(1,0M)

Laich(4,25M)-Plekanec(5,00M)-Cammalleri(6,00M)

Pacioretty(1,50M)-Gomez(7,37M)-Gionta(5,00M)

Kostitsyn(3,25M)-Eller(1,25M)-Desharnais(0,70M)

Moen(1,5M)-Konopka(1,5M)-White(0,70M)

EX:Darche(0,70M)-Pouliot(0,9M)

total cap hit:<59,50M

total cap space:<4,8M

ADVANTAGES:

1. Lots of space for next year (re-sign Price-Subban, sign UFA)

2. Very strong special teams (pp-pk with Laich) and (f/o % with Konopka)

3. Every forward line has a big body in Laich-Pacioretty-Kostitsyn-Moen

4. Very gritty 4th energy line with all players not shy to drop gloves

BEST CASE SENARIOS:

1. Move Spacek for late pick and add a total of 8,5M in space (maybe add another top player)

2. Have the cash to adjust at tradeline in case injuries or bad performance.

THOUGHTS:

1. Upgrade from last season, and in very good position to be in 2012-2013 a top-5 cotender.

2. With some chemistry,luck of injuries and strong gaoltending,a very possible playoff berth and maybe a long run.

I agree with your thinking there...Parise is a better than all of our forwards. He plays like Gionta (meaning with much heart), but has more talent and size. I don't see that our next 1st rounder will be as good as Parise, since we probably won't be drafting very high (again). Also, Leblanc isn't exactly projected to be superstar material. He's still a question mark. I would have no problem giving up a first and Leblanc in this case.

Kovalev- 1 or 2 yrs @ 3.0 M

Konopka or Handzus 2 Yrs @ 2.5 M

Dan Carcillo not qualified by the Flyers, who appear to be continuing to overhaul and create cap space... would personally pass on him just because I think he takes too many undisciplined penalties, but could be another option towards re-building the 4th line for the playoffs if we so chose...

well we need to look at all options for building our bottom 6 forwards into players that are strong tough create energy and cause problems for the opposition, right now we dont have that

I don't think Carcillo would be a good it, mainly due to the penchant he has for bad penalties. JM wouldn't put up with a player like that.

Besides, think of all the bad blood he'd be bringing to the locker room.

IMO Jagr, Gorges, and Konopka could all be signed for less giving us some breathing room for the cap. If we can dump Gomez and Spacek, we could get another really good depth guy with that money.

MIN just put Cam Barker on waivers. Wouldn't mind picking him up.

They put him on waivers with the intention of buying him out. Might as well wait, but I'm not sure how good he is. He had an atrocious season in Minny, so bad that they want to buy him out.

Similar to what I said about us and Benny, Barker is still a young player with a lot of talent. With the right team, he could become a very good player. I don't think he really fits in here right now, but if we could move Spacek, he becomes more attractive as an option.

My lineup

Forwards:

Andrei Kostitsyn ($3.250m) / Tomas Plekanec ($5.000m) / Mike Cammalleri ($6.000m)

Brian Gionta ($5.000m) / David Desharnais ($0.550m) / Max Pacioretty ($1.500m)

Patrick O'Sullivan ($0.500m) / Lars Eller ($1.270m) / Mathieu Darche ($0.700m)

Tyler Sloan ($0.700m) / Brian Boyle ($0.750m) / Yannick Weber ($1,200m)

Ryan White ($0.850m)

DEFENSEMEN

Andrei Markov ($5.500m) / Alexei Yemelin ($0.984m)

P.K. Subban ($0.875m) / Hal Gill ($2.250m)

James Wisniewski ($3.250m) / Josh Gorges ($1.500m)

Jaroslav Spacek ($3.833m)

The 4th line is a checking line with 2 dmen who can sub into the lineup if any dmen go down or

get kicked out of the game. This line should get penalty killing time and that would cut down on

using the top lines and wearing them out killing penalties. Also Boyle could be used as net presence

on power plays, so we are getting a lot of utility from this line and it gives us options. Gomez is gone

you play or you're outta here.

Patrick O'Sullivan has great hands and a good shot and he might fit in here. If Gomez gets to play, ugg, then Patrick O'Sullivan could be a better fit with Gionta as linemates than Kostitsyn was. I know that Gauthier has offered Hamrlik a 1 year deal, but I feel that Hamrlik is done, too slow and too old. Go with Wisniewski who at 27 years old has not even hit his prime yet. I now have 9 dmen and 8 are playing and that has to provide dividends down the stretch. If we can get some big talent great, but there is going to be lots of competition for those high end players.

Cammi-Pleks-Patches

AK-Eller-Gionta

Talbot-Desharnais-Darche

White-Kanopka-Moen

If we can dump Gomez it would be great! Eller and AK played great together and adding a speedy scorer like Gio might make it a good second line.

Pleks and Cammis chemistry along with Patches size and grit could be a great, young, fast first line.

3rd line gives us a bit of scoring depth and a line of hard workers.

4th is a very physical shutdown line that NO ONE in the league would want to play against.

We save loads of money by dumping Gomez and only adding Konopka and Talbot.
