So, Salo is expendable next season.

if we are healthy, he might be expendable at the deadline...

nothing like be a winning team that can be a 'seller' at the trade deadline to really stock up on picks and prospects...

anyone hear of how his knee is yet?

Cowan has cleared waivers and Vigneault said the team is exploring "all possibilities as far as getting Jeff a place to play. Manitoba is one of those possibilities, but we are also looking at some other possibilities."

I doubt we could get a half bag of pucks for him....

Keep him on the Moose?

well, a whole whack of players just hit the waiver wire... Pepperpot Pete (scheafer), Aaron Downey, Kyle McLaran... all guys whit hit the wire yesterday. A much better chance of sneaking a couple guys like Pettinger and Krog through now...

looking at it again, the 4th line could also be brown-Wellwood-Johnson... wellwood for faceoffs, and PP, and the 4 minutes of ice on the 4th line a nght... if we could have kept Pettinger up (somehow.. or prolly recall him after Rypien gets hurt), leave the third line alone and a 4th of Pettinger-We...

so thats the team then eh? with Nycolate on the IR (or he will be tomorrow)...

Danrik-Bernier
Raymond-Demitra-Pyatt
Burrows-Kesler-Hanson
Brown-Johnson-Hordi
Rypien - Wellwood

Ohlund-Edler
Mitchell - BXA
Salo- O'Brien
Davidson

Luongo
Sanford

lol... so here i am... wasting timne at work... perusing the nux pictures... (very cool)

and for the first time I noticed,

Not only does the ice girl have a head, she skates cross-eyed

gotta like that icegirl

Atlanta ended up giving up assets for what they could have had for free days before.
Granted those assets included Ken Klee....

Is Atlanta first on the waiver wire?

while those players wil be tough opponents, unless we get some overachievers at the right time, that team is going nowhere in the playoffs. With the 7 guys of second line talent that we have, I would like to see a couple of them packaged off to upgrade on the second line talent level. In my mind (an...

why the first round pick???

They didn't do us any favors last year when we were allbanged up. Bend them over....

you would think that the shaking will happen sooner, rather than later..... heck If MG is working the phones, (and I am sure he is), perhaps he can shake one loose.. I would like to see a trade of one of our cheap 2nd line guys (Pyatt is the top of my list) for a legit scorer... I just have no idea ...

The team will gove him a conditioning test either today or tomorrow... if he has shown improvement from his last set of tests, he sticks.. if not.....

I guess we will see at the end of the week...

well, with Bieksa's contract setting the bar, Ollie will get 4.5 next year.

As to trading our D, a solid 'no' from MCP here.... Trade Pyatt and a prospect for an upgrade on Pyatt... thats the key to this team.
