Easy Doc, you are starting to let loose the Jimmy Swaggart Hedonist side of you again. Pick up a bible, reel it in.

Hmmm maybe you're right....


"One evening King David got up from his bed and walked around on the roof of the palace. From the roof he saw a woman bathing. The woman was very beautiful and David sent someone to find out about her. The man said, “She is Bathsheba, the daughter of Eliam and the wife of Uriah the Hittite.” Then David sent messengers to get her. She came to him, and he slept with her…

In the morning David wrote a letter to Joab and sent it with Uriah. In it he wrote, 'Put Uriah out in front where the fighting is fiercest. Then withdraw from him so he will be struck down and die.'”


Thanks RD, I feel much better now.

Okay where were we....

Oh yes, I'm STILL sticking with the same trade I've been pushing since last summer:

Lu Wongo for Matthias, Petrovic, and a 2nd.

[Rumsfeld]

Luongo, Raymond and a 3rd for Weiss, decent Florida prospect and a 2nd.

[Strangelove]

Luongo, Raymond and a 3rd for Weiss, decent Florida prospect and a 2nd.

Hmmm Weiss would be a rental so I'd still insist on Petro.

It would be contingent on signing Weiss to an extension I suppose. I look at him as a high-end forward who's good at everything and can excel in various roles.

Dank Hank Kassian
Burrows Kesler Booth
Higgins Weiss Hansen
Weise Lapierre Schroeder/Malhotra/Volpatti

That gives us some offense on the second and third lines as well as the ability to play some serious SHUTDOWN HOCKEY. Pretty damn good forward roster IMO, and there's still the deadline if we want to add another element. The way Chicago's forwards are playing we might have to.

[Strangelove]

Maybe a condition 2nd if we re-sign him?

Yeah a couple of us were musing last week about acquiring Weiss and creating 3 scoring lines:

Dank Hank Kassian
Higgins Kesler Burrows
Booth Weiss Hansen
Lapierre Malhotra Weise

Schroeder/Volpatti/Ebbett


Booth + Weiss were two-thirds of Florida's #1 line a coupla years ago.

[Aaronp18]

Yeah, we get a first if he doesn't sign an extension.

The problem is that if you're picking up Luongo, you hope to push for a cup in the next year or so but losing the only #1 centre you have basically signals the rebuild. After Weiss they have a 19 yr old Huberdeau then the mighty Marcel Goc up the middle.
Can't see them moving Weiss in a Luongo trade.

Plus Matthias, Drew Shore and Bjugstad.

But if they need help we send em Manny and/or Ebbett.

[Strangelove]

Dan, Florida doesn't want to lose Weiss for nothing amirite?

(not sure if they can re-sign him, but wouldn't they have done that by now if they could?)

They probably wanna keep doing what they've been doing

.... compete for the playoffs every year with a wide range of age on the roster.

Luongo fits that plan amirite?

Now that I think about it (again) they might wanna keep Weiss for this season and let him walk.

They have a wealth of prospects to bring up (or trade) in the next coupla years.

Yeah.... keeping Weiss definitely increases their chances of making the playoffs THIS year.

K, I'm back to:

Lu Wongo for Matthias, Petrovic, and a 2nd.

I see this but they must feel like they can re-sign him. I'd say he's using his leverage as their only true top centre and a move to obtain a 34 yr old isn't exactly going with youth. I wonder if this conundrum is the mystery team dealing with that 1 player. If/when Weiss re-signs I can see FLA being much more interested in Luongo.

This only decreases Vancouver's chances of making another cup run this year. I just don't see Fla being a candidate for Gillis to trade with, pre-deadline, if Luongo is the key player going the other way.
