    The correct answer is more then TM would be willing to offer. I'm sure if he offered Moulson or Ott and Buffalo's pick as well the option for the Islanders pick BM would drive him down to Buffalo.

    I tried to bow down but it was uncomfortable.

    I really don't want to become part of the argument but I can't let the "his attitude sucks" go by . His teammates have regularly voted him their MVP and constantly talk him up both publicjy, and privately in every conversation I have ever had with any of them and take it for what it's worth but that is not always the case when they discuss other teammates

    First, I said 3. The fourth player would be a goalie to replace Miller. I expect TM to trade some of his assets for a couple of top 6 forward prospects to go with Hodgson and Girgs, a draft pick and. 1 or two FA signings. You add in one or two guys coming up out of all the draft choices to add depth and you won't even remember the names of 9 or 10 of the forwards that are playing now.

    That's actually my point. As bad as it looks, it doesn't take a lot when you have the right people in place. If you do, it's a year or two. If you don't, even 5 years isn't enough.

    3 or 4 players. A top line and a goalie if you trade Miller. They have plenty of talent for the 4th through 12th forward and the defense will be fine. Not sure about the coach yet. It can all be done in two years if TM is the right guy

    The team is only averaging 1.8 goals after you subtract out goals awarded for shoot outs so how significant could difference between Miller be? Bigger then the difference between shots against when each goaltender plays?

    Like I said a couple of pages ago, it shouldn't surprise anyone if Miller is the one moved tomorrow. Once they decided he wouldn't sign, moving him before Olympics became a goal.

    As long as Ennis is playing wing for someone else, I can live with the rest

    Why would we want Gagner ? No way you can have Hodgdon and Gagner as two of your top 3 centers on a championship team. Murray won't bring in anyone who doesn't have top 6 potential, fits with Hodgson and Girgs or can be flipped.

    I post that Miller might be moved before the Olympics now Garrioch and some Rabbi are taking stabs in the dark. I might have to start my own blog.

    Actually I never thought of Korab as tough. Maybe the greatest puncher but I always thought he could have been great if he was tougher to play against. Punch wanted to make him a forward but he never developed the d-man to take his place.

    I agree completely. But I agree with this as well. And three for three

    Am I the only one wondering why Mario is grabbing Kyle's butt?
  15. tom webster
    You are not getting Eberle for that crap . A back up goalie, a. 6th or 7th defenseman, a journeyman winger and a couple of picks that have less then a. 10% chance of making it.

    Its minimal given the expected escalating cap and assuming that he will be happy with the trade which, since he has to approve it you would assume.
  17. tom webster
    I would agree. Ehrhoff is one of the more underrated assets on this team. He is still highly thought of and his contract would be a tremendous selling point now that the upfront money has been paid.

    Memories of Al Smith dancing in my head.

    Don't remember the exact time frame but he is the second leading scorer in the NHL over the last month or two

    He also might be scouting for the Sabres since he is still being paid by them. I was thinking along these lines also till about two days ago. I believe that the Sabres really wanted to sign Miller to a new deal and were prepared to offer him King Henrik money but have come to the conclusion that that won't happen. Further, I believe they have decided that it will look worse if they traded him if he comes home a USA hero and therefore will trade him in the next two weeks, perhaps as early as next week.

    You don't have to worry about that. Black said it again today. Worst case scenario is letting any expiring contract walk for nothing.
  22. tom webster
    Interesting that Kassian is considered physical yet him and Stafford have the same number of hits in the same number of games.

    Dreger says Rangers have been looking for a right handed defenseman for awhile
  24. tom webster
    Take it for what it's worth but DR was reportedly asking for two 1st, a 2nd and a prospect with a top 6 ceiling. Some less then reputable sources have reported that as TM's starting point.
  25. tom webster
    And that is the biggest problem with the Internet. People mis interpret, mis understand or just plain fabricate what they read or hear and then repeat it as fact so often that other people start believing it as well.
