| Post subject: | 2012 Trade Deadline |
well yesterday philly picked up Grossman from Dallas for a second round Today Montreal acquired B. Geoffrion, R. Slaney, and 2nd round draft pick in 2012 from NSH for H. Gill and a conditional 5th round pick in 2013. Pierre LeBrun just reported that if Geoffrion gets 40 gp in Montreal next year, Nashville gets that fifth-round pick. If he doesn't play in that many games, no pick for Nash  Let the deals begin |

Nashville's butt has to be sore right now. 2 players and a 2nd for a 36 yr old pylon who will be a UFA. |

They really want to win now, and Hal Gill is a stay at home defensman who brings them playoff experience, size, and a Cup-winner. It's all or nothing for the Preds. Their window is open for this year, and probably this year only. |

Most teams who have a "top center" are not in the position to get rid of them since most are still in the hunt for the playoffs. |

Trading for a top C means losing several good players that you probably don't really want to lose (ie - NOT Roy or Stafford, but Ennis, Myers, McNabb, etc). Then you get one great player and still have to fill the holes from the players you just lost, but you have a cap problem because now you have about the same total cap hit as before, but with one or two less players. Since Buffalo doesn't have much cap room I don't see this as a good option. Sell off Roy, Boyes, Hecht (if possible), maybe Gaustad, and collect as many draft picks or prospects on ETCs as possible. That will allow for a lot of options going toward the draft, with some great Cs available on the cheap. We're not winning the Cup next season either, so why splurge for a top vet C under contract now when it won't make a difference? Get a rookie that's as close to a sure-fire top C as possible and he'll be ready by 2013-14, when other roster moves might have the team ready for a legit run. |

That's actually the best bet I would say also. We should sell of any players we can outside of Vanek, Pommers, Ennis, Kassian, Miller, and Myers for draft picks or prospects. Get what we can out of these bums and just draft a shit ton of new guys. I know no one is trading a top C from their team unless Vanek, Pommers, Miller, or Myers goes to them. I for one don't want to see any of those guys go. Personally, I want a really good defensive guy for the backend on this team, because our D has been a huge problem, because these guys can score, doesn't seem like it this year but they have before. Maybe they can do it again. |

Ok, I actually created this thread to bring to light other teams trades in the league. If a mod wants to move this to the Sabres forum, please do since majority of the posts are related to the Sabres |

What I find funny, is the fact there are conversations regarding the Sabres and "Trades" being used in the same sentence  There is a section dedicated to Sabres trade talk in the Sabres Hockey forum.Things are still quiet on the trade front/rumors etc for now so maybe this can stay a little longer. This thread was created for general NHL trade deadline talk so we should try to keep it to that.
