  1. Please don't give me the whole, 'we would never trade within our division' garbage. I want us to look at trades as simply trying to get better.

    Ryder is young, but we lose him to free agency if we don't trade him.

    Blake is not doing well in TO but maybe he'll fit better here.

    Blake for Ryder?

  2. Its not all about points, but over time it is telling. A number one lines should consistently produce offense. They should also be reasonable defensively.

    I don't think we can win the cup with Koivu as our number one center anymore, unless we had another Koivu level guy as the 1a/1b thing. I do think Koivu would be a key guy for this team, but he doesn't need to be number 1 to do it. Leadership, grit, and inspiration can come from a 1b or number 2 center. I don't want to trade Koivu for one of those guys, I want Koivu AND one of those guys. Call me greedy. :)

    You made a damn nice list of guys nobody would trade straight up for Koivu.

    They had a 1a and 1b situation when they aquired Doug Gilmour for the playoffs. They eliminated Boston, but then lost the next round I think to Tampa Bay (correct me if I'm wrong).

    We need a better center than Koivu, along with Koivu to win the stanley cup. We are also badly needing a RW.
