sakiqc Posted June 7, 2003 Share Posted June 7, 2003 humm.. interesting habby as i see it now, it looks like the Wild have great cards in their hands. Playing both roloson and manny, they have now 2 solid goalies with good value, even more after their run on playoffs. Also, with the money the team earn with their playoff runs (dunno, if they made a lot of profits tought) they should be able to increase their payrol a bit and trade one of their 2 goalie for a skilled winger making more than 1 million. Minnesota situation looks pretty good. Great system, developping young players and their AHL team is doing pretty well, Aeros are playing the BDOGS on AHL finals right now. To me, it looks like Minnesota have the most cards in their hands right now. There's also STL, because of their goalie's injuries, have few extras Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quebecois Posted June 7, 2003 Share Posted June 7, 2003 I find it interesting that you didn't even include David Aebischer on your list of possible Avs goalies. I would think that he is the most likely candidate to be starting in goal next year for the Avs. Don't quote me on this but didnt Lacroix say that they were going to start the year with Aebischer in nets? Of course GMs lie often to the media, but don't you think that it's at least a possibility the Avs don't aquire anyone in the off-season?

TheAussiePosse Posted June 8, 2003 Share Posted June 8, 2003 I see Colorado picking up a 2-3 mil. goalie just in case Aebischer can't handle it. but hey, he might be next year's Turco. And STL has Osgood for a full season (that will help), Johnson to be like Boucher in PHO, and get 20-30 games (injury & rest), and Divis to fill in the rest. Ooh, that's interesting. Maybe Osgood will stay, but Johnson is traded to Philly. Remember when Cechmanek, Nabokov and Johson were all doing really well 2 years ago. i had at least one of those three on every team (and all three on another too. i was up to 37th overall in Yahoo one week... then it went downhill from there. ) Anyway, here's my take: Montreal-Theodore Toronto-Belfour Boston-Shields* Buffalo-Biron** Ottawa-Lalime Philly-Hackett*** NYR-Dunham Devils-Brodeur Pens-Aubin**** Isles-DiPietro Canes-Potvin***** TB-Khabibulin Florida-Luongo Caps-Kolzig Thrashers-Dafoe Wings-Cujo Blues-Osgood Hawks-Thibault Nashville- Vokoun Columbus-Denis Avs-Aebisher****** Nucks-Cloutier Wild-Manny/Rolo Oilers-Salo Flames-Turek? ******* Dallas-Turco Ducks-Jiggy LA-Cechmanek Yotes-Burke Sharks- Nabokov * - They'll let Shields try again, but Raycroft will get a look in. Maybe a trade with Buffalo for Miller ** - Until proven otherwise. Miller and Noronen will also get chances *** - Hackett is going Philly IMO. and he'll do just like Checker. Great Reg. season, suck all in the playoffs **** - Hedberg and Aubin will vie for the position, but I think Aubin can hold it if he gets a bit luckier than before. maybe soime more help on Defense. And Hedberg might get a chance in Carolina ***** - Potvin to Canes to be with Francis and Brindamour ****** - Aebischer will be like Turco this year. Or they'll aquire Burke for a playoff run ******* - Here's a crazy idea: Johnson to Canes for Bruno St. Jacques and a 7th rounder. It's just crazy enough to work... or maybe we trade for Bruno? i'd like that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Burke, Kolzig, Khabibulin are all apparently available for the right price... we'll see if someone will be ready to pay the price. Edmonton is rumored to be trying to move Salo... Conklin has been terrific in Hamilton. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheAussiePosse Posted June 9, 2003 Share Posted June 9, 2003 I doubt Biron to Boston. You saw how the Hackett to Boston didn't work out. Another trade within the division would definitely not work. Maybe Osgood to Boston? There's an idea... And the Isles will only grab another goalie if Snow leaves. Which he won't. Kolzig and Khabibulin will stay with their teams. Canes might pick up another goalie, just in case Weekes blows. DesRochers won't be able to handle backup yet. And watch for the Blues to trade one of Osgood and Johnson. CMB has Brathwaite now, not Labbe. Av's will get another goalie, like Turco and Tugnutt last summer. CAL will try for another goalie as soon as possible. Johnson? another CAL-STL goalie trade? With maybe a D-prospect in tow? Turek won't go back though Burke will go to PHI, COL, STL or BOS. Which is a pretty safe guess. OOH, wait. Carolina? Back to Hartford? It could work Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
