Athlétique.Canadien Posted February 25, 2008 Share Posted February 25, 2008 With 24 hours to go until the NHL's trade deadline, the Calgary Flames don't appear willing to deal away winger Alex Tanguay. General Manager Darryl Sutter told reporters on Monday afternoon that he is not trading Tanguay and he likes the make up of his team.

SAKS-AVENUE Posted February 25, 2008 Share Posted February 25, 2008 As the hours go by Hossa's price tag is just going to go up. I'm starting to feel that although Gainey is trying nothing is going to happen for us in the trade department. Except Ryder to Dallas for a 2nd round pick. I hope Gainey has something up his sleeve. We need a jump. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Chicoutimi Cucumber Posted February 25, 2008 Share Posted February 25, 2008 (edited) With Tanguay out and Ottawa in the hunt for Hossa, I'm definitely among the pessimists. Ottawa is desperate for a Cup and we're not - therefore they'll be willing to sacrifice more of their future than us, and therefore they should get Hossa, not us. We seem to be out of the running for Richards too, and Jokinen rumours are sparse (probably for good reason - the price on him is liable to be extreme). Dollars to dougnuts Gainey shifts his sights to a defensive forward and maybe a solid defensive defenceman.

But maybe they are playing the game and trying to ratchet up the price for a division rival. If the Habs are going to get him, it would be good business for the Sens to make them pay max price no?

Should the Sens land him for Vermettr, Foligno and an early pick wouldn't that mean that's what they traded to get Heatley straight up. Pretty damn good trade at the end of the day. Come on Bob screw someone over like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trading Recchi for Desjardins and Leclair...then getting Recchi back for Zubrus :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: :puke: Next time you get frustrated at Bob, remember that little doozy.

Chris Posted February 25, 2008 Share Posted February 25, 2008 BG is fine. He will not give up a top talent for a rental. He would and will if the other side accepts a good hockey deal. Normally it's for both clubs. Beleive me, he is trying, if there is a deal to be had, he'll do it. If not, without resigning any UFA's, he will have alot of money to get the man he wants.

When will the Sens learn though. If they blow their brains out on Hossa they still have to start Emery and Gerber in the playoffs. Did the Patrick Lalime years teach them nothing? Why do teams consistently try to win with no goaltending? The Flyers wasted the Lindros/Leclair prime years rolling with Hextall and Snow in net. And in 1998 I worked with somebody who was best friends with Cujo and he wanted to go to Philly and they signed the Beezer forcing Cujo to the Leafs. You do not win the Cup with what they call goalies. Hossa just makes them look like favourites on paper until one of those 2 implodes in the biggest moment of a series.

Plus, the Sens don't exactly have an airtight defense, which could potentially protect the weaknesses in net. They addressed the secondary seconding with Stillman, they should really be looking to upgrade D or G. But who knows? Maybe they'll win by outscoring the opposition every night.

smon Posted February 25, 2008 Share Posted February 25, 2008 Man, I hope Gainey does something, if not Hossa, then bring in someone else. It's obvious that there are needs upfront. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Posted February 25, 2008 Share Posted February 25, 2008 A set of balls and some courage would help out the forwards, defense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Psycing Posted February 25, 2008 Share Posted February 25, 2008 Here's hoping we get Recchi back so I can finally wear the shirt I got not long before he moved on to another club. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Posted February 25, 2008 Share Posted February 25, 2008 You can wear your jersey all you want, just no Recchi. The last thing the Habs need is a washed up, soft small forward. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smon Posted February 25, 2008 Share Posted February 25, 2008 I think it depends on Ryder in terms of deals, if the Flames are actually interested in him, they could swap someone like Huselius for Ryder (both are expiring UFAs, and Keenan hates Huselius and waived him in Florida)...or Gainey could get a draft pick for Ryder, and then flip that draft choice for a defensive centre. Maybe a guy like Mike Peca Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makh2o Posted February 25, 2008 Share Posted February 25, 2008 I'd be happy if all they did was pick up some grit like Gratton... someone who can skate, hit, and potentially fight if need be... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BTH Posted February 25, 2008 Share Posted February 25, 2008 Worst deadline ever. There are only a couple of guys on the market and Hossa seems to be the only guy who's going to go for sure. There are normally about 20 trades on deadline day! (And a few more on the days leading up to it) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are normally about 20 trades on deadline day! (And a few more on the days leading up to it) What really makes it bad are the ridiculous amount of rumours getting our hopes up every few days. I think Bob will make a trade, though, even if it's just something minor to help our stretch run, or just getting rid of unnecessary baggage like with the Rivet deal.
