goodbye

I like fabbri but pens easily decline

Maybe if they are truly desperate and with retention bernier gets a 2nd. I think it's a 3rd but ok. Can't see anyone parting with a 2nd for glendening even with the kicker. I'd rather keep fabbri on a cheap deal andpitt probably declines anyways.

The problem with this is how do you remain competitive making these moves? Yes you have a lot of draft picks but most prospects take about 2 to 3 years to develop and make an NHL team. Let's say this does happen You have traded 9 solid NHL players and coming back you have Hickey and Riikola. So what's next Detroit fills in the holes with UFAs? That quite possibly will make last years Detroit team look good.

All the trades are guys who are UFA's aside from Fabbri and Mantha. Both are replaced by high potential young guys in Raymond and Berggren and we add Harley on LD. Yzerman could still make a few free agent signings to round out the group with some vets. This team wouldn't be much different than what Ottawa is doing this year. In a couple years there's a good chance this team will be really good with a ton more young guys on the way

Just feel like Canes could really use Glendening and he's a somewhat rare commodity for this deadline in what he offers to a playoff contender and the Canes may be willing to give up a 2nd to ensure they get him.
