Heh. Don't we wish the BUF and CAR trades could happen... but they won't, as those teams are not run by idiots.

Dumba trade is a decent idea, but b/c the CAR trade won't happen, then it shouldn't happen either. I do like the Gallagher trade, but I think Koivu would be better spent on something else; he still has value, esp. if you retain 50%.

I would not trade Dumba for that. I like Johnson a lot, but he's a very small, 50 point a year guy who will turn 28 this summer. He played 81 games last season, but has missed 12 and 16 games the previous years from injuries. The 1st round pick is nice, but not enough to pull the trigger on a deal for a small, getting old forward...especially because Dumba scored 50 points from the blue line last year as a defenseman!

I like the Gallagher trade a lot! I would do that in a heartbeat.

Skinner's concussion problems make me nervous about acquiring him! I do think the value is pretty fair on that deal though.

I am not a ROR fan, so I don't like that trade at all...even if it would definitely take more than what you are offering to actually acquire him...
