Avs aren't paying for Chara, he's washed.

id agree however im sure some dumb GM will want him. Just used the avs here bc saw some fans complaining about their small dcore

Sakic isn't dumb, lol. He's re-built the team into a contender from scratch. He's up there with Yzerman.

Blues may go for greene proably not and i dont think they give up a third for him

Not a chance in hell.

if there is a voice complaining about size, its a very small group and probably the same group who keep on saying Fire Bednar if they lose a game.
avs dont have a small D core, its just an parroting talking point by that section of the fan base .

I think the Oilers will try hard to not send the 1st just because of where we're at right now... think they'd be more willing to pay 2x 2nds which I still think is a fair return for Varlamov. Barring an Oilers-esque slide from on of the Eastern playoff teams (which seems unlikely), the Islanders will have to play better than 0.700 hockey the rest of the season to even have a shot at the playoffs. Sorokin is their guy and clearing $5mil in cap next year is good motivation.... and if you guys want to do us a solid for the Reinhart trade, that would be great.
