Thread: Fixing the LW
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>LeafsFanForSomeReason</b></div><div>I think there's been some sort of mistake. Tyler Bertuzzi is actually pretty good.</div></div>

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>redwingsfan04</b></div><div>As others said, you can't get Bertuzzi for scraps. Yzerman talks about him as being a core piece in our rebuild and he'll be here long term. The only way we'd move him is if they have issues with contract negotiation next offseason.</div></div>

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>mikearky</b></div><div>Is that Bertuzzi trade a joke? Neither player has tru value and a late 2nd only makes it worse.</div></div>

Bertuzzi &gt;&gt;&gt; Kapanen

Kapanen = first plus

? Bertuzzi = Amiron plus a first ? -- Not sure Yzerman makes even that trade

Thread: Rakell
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>villenash</b></div><div>I think Tolvanen + 1st should be enough, so if NSH is also throwing in Grimaldi I'd want a mid round pick going back to NSH. But if NSH adds another guy like Rakell, then they would probably need to move a guy like Grimaldi, Jarnkrok, etc. anyway.

I still think Tolvanen can be a good 2nd line scoring winger, so it just depends if NSH management thinks that too. If so, then maybe 1st + Tolvanen is more important to this team long term as opposed to another guy that will need a new contract right at that 29/30 age that hasn't worked out too well for NSH in the past... But I'd probably be inclined to accept a trade like this, with a little negotiating.

Forsberg - Johansen - Arvidsson
Rakell - Duchene - Granlund
Haula - Sissons - Kunin

that would be a pretty slick top 9</div></div>

I could actually be talked into being happy with Grimaldi and the first.

Thread: Do u think there is a trade to be made
As noted by others, I can't see Boston trading Carlo, Columbus trading Atkinson, Detroit trading Bertuzzi, or Minnesota trading Dumba for anything like a price you'd enjoy.

I disagree with the two commenters about Graves. He's the least likely of Colorado's 5 top defensemen to be protected in the expansion draft so Sakic may be looking to get something significant for him this season. He's probably strongly considering protecting 4 defensemen and therefore only 4 forwards so he's probably looking for an expansion-draft-exempt prospect or two. Chicago's in a similar position with Murphy, but the Black Hawks won't be going 8 and 1 for Seattle. Aston-Reese and Tanev are also on-the-cusp-expansion-draft candidates.

It's a little early for Anaheim to be making moves despite the impotent start, but both Silfverberg AND Rakell might be available (the latter because he's easier to replace internally).

Crouse isn't a bad idea but Arizona is probably looking for draft picks and you have a full complement of LWs, so he doesn't seem to me to be a great target for you. Bennett and Wood are also LWs; I'd think you'd be looking for a RW.
