Thread: Trading Ceci
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Gauss</b></div><div>When Hyman gets back the most they can have is a 21 man team. Before that they are fine and can have the 23 player roster. They are not going to rush Hyman back. I am hinking 15-20 games will be missed. So the team will have plenty of time to evaluate all the players and the team dynamics to determine who to trade (if any). Also someone else with more than 2 mil cap hit could end up on the LTIR before Hyman returns given them more time for evaluation. I honestly think that any trades today would be just jumping the gun. We need to wait and see how the team plays. Maybe it will be determined that Kapanen (or anyone else by that matter) is expendable after seeing the new signings play some games with the team..</div></div>

These trades would just happen when Hyman and Dermott comes back. And that point about not rushing Hyman may be a good idea but he is very underrated. He plays lots of minutes and plays a well defensive game, and also plays on the penalty kill.

Thread: Resign Barrie
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>MG1986</b></div><div>I hope you are fully aware <a href="/users/TavaresIsALeaf" target="_blank">@TavaresIsALeaf</a> where that "Barrie is looking for $8 million per year on next contract" rumor came from. That was Steve Simmons. The same guy who just said that Don Cherry will not be back on Coach's Corner. The same guy that came up with that Phil Kessel loves hot dogs ps. The same guy that was fired from TSN's The Reporters. It is really unfortunate that sites like Pro Hockey Rumor pick up such things and post them, because the truth is there is absolutely NO merit to this. Barrie's people have never provided anyone a number for a next contract. After the acquisition, Dubas asked if he was interested in an extension and Barrie's agent said they would prefer to discuss after this coming season. At no point was a number ever put forth. Steve Simmons likes to stir the put. He has absolutely no credible sources anymore.</div></div>

I am aware of the source. I'm just working with any info that I have to assemble the team
