    Are all Fan based trades made on the assumptions that the 29 other teams are ******s?

Another possible player that I would like would be Guerin, but the way St. Louis is playing right now it doesn't look like they will be trading away their players at the deadline.

    Can I ask a serious question?


    If you rate a player as being not all that good- why would teams want to fork over their best players for your garbage? What's in it for them?

    I think people also forget that there is a salary cap now in hockey

            I can completely understand trading one struggling young player for prospects- from both sides. It's not like Warrener was an all-star in Florida.

            It was a risk/reward deal for both sides.


            But lemme take your semi-expensive goalie off your hands- yeah- the one that won't be playing for either of us in 4 months- and give you my best players for him.

                    Didn't that draft pick turn into Ryan Miller too?

                          In the Gratton deal, we gave up enormous size for a firefly who seemed to have a "little" scoring touch. Briere was put on waivers that year I believe so it wasn't like we were ripping them off at the time.

                            Briere was put on waivers in 2001. The following season he scored 32 goals for Phoenix.

                            The difference between him and Gratton, then and now, is Briere has way more heart. That's more important than size.

                              It wasn't a little guy's league then either. The rules changes made Briere a star
