TML-LIKELY

Reasonable thought process. I would imagine we could get more out of a Bozak trade considering the Datsyuk contract coming back. Bozak should be able to land a 2nd (or at worst, 3rd) on his own. Wedgewood deal makes sense to me. I think there will be a lot of goalies available and not a whole lot of buyers in the next 1-2 years...leafs aren't giving up much here and NJ getting some cost effective players. Not sure they'd feel compelled to make the deal but I think the valuation is accurate.

I thought a Lupul for Wisniewski deal made sense too but someone pointed out to me that Wisniewski's actual salary is lower than his cap hit which may make him more attractive to keep for Columbus depending on their cap strategy.

Bozak for Datsyuk should get us a 2nd and our 3rd back for helping them get Datsyuk contract if not a 2nd tier prospect as well. Lupul might be traded but it will be to a team probably not in cap hell right now not a bad offer though if they can get Columbus to do it.

Likely? You mean unlikely. DET doesn't want Bozak long-term. They would rather each Datsyuk for 1 year. TML would also get a 2nd alone for Bozak so it doesn't make sense for them to take Datsyuk.

The NJ probably won't happen. TOR gives up nothing to get an OK goalie prospect. NJ likely will just keep wedgewood instead of giving up a 3rd and taking on 3 fringe players.

CAR says no.

LOL Do you ever agree with anyone on here?

Bozak is NOT a long term solution...2years is not exactly "long term"

Corrado is still a projectible, serviceable D. Holland is a decent 3rd/4th line scorer and NJ already has Blackwood as the heir apparent to Schneider. This is not a bad deal. Regardless of your apparent disdain for any trades not first thought up by you.

Any reason CAR says no? Or is it just you wanting to furiously type the word "no" and beat your record for the amount of "cap friendly" trades you say no to?
