no of course I wouldn't make that deal. That's like asking me for $20 and then making me take out your garbage and mow your lawn. But it sounds like Babcock might do that deal if Toronto got the first.

Or takes another stupid penalty in the offensive zone

that's awesome that Babcock thinks that - knowing this, there's only one thing to do - trade Enstrom to Toronto - RIGHT NOW

then throw in Burmi too. I just don't get the whole wanting to trade away our young defencemen like that. Perhaps I am still suffering PTSD from the Dave Babych trade...

I like how you guys want to just throw away Myers and/or Trouba but want to keep the useless Enstrom, all because you are married to this RHD/LHD theory. Enstrom should go in any deal where we are trying to get up the ladder. Save the future and deal the useless players like Enstrom.

Pavs and Ladd to St. Louis? Throw in Enstrom and Burmi too. If we could get Schwartz, a D man and some picks in return I'd be ecstatic. I also want Steen and Reaves in Winnipeg but that's mostly because I'm a sucker for nostalgia.

LOL. LHD? Left-handed drivers?

I think you mean statue. Like the one they erected of Jimmy Carter.

Sign Ladd for 5 years at 6 million and Stamkos for 8 years at $10 million a pop and the Cup is basically yours. As long as you have RHD who can play LHD if called upon.

you are in love with this guy! Every time you type his name this is all I hear:

Poolman is one of the later round picks the Jets got in 2013 when they traded their second rounder to Washington (who used it to draft Sanford).

yeah lets get Kyle Reaves, a pick and a near-ready prospect out of St. Louis. Not sure who on their prospect list is worth pursuing though...Vanelli?

Guess I'm dreaming to get two top prospects for Ladd on a rental eh? Although if this is true it may be interesting to turn the screws on Washington to see if they would match or go better.

Good because I was kidding. His actual name was Bobby Schmautz.

kind of like Rory Kohlert when he got plucked by Ottawa.

I'd rather have Bowey or Sanford. Of course I say that sitting in an office in Kelowna with zero actual scouting on either Sanford or Schmaltz.

Is that the son of former Boston Bruin legend Bobby Schmaltz?

as the Oilers have proven though, when teams are really bad they really benefit from getting a lot of first overall or near first overall draft picks to help them climb out of the cella....oh forget it.

yeah I remember that. I was just told that Washington would also just be renting him. What I am trying to get to is there any team out there that would take him now with the intent of a playoff run AND also re-signing him next year. Or would he just come back here for 2016-2017?

I don't even think Toews and Kane are worth that. Yikes, with those two guys sucking down $20 million of the cap how can they afford Ladd?

who would have the cap space to re-sign him though? Chicago always seems up against the cap, not sure about Anaheim or Florida.

yeah I guess I can agree with that. What kind of money is he demanding?

I still remember when he got his bell rung (the old timey phrase for "concussion") and instead of getting on the Jets bench he climbed into the Kings bench and sat down.

The appeal of Washington for me, my man-crush on Bowey aside, is that Ladd would be traded out of the division. I still respect him as a player enough to not want to face him more than twice a year.

Because they will be tired out from all of the Stanley Cup parades they have to plan?
