There goes Vermette to Chicago

Of course Bozak is better than McClement, but it is much easier to get McClement. We can get him for a 4th I bet.

As for your Bozak deal, stop being crazy sc. NO SHOT I deal Zucc AND a 2nd AND a b prospect for Bozak. We'd be crazy to do that. Why would we do that? I rather just let Zucc walk for nothing this summer than do that. Crazy.

Well if we want Bozak and assuming you arent trading Hagelin, Z is the only one with a 3m salary to even it out. I suppose you could throw in garbage like Glass and a dman like Hunwick to add up but Glass is under contract. There's no other way to really do it. A 2nd(late) and Tambellini would basically be the crux of the deal. Comes down to are they willing to lose Z to help at C or keep him and the team not really upgraded, and watch him then walk.

See if we can get Bozak using picks, Lindberg and McIlrath (maybe a pipe dream but they seem like they want to get rid of him). Maybe even Buch if we have to, I dont trust them Russians in New York City. With the pro-rated cap, Bozak's hit will be around a million. Send Glass down and that's the amount we need right there. Then after this year when Bozak's full hit comes on the books let Zucc walk. Resign MSL to the paycut he will take, move Hayes to 3LW, and put Duclair on a line with Brassard and Nash. Resign Hags to play with Bozak and Hayes on the right. Boom done, cup.

And by the way regarding the title of this thread, nothing we could have done. Maloney wasnt going to trade him before the deadline regardless of what we offered because he was holding out for a 1st, which he got. I said in another thread rentals wont get firsts and I was obviously dead wrong. LA set the rental market with that Sekera trade and priced us out. Bring on Letestu.

I wouldn't trade Buchnevich but it definately can be done which is why Z is being talked about as going. If we had 3m in space now he could stay but Glen wasted space on Glass. Chuck is just being stubborn here.

Id trade Buch because like I said, Russians have a history of going NUTS here and falling on their face. Frolov anybody? Guy turned into a borderline alcoholic when he came here. Can only imagine what a 20 year old kid would do

 

[Ranger71]

True, but he's the type of prospect they really could have stolen. I think he's the best in the system, which isnt really saying much but he could be what Cherepanov might have.

I am not being stubborn, I am simply not dealing Zucc AND a 2nd AND a prospect for a worse player...Bozak.

I am confused by some of your posts here sc. You act as if we HAVE to deal for Bozak. Or all of us really want Bozak. You keep saying well if you want Bozak. I DON'T want Bozak...LOL.
