rinswun 6 Posted June 6, 2008 Share Posted June 6, 2008 blues acquired Fast from LA for a 2nd rounder.he is money. kid will do big things if paired with EJ imo. Link to post Share on other sites
strategy 4 Posted June 6, 2008 Share Posted June 6, 2008 he is money. kid will do big things if paired with EJ imo.yes. why LA would ever part with him is beyond me. The Quick/Fast pairing! Link to post Share on other sites
rinswun 6 Posted June 6, 2008 Share Posted June 6, 2008 yes. why LA would ever part with him is beyond me. The Quick/Fast pairing!haha good point.i've been watching this guy ever since he got a player of the week award in the WHL last year. he's offensive talent is top drawer but he'll need to fill out a little and get better defensively to get there. he has the skills though.

Belanger25 3 Posted June 6, 2008 Share Posted June 6, 2008 blues acquired Fast from LA for a 2nd rounder.Everywhere I've read said it was a 5th rounder next year.he is money. kid will do big things if paired with EJ imo.Considering Lombardi always says the Kings are short on Defensive prospects and then trades Fast for a 5th round pick has most Kings fans very very confused.yes. why LA would ever part with him is beyond me. The Quick/Fast pairing!Quick in net and Fast on defense. I have to admit it would have been cool to have that.Btw Strat haven't seen you on AIM lately. You going to see the Blues and Kings in KC?

rinswun 6 Posted June 6, 2008 Share Posted June 6, 2008 i have seen it reported as a 5th rounder too come to think of it. my guess it that lombardi is committed to bringing in doughty/bogosian and already has JJ, Hickey, Vishnevski and Harrold already in the team/waiting in the wings. The kings dont need another highly offensive but potentially poor defensive player on the back end. Link to post Share on other sites

dEv~ 19 Posted June 13, 2008 Share Posted June 13, 2008 Pens File For Arbitration With FleuryJun 13, 2008, 2:02 PM EDTThe Pittsburgh Penguins have elected to file for salary arbitration with goaltender Marc-Andre Fleury, it was announced today by Executive Vice President and General Manager Ray Shero. Arbitration hearings are set by the National Hockey League and take place from July 20 to August 4. Both sides can continue to negotiate a contract until that time. As a result of the filing, the Penguins retain his rights and he will not become a restricted free agent on July 1. “By filing for salary arbitration it gives us extra time to continue to negotiate a contract with Marc-Andre,” stated Ray Shero. “As a result of the filing, Penguins' fans are assured that Marc-Andre will be under contract to our club for next season. Marc-Andre has done a tremendous job for us. We remain committed to negotiating a contract with him in the near future."Fleury, 23, helped lead the Penguins to the 2008 Eastern Conference championship and a berth in the Stanley Cup Final. He was originally selected by the Penguins first overall in the 2003 NHL Draft. Link to post Share on other sites
Zach6668 513 Posted June 13, 2008 Share Posted June 13, 2008 interesting... I guess this prevents teams from throwing huge offer sheets at him? (not that I think he'd sign one) Link to post Share on other sites
strategy 4 Posted June 14, 2008 Share Posted June 14, 2008 interesting... I guess this prevents teams from throwing huge offer sheets at him? (not that I think he'd sign one)yes, that's what teams have been using arbitration for. pretty nice safeguard, although I'd like to see a list of teams who actually have all of the picks in tact to even make such an offer. I yearn for the day when buffalo snipes back at edmonton with an offer sheet. Link to post Share on other sites

Jason12 0 Posted June 20, 2008 Share Posted June 20, 2008 I could see the Leafs using Antropov in a package to move up from 7th in the draft to get one of the big 6.I dont see the logic in picking up Mayers when the Leafs are trying to rebuild. Dont we have enough 3rd and 4th line players? Link to post Share on other sites

Dont we have enough 3rd and 4th line players?I think the idea is to bring in character players -- to give the team an identity rather than a random collection of individuals that seem to only come together when their backs are against the wall.

Dont we have enough 3rd and 4th line players?Well apparently Mayers is a hometown boy and is a great leader and a good guy in the room...Maybe Gruven can give some insight.The whole idea of rebuilding is good, but it doesnt have to be black and white..You can rebuild at the same time as adding key pieces to the puzzle..Sort of in the Flyers mode..I dont believe in dumping everyone over 30 and starting from scratch.

runthemover 40 Posted June 20, 2008 Share Posted June 20, 2008 you'd think Mason would be worth more than a fourth rounder. Maybe I'm just overvaluing his ability and undervaluing how much a fourth rounder is worthnot saying by much but if Jamal Mayers is worth a third, then isn't Mason? Link to post Share on other sites
