First of all, I'd take Brewer out of the fantasy due to his back concerns. I doubt Jackman, because he wouldn't save them enough $$. The only reason to move CP is to save cap, and Jackman would only save them 2-2.5mil. Whereas Polack would save about 5mil, be as good as Jackman this year and have upside. That's why I suggested him. Not sure the competition for CP. Any team that would trade for him would have to be confident they can get the extension or he is an expensive rental. That cuts the list waayy down. And, why give up the farm for him when there are several good UFA's to take a run at, plus Kaeberle on the block competing with the Ducks for someone that wants to trade for a D.cprice12 wrote:I don't think I want to give up what the Ducks will demand in return.
I know you have to give to get, and I really want Pronger back...but I dunno.
They won't just take picks and prospects. They're going to want at least a guy or two off of the roster, PLUS, picks and prospects.
Ugh.
Any chance they'll take Jackman or Brewer plus a pick and a prospect? I'd pass out if they did. Might be greatest day ever if that happened.
I don't know how real this is, but TSN is reporting Boston's Kessel for Kaberle and a pick is pretty much the best deal for Kaberle right now.Leedog wrote:First of all, I'd take Brewer out of the fantasy due to his back concerns.

I'd be hesitant to send Polak anywhere. I believe the kids got a lot of potential and his style of play fits into the Blues system well.Leedog wrote:First of all, I'd take Brewer out of the fantasy due to his back concerns.
