First, for the ladies. Some hockey related guy on guy (on guy) action. You're welcome.

It's nice to know I can take a vacation, and Brian Burke will do the same. Some guy named Rickard got signed, and that's been about it. Also, it's disgustingly hot here in CenCal, and perhaps, in your neck of the woods as well...? Save yourself a few bones and stay away from the AC. Click on the icy cool links below instead.
Also, Music Monday will make it's return next week. I left things a little too late, as I'm often wanton to do (Procrastination, it's not just a triple word score in scrabble, it's a way of life. If you ever get around to living...)

On Deadmarsh...
I doubt you will find an Avalance fan out there who would be surprised if "Deader" ended up being a head coach for their team some day.
That’s because Avalanche fans (which I count myself among, thanks a lot for Tucker) are convinced that if Durno plays two more games with the team that he’ll be GM in five years. What’s that? Played for the Avs? Here’s a company car.
Just sayin’.

I love your bridge idea btw. I’d love to have seen Lupul pass Pronger after having being traded for him again.

The idea has a flaw: How would you deal with trades for draft picks or future considerations?
for instance, the Leafs traded Hal Gill for two draft picks. How would that have worked? Or, Brad May was essentially acquired for nothing. what about that one?

True. We’d have to make the draftpicks a tactile and symbolic representation of the hopes and dreams that it represents. Puppies?
by theothervatican on Jul 20, 2009 9:43 AM EDT up reply actions
I think it should be interns wearing pinnies with a number signifying the round of the draft they represent.
Hal Gill walks to the Pittsburgh side, two interns – one weaing a pinnie with the number 2, one with the number 5 – walk to the Toronto side.
Puppies don’t fit with the hostage exchange theme; plus, there’s a good chance they’d just follow Gill back to the Pittsburght side.

Chemmy mentioned the other day that it might be related to Tanguay’s shoulder surgery.

Yeah
I imagine part of the problem with the UFAs remaining is that they want too much money or too many years for their situation. They probably don’t want to get stuck on one-year deals with a declining cap next year.
Pension Plan Puppets: A Toronto Maple Leafs blog and a group therapy session.
Tanguay
is certainly not worth the $5M or so he made last contract. Something in the $3M-$4.5M would be better for him preferably south of $4M as well, but GM’s being who they are, may not be able to see that logic.

Until the panic hits there, I won’t get my hopes up on Burke outstripping them in a trade anymore than the other 28 teams trying to do the same. They might be panicking soon, but there are teams a lot stupider they can swindle before we can swindle them. I see you there, Tampa!

I still think the Blues and Kings lead the “ready to plunder our prospects” pack.
Both are loaded (Berglund, Oshie, Frolov etc) with young NHL or near ready tallent and both are in desperate need to make an impact this coming season.

Not just Chicago, the Sharks are in a pretty bad spot as well. Something like less than a million from the cap with only 18 guys signed.

yeah, but they arnt exactly in a dire need of defensive players.
I dont really want to give up players who are a good deal on forward (Poni, Hagman) for players with inflated contracts.
Unless its a total over payment/ salary dump for players that are easily replacible through the Marlies, say Cheechoo for Stewart and Mayers I say stick with dealing with teams that will over pay for clearing the log jam on the back end
Because Taking The Leafs Seriously Is Not An Option
by JaredFromLondon on Jul 20, 2009 10:58 AM EDT up reply actions
of all the scenarios, the MLHS one of Cheechoo for Stempniak is not nearly that far fetched. The “change of scenery” angle is used plenty of times in trades.
The problem is, it doesn’t save the Sharks and money…

by blurr1974 on Jul 20, 2009 11:02 AM EDT up reply actions
yeah, the only players they could move that would save them a good cap chunk are Thornton (7.2), Marleau (6.3), Boyle (6.5) or Nabokov (6), they alsohave a few players at 3.5, (Blake, Mchalek, Clowe, Cheechoo) but they’d need to move at least 2 of those players and not take on any significant salary to sign enough players to have a working team.
Not to mention that every single player listed would be hard pressed to even get close to replacing with a cheaper non-prospect/entry contract player.
and since I dont think Burke is looking to shop any significant youth tallent, the deal doesnt really stand unless the Sharks really dont care about making the playoffs any time soon

The general concensus among the Sharks fans I know (and I live in the Bay Area, so I do know a few) is that Cheechoo has to go and they would do Cheech and a pick for a pick coming back. Where they disagree is on whether Cheech and a 3rd brings back a 2nd or a 4th.
...rely a bit to heavily on alcohol and irony...
by My Poor Friend Me on Jul 20, 2009 11:15 AM EDT up reply actions
Id do that, a 4th, or even a 2nd would not be too hard to replace in another minor trade
Because Taking The Leafs Seriously Is Not An Option
by JaredFromLondon on Jul 20, 2009 11:18 AM EDT up reply actions
I think the 4th is supposed to say 1st.
Trading away a player and a 3rd round pick for a 4th round pick makes no sense.
I think Cheech and a 3rd could warrant a 1st rounder at the beginning of the season. Just not for the Leafs. If Burke is rebuilding, he needs those high round picks.
Wings fan by birth. Leafs fan by truculent osmosis.
yeah, no chance in hell for a 1st.
the only way the Leafs first moves is if one of two things happens
A) Another first is obtained through a trade to replace it
or
B) it is for a franchise player in the Getzlaf (random franchise player) mold / a good player and a more than likely lower 1st round pick (Hodgeson and a 1st)
Because Taking The Leafs Seriously Is Not An Option
by JaredFromLondon on Jul 20, 2009 11:26 AM EDT up reply actions
I meant 4th. There are definitely Sharks fans who think they will have to take a lower pick to get his contract off the books. They don’t have room for him in their top six, he has shown that he can’t play in the bottom six effectively, and he is being paid top six money on a team right up against the cap. It just depends on whether or not Wilson gets any better offers before he decides to move him.
...rely a bit to heavily on alcohol and irony...
by My Poor Friend Me on Jul 20, 2009 11:36 AM EDT up reply actions
I kinda like Cheechoo and I’m not sure I understand the knocks against him. Led the league in goals the year after the lockout. His stats have really declined from year to year for the last 3 years but 29 years old doesn’t seem to old to bounce back and have a few more good seasons with 20 goals plus.
by general borschevsky on Jul 20, 2009 11:48 AM EDT up reply actions
I watched probably 50 Sharks games last year and I can tell you that a big part in his drop in production is attributable to the fact that he was playing with Mike Greir rather than Joe Thornton. He still has decent finishing skills.

I feel funny about bringing in a guy to play for a coach he’s already played for and had some years of suckitude. Wilson hasn’t been too warm and fuzzy to those he thinks aren’t working hard. Cheechoo wouldn’t really be getting a fresh start. I say stay away.

Agreed, consider Sundin smoten.

nothing stands out as an epic pickup…lots of options for bottom 6 guys, which we have. Matters on the deals Burke makes in the trade market. Malhotra, Betts or Pyatt aren’t awesome, but would fill roles well. Sundin isn’t coming home I think, nice yes, happening, no.

* Blog contains less than 2% puppet content by weight.
Only guy I’d want to see Burke go after is Mike Grier.
Nobody out there who would be a top 6 forward is a guarantee. I’m perfectly willing to roll the dice with the kids on those top 2 lines and see who pans out.
We’ve added a lot of physicality this summer, and there’s definite concerns that we are risking significant PK time. Well, Grier’s pretty much made his career off of being a defensively responsible, checking forward who excels on the PK. Sign him to play on the third or fourth line; he won’t take up a spot slotted for a kid (he’d be competing with Stempniak & Mayers, either of whom we could move/demote to make room for him), he gives the team a bonafide penalty killer up front, and he’s familiar with Wilson, so he can help fill the leadership/veteran role the team currently lacks.
Tell Burke to get his agent on the phone. Offer 2 years, $3.8M, and get him in here tomorrow.

He’s lost more than a few steps over the past few years. I wouldn’t sign him for more than one year.

I can think of two guys who played for four teams in one season:
Dennis O’Brien in ’77-78 (North Stars, Rockies, Barons, Bruins)
Dave McLlwain in ’91-92 (Jets, Sabres, Isles, Leafs)
Interesting that 3 of O’Brien’s teams have amscrayed.
