im glad chia didnt go after kovalchuk. way too risky. he isnt even helping out the devils right now. and the drafting connolly thing isnt an example of things going very wrong, it would just be worse than not getting hall/seguin/fowler, but still good in the big picture

no im saying that i wouldnt give up much more than wheeler + a prospect. putting wheeler in a big kovalchuk-like package is nuts to me

So you feel Wheeler and Horton are basically equal players?

a guy like wheeler already put up over 20 in his rookie season, so i really dont think he's worth that much.

there's no way i'd give up krejci in a deal for horton, but if the rumours of the panthers' asking price are true, it may cost something close to that.

I'm thinking Krejci and a 2011 1st for Horton? I'm probably off but that's my thinking.

well when that pick could have grabbed you Kovy and a very solid chance at the cup (something i doubt you will get in the next couple of years, thats just my opinion), then yes, things would have gone wrong getting connolly or gudbrandson

I would think he is worth it, I mean he has averaged 27 goals a yr for the last for seasons. That includes only 22 last year including missing 15 games. Plus he has 17 this year and if is back on time projects to around 25 again. So I am not even sure it isn't the media hyping it.

well i'm assuming wheeler would have to be involved. before this season horton could be seen as somewhat of a disappointment so his value shouldnt just be looked at based on his performance this season. so i dont know if i'd go much higher than wheeler + a top prospect.

i dont even know what florida is looking for though. they announced they'd be having a fire sale, so i'm assuming they're just looking to load up on prospects and picks, or a young roster player they can get their hands on.
