agreed but since i dont know too well the L.A prospect,thats why i only said a prospect,if its Kaberle,it could be Hickey but if its Kubina or Blake they can forget Hickey and then i dont know which prospect could be send to Toronto to even that trade.

those are some pretty varied assets there. it's not as though blake, kaberle and kubina all have equal value….

im hoping we get a second first rounder later in the round (like between 13 and 21) so we can try and pick Rundblad
say we get Columbus's 16th overall and we take Cowan
Our D is soldified for years to come on 3 very good prospects
Schenn and Cowan
Rundblad and sign Ohlund to mentor him and we got ourselves a sick d corps in the making

Schenn - Cowan
Rundblad - Ohlund
Kubina - White
Stralman - Van Ryn

Haha, I'm glad you're accepting both possibilities. We've certainly heard some varied reports on what has been offered for Heatley and what is acceptable.

My line of thinking tends to think that the Rangers "offer" was just so ridiculous, that it can't even be considered true. Likewise, the Frolov/5th overall/roster player seems almost too good to be true. My guess is the package Murray lands is going to fall somewhere in between.

I think a big part of it depends on how certain GM's view Murray's "threat" to take Heatley off the market if they have to pay his 4 million dollar bonus. I tend to agree with Spector on this one, and he thinks that is an act of desperation. Even as he said it, he just sounded like he was bluffing. He clearly just wants to force the trade before that point without sacrificing additional value.

That said, Bob McKenzie thinks it is a sincere threat, and that anyone interested in Heatley better get their offers in quick-quick.

I guess we'll see. So many questions to be answered in the next 48 hours....

I don't see colarado trading this pick TO would be better off to target 4 or 5 to move up.

maybe. Actually i'm jelous of Ottawa having E-karl, he was sick for Sweden at the WJC's. OEL on the other hand i dont really remember. But i've read good things about him.

Just to use the 2002 draft, which was a good draft year as an example. There were lots of big prospects but of the top 15 the only real stars were Nash, Bouwmeester, and Semin.

Lots of good players like Pitkanen, R.Whitney, K.Lehtonen, PM Bouchard, Upshall, Lupul, Eminger. And some busts in there too.

I think OEL will end up being one of the lesser guys like an Eminger or Upshall calibre player, not an upper echelon guy. But who the hell knows.

Totally, maybe trade for Marty St Louis on wing or Pronger. Could be a very good weekend to be a Sens fan, could also be a weekend to drink a ton and try and forget waht was
