First off Federov is 35 and making 6 million a year with at least another year on his contract...that is why they didn't get much for him

Havlat is 24 and making 2.6 million and still a RFA next year and those are the players that have the most value in the new NHL

If Muckler made the deal for Cheechoo and McCauley i would say he is stupid since McCauley has 5 points in 22 games and is (-5) and Cheechoo (a year older then Havlat) although he is a good player but has only had one good year and only has 14 points in 22 games and is (-9) playing more then Havlat

Havlat is better then those two and if the San Jose Gm wouldn't make that trade i would be glad...you just dont like Havlat and are blinded by your hatred of the Sens and him...like i said in another post i would not trade Havlat straight up for anyone on the Sharks not even both McCauley and Cheechoo unless they could flip McCauley to the Leafs for Steen or Wellwood lol or another better player but thats my opinion

lol thats ok i was pretty sure i knew who you meant…you just named team U.S.A pretty much but as i look at those names i think that the U.S team will have a hard time to compete in a couple of years since most of their best players are near the end of their careers and Canada, Russia, Sweden and others keep producing good young players every year

Sharks are loaded at goalie with Nabokov, Toskala and Schaefer. Shaefer has proven to be a strong goalie, at this point certainly better than Toskala. Maybe not Havlat, but perhaps a team looking for some goaltending would be willing to part with a scorer? Also, can’t see the Sharks unloading Marleau, Cheechoo at this point, but we will see. Sharks definitely could use some help on the scoring though. Perhaps a few more “pelotas” to stand in front of the net? Let’s go Los Tiburones!

The Federov trade proved that big scorers aren’t worth much in trades. If somehow Muckler would manage to pull off a trade for McCauly and Cheecho he would be the best GM in history ever. On the other side of the spectrum, all hockey fans would have to pool resources together to invent a time machine so we could send the San Jose GM back in time to the French Revolution so he could get beheaded! CAUSE THATS WHAT ANYONE WOULD DESERVE ,TO BE BEHEADED, IF THEY MADE THIS TRADE!

What is the deal with Varada? Why does Ottawa want him out?

I assume Muckler would try to throw in Varada in any deal he tries to make.

I suppose your a genious.Vrbata isnt doing much so

his value isnt much,since when is Macauley a star,

he`s a decent player at best and pleeeeeeeeeease

dont compare my thoughts to hab and leaf fans.Havlat has a lot more potential than any of the

players mention.

Keep on dreaming buddy...as if the Sharks would add a MacCauley along with Cheechoo. Havlat is not a sid the kid here or a Heatley. I could very well see Cheechoo one for one or may be if you stretch it a little I could see Cheechoo and a very late rounder draft choice.

The other trade possiblity that you are suggesting is even more ridiculous. Cole and Vrbata are way too much for a head kicker.

I think the Sens should stay status quo here as they are the best team in the NHL right now. Trading Smolinsky for a draft pick could prove to be good for the Sens to leave room for Vermette who needs Ice time to develop.

Wayne you would make a great Mtl fan...they always like to exagerate the value of their players that they themselves no longer want.

If the sens are to move Havlat its only logical they

get someone with comparable stats since they already have taken care of the grit department

(Fisher,Varada,Neil,Mcgrattan,Chara,Volchenkov,

Phillips) and yet they need to add scoring on other

lines besides the great Heatley/Spezza/Alfredson.

If they were to trade with those teams though:

Carolina:Erik Cole has to be included,maybe add

Vrbata

San Jose:Jonathan Cheechoo also must be included

and maybe add Macauley or Thornton.

New York rangers:Not sure what they could give

us although they put up good stats i`m not sure it

will last.

I hope they find a way to trade Smolinski though

cause he sure as a hard time adjusting to the speed of the game.

The response should be who cares, this was reported I think like 2 weeks ago, and it’s just getting noticed here? Havlat wasnt available, Sharks didn’t get him, old news………….. next!
