I think he's an awesome player, but I don't think he is quite as good as he used to be. He's having an awesome start, but I think he'll slow down, and might put similier number's as Mike Modano, who is always still good, but aging.

I don't think they suck. I just don't see why Buffalo would want them. Buffalo has 6 quality defensemen already, I don't think that they need more.

Salo, and Mitchell are awesome. There definately have to keep them (Salo has a NTC too). Ohlund is the one who suck's they have to get rip of him.

Yeah Sundin would be worth Ryan and a late first round pick to Anaheim. They could use a player like Mats.

And to MR40, you can't say he's not the player he used to be, he's never slowed down yet, he's still playing great just like every year, he's worth a ton. Don't try to tell me he's not.

I agree, it all depends on our position and if MLSE finally decides to rebuild. (let alone looking at the financials we need to rebuild) Anyways if it isnt a 1st rounder and Ryan itll be at the very least a 1st rounder and Logan MacMillan.

let's look at this player by player

Shane O'Brien and a third for a first was a steal, don't know what Feaster was thinking
Tkachuk - Waddell was desperate... which Burke is not, so he wouldn't make a stupid deal like that.
Smyth - Went to a team on the playoff bubble, full of young prospects, so it didn't hurt the Isles too bad, plus they were desperate, which, once again, Burke will not be
Norstrom -basicaly him for a late first rounder, even swap
Guerin - complete rent a player for a late first rounder even swap
Rivet - complete steal for Montreal
Forsberg - Minimal damage to prospect-rich Nashville, still overpaid
Nagy - Rent a player for late first rounder

Any deal between Anaheim and Toroto would depend on the two teams positions with regards to the playoff picture. If, as expected, anaheim is amongst the top teams in the West, they would probably not pay more then either Ryan or a first rounder, if they are desperate however, they may be willing to trade their later pick and Ryan.

However, the Maple Leafs still being run by MLSE, as long as the leafs have a shot at the playoffs (for extra revenue of course) they will not jeopardize it, even if it means improving the team. So this point is mostly moot.

I`m not going to comment all but here`s a few:

If Toronto are going to make a deal i woudnt consider trading Steen or Stajan unless the deal is irresistable since they are good promising young players and thats what the futur is all about.

Said it before and say it again i believe Forsberg will end his career in Colorado.

The oilers should trade Tarnstrom,they should get good value.

The sens should concentrate on signing Spezza then maybe sign Redden if he is willing to sign for around 4 to 4.5 mill a year NO MORE.

I doubt Pittsburgh would part with Armstrong but if they do Montreal would have to add a decent player along with Halak.Maybe Chipchura would do it?
