Thread: Long term commitments
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>scarbrow21</b></div><div><i>no chance of unloading all three of Pavelec, Stuart and Throburn to Calgary for wideman.

The thinking on that was that it was a swap of bad contracts (Pavelec and Wideman) into areas where both teams have need. I don't think Thorbs contract is a bad one, he just is losing his ice time to a large crop of prospects the Jets have been harvesting. Stuart was pushing my luck. I was still trying to trade him before other teams realized he wasn't as good as he once was. I think he still carries positive name recognition in the league. Might have to be three separate trades but the Jets usually remain loyal to their old warriors.

Thread: Two simple moves
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>F50marco</b></div><div><i>The Calgary trade makes some sense for both teams even though Pavelec really doesnt help them any more then Hiller or Ramo did. I think they want to get an established starter if they're looking to trade for a goalie. Wideman also would only be getting 5-6 line minutes, which would be taking away from Stuart/Chiarot and potentially Morrisey as a result. Sure the trade CAN work but does it really help either team? Not really IMO.

The Chi trade is IMO, a bit much to give up. Shaw is good but he's also had the opportunity to play with some pretty darn good players these past couple years. If he plays 3rd line minutes with less talented players, i think its fair to say he won't be putting up 3.75M type numbers. The 32nd overall pick this year and a former 1st rounder who still is a decent player is a bit of an over payment i think. But hey Shaw is a playoff style guy that every team wants so sometimes you gotta overpay.</i></div></div>

Do you think Stafford and Connor is a major step back from Teravainen and Fleishmann? I like the idea of adding a guy that puts up 30-40 points playing 14 minutes a night. Burmi put up 21 points playing over 16 minutes a game.
