Looking forward to your answer, if you care to play. Ahh, don't worry, simply play, "Shiny Happy People" while watching old, glorious, games while dreaming of bigger things!

Right? I think that's reasonable to assume. Isn't it a FACT that neither CHOSE Atlanta. Therein lies some difficulty. To trade for them ... means to sign players who didn't AGREE to be here. Who didn't INTEND to play in our market. What's the rule? "Don't trade for players who don't want to be here." You'll never keep them. And their heart's desires lie elsewhere. Why am I now hearing John Belushi and Dan Ackroyd singing (Baby don'tcha wanna go, to that same ol' place,) "Sweet Home, Chicago!" But I certainly agree there's still cap room for players wanting to try Atlanta on a 1-year deal, with a "handshake agreement" that we'll trade them at the deadline to a contender, if things don't turn out so well.

Are you thinking Valabik for Barker? Trouble is, he's not signed yet. So we don't know his salary. And that would bring forth the masses to say, "Yet A-NOTHER 1st rounder traded out?" Although, I'd argue, 3rd overall for our 10th overall. That's an acceptable swap. Are you thinking Boulton, Thorburn or Slater, or some combination thereof, for Versteeg? If I were Chicago, I'd hold on to Versteeg. And Bryan Little is off the table of ideas for a trade. Are you thinking Rich Peverley? That's intriguing. But Peverley, by many people's estimation, will be Atlanta's #1 center coming into this season, barring some miracle trade. So, are you thinking Pavelec for Versteeg? I like Kris Versteeg. And I like Cam Barker. But the most important position on the ice ... is the goaltender. There's nothing wrong with Pavelec, except that's he's still very young and developing. Once Pavelec is an established NHL goaltender, we'll be glad we kept him. (Now, if Pavelec and his agent have said, PRIVATELY, "Trade me! Trade me RIGHT FREKKIN' NOW!" Then slammed down the phone. I'd think about it. Since he's not happy. But we don't know that. At all.) Who do the Blackhawks want, Anti-Spirit? Are you thinking Valabik for Barker? Trouble is, he’s not signed yet.

They are both very young and only going to get better. Only way it works is to take more salary from Chicago than we give up & we have the room to do so!

Very fluid skater and has great hands to go with it. Was also impressed with Kilingberg and Leveille. Kane was impressive for being rusty. Very fluid skater and has great hands to go with it.
