Na tegnap még volt egy Burke conference:

- would have rather acquired a roster player, or a player close to being NHL-ready, but felt that the 1st + 3rd that Philadelphia offered was a package that they had to accept at this point, and that they wouldn't be able to work out a better deal than that by/on Feb. 28th

- 3rd round pick has already been offered to another team in exchange for a forward, not a defenseman, and this deal would involve taking on salary....did not specify as to whether it was the 3rd alone being offered or if it was part of a package

- 1st rounder has not been put into play, but they would be willing to trade it for the right player

- not interested in acquiring players that don't fit within their age specifications

- intend to be active on July 1st

- Rick Curran has requested complete secrecy on any dealings involving Kaberle

- with both Gustavsson and Rynnas out, they have no intention of moving Giguere at this point, but that could change over the next couple of weeks

Also, just for the record, Burke said that with the cap space they had even before trading Versteeg, they hypothetically could've added a player making $6M; he didn't necessarily say that there is a deal on the table for a player making $6M.


Nagyjából ezek voltak benne. Szóval legalább egy embert még hozunk..aki szerintem tuti Top 6 lesz. Kaberle így lehet menni fog..kétlem, hogy simán a 3rd pickért behúzunk egy jó forwardot, hacsak nem tényleg nagy salaryt húzunk be.
Jiggy még most nem mehet, mert Gustavsson és Rynnas is sérült, de deadline-kor szerintem már távozni fog.

Összességében: Kurva jól csinálta ezt a két cserét Burke. Beau-ért és Versteeg-ért is simán többet kaptunk szerintem, mint amennyit érnek. Ráadásul Versteeg nem akart maradni. Én csíptem, de így tényleg nincs értelme.

Kíváncsi vagyok kit hozunk.
