Part 3 of 3 Blue Jackets and Bobby Ryan

So here's the last one. Columbus and Anaheim. Would this be possible?  This is a good idea in a way. There have been a lot of players in discussion from Fedor Tyutin and Derrick Brassard but all in all there's been one name that's named A LOT for one to one player. Jeff Carter. It's been clear that he is unhappy with Columbus and his desire to leave to a different place. Would this work? It could? but a big problem with that is Anaheim does NOT want him to be in the western conference because they fear of the damage he could do when the two face. So in conclusion would this deal happen? Probably not, but weirder things have happened in sports.

Part 2 of 3 Sabres and Ryan.

Another interesting team that was listed was the Sabres. Sabres have a good goalie, (supposedly) good defense and an alright set of forwards. There was a small rumor going on for Ryan Miller to the Ducks for Bobby Ryan. A one for one trade. This was because Hiller was struggling and Buffalo has a capable number one goalie playing as a back up in Jhonas Enroth. Personally, I think this is just a really bad rumor. The Ducks are NOT giving up on Enroth and Ryan being traded apparently has partly to do with money. Ryan's contract is $5.325M while Miller's is $6.25M so if the rumor about money is true, this wouldn't work.

A source affiliated with Queen City Sports says that Sabres have an offer on the table with Drew Stafford, A young NHL ready player (probably Ennis) and a Defenseman Prospect.

So what do you think the Ducks will do?

Leafs and Bobby Ryan. Sabres and Blue Jackets to come soon!

Recently, a big name on the trading block has been Duck's Bobby Ryan. This has been big because there hasn't been such a big name on the trading block since let's say Dany Heatley. But if the difference is Dany Heatley's problem was that he was unhappy playing in Ottawa. In this scenario, Bobby Ryan is HAPPY in Anaheim and it according to people, Ducks management isn’t "giving up" but that it's a money issue. I'm not too sure what it's meant, but it has become a full on battle for the talented winger.

Anaheim sees this opportunity and knows it. They would prefer to trade him to the east because they wouldn’t have to face him. It just comes to show how good of a player he is. His old team doesn't want to face him because he's such a dominant player. 

Toronto, Columbus, and Buffalo are said to be the top teams looking for his service.

Toronto has a history with Anaheim management wise. If you remember, Burke was from Anaheim and has done numerous trades with them before. It would be a smart deal for Toronto but who would the Leafs have to give up for him? The starting price would have to be a young defenseman, such as Luke Schenn or Cody Franson a young guy like Kadri, and a 2012 First Round Draft Pick. Is this a smart idea? Personally, I think yes it is completely worth it. Luke Schenn OR Cody Franson, not both. If one gets traded away we have the other to take their spot. Kadri hasn't done well this year and his time is ticking. If he hasn't improved this year you'd have to think he's not going to be the player Burke drafted him to be.  The last thing is a 2012 First Round Draft Pick. Under any circumstances I don't like the trading of a first round pick. First Round Picks usually end up at least an average player. However, this is different. The Leafs are doing pretty well so the pick I’d have to think it'd be a mid-level pick. Bobby Ryan was a second overall pick. He was behind a guy named Sidney Crosby (turned out to be pretty good eh?) So if it wasn't for once in a decade player like him, Ryan would be the first overall pick.  So a young defenseman that we have many of, a failing prospect and a draft pick we have a few of. So we're trading our extras and a failing prospect for an established TOP SIX player that we desire so badly. What would you do if you were the Leafs? COMMENT BELOW!

The best Canadian team?

This debate has been going on since way back during the Original Six! Last year it was the Canucks but this year I believe it will be the Leafs! (I am a bit biased because I am from Toronto) which team do you think will finish the regular season as the best Canadian team?

6 all star picks!

Alright! so you're in charge of making a team in this years NHL all star game! SO you get 6 picks! 3 forwards 2 defenseman and 1 goalie!  Who would you choose? COMMENT BELOW!

Maurice and Boudreau fired?!

As said before Bruce Boudreau has been fired. His replacment is Dale Hunter. Caps GM told reporters today that players had been tuning him out.

Paul Maurice of the Hurricane has also been fired as Coach of the Carolina Hurricanes. His replacement is Kirk Mueller.

What do you think Boudreau and Maurice's next job will me? Comment below!

Boudreau Fired?

On air, Sportsnet Analyst Nick Kypreos said that there is a chance that Washington Capitals head coach could be fired within 24-48 hours. What do you guys think about this?

Background Yay or Nay?

So we got a new background! So i'm a Pens fan and Kyle's a Caps fan so we're gonna combine it! SO WHAT DO YOU GUYS THINK OF IT?

We'd love to hear about when you think Reimer's going to be back!

So James Reimer has been out for a while now. Lots of analyst think that he'll be back in about 2 weeks.  Do you think he should come back to a massive workload or do you think he should be brought back to the lineup slowly? COMMENT BELOW!
