I'm not sure if I would want to part with any of those guys and especially no how no way for BSRB straight up. I'd be excited about Malone. I've always liked him but it seems many Pens fans have dogged him this year so there must be a reason behind it. Perhaps a change would get him rolling.
I see no reason why Clarke would give up on RJ now. The kid has found his role on the team on the 3rd line. He can play wing or center, is responsible defensively and cycles the puck as well as anyone on the team. Meyer has the talent but is a little small, Branko is a high energy guy who is underrated IMO. He'd fit nice on the second line on this team.
I think if you guys any two of these three you should be satisfied with the trade.

Sorry FN but Radio is not a 2nd line player. Good skater but not much of a scorer.
If CP does this trade he should be beaten. How about Recchi for Sammi?

Great. Our GM, once again, does not know what's going to happen. The insight CP shows is priceless. Will he ever have a plan?

But that's not to say CP couldn't have told anything else. Other GMs do, all the time. CP could have told us "he has a plan and that the organisation is committed to it" or that he plans to upgrade at position X or plans to acquire draft picks mostly or "aims to get ready for next season and position the make up of the team with that in mind" blahblah. Everything would have been better than his usual "Hey, I don't know anything, I just work here" - type of approach.

If I was in charge, this would certainly be my first priority - not to re-sign Craig Patrick and let him go. It seems obvious he doesn't know what he's doing. He's not even trying to tell the press he's doing something.

Guess it would have been better if he outlined exactly what is going to happen.
"There's lots of talk, but, obviously, there have been no deals made," Patrick said. "But I will trade Recchi and Malone to Philadelphia for Freddie Meyer and RJ Umberger, then I will trade John Leclair to Ottawa for Anton Volchenkov, then I will steal a nuke and ransom the world for a million dollars."
