Trades

Is it true that the penguins might be interested in aquiring Marian Hossa from atlanta before the trade deadline this year. If so who all would we be willing to give up for him?

[Pitts]

No, they are not.

[pens#1]

i guess there wanst any other trade Threads that you could have put that in?

Every team in the league would be "interested" in Hossa. Not likely the Pens are going to part with what it would take to get him.

They (Atlanta) are looking for a roster player, prospect, and draft picks. And Hossa is a UFA at the end of the season and is looking for a deal in the $6-* million a year range, so you have to resign him.

Just seems a bit steep.

I know my post count isn't high but can we please please have a threadstarter post limit of like 500-750? It's been asked a billion times I am sure but is there a real reason why not? I know they sometimes fail but I do know they work. Let's see what happens with one. If it fails, just remove the imposed limit.

Or we can make a poll to ban the user and IP if a dumb thread is created.

EC, Goligoski and a 1st rounder might get it done.

I think this is on target - yes they'd have interest, but it would take Jordan Staal plus more to get it done, so no it isn't going to happen.

Yesterday legit news sources have San Jose pushing hard offering either Marleau or Cheechoo, plus a prospect and pick - if that is true I don't know what ATL is waiting for - Montreal is trying to pass off Ryder - it will take Higgins plus prospect and pick to come close - Pens really can't match either offer without Staal involved.

Boston also wants him but are trying to pass off Murray which I can't imagine being of interest to Atlanta - now Kessel and Strum would be a different scenario.

Supposedly teams will have 48 hour window to try to resign Hossa, but it looks like unless 5ys 40mil is offered he's going to UFA this July.

Prospal is probably the highest level of 'rental' the Pens will be able to snag.

I still think if Flames are set on moving Tanguay and they can't somehow use him in a package to land Sundin or Jokinen, then the Pens could perhaps get him in a nice deal since Calgary will be in a position of weakness (1, Tanguay can block any trade because he has a no-trade clause; supposedly he has no interest in going to Montreal for example; 2, others know Calgary needs to move him if they expect to resign Langkow and Huselius)

- But there is no way of knowing what teams Tanguay would waive his no-trade rights to go to. Pitt would seemingly be attractive, but who knows?

[pens#1]

not to alex tanguay and YES to Huselius

[Vanbiesbrouck]

No, they are not.

What team wouldn't be interested? Interested and having the shoppable means to get it done are 2 different things.

[Pitts]

No, they are not.

From all th rumors, Montreal already has him locked up and has the assets to do it. I'm not sure they will be able re-sign him though.

The Pens should not part with what it will take to get him when they WILL NOT re-sign him to a contract first.

[Pitts]

not to alex tanguay and YES to Huselius

Husleius will be a UFA and will command much more than the Pens will want to or should pay. Calgary will do everything they can to re-sign him.

[pens#1]

he will get somewhere around the 5.5 that tanguay is to get next season - us getting him now helps for the playoffs and also gives us the inside track on resigning him

[Firebird]

Let's not trade away any first rounders this year.

That would be stupid.

[Maestro]

But the whole idea is that Calgary intends to keep Huselius - but in order to do so must move Tanguay - when you consider the $ going to Reger, Phaneuf, Iginla, and what they will have to give to Langkow

Tanguay has not fit in well with Calgary, but Pens are closer to what the Avs were when Tanguay played with them - Tanguay is signed for next season than can be let go if the Pens need to trim payroll for their RFAs -

If we assume Huselius is not available (which I would say is a safe assumption) and guys like Hossa are too costly - then Tanguay would be a nice pickup in my opinion

Or everyone else could learn to exercise some self-control and ignore posts you don't like. It isn't that hard.

[Pens4Life]

At some point we will have to pay some good money to get good scorer,soo if Hossa,Tanguay or Cheechoo can be a Penguins players,soo get him them here and re-sign them next season or whatever...
For a really good sniper we will pay from 4-6 millions $...
