2008 NHL Playoffs - GO SENS GO

Emery can be bought out at any point between June 15-30 I believe are the dates to make him an unrestricted free agent July 1.

You'd be surprised what a team would part with to get someone who could pot a few goals. I can't see giving up 3 roster players for Luongo, but knowing that Ottawa is picking up 500-600k of Emery's salary over 4 years would make that enticing I'm sure.

Vancouver isn't that bad defensively, they just need people to put the puck in the net. If nothing else, Spezza definitely draws attention to himself which would spread out the ice for other people.

The real problem right now, is without a GM in the mix in Vancouver right now, a newbie GM, or even new to the area, isn't going to pull that trigger in their first month of being the GM out there. If Nonis was still there, this might have legs.

Ultimately, Gerber was not the problem in this series, it was the "hallowed 3". They were worse than brutal in this series, granted Alfie only played 2 games. Gerber was fantastic (again) tonight.

In all fairness I don't think you can group Alfredsson with the other two linemates. He played the two games with a torn MCL!

This has no legs whatsoever. Never would, never will. Unless they were about to lose him for nothing, why on earth would the 'Nucks trade the best goaltender in hockey? There are rumours that his wife hates Vancouver, but he's been very clear that he wants to stay. Short of a Pronger-type situation, this is not going to happen.
