With the trade deadline 24 hours away. Here is a list of players of whom we're looking to move, or willing to move.
Trevor Linden - A veteran who's still looking for his first NsHL title. He'll help any team along the stretch run. He does have a no-trade clause, and his agent has told me he'll only accept a trade to a team that's in contention. He is an unrestricted free agent at season's end.
Manny Malhotra - Manny's been a good two way player in Atlanta and has accepted any role with the team that we've asked. He's a strong third/fourth liner, and can add depth to any team wanting a player who can play both sides of the rink.
Scott Walker - A veteran presence who can play any of the top three lines. He has skill, scoring ability, and a tenacious appetite for winning. He's been in the playoffs before with Ottawa and others.
Milan Hnilicka - A veteran goalie who can either start or play a solid back up role. He's a depth player, who may be playing in his final NsHL season. He's played strong for the Thrashers since coming over from Edmonton. He's asked to be moved if possible, to a contender as if this is his last season, he'd like to go out on top, or have the chance to do so.
Todd Simpson - A depth, rugged defenseman who can be a number six, seven or eight. We all know injuries take their toll in the playoffs. Simpson is someone who can help any team out defensively. He's definitely not a liability player.
***Johnathon Cheechoo***
Cheechoo will only be moved if, and only if, we get the deal that we want. We are not offering him to anyone. We are putting his name out there to see what we could possibly get for him.
***Ethan Moreau***
Like Cheechoo, we're not looking to move him, nor are we offering him to anyone. In the right deal, he could move.
***Mike Comrie***
We're very pleased with the way Comrie has adapted down in Atlanta. We're not looking at moving him, and the deal is the same as Cheechoo and Moreau.
------------------------------------------------------------------
We will also consider moving other players, but the players that are untouchable, unless we're absolutely blown away, are the following.
Jason Pominville
Derek Roy
Jeff Carter
Brent Seabrook
Kevin Bieksa
Scott Hannan
Cory Stillman
Jordan Stall
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
We look forward to dealing with all of you at the draft. We're looking to make some moves. And we're looking to get things done. No messing around here. It's the deadline, and there's really no time for negotiations. It's deal or no deal time.
Here's my schedule. I'll be working from 2pm to 7pm, tonight (Tuesday). If you want or need to make me an offer, please do so on the Forum Message Board via the Private Message as it's the only communication I'll have tonight.
Wednesday, Deadline Day, I work from 9am to 2pm or so, then it takes me about half an hour to get home, where I'm planning to get on line immediately. During my work hours, please contact me on the Forum Message Board via the Private Message. From there, I'm on ICQ, MSN at dcherni@hotmail.com, and on the message board and in the chat room.
Please remember that I am a West Coast guy. So the times I work at are on Pacific Standard Time. Which is a three hour difference, (for those who don't know, or forget), if you're on the east coast.
Or, if we really want to get serious, text me at 604-857-2571. We can talk deal that way as well.
Thanks fellow GM's and we'll talk soon!
