Not In Rebuild Mode was the clear message GM Los wants to give the Other NsHL GM's when referring to the upcoming trade summit.
Because of the 3 team trade last weekend that landed Boyes and Hartnell on the Devils roster their seems to be the assumption the GM wants to rebuild, which is no way true.
GM Los will be attending the summit, be it a bit later due to Mountain standard time.
Getting younger to trim the payroll a is the #1 priority, but by no means does this mean trading good veteran players to land draft picks or prospects who are years away from helping the team.
If we trade a veteran player it will be to have a player in place now to help the team this season.
Brodeur, Iginla, Steen, Boyes, Hartnell, Franzen, Slater, Berglund, Johnson = These players the team is not interested in trading.
This does not mean we will not look at offers, it just means you have to send the offer and overwhelm us, cause we will not get into bargaining what prospect or what draft pick for them.
If your offer is a great offer it could happen, if its not then too bad. we will not be going back and fourth with these players.
Drury, Rafalski, Gratton = These players the team might consider moving for the right offer.
These are good veteran players, we will need someone younger with NsHL experience to plug into their place. Younger and cheaper NsHL ready players would be preferred.
We are in no hurry to trade these players. So please good offers only, No older players and specially no older guys playing in Europe.
Madden, McCabe, Sydor, Sarich, Weeks = These players were recently acquired,so the team would prefer not to move them.
It would take a hell of an offer for me to pull off a Dealin Dave and trade players I just got.
Please remember we will hear it from the Player Agents for a while so the deal better be one hell of a deal for us to get chewed out and take a big hit on our reputation of treatment of players. Player agents will probably come into play with these players before we move them.
Clemmensen, Hedican = Will trade for a 3rd line NsHL ready winger.
Thats all good luck to everyone.. and Offer away....
