Hey, he scored last night. <BR/><BR/>Meanwhile, I agree with all of your trade ideas. Like you said, try to sign Marty the Party to an extension; if he doesn't want to, trade him now and see what we can get. <BR/><BR/>If Havelid, Perrin, and Pavelec aren't gone at the trade deadline I'll be most upset. They're all good players that could bring us something in return. I'd like to trade Exelby, but somehow I expect him to stay forever.Mortimer Peacockhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04624643069613171619noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3345962750124330515.post-80531702289957080562009-02-20T15:34:00.000-05:002009-02-20T15:34:00.000-05:00I'll play GM for a second here.

Try to sign Reasoner to an extension in the next week or so. If he doesn't sign, trade him, too. Trade Pavelec, NOT Lehtonen. I understand Kari would bring more in return, but he can be brilliant. He just needs some consistency. Plus, it seems like he is used to being bombarded with 40+ shots night after night. Trade Kozlov. I know, he's an important part of this team, but he's old. Realistically, by the time the Thrashers are contenders, Kozlov will be sipping Coronas on a beach somewhere. Sell high on him and get young assets back in return. Pittsburgh? Rangers? Bruins? Canadiens? All these teams need scoring and have assets to trade in return, whether it be young players or picks. Exelby must go. He seems more and more like a liability. I would be just fine with Bogo, Oystrick, Valabik, Hainsey, Kulda, and Hedman as my top 6 defensemen going into next year. I'm torn on White. Trading him this year would definitely be selling high on him, but he's not that old and he does seem to have a good chemistry with almost anyone he's put with. Kovalchuk, Bogosian, Little, Lehtonen, Hainsey, Armstrong, and (gulp) Christensen are the core I would build around. I haven't given up hope on Christensen yet.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
