NHL Trade Deadline 2011 Open Thread II: Dvorak On The Move Again

Good Morning Everyone:
Here is your second open thread of the day. There will be a new thread at the top of every hour, with updated information from the previous hour.
Let's try and avoid all the Fan Posts and Fan Shots about trades, so we can keep all the information to the threads.
Remember, a full recap of the day's events and more tonight on Blueshirt Banter Radio at 8 PM
Have at it kids.....
Update by Joe Fortunato:
10:40: Radek Dvorak is on the move again, getting traded from Florida to Atlanta for Niclas Bergfors. Lou Lamoriello deserves some credit here for trading Bergfors high (for Ilya Kovalchuk) since he's now being moved for Dvorak. Want to know the other play in this deal? Patrick Rissmiller. He's going to the Panthers.
More when we have it guys. The opening hours of the deadline are always slow.
Richards rumor of the hour: Seems like Dallas won't budge, and multiple twitter sources are saying that too many roster players would have to go back to the Stars to get anything done. It seems that John Tortorella and Glen Sather agree that Richards is too expensive right now.
But time can change that. On deadline day, it usually does.

In what way? That Atlanta paid out the ass to get him? Yeah, I agree.

What does the headline say
“Panthers trade fifth string powerplay specialist to the Rangers for AHL player and middle round pick”
It’s a good trade for both sides, but not a blockbuster deal.
Yes
He has a great slapshot from the point on the power play. But he was still the Panther’s fifth man on defense.And he brought back only a minor leaguer and middle round draft pick. The trade was a far cry from Stewart, Johnson, Shattenkirk, etc.
True can’t really argue that point though with us he can just be a 3rd or 4th D man and a PP specialist.

For 18 games, why give up anything? Hopefully Sather keeps his trade track record solid and avoids this one. Stastny though…

It’s a total fallacy to think we’d be giving ourselves a leg up on negotiations. Richards can write his own ticket this off-season. If he wants to come to NY, he’s going to do it regardless of what happens between now and July 1st.

This Richards stuff is ridiculous
We’ve talked about this a lot regarding the Johan Santana trade – you’re talking about trading young, cheap, talented players for the right to sign Richards to the huge extension he’s reportedly asking for from Dallas. If he really wants to play in NY, let him sign here as a free agent in the summer. The rumored asking price is insane. I’d love to have him on the Rangers, but overpaying makes no sense.
Got to give to get
I agree price is insane but if you do get him today its not going to be for a mid level prospect and a 7th.
The Mets gave up 4 grade B prospects for Johan. If the Stars are willing to take Wiese, Kolarak, Gilroy and a 2nd rounder for Richards, I would make that deal.
Right, right
I’m not saying it’s EXACTLY the same situation, I’m saying that the cost should be lower because you’re getting 1/3 of a season of the guy (when he’s coming off a concussion), plus the right to pay him a lot of money before anyone else can.
Whole lotta
Hype so far. Have about 3 hours left but this year looks like a lot less action than last years deadline.
OUCH MY ELBOW HURTS!

Vast majority of trades generally come after noon ET at the deadline. Nearly 90% of deals were in final three hours last year.

Although
McCabe is better than Wideman so we win

Well not really
But McCabe does play more on the PP. He has that. Wideman is a better player overall and plays much tougher minutes than McCabe.
19 PP points, also a -26 on a team with Vokoun…

You lost me at +/-
With no context. Vokoun is good, not great. He’s better in fantasy than in real life so I don’t see how his presence should relate to the points or +/- for a player
His 9 goals tells me you're right
His -24 tells me about the overall player stuff, your wrong lol

Save% with McCabe on the ice .930
Save% with Wideman on the ice .886
I wouldn’t classify Wideman as certainly better, he’s probably a tick better, which means Hasuwirth should be a tick better than Kennedy. I know nothing about him, so dunno if that’s true.

Jimmy Howard’s contract extension is two years at $2.25M. Technically, the deal is not quite done, but no problems anticipated..

Draft class?
How strong is the draft class this year? I mean is stocking up on picks the best move for a team like FL or more of a way to parley picks into other acquisitions on draft day?
allegedly weak, but other than that I can't say anything too informed about it right now

can never really tell.
Depends how players develop can’t miss players miss all the time and then guys like Lundqvist (7th) and Stepan (3rd) turn out to be very good.
I keep reading that the draft from pick 6 to 26 is a crap shoot, then from rounds 2 and 3 players its totally up in the air.
Which probably means there are a few Callahan’s out there to be had in the fourth round

Actually
I think Joe N. Could easily make the move, I don’t think they make the playoffs especially with trading away Neal.
Goligoski was a product of playing with Crosby and along side Letang, IMO
