well apparently that trade was just a rumour.

I would do it in a second because the caps are going nowhere with Jags, and
Lundmark is the real deal.. i don't care much for Nedved.

Barnaby is just a character player, plus, he's from my hometown.. so i don't
mind him much, but the key player in this deal is Lundmark.

Probably the Rangers - what is going on with that team besides seriously
underachieving for their payroll?

Seriously though, get rid of Jagr (I love seeing him in a Caps uniform,
but over $10 million a season - give me a break). With that money the Caps
could buy themselves a solid third line (depth tends to win championships,
not a single star player).

Also definately keep Bondra, he might not be the player he once was (and
is arguably overpaid for his production the past few seasons), but in my
opinion he was one of the few players showed up to play against Tampa
(actually I didn't see the whole series, I was in Vancover at the time and
they only televised games 3-6, what a nightmare those were).

I think the Caps want to get rid but aren't able to unload him. I don't even
think the Rags will pick him up. I'm not talking the pros or cons of keeping
him or not keeping him--just the liklihood in my view that he'll be back.

True, i sort of meant that a bit more sarcastically than that came across.
I would be surprised if he was wearing a non caps uniform come next
season.

Then again with the possible salary cap (and alomost guaranteed impending
player strike (or lockout)) that the owners want to put into place
following next season maybe there will be a team wanting to pick him up to
make a run at the cup.

I'm thinking somewhere like Toronto, they haven't won the cup in something
like 40 years and are really hungry for it (look at all the trades they
made at the deadline). Then again their majority owner is the Ontario
Teachers Pension Plan (if memory serves me right) - I doubt they would be
too interested in adding that salary to the team.

Then again this is all speculation, i'm almost entirely sure jagr will be
back next year (hopefully with some new linemates who can bring the Jagr
of yesteryear back)
