Your Friendly Friday Links Roundup: The Hey Now, You're An All-Star Edition
All of your favorite (or second-favorite) players have congregated in Ottawa for a weekend of All-Star debauchery. It will all culminate in a game of shinny on Sunday, when Team Chara MVPerry will battle Team Alfredsson for...for...something? [Ed. Note: Dammit, Kristen. Now I have that stupid song in my head.]

Most recent trade fodder...
According to two ex-NHL players (Patrice Brisebois and Enrico Ciccone), Corey Perry tells Vancouver Canucks players, that “he’ll be joining them soon.”
That’s a ridiculous proposal they made in those threads. Murray would have to be an idiot to make that deal.
wait so you dont think he’s an idiot..?

Thats even beyond Murray’s stupidity. I have a hard time believing Murray would tell him about it even if he was considering a move to Vancouver. He doesn’t have a NTC or NMC. They also have a Perry type player in Burrows.

Both trade proposals are terrible.
I just like to start conversation in the comments thread:-)

There is no way either of these happen
I don’t care who said it, Murray is probably not even allowed to trade Perry. He’s a year removed from his first MVP 50 goal campaign, and you want to trade him for Lydman, Cogs, and an unproven/potential starting goalie. Why would we trade Hiller either, he’s proving again why he’s one of the top goalies in the league when healthy.

You did not just quote HF Boards on my site. That is the most ridiculous thing I’ve ever heard.

I saw that too. I’m guessing they are calling Poile out. Seeing if he is really willing to spend on the rest of the team, not just them.
It is interesting. I think this might make it more likely though that Poile moves him. On a side note did anyone see what the Hurricanes are asking for one of their UFA Dmen? Two 1st rounders or a “A” prospect and a first rounder. Holy crap!!!! What do think the asking price for Weber or Suter is gonna be?

Can you guys at AC start a rumor mill? Claim we have sources and unload Blake and Lyds for 50 goal scorers? Cause we haven’t won any of these fake trades. We haven’t even tied any of these fake trades.
Thats because every east coast or Canadian team are like Laker fans. They truly believe everyone wants the players that they themselves hate. “We’ll give you our worst player and a trash can for two of your best players. Done deal.” Thank god we dont have delusional people like that hear, its starting to drive me crazy.

Laker fans (me) have just been blessed with some of the best trades in history. We’re allowed to shoot for the moon as we haven’t had a great player drafted with our own draft selection in over 40 years. Thats still different then Blake and Lyds for Perry. No laker fan i know is saying Matt Barnes for Howard straight up…
