*sigh*

There’s literally NO POINT in giving up Varlamov or Holtby. The trade market for goalies is essentially worthless. Look at what Halak fetched. And none of our goalies are going to be worth as much as Halak. Heck, historically, look at how little Patrick Roy cost.

And if you are seriously suggesting that we should give up on Green or Semin, you’re clueless. Green has been playing terrific defense this season, and his offense is still fantastic. He’s been a Norris finalist two years in a row. There’s no defensemen even near his caliber on the trade market (no, Nashville isn’t trading Weber).

And who do we trade Semin for that actually makes our team better? Nobody is going to give up a whole lot of NHL talent for a player who is a UFA after the season. Semin would be considered a rental to other NHL teams, meaning his market would be teams in contention. And they’re going to want to give up picks/prospects, not NHL talent. LA isn’t going to give us Kopitar for Semin. Dallas would rather keep their UFA (Richards) than trade for one even less likely to sign with them.

You’re a freaking joke. Think about what you say.

Duh. So give up something major. Or dwell in mediocrity. Give up Semin or Green or Varlamov or Holtby. Acquire a legit Center or shutdown defenseman.

GMGM is a joke. My patience has run out on him.
