I think this trade should solidify your defensemen. I'm giving you Murphy as insurance for McCabe who is already having an injury problem... I figure Murphy should see time in your top 6 D-men. You might as well trade Clune who has never played an NHL regular season game, is out with an injury, and is stuck behind Westgarth, Ivanans, Simmonds and O'Donnel among others...
McCabe just was put on the IR by Florida, while Tanabe just retired from hockey... At least Murphy has an assist in the last game I saw him play for Florida... Huskins has already been a healthy scratch as recently as this week... Why not get some cheap insurance for a player that will probably never make the NHL anyways?
Kings will trade...
D-Cory Murphy (Fla)
For[/size]
Richard "The Two Bit Goon" Clune (Kings)
Cory Murphy is supposed to be a power play specialist, he had 12 points on the PP last year... Florida signed him from europe, just like the Devils signed Rafalski years ago, or how Zidlicky signed with Nashville... Murphy had 17 points in 47 games, so he could be good for about 30+ points in a full season... Before coming over from Europe he was a pretty good offensive D-man... He had 13 Goals, 50 Points in 45 games in 2006-07 in Finland... In 2005-2006 he had 13 Goals, 35 Points in 44 games in Sweden... In 2004-2005 he had 12 Goals, 35 Points in 56 games in Finland... In 2003-2004 he had 18 Goals, 44 Points, in 56 games in Finland... I think he would have a shot to stay in your top 6 D-men...[/size]
Your starting D-men are not abysmal, but they are injury prone to say the least... McCabe who is already hurt, only played 54 games with 5 Goals and 23 Points... Salo is a good bet to miss about 20 games a year... In the last 3 years he has averaged 65 games played... He only played 63 games last year, with 8 Goals and 25 Points... Streit had a big year, but he is on the Islanders now, his numbers will likely drop even if he is playing wing on the PP... Hutchinson and Barker are in the minors so they wont provide much help... After that its slimmer pickens with Foote with his 1 Gaol and 100+ PMs... Michalek had a 9 goal season 3 years ago, the last two he has had 4 goals each... That means in 2 years, he has less combined goals than he scored 3 years ago. Huskins looked good picking up 2 minors on league night... Last year he had 4 Goals and 20 Points in about 80 games hehe... Sekera had 2 Goals, 8 Points, in 37 games last year... Not to mention the Sabres play a forward on the point for the PP... Kalinen wont win any awards either with his 1 Goal and 8 points in 46 Games... Being on the same team as Rozsival don't help either, Redden probably will hurt his production...
I guess let me know, I probably will offer Murphy in another trade so they might be gone if wait too long... I just don't like Florida, your in good shape at Enforder, but anemic on Defense... O'Brein getting traded to Vancouver helps, Barch, Prust, and even Staos had a fight on league night... Not to meniton you got voros, bissienent, heh you could start 4-6 enforcers who are in the NHL... I'm not sure you can do the same with the Defense you have...
I'll keep this trade open until October 24th at 8:48 PM... I might still do deal after that but not obligated to...
