Nonis using depth to go shopping....

You could also add the Turris was barely able to stay in the Coyotes line-up last season.  And the Coyotes aren't ripe with top line talent.

I'm not saying anything about Turris' value really or even whether or not a Turris-Franson deal would fly. I don't think Turris is a super-hot commodity right now either. I'm just talking about Franson for the most part.
 
I agree with you on both Nik.  Did I really just write that!!!  It just might be a gamble that could work for both teams??  Although Turris does not excite me he is a young player with planty of talent who could turn into something.

A deal based around Franson and Turris is intriguing, not sure what Phoenix would make of it though.

Turris is seeking $4M+ if memory serves... thats already a dealbreaker I would suspect

He wants 4M+ from Phoenix (he wants out of there.) I'm guessing he'll take less elsewhere.

I think he would take considerably less if he was traded.

That's pretty speculative though, right?

I believe it was the general feeling on the Hotstove (the first Sat. of the season.) Or some other media guys... I can't remember but by in large, speculative. Yes.

It is, but, he is still an RFA, so, any team looking to trade for him can definitely mitigate the level of risking by negotiating the terms of a contract before making the trade.

Sure. I was just wondering if there was a better sense out there about whether or not Turris was a nut or just the anti-Doan.

Right. Of course it's speculative, we aren't part of any negotiations and we're certainly not in the know about what is going on with that situation. But if you are of the belief that Turris just wants out of Phoenix (which I am and have been for a while) then you would have to think that once he got this trade, he would be able to start fresh and earn his pay with his new club.

Being RFA leaves little negotiating power to hold a club hostage for more money, unless of course he has the Star power to back it up, which Turris does not. I just can't see Turris doing the same thing to a new club after he gets what he wants and all things point to that being simply to get out of Phoenix at this point.

I think that's where you lose me. I agree that it's a possibility that Turris wants out of Phoenix but I don't know that anything really points to it. Making outlandish salary demands could just be indicative of him having a false sense of his own worth. If he desperately wanted out of there he could say that.

 
How about St.Louis?  Reading their message boards a lot of fans seem to be preparing for them to deal a forward or two for a defenceman.  A name that a lot of them appear to be discussing is TJ Oshie.

I would guess Burke would be interested but the problem is they would probably want Schenn in return.  He's a fan favourite there.

Either way, looks like a lot of Blues fans are bracing for a possible Oshie trade this year.

I like Oshie (though he burned me in my fantasy league last year) but yeah, he won't come cheap... I mentioned Perron some time ago who might come cheaper with the concussion concern and we know Burke dosn't ming gambling....

Oshie has his own injury concerns.  I don't know how many roster spots you want to gamble on guys who have a history of injuries (we have Connolly and Lombardi already).
