I have heard David Legwand is available and Gainey is interested. What do you guys think.
Former 2nd overall pick, has been in the league a while. RFA (1.9 last year) eligible for UFA next year. Hasn't really lived up to offensive promise yet, but has been stuck on low scoring Nashville in the past (only this year that changed). Still has put up ok, but not great numbers. Was drafted high because he is a big centre with good speed. Would he fit well in our lineup? A change of scenery might do him good.
hey beaker, where did you read that, i'd like to know. And yes i'd do this trade.
Its a bit of speculation i picked up on another board. There is a poster there who apparently has some inside source of some kind, who says Gainey and Legwands agent have talked (he is RFA headed to arbitration right now). Now normally i put these type of reports in my "someone is claiming something and is just trying to rile people up/look cool/ they really have no inside info pile" but this particular poster has had some scoops recently and in the past. Hes well respected for his inside knowledge on that board, much like noone questions Barry and CJ's relatationships on this board. If he says guys have talked, they probably have and i wouldn't be surprised if a "legit" place has this rumour up shortly. For example he knew of the offers to Shanny and Elias before they were reported on by RDS. Now he is saying Gainey has made inquiries as to what it would take to get Legwand.
The Zednick part of the rumour is my added speculation, as that is what i think might be a place to start offers.
What would others offer to get Legwand, what do you think Nash will want.
