Don’t trade him! He’s doing his best?

Question

What player on your favorite team do you really like, but are always afraid he’s going to get traded? Why are you afraid this particular player is going to get traded?

It already happened to me when the Stars traded Jussi Jokinen. Now, I didn’t hate the trade since we got Brad Richards, but I always had the fear that Jussie was going to get traded away.

Answer 1

A lot of people in Pitt were upset when they traded Colby Armstrong as part of the deal for Hossa.  "Army" was a HUGE fan favorite!

During the playoffs, Hossa has made it look like a good deal (so far), but we all know he's just a rental, and we miss Army!  Maybe we can sign him back when he becomes a free agent.  That's what I hope!

Answer 2

Andrei Kostitsyn - there is rumors about a russian team who made him an offer and with this good season I think a lot of teams would like to have him if the habs don't have the money to resign him

Answer 3

Buffalo already traded away all those players lol

Answer 4

Man... I'd say Lundqvist and Avery, though Avery is unsigned right now.  I'm always saying the Rangers need to up their effort... so any of the young players, or the players with heart, I hate to see go.  Right now, I'd be pissed if Dubinsky were traded.  I would be upset if Dawes or Callahan were traded, too, but I'd have to see what we got in the trade for them first.

Along those same lines, I was upset when Ortmeyer left via free agency.  Though I understand... it's not like he was real good at hockey heh.

I was REALLY upset when Leetch was traded.  Not only was he my favorite player, but he had been a Ranger his whole career and Sather didn't even tell him it was a possibility.  Just called him up and told him he had a flight to toronto.  :(.

Also... I hate Peca.  He's an *******.  He goes after people's knees CONSTANTLY (at least he used to, I haven't seen him play in like two years).  I hated him from his Islander-days, and I would always argue with my sabres-fan friends since they loved him from his sabre-days.

Answer 5

The Wings rarely make a blockbuster trade, seems like we always just buy up the big name free agents when possible. I guess my answer is Im not really afraid of them trading away anyone I care about or not re-signing their stars like Buffalo neglected to do a few years back.

Dont remind me Buffalo Boy :( After my boy Ryan Miller got drafted by the Sabres I was all mad psyched about them.  They played great for one year then everyone in front of Miller just disappeared from the franchise.

Answer 6

I'd be upset if ALMOST anyone on the Rangers roster was traded ( With the exception of Malik and Backman ) The one that seems most likely, though, would have to be Sean Avery. I would be possibly devastated if he was traded. It also seems the most likely with his free agency.

Answer 7

This is an easy one....for me at least.  Patrick Marleau.  The guy has a bad 3 quarters of a season and the SJ fans (roll eyes) calls for his head.  Nevermind his contributions prior to that nor the fact he doesn't have Ron Wilson's support behind closed doors, nor the fact that he's always put with new linemates, but that his numbers didn't match last year's breakout.  Thornton may be the superstar on the team, Roenick may be the vocal one on the team, but Marleau is the heart of the team.  The fear of him getting traded stems from the lack of progress in the playoffs, the pressure from the top brass on Doug Wilson to make changes, and that rumors keep flying everywhere that involve his name.  We just have to last till July 1st and Marleau will be ok!  Another day down, another 32 to go!!!

Answer 8

Mats Sundin.... i am sooooo happy that he refused to  waive his no-trade clause and decided to stay in toronto. i swear i

was the happiest person on that day. but i know that soon or later he will either  retire or get traded. he is getting old and i would love if he finishes his career as a maple leaf.

Answer 9

wings - i'd like to see us keep our corps of young defensemen and develop them more. if Lidstrom stays around for a little while longer, he will be a good mentor.

lidstrom is really the only defenceman that we've kept from the beginning and developed into a mature veteran. everyone else we sign as a F/A, or trade away before they get too old.

Answer 10

Some Players of the HABS Don't Know who yet.

Answer 11

The day Colby Armstrong and Eric Christensen were traded I cried. lol. Just kidding but I could have. The I realized we got Hossa and Dupuis and I was a little better. But I still miss them lol.

Answer 12

Id HATE to see a guy like Cleary or Franzen to get traded away from the Red Wings.

Answer 13

I'm not worried about the Red Wings right now, they know what they're doing.

But I was pretty scared at the deadline when the Valterri Fillppula rumors were circulating, glad he's still here.

Answer 14

Detroit - Basically anyone on the roster.

Columbus - I was always afraid that Marc Denis would be traded, and traded he was, lol. I don't want to see Columbus give up Peca or Modin, they are some of the only veteran leadership that Columbus has.

None Profound - I truly have no idea, he is a capable leader. What's up with the three thumb downs? lmao.

Answer 15

Rob Blake. He has great leadership and he wants to win and the kings are most likely going to want to accomodate him because of what he did for that franchise

Answer 16

It already happend; Brian Campbell when he was a Sabre, I wanted him to be Captain.

And then theres, Briere, Drury, Gereer, Dumont, Conklin, MCKEE :-(

yea Scott D, all throughout the season we would get reminded or think about how much better we could be and it gets me sick to my stomach

Answer 17

As a Montreal fan, I fear that Mark Streit might be dealt ..

Answer 18

well it alredy happened colby armstrong on the pens and we got hossa and he sucks armstrong was so much better it was on 02/26/08 but i am still so mad and upset about it i cryed i have to say i did

Answer 19

yeah, I agree with Jokenin, but the one I really hated to see go was smith, not hating on Turco, but I loved smitty!
