Trade Corvo? Is somebody on drugs or something? Corvo and Pik are our 2 best D-men. Have you guys heard anything about seriously trading Corvo?

woah, corvo for schaeffer? that sounds like a hockeybuzz rumor to me!

Bruce Garrioch, a journalist from Ottawa started the Corvo rumor a couple of weeks ago. Many think it’s out of spite, because Corvo was so happy to leave Ottawa and it’s hyper-critical local press corps.

But one never knows.

One thing for sure, the fanbase would be very unhappy if Corvo is moved.

true.

and corvo for schaeffer seems one sided

Trade Corvo? You’ve got to be kidding!!

Schaeffer’s cap hit is still $2.1M, IIRC. That’s a lateral move salary-wise, pretty much. I also think the team would look to the West for a move like this (though not Corvo … he’s a good player with a decent cap number).

As for Pitkanen at forward … maybe not an ideal situation, but I think I might be OK with him playing a double-shift shift at forward (along with a few others) if i means dressing a seventh d-man who can maybe help the PK (Melichar) or give Babchuk a shot at the PP point.

In the end, though, I think this might just be a small thing that really holds no weight. But you never know, right?

Trading Corvo now would be disasterous for this team and it’s fragile fan base. With Corvo’s fan base and our need of consistant defenseman, talk about ticket sales going down, let them try.

You know this team sometimes reminds me of an unstable stock market. When we are short on forwards for a short term, they panic and want to trade off good defenseman and when we are short on defenseman short term, they panic and trade off forwards without considering the long term circumstances of their actions for this team. It’s like watching a yo-yo or tennis match. Please Canes organization make up your mind, do we need forwards or defenseman. How about we use Albany players and wait it out a bit, it’s not like Walker and Williams are out for the season and jeezus it’s early in the season yet. Remember this guy named Cole that played forward that you traded away?—-Just my rant if they trade Corvo for a short term forward.

I am familiar with Garrioch. Bruce ‘X Superstar to the Kings’ Garrioch is fairly laughable. I believe he writes for the Ottawa Sun?

Correct Tokyo, he writes for the Sun.

I think the Canes are doing fine offensively. We would be 3-0-0 right now if our PK were better. I really don’t think there is any need to get another forward. Also if Boychuk does well, it makes our game that much better. That Corvo rumor better be a joke. He is an excellent offensive D-Man.
