atlanta is looking to move mark smth 69 (73 df decent third line for sharks) Kristian Huselious (49 points nhl) Roman Hamrlik 74 (good pp guy for any playoff team) Mike Fisher 73
looking to move these guys for a good number 2 d-man
An underachieving forward for an offensive defenseman (76 PC) who'll re-rate well.
Suppy and demand.
Russell is a 5'9' defenseman prospect, so really was marginal.
Anyways, thanks for clarifying your statement: "He's not available"
To be clear: Corvo is NOT on the market but Thrashers inquired and after some thought put together what it would take to get him. I think Fisher=Corvo with neal the difference. Russell is a shot in the dark, but I can understand how some might think he'll beat the odds against injury and adjustment problems that the vast majority of small prospects face.
Yeah from all accounts Russell will be a very good offensive defenseman. Neal is a really solid prospect, and Corvo sucks!!!
