I doubt they'd trade another 1st rounder after giving up their 2012 pick. If Russ doesn't make a move it will only confirm what a moron he is as a GM.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5761720971433980858.post-75543822040884654012012-01-09T18:19:00.617-08:002012-01-09T18:19:00.617-08:00Troock has been emulating Noebels to some extent t...Troock has been emulating Noebels to some extent this season but he is a young and maybe he gets his head on straight. Don't forget he missed almost all of last season and a good portion of this season. He may be trying to make up for lost time and do too much. He hadn't had that reputation before as far as I know and he is our most talented young offensive player. We don't know if Gropp will even end up signing with us. What's the current thinking on Hauf? He is a young 16 yr old who needs ice time, is he showing enough progress or will he be another first round dissapointment?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5761720971433980858.post-27033495327065115612012-01-09T15:41:12.194-08:002012-01-09T15:41:12.194-08:00While I agree with most of what you say don't ...While I agree with most of what you say don't forget that other teams have needs and wants that may not fit with what Russ wants or needs to do. As far a the 3 20 year olds, that's a tough one because most teams already have 3. Noebels is the same issue, as a euro most teams have their 2. I agrre trading Trock might get you the most value but if he has a healthy season he will be a producer. Most of the 19 year olds could go without much impact, keepers would be Rouse & Lockhart as both are likely back as 20s. Pickard could go only for his benefit, I think this team will make the playoffs wiht his replacement or Cotton becuase the teams behind are even weaker than Seattle. Any way we'll know in the next 20 hours.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5761720971433980858.post-35571115137076856452012-01-09T15:35:39.870-08:002012-01-09T15:35:39.870-08:00I believe with injured players they will do a &quo...I believe with injured players they will do a "conditional" tradeAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5761720971433980858.post-41342767218265515502012-01-09T15:09:57.178-08:002012-01-09T15:09:57.178-08:00Well the only guys hurt would be Machacek and/or V...Well the only guys hurt would be Machacek and/or Verdino.
