2nd UPDATE - Morris To Sit Out Until Traded

3rd_morris02_1227293897165_medium

 

(3/3) Second report out of TSN tonight Bob McKensie reports that the Morris deal could get done tonight. He suggests that one possible piece back could be the Caps' Tom Poti who was with the Rangers durning GM DOn Maloney's time there. Maloney does like his pickups from back then...

(3/3) TSN now reporting that there are three teams still in the running for Morris. The Boston Bruins, Washington Capitals and Philadelphia Flyers. There are some interesting players to be had on those teams. The other good thing is that they're all east coast which means he may be more interested in coming back at season's end. We can only hope... Anyhow come up with the best trade you can make using one of those three teams.

 

2/28
TSN is reporting That defenseman Derek Morris has given GM Don Maloney a list of teams he would be willing to waive his NTC to go to. In order to prevent an injury in the meantime, DMo will sit out tonight's game against the Blues.

This is a really unfortunate turn for the team. Morris is a solid defenseman and an all around great guy. He's always at the fan events and is probably the 2nd most popular guy with the local fans after Shane Doan. Hopefully some sign and trade deal isn't necessary as if we were able to straighten out our financial situation, sooner rather than later, there's a possibility of getting him back as he becomes an Unrestricted Free Agent at season's end. It's not that far fetched either. His familty has been here for quite some time and he's the only Coyote player I know of that stays here all summer rather than going back to Canada or wherever. Even more unfortunate is that we won't get to see him play here again and send him off right...

Apparently

I know few things about what this guy offered to the team, so I would like to know what are the chances of getting (a) new player(s) that can effectively help and improve the team?

My body might be in Greece, but my mind and my heart is in Arizona. When the heck will I visit the Desert?

Slim and none

and Slim just left the room. DMo is one of a kind. But we aren’t that desperate on the blue line with at least 2 NHL ready defensemen in Ahnelov, Summers and Goncharov ready to join the team over the next 2 seasons. Jonas is ready for this season, Goncharov has 1 more year on his Russian contract, Summers is ready but is still in college (nice thing about Summers is that he can play defense and offense very well.

Takin over the NHL, 1 blocked shot at a time... Go Z!

Go Caps!

then at least I can still root for him… the Caps are one of my backup teams.

Go Caps indeed!

Ok, Z4, I think we might be twins separated at birth. A love for Z and the Caps as a backup team? I even stole your user id – totally accidentally (I knew I had the phrase Z4 stuck in my head from somewhere but didn’t place it until I signed up) – sorry about that!

I have a feeling that Philly would be a good fit for Morris (or so I’ve been told by Flyer-loving husband), but I’d happily take some Washington talent (Ovie for D-Mo, straight up? Takers, anyone? Anyone?).

Ovi and Green or bust...

don’t undersell the importance of the stopper d-man…that last line of defense…ever important :)

Flyers options

Since the Flyers are my favorite team other than the ‘Yotes, I would really like to see D-Mo end up in Philly. That being said, their cap situation is a disaster and any trade would basically have to be at the same cost (i.e., not a trade for all of Philly’s draft picks).

The obvious candidate to come back to Phoenix is Joffrey Lupul, who is a fine player but is signed for a pretty high cap hit (4.25M – courtesy nhlnumbers.com). If I was Don Maloney, I would also want to grab a guy like Ryan Parent or Luca Sbisa who have the potential to be very good defensive players (Sbisa has some offensive flair filling in when the Flyers were hurt earlier this year).

I imagine the ’Yotes would need to give up some significant picks to make this type of deal appealing to Paul Holmgren (who really has been one of the best GMs in the business since taking over for Bobby Clarke).
