Canucks-Predators

To Canucks:
Jason Arnott

To Predators:
Steve Bernier
1st rounder
3rd rounder

Predators gm has my permission to pick what year and what pick, they just must be a 1st and a 3rd.

Preds agree to this trade and would like the first available 1st rounder and 3rd rounder....can't access the site at the moment so not 100% sure which ones they are.

Dont want to be the bad guy here....but just asking why Vancouver is giving up so much for an aging player like Arnott?...Bernier is a good young player and i dont think Arnott is worth him and 2 high picks....

Im not going to challange....just want to know vancouvers reasoning behind the deal

I'll consider that a minor challenge (otherwise I've got to process the trade).

Vancouver, please enlighten the Avalanche, after that I'll process the trade.

Bernier is not that good, he skates like he has rocks in his skates.
That being said teh 1st rounder is kinda high for Arnott.

I dont mind giving up picks for good talent...arnott is a great center, he isnt that old at all. Ya its tough giving up bernier, but he is a third liner and the picks are what made this deal for me...with this deal i have solidified (spelling?) my center problem and have made more room for my other wingers. I have an abundance of young forwards that can play a third line roll for me...i have no problem paying for an elite center. I belive Arnott is the heart and soul of the predators organization and will be a force for years to come. Now with Arnott in my system, I have one of the best center depths in the league...2 great centers that can be number 1 line centers, 1 of the best 3rd line centers(Kesler) who could also play a backup roll if an injury comes into play. Then following that i still have Peter "The Great" Forsberg along with other good players in my farm system.

With this deal I have not only made myself stronger down the middle but made it easier for me to move other players..now having good talent in every area.

If you dont understand what Iam trying to say here, or if you want more of an reasoning, hit me up on msn tonight, as I am at my moms right now and I still cant get on the site on my personal computer.


I would like to also add that my picks will probably both be late picks...as not to be cocky but i feel that i have a very strong team/

Alright....that works for me...thanks for clarifying me

The only problem that I see is the salary cap wih taking on Jason Arnott's 4,500,000 plus having to move Forsberg to the big club with another 4,000,000 and losing Steve Bernier @ 850,000 is quite a hit to the cap is a net gain of 7,650,000 to add to 50,515,670 for a total of 58,165,670 which comes to 2,165,670 over the cap.

dont worry bud i figured it out on how i can get under cap...dont worry bout cap i have it under control
