Does this mean the fire sale is on, Say Good Bye to Pronger, I guess no more Stanley cups as they almost have to rebuild the aging team that is way under performing....

This should be posted on the "NHL TALK" message board.

This is a TERRIBAD trade by the Ducks.
Tangradi, who I have followed as a line mate of our own Bryan Cameron is a BEAST of a prospect, and will end up being a Kopitar calibur player with great upside on defense as well as O. He is big and has real good skating ability.
Kunitz is a **** but probably worth Whitney straight up.
Tangradi will be a 30 goal scorer next season when he breaks the pens line up.
Whitney is TERRIBLE

I would have done Bernier and Moller for Tangradi, wish they would have asked me :P

I might be wrong on this, don't follow these pricks,

but isn't nice how Niedermeyer keeps his intentions a secret? What a prima-donna this guy is.... Hey dick wad #2, how about for the good of your team, yeah the team that you held out on while you took an extended vacation from, the team that pays your salary. How about telling them what you are doing next year so that your team could figure out exactly if they should keep dick wad #1 or trade him..

the Ducks are heading right down the ****ter and I love it....

don't be ****ing retarded. The last thing you want the ducks to is tear it down and start over. Best case scenario is that they play out the string and getbounced in the first round, and subsequently lose everyone.

You don't want murrY to have the foresight to blow it up now. You want them to have hope.

In any case, it's still wait-and-see with Pronger. The Whitney deal doesn't really impact, although that will be the popular theory.

McKenzie: Whitney deal has little impact on Pronger

What's the salary movement? Anyone know? Word is that the ducks may be looking to cut salary regardless of on ice impli ations.
