The closing ceremony begins in Vancouver so we may as well start with the trade talk….
from Jim Gintonio of the Arizona Republic,
Money is not the issue for (Don) Maloney; it’s his belief that success is built and then ensured through a solid foundation. Any deal he makes would fit that parameter.
“I still believe we are growing this franchise,” he said. “We expect to win. We’re a playoff team, and we think when we get there we have a chance to win, so that’s why we’re looking (for) help, but . . . the price right now on some of these players, that’s the challenge.
“This isn’t a money decision for us right now. We’ve been able to save enough in our budget to give ourselves room for paying the next six weeks. This is more of the asset price that we have to give up to acquire, and a second-round pick and prospect for a guy for six weeks, that doesn’t cut it for me at all.
“That’s where maybe somebody else is wiling to pay, but I’m not. We think we’re good enough, and we like the group. If we can find a way to be better, we’ll do it.”
