from Dan Rosen at NHL.com,
But with the ball in his court this time around, (Rob) Blake certainly doesn’t sound like a man who wants to pick up and go anywhere, even if the reward could come in the form of another Stanley Cup ring.
“You know there is a group of teams that can compete for the Cup and if they want to get a couple of guys just to push them over the top, I am totally for it,” Blake said. “If I was an older player without a Cup, maybe. My goal was to come here and to build something and that’s what I hope happens.”
That being said, even he admits you just never know.
“There will be a lot of speculation over the next few weeks for sure,” Blake said.

Blake’s statements make it obvious he’d be nothing more than a playoff rental. No matter who he goes to this year, he’s going back to LA next year. Add that to his recent injury and it will take a totally clueless (or absolutely desperate) GM to offer anything more than a has-been player and a mid-round pick for him.
No doubt he’d look good in the Winged Wheel, but I sure hope Holland resists making another Mattias-and-picks-for-Bertuzzi type of trade.
