Gonchar traded

**Yashamaga** · 03-03-2004, 01:22 AM

There's supposedly going to be an announcement tommorow of to where and for who.

It's either BOS COL TOR or NJ

and sportsnet and tsn were reporting that the Bruins were the frontrunners at last check.

However, I'm hearing things like it's gonna be Shaone Morisson+ for him. I dunno if I feel good about sacrificing him. He's been a sparkplug to the team.

I'd rather it be Jillson+ for him.

McPhee: No deal for Gonchar yet

TSN.ca Staff
3/2/2004

Washington Capitals general manager George McPhee confirmed that a deal involving defenceman Sergei Gonchar is in the works but that nothing would be completed Tuesday night. Sources have told TSN that a deal could be consummated as early as Wednesday.

McPhee said that Gonchar was pulled from Tuesday's lineup against the Panthers as a precaution because the Capitals are inching closer to a deal.

When asked by a member of the media if the deal would be finalized on Tuesday, McPhee responded "not tonight."

"We're working on a trade for him," McPhee said at a news conference after the game. "Why play him and risk injury?"

Gonchar is in the final year of a four-year, $13.95 million US contract that pays him $3,650,000 this season.

The 29-year old veteran has seven goals and 49 points this season, leading all NHL defenceman in scoring.

The 10-year veteran was taken 14th overall in the 1992 NHL Entry Draft by the Capitals. He made his NHL debut in the 1994-95 season and scored seven points as a rookie. He led all Capitals' defencemen in scoring over the next two seasons and led the team's blueline with 11 playoff points as the Capitals went the Stanley Cup Final in 1998

You might wanna edit the topic title. I mean, since he wan't exactly traded and all. Of course, that would just be common sense

and it's not like ya told us, everyone knew it was gonna go down, I could have made this thread three weeks ago.

**VonErich Lives** · 03-03-2004, 03:57 PM

Now I heard he would only go to a team that would give him a long term deal, so the Bruins might ink him long term? Wait, Bruins spend money? Somethings wrong here...

Then again, recently with the win streak and the other sports teams in town, the Bruins have become a "hot ticket"...

stop trying to deceive people into thinking Gonchar isn't the man, disgruntled canadian :foc:

**MoRcHeEbA** · 03-03-2004, 05:12 PM

im not a fan of the eastern confrence at all and I was just stating a fact. The Leafs didn't get him and that's enough for me, but they do show that getting Gonchar might not be as cracked up to get as it seems.

**da_king** · 03-03-2004, 07:26 PM

so are the bruins gonna be too cheap to keep him or did they spend to much on a rental.

**da_king** · 03-03-2004, 07:26 PM

also i'm glad the avs didn't get him

**Yashamaga** · 03-04-2004, 04:02 PM

nah, O'C will sign him up after the season he said.

I'd like to see them sign Nylander to a multiyear deal
