Dallas traded James Neal, a young wing who scored 27 and 21 goals in the past two years, and Matt Niskanen a young defenseman for Goligoski another young defenseman.

Are you kidding me? Who is running the Dallas ship into the ground?

Can we trade Barker for Loui Eriksson? We'll even throw in a Kobasew to sweeten the pot...maybe the rights to Sheppard if they drive a hard bargain.

Goligoski is an awesome offensive dman. They need him. Niskanen is a waste of money at $1.5mm and they pretty much added him to the trade to get him off the cap. Neal was pretty darn good though.

Keep watching looks like a positioning play to me. Maybe Hemsky.....

I think Dallas needs to clear some cap space if they want to keep Richards around, from what I understand Niskanen hasn't been playing all that great and might be a salary dump. So you are left with a young talented forward traded for a young talented D-man, which just happens to fit a big need for each team.

It does appear they have a little cap room (I currently see 7) but that was after they unloaded an extra 2.5 on the Penguins.

From what I have heard Niskanen wasn't playing all that great last year and has even regressed a little this year, he is still young so hopefully he can turn things around but I am guessing Dallas decided to give up on him.

      If you really want to treat your wife (and yourself) with a remote operated trolling motor, the Minn Kota Ulterra is about easy as it gets.  Auto stow and deploy is pretty awesome.  You just have to turn the motor on when you go out and that the last time you have to touch it.   24V 80lb.  60 inch shaft is probably the right length for your boat.  They ain’t cheap - about $3k - but neither one of you would have to leave your seat to use it all day.

      Wanderer, thanks for your reply. I do intend for it to be 24 volt, with a thrust of 70-80. Spot lock is a must (my wife is looking forward to not being the anchor person any more).  With my old boat we did quite a lot of pulling shad raps and hot n tots, using the trolling motor. Unlikely that we will fish in whitecaps, did plenty of that when I was younger. I also need a wireless remote, not going back to a foot pedal. We do a fair amount of bobber fishing. I don't think I will bother with a depth finder on the trolling motor. I am leaning toward moving my Garmin depth finder from my old boat to the new one, just because I am so used to it and it works well for me. I am 70 years old and kinda set in my ways...

      Dang, new content and now answers.   First, congrats on the new boat!   My recommendation is to get the most thrust you can in 24V, assuming a boat that size isn’t running 36V.  80 might be tops?  I’m partial to MinnKota.     How do you plan to use the trolling motor is an important question too.     All weather or just nice weather?   Casting a lot or bait dragging?   Bobber or panfish fishing?   Spot lock?  Networked with depth finders?  What brand of depth finders?

      By Crow Hunter · Posted

      We have bought a new boat, which we will be picking up this spring. It is an Alumacraft Competitor 165 sport with a 90 horse Yamaha motor. I will be buying and installing a trolling motor,  wondering if I can get some recommendations on what pound thrust I will want for this boat?  Also, I will be selling my old boat, is there a good way to determine the value on an older boat ( mid-80's with a 75 horse 2-stroke  Mariner motor)  I will appreciate any help with these questions.
