Proposal: 2014/15 Season Trade Rumours and Proposals vol. IV

[Othello*]

Stewart for Greening

 

[StefanW]

Stewart for Greening

Why would either team do this? Buffalo gets a worse return, and Ottawa needs to shed a contract.

 

[StefanW]

Keep in mind that Turris had a terrible rap and was brought in as a reclamation project. It is not far fetched that BM would hunt for Stewart, despite what people here think.

 

[Do Make Say Think]

Turris was brought in as a 21 or 22 year old who had great underlying numbers

Stewart is a 27 year old who's mostly gotten worse over the last 4 years

I'm not 100% opposed to getting him but the two situations aren't what I'd call comparable

 

[HSF]

same people who don't want stewart probably didnt want Hemsky

some players just fit with certain teams and not with others


Hodgeson has 3 pts on Buffalo but i would instantly take him on our team

 

[Cosmix]

I don't think we will get Stewart without losing one of Hoff/Stone. Thats why I don't want stewart if we can get him for Condra and a Second why not?, helps the rebuild and gives Buff some defensive stability.

I doubt that Murray would give up Stone or Hoffman to get Stewart. I think he might give up Greening and Condra, or Wiercioch to try to improve the forwards and shake up the team. I would not trade Wiercioch for him as I think he is more valuable than Stewart.

 

[BonkTastic]

I wanted Hemsky, and I want zero part of Stewart outside of the aforementioned "Greening Fix".

 

[Boud]

Give Lazar Neil's A

How does that even make sense to you?

You strip the A from on of our few leaders to give it to a 19 yo who shouldn't be here more than Pageau.

If anyone should get an A give it to Ryan, Macarthur, Turris. Give an A to Lazar and see how our vets react to that

Hodgson would be one of the worst skaters on our team.....and that's saying a lot. The guy has stumpy legs and has trouble against any team with decent speed. And he is horribad defensively.

Helps the tank in tanknation and gives them a veteran who even though he sucks, is a good boy and works hard on and off the ice.

You're not talking about Stewart here, are you?

Whoo boy. No.



*edit*
Wait, were you talking about Greening? If you were talking about Greening, disregard the above part of this post.

Sorry, should have inserted the "tongue in cheek" emoticon [mod]. Didn't see it off to the side there. In case you missed it I was responding to a poster that suggested giving Lazar an A which was in response to a post stating that the team needed a new leadership group. But hey! If Neil and Phillips do it for you then yipee, you won't be disappointed. And keep believe'n the hype on Pageau [insert eye roll emoticon here]

I thought Hemsky proved it was a fluke and he was just feeding secondary assists off spezza and a hot goal scoring michalek. His time in dallas certainly must make you question his ability

 

[God Says No]

That's not how I remember. Hemsky and Spezza had instant chemistry and were playing well together. It was Michalek who was just there for the ride. Getting tap ins after good work from H and S.

Edit: Also I wanted Hemsky back and not Michalek, and I want nothing to do with Stewart nor Hodgson.

he is talking about greening but i think any team would take a ufa stewart over greening right now.....like its not even close

Kinda looks like Hemsky was playing for a contract.

 

[ReginKarlssonLehner]

Hemsky is one of the most skilled players in the league who had a recent history of playing PPG with one of the worst teams when we got him.

In no way is his situation the same as Stewart.

Hemsky was never a ppg and his goal scoring numbers were always meh. Seems like the king of secondary assists to me

Hemsky was a point producing machine with zero support.

500 points in 700 games while spending most of his career in the ****.

how many were secondary assists Pay for goal scorers or play making centers that can score 20. Dont pay for sub 20 goal scoring play making wingers

 

[ReginKarlssonLehner]

Lol i unno if you're being serious or not but the offense ran through him.

Tim Graham ‏@ByTimGraham
On trading Sabres RW Chris Stewart, @TSNBobMcKenzie says GM Tim Murray's "prices are too high" and "he needs to get realistic."

 

[Vesa Awesaka]

half serious. He benefited from a fully healthy Spezza and a hot michalek. Its not a coincidence that Spezza's production continues but Hemsky has fallen off a cliff. I'm saying this as a Hemsky fantasy owner. I think Hensky's influence was greatly exaggerated.

 

[Real Smart Sens Fan]

I bet Gryba gets dealt. He would have higher value than most of our available pieces (more than Wiercioch to a lot of teams, imo) but he doesnt really have significant upside beyond where he currently is (again, imo). I think a few teams would really love to have him.

Naw, if you look at correlation, Spezza benefited just as much from Hemsky. What's your excuse for his other 483 points in last 680 games?

Also Spezza was anything from fully healthy, lol.

Hemsky's influence was superb.
