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

[ReginKarlssonLehner]

Im not super confident he ever will be, but that's just my opinion. He looses his net and rebounds way too often for my liking. AHL numbers? Meh. Wish they would have taken the same route St Louis did with Bishop - earn it and make it almost impossible to not finally bring him (and keep him) up.

I also don't buy in to the Lehner personality/myth/stories etc.

Maybe he settles down as he ages, but I'd be curious to see what his worth is league wide.

lol.

Dumba would be the target. Exactly what we need on the back end (speed/skill/young/cheap), not quite ready to help Minn this year & not quite a lock to be a reliable top-4 (somewhat tradeable). How about:

Andy + Gryba

for

Dumba + Backstrom

I definitely think we need to add to that to get Dumba, I like the idea though.

Make a trade like that and then at the draft we package him, Chiasson, and either our 2016 1st or a 2015 2nd and hopefully that is enough to get us a young partner for Karlsson.

 

[bacon25]

Yeah also Edmonton is in the mix too. They're dissappointed in Scrivens/Fasth.

I don't know what they were expecting, Scrivens and Fasth were never going to be the answer. I guess anyone looks good after you had Dubnyk as your starter for the past 4 years.

 

[Six Assets]

Dumba isn't very good

don't want

 

[bacon25]

I'm ok with losing games but not with throwing the season away

Some feel that trading Anderson is an attempt to throw the season away, but I would argue that Anderson is one of the few players on this team that has value and could be traded in order to improve this team. Gotta give to get and BM is not going to get anything great for our whipping boys a la michalek, greening and phillips.

 

[Do Make Say Think]

Trading Anderson will not improve this team, it will create another hole.

We've never had it this good in terms of goaltending in Ottawa and I'm fine with it staying that way for a little longer.

 

[HSF]

we arent getting dumba for anderson

think smaller unless we package another good peice

 

[Nac Mac Feegle]

Dumba isn't very good

don't want

Agreed.

The kid might find his game and turn into something good in the next 5 years or so, but for now he has too much bust probability.

 

[ReginKarlssonLehner]

They ain't getting Anderson unless we getting Brodin or Scandella+Tuch

Anderson is way to valuable in the progression of Lehner as the next goalie in line. I'd risk Anderson leaving only if we getting very valuable piece(s) in return.

There is no way they move Brodin in a deal for a 30+ G. Brodin's a very good young dman playing over 20mins a night. Although he would be so perfect with Karlsson

The problem is, there is no way they are going to get a quality goaltender that can help them win a series in the playoffs, without giving up significant pieces. Minny is built to win now, and their goaltending is their weakest link by far.

I do not want any of their tenders back, as they suck, nor do I want project youngsters like Dumba. If they want to win in the playoffs, they will pay, or continue to bow out. We are working from a position of strength, and there is absolutely NO reason to trade Andy unless the deal is one Murray simply can't refuse.

 

[Burrowsaurus]

I like to have a hint as to where this info is coming from.

Also Minnesota isn't very deep when I look at their team. The appealing players are mostly players that they desperately need. Brodin is not moving
For Andy I would take a 1st plus a good young player. (By good I don't mean Brodin)

 

[Blotto71]

A deal involving Anderson might explain why Bingo recently signed Peter Mannino (yes, "WHOOO?!", is an appropriate response). If Anderson was being moved without a goalie coming back it stand to reason that Hammond would be up for an extended period (or if the goalie that was coming back was injured).

To be fair, I couldn't find any info on Hammonds current status and don't know if he's injured, which would also precipitate a move in Bingo.

I'd be happy with Scandella and a pick from Minnesota and would take Backstrom as well (though that would mean a higher pick) - if he is able to play he can split starts with Lehrner or better, retire and count against the cap (provided he has that type if contract)

Exactly.

This isn't a situation where we need to move a goalie, or will have any benefit to moving Andy. If someone wants him, they need to blow our socks off with an amazing deal for us to consider it.

I'm not accepting scraps for Andy.

 

[BondraTime]

Dumba isn't worth as much as you guys are thinking. He has the fresh "Top 10 tag" stuck to him now.

 

[GoodGoodnotBad]

The Wild have some great prospects. If Anderson was dealt to the Wild it would be great to get Spurgeon, but I bet they would rather trade someone like Coyle. Would still like to know where this rumour came from though

Edit : should have clarified that I meant Spurgeon in a package deal. Not a 1 for 1.

 

[BloodRedArmy]

Wier for Ellis. Both guys need change of scenery.

Ellis has been one of their best D, he doesn't need a change of scenery, despite the mainboard thread started by disgruntled Nashville fan.

Shows what happens when you put too much stock in HF Boards! Haha. Thanks.

Brodin and Tuch -.- for Anderson ... It's 5PM somewhere eh...

 

[HSF]

there is no way they are trading scandella.....not for anderson atleast

i think you guys overrated what a goalie is worth in this market

I think the idea isn't so much based on the value but rather the need

I maintain that Minnesota should be one of the best teams in the league and that their window for contention isn't going to be open for very long

If they go into "win now" mode they'll pay more than fair value to get what they want and goaltending is definitely a need for them

except scandella makes a huge hole on their defense

Dumba might be possible if we add to the deal as he is doing well in the AHL now but i don't think they would deal him as they are still high on him as they should be...he is only 20

I think Coyle is a guy they would be trying to move with his contract

 

[HSF]

Coyle (900k this year then 3.2mill till 2019/2020)
Backstrom (3.4mill till 2015/2016)

for

Greening (2.6mill till 2016/2017)
Anderson (4.2mill till 2017/2018)


This is the type of deal i would try to make if i am Murray. Coyle would secure our 3rd center spot for years to come

we shouldnt move anderson for the sake of moving anderson. We have to actually get a good piece that will make us a better team now or in the future without andy. Coyle and Backstorm do nothing for us and Dumba hasnt looked to hot in the NHL. Murray is probably perfectly happy keeping his teams best player(he gives us the most win) till his contract is about to expire where he'll resign him or trade him.
