Proposal: 2015-2016 Season Trade Rumours & Proposals | Part X

[BatherSeason]

I dont mind that... A big lefty good on draws look forward to seeing what he can do.

This is the projected lineup I assume.

Hoffman Zibanejad Ryan
Smith Pageau Stone
Dzingel Lazar Chiasson
Prince Paul Neil

Looks good on paper until Prince gets scratched when DD or Stortini gets called up. Not sure DC can handle more than 1 skilled player in his bottom 6.

 

[derriko]

Do they get the 31st pick if they dont sign him?

A late first, recent 3rd round pick who has probably increased their value to a 2nd, and a cap dump is a pretty good get for a rental.

COL closing in on Eric Gelinas for a third



If Gelinas is wortha 3rd... Wiercioch will easily land us a 3rd.

 

[ReginKarlssonLehner]

Brent Wallace on TSN now.

Nick Paul is gonna move to center if we can't find a center in the next 90 min

So you're saying we're getting Ryan Nugent Hopkins?

I also heard Drouin is a center.

Buckleeeeeeeee up.

It's gonna be interesting to see how Cameron assigns the mins. Neither bottom 6 line is what you'd call a traditional shutdown or even energy line.

A late first, recent 3rd round pick who has probably increased their value to a 2nd, and a cap dump is a pretty good get for a rental.

He was selected 23rd in the 1st round. So they should get the 53rd OA pick with every team behind that number being pushed back by 1 in the draft.

Not really a high value pick at all, especially considering the way the Avalanche have drafted over the last few seasons.

Gelinas vs Wier is meh..they are both very 1 dimensional players, but Gelinas is at least not weaker and slower than my Grandma...who is dead btw.

Gelinas has a shot, Wier has a pass. Thats it.

 

[Holdurbreathe]

Maybe ,we will see .But saying Prince was for sure an NHL top 6 guy on a team without DC as HC is pretty shortsighted

Who said Prince was a sure thing for a top six role?

Missed it.

However I will say if a team wants a young offensive talent to develop into a top six, that team doesn't play him regularly on the 4th line with plugs.

Even the current 4th line has more talent than what Prince was stuck playing with.

I spat tea everywhere. We haven't seen you post much derriko you and your seattle "herbs" antics.

 

[Very Stable Genius]

How the **** did Calgary manage to get that much for Russell?

 

[PatrickEaves]

I really want to see Dallas win the Cup.

I just want to see Eaves (and that Spezza dude I guess) lift the Cup.

 

[Neil Patrick Harris]

Man, remember yesterday when there was all that speculation around Drouin and Yakupov?

Good times.

 

[Ouroboros]

How the **** did Calgary manage to get that much for Russell?

Nearly as much as we got for Spezza.

 

[Boud]

I think whenever Hamhuis is gone we'll see Wiercioch traded.

 

[Very Stable Genius]

Nearly as much as we got for Spezza.

18 games of Russell. Jesus Christ.

Treveling and Burke are upper echelon trading GMs. Always get fair value or above fair value for their players.

 

[Boud]

Still a lot of time left.

It's also possible these two drag until the draft.

I don't really know Dallas's prospects, are they any good?

 

[Very Stable Genius]

I don't really know Dallas's prospects, are they any good?

young NHL D-man and Pollock is one of their top forward prospects and the 2nd becomes a 1st if Dallas makes the conference final.

 

[Hale The Villain]

Nearly as much as we got for Spezza.

That's Murray for ya. Bottom 5 GM in the league at getting value for his players.

 

[Boud]

Holy Jeez.

The 2nd Dallas traded becomes a 1rst if they make it to conference final.

A 1RST for Russell ...

 

[Benjamin]

That is a fantastic return for the Flames. Wow.

Pretty much is ,seeing as most agree he cant play with grinders such as neil lazar ,Smith etc.And doesnt do much when put into the top 6 either ,but at least he can use the skill everybody keeps raving about ,but we have yet to see it translate into nothing more than 3 goals

 

[jason2020]

The difference is Spezza had a no trade clause while Russell did not.

 

[ToastrStutzle]

Maybe we can get a 1st from a contender for Wier after seeing that Russell deal
