Proposal: 2015 Offseason Trade Rumours & Proposals | Part VI | Rejoice, it's Draft Day!

[operasen]

I was thinking Reilly might sign here instead of the Wild. Good pick up for them.

I do hope we are moving out Cowen in a scenario later this evening or tomorrow. Still have too many D and Wideman at least deserves a look.

 

[SensBrawler]

Boston just announced the signing of their new #1 D Adam Mcquaid

I'm sure Bruins fans are happy now.

 

[x Karlsson x 65]

Hamilton reportedly asking for 5.5 per long term.

I'd give that to him any day

 

[Super Cake]

I started off at laughing about the trade, but now i just feel sad for Bruin fans. I have no ill will towards to the Bruins or their fans. They don't deserve this.

Hopefully their picks turn into good NHL players.

 

[Shanny]

Good lord, can you imagine if we did something like that?

The equivalent for us would be trading Stone for a mid 1st, 2nd, and 4th rounder.


Even then, I think Hamilton is a better player and should hold more value then Stone.

 

[Do Make Say Think]

Why not give up others first though?

Worst case can't Boston afford a buyout?

You can't just make another trade happen because you need it to.

You don't trade Seguin for cap room. You trade someone like Lucic to create room for Seguin.

You trade Sedeinberg, not Hamilton.

They needed help on the wing and were set at C: that's why they gave up the C to get an 80 point winger and keep Lucic.

What if no one wants Sedeinberg?

Dude, if you can get Hamilton signed at $5.5 million long term, you do it, and dump the rest of your contracts.

You don't trade the stud 22 year old defenseman to make the dollars work.

It would be like Chicago trading Keith so they can keep Vermette and Sharp.

You can't just create a trading partner out of thin air

It's a bad trade but the truth is that they were stuck between a rock and a hard place and Hamilton made things worse by asking for that kind of money when he knew full well it wasn't possible. Crappy day for Boston fans that's for sure...

 

[Six Assets]

I would give both our first and one second for Hamilton lol. Boston screwed up.

At least they won a cup couple years ago.

 

[x Karlsson x 65]

I started off at laughing about the trade, but now i just feel sad for Bruin fans. I have no ill will towards to the Bruins or their fans. They don't deserve this.

Hopefully their picks turn into good NHL players.

They take Bracco and Garland and suddenly have 2 Gaudreaus on the same line

 

[Vesa Awesaka]

I was thinking Reilly might sign here instead of the Wild. Good pick up for them.

I do hope we are moving out Cowen in a scenario later this evening or tomorrow. Still have too many D and Wideman at least deserves a look.

his dad is like part owner of the wild or has some type of ownership bought position

 

[Hutz]

I really like Lehner and I think his career is only just beginning. This certainly has the potential to backfire horribly.

But right now that's solid value. Especially in this draft.

This is exactly right. I would only add that if he fulfills his potential and our team still isn't good enough to beat him, then we'd still get beat in the SCF anyway.

 

[Benjamin]

They needed help on the wing and were set at C: that's why they gave up the C to get an 80 point winger and keep Lucic.

What if no one wants Sedeinberg?

When did they get an 80 point winger?

Then trade someone else.

 

[Do Make Say Think]

I would give both our first and one second for Hamilton lol. Boston screwed up.

At least they won a cup couple years ago.

Knowing Jacobs I think it's safe to say he was a big part as to why Hamilton went out West

When did they get an 80 point winger?

Then trade someone else.

Eriksson was a machine when they got him. He got concussed twice and is now nowhere near the level he was when in Dallas.

Ok so he never did get 80. Fine a 70 point winger

 

[Benjamin]

 

[Hutz]

his dad is like part owner of the wild or has some type of ownership bought position

Yeah, that's about the least surprising thing to happen so far today.

 

[Holdurbreathe]

Seguin wasn't going to be the player he is right now if he'd have stayed in Boston. There were plenty of issues, and being traded was a big wakeup call for Seguin.

No sure I agree with you on this, more likely Neely convinced the Jacobs that a player of Seguin's character didn't belong.

 

[Vesa Awesaka]

Cowen hopefully

 

[Hale The Villain]

Boston has the most incompetent management group in the league.

Trades Seguin for Eriksson and R.Smith
Screws up cap situation, resulting in Iginla walking
Forced to trade Boychuk for picks
Uses those picks to acquire a struggling forward in Connolly
Trades Soderberg for a 6th
Trades a young top pairing defenseman for an awful return

They found a way to turn Seguin, Hamilton, Boychuk, Soderberg into Eriksson, Smith, Connolly, 15th overall, 2nd, 2nd

Hamilton reportedly asking for 5.5 per long term.

Getting Hamilton, a #1 D in the making, for anywhere around 5.5M long-term is a steal.

 

[DrunkUncleDenis]

Interesting. so we want to retain a pick around 18-21.

I guess this is the safer move, but I'd be sad if we didn't get into the top 10 because of it.

 

[Hale The Villain]

Probably one of our 2nds, or Wiercioch.

 

[Do Make Say Think]

I was surprised at how many media people were speculating that we'd look at packaging our first round picks

It made no sense to me, this needs to keep at least one of the picks for sure

If a move is made with one of the picks expect it to be at the very last minute possible

 

[Busboy]

Seguin wasn't going to be the player he is right now if he'd have stayed in Boston. There were plenty of issues, and being traded was a big wakeup call for Seguin.

Did you read Seguins article on the subject?

He disagrees with you, felt like Boston gave up on him too early. Obviously two side to the story but from what Seguin wrote it seemed like the off ice issues were not very significant. From my perspective it seemed like Boston did a poor job of helping a young kid transition to the NHL.

 

[TheNewEra]

makes sense its probably the 21st+ our later 2nd to get in the 12-15 range

konecky is probably our target

 

[Do Make Say Think]

No sure I agree with you on this, more likely Neely convinced the Jacobs that a player of Seguin's character didn't belong.

We know how Chara felt about Seguin as well

It wasn't a good fit and Boston got the piece they were looking for. Unfortunately he got concussed twice after that so he declined rather quickly.

 

[saskriders]

Good

My dream would be:

21 + a 2nd (or whatever assuming it isn't too much like Cowen or Smith) for a early teens

Select Konecny

Zboril falls to 18 (if not Svechnikov)

Senyshyn in the 2nd

 

[GWNR]

I'd be happy with packaging 21 and 48 to move up to the 14-16 range.

Maybe Edm would be interested in an extra pick?

16 for 21 + 48
