Speculation: Armchair GM and Rumors Thread XX

[Dertell]

Sbisa actually had an ok year. Still 26, he's way overpaid, but can be ok when used properly, in a limited role. Besides, the meat and potatoes of the trade is Wideman for Markstrom, with add ins to fill gaps/cap issues.

If by limited role you mean healthy scratch forever, than I agree. Sbisa has two more years on his contract, so if anything he's a worse cap dump than Wideman. Wideman can also be brought out for a smaller cap loss total than Sbisa at full contract.

 

[Body Checker]

Looks like Brouwer's value is rising. Too bad, always been a fan unlike others jumping on his bandwagon because he has scored a few goals in this year's playoffs.

Sbisa is terrible, I hope he is never in the Flaming C. Just buyout Wideman.

 

[slappipappi]

I don't think you realise exactly how bad Sbisa is at playing hockey. If Vancouver added the 5th OA to that trade it would still be tough to accept.

The Canucks are not trading Markstrom.

Why would they?

To get Wideman, LOL?

because they enjoy trading goalies.

With all this Panarin news, is there any feasibility to potentially signing Panarin as a 1st line winger with Gaudreau/Monahan?

Pretty sure he's RFA right? It would be sweet but I don't see how we could fit it under the cap.

He's still on his ELC next year.

He has elite skill. For sure. But honestly, Hawks have first dibs and I doubt they just let him go.

 

[Tkachuk Norris]

Yeah I doubt the Hawks trade him if he's cost controlled next year. I would love him on the Flames though.

 

[ElfanuReinhard*]

Sign Loui Eriksson and Troy Brouwer or Dale Weise, trade Wideman and Smid to teams in need of reaching floors, trade Raymond to Tohoku Free Brades for a plate of Sea Urchin sushi. Blow up a balloon, eat black forest cake, do the togo, and colonize Mars.

 

[ElfanuReinhard*]

because they enjoy trading goalies.

And they enjoy us fleecing them.

 

[Johnny GODreau]

Any interest?



W Mason Raymond 3.15m 1 year left



W Bryan Bickell 4.0m 1 year left
+ something small

No f*** no, Bickell brings us in cap hell.

No. Why would we do that?

 

[Johnny GODreau]

If 850k brings us into cap hell. We have bigger problems on our hands.

Get "bigger" and acquire a small asset.

Raymond for Bickell and a 4th. I'd do that. Flames could use the size in the bottom 6, and I think he'd rebound here. I think Raymond could do well in Chicago as well.

Try to sign Stempniak or Brouwer.

Gaudreau - Monahan - Brouwer
Frolik - Bennett/Backlund - Colborne
Bickell - Backlund/Bennett - Stajan
??? - Grant - ???

??? is a rotation of Bouma/Ferland/Hathaway. Bouma takes a permanent spot if he finds his offensive game again.

Jooris is gone.

 

[L13]

Neither Bickell nor Raymond should be playing in the NHL, so their player's profiles are irrelevant to such a trade. The question would be whether that "something small" was worth it for the Flames, given that they would be taking on more salary.

Mason's current cap hit is 2.2M because he's buried.

 

[Deen]

I`d really like to see Calgary take advantage of the Blackhawks situation and bring Shaw here.

 

[Johnny GODreau]

Mason's current cap hit is 2.2M because he's buried.

And Bickell's is 3.05m since he's buried. 3.05m-2.2m= 850k

Only if "something small" is Scott Darling.

Scott Darling is anything but small. He's a UFA and I think he stays in Chicago as he's an Illinois boy and what not.

 

[AgeOfBennett]

I'd definitely offer one of our 2nds and a prospect like Sieloff for him, but not much more

 

[slappipappi]

Scott Darling is signed for next year at a $.588M cap hit.
