Rumor: Flames interested in Pietrangelo

[Flamesfan102]

From Rich Smith who does have credibility:

NHL - Source - The 3 teams most likely to make a run at Blues star Pietrangelo is Oilers, Flyers and Flames, Oilers and Flyers more likely.

NHL - I was informed at least 4 teams are believed to have contacted the Blues about Pietrangelo. Oilers, Flyers, Islanders, Flames

I wouldn't mind getting him to add to our top-2 D. Out of the teams mentioned that are interested, I can see Flyers making a better package than us so he's probably not coming to the Flames.


Thoughts?

2014 1st + baertschi + something. that would cost a lot

 

[Svenner]

Would love to have him, but probably not willing give up the asking price.

 

[Skobel24]

I'd assume the cost would start with our 1st+Baertschi. However, if they could get a deal done that leaves Baer out of it, I'd be happy.

Rich Smith, who was also behind the Couturier rumor, was denounced as having absolutely no credibility on the trade board yesterday.

Rich Smith isn't legit, if this was coming directly from Eklund it would be fine.

But since he cites Rich Smith ; it's not. Guy is bat**** insane and not credible.

This makes no sense whatsoever. Why would the Blues part with one of the best defenders in the league?

It would take (IMO):

1) Courts + Coburn
--or--
2) Paarjavi + Justin Shultz
--or--
3) Giordano + Backlund

giordano + backlund? really? piet holds first overall value

 

[DCDM]

The same Rich Smith that said the Flames are going for Couturier?

Lol ok.

That, plus it's like starting a thread saying "Rumor: The Sky is Blue"

Of course the Flames are interested in Pietrangelo.

How is this news?

#1. We can't afford to trade what they want

#2. We can't afford the offer sheet as we need our firsts

#3. Of course we want the best FA (I could have told you that)

It would take a hell of a lot more than that..think in the value range of "not worth considering" from a Flames standpoint.

 

[Zirakzigil]

Price would be insane. Offer sheet probably would be cheaper.

 

[Yung Rotini]

Too much. Both trade and offer sheet would be too much, considering how much we will suck in the next few years.

 

[Lunatik]

Who isn't interested in Pietro?

 

[BRobMint]

We are in no position to trade for a big fish.

 

[Johnny Hoxville]

Blues would never move this guy. They'd want Malkin or Giroux for him, clearly we don't have those players. They're a contender now, they have a ton of good young prospects, so forget about futures.

 

[Flamester]

wow, id give them 2014 1st, giordano, and gaudreau

 

[InfinityIggy]

Rich Smith a not a legitimate source, the spews all sorts of fantasy.
