Confirmed with Link: Glencross to Capitals for 2015 2nd+3rd rounders

[BiPolar Caps]

My guess is Schmidt + 3rd

Schmidt why? Caps current 3rd pairing of Green/Gleason will both be UFAs. Caps need to keep Schmidt.

Was a guess, looks like I overstated it

Caps were looking for teams to retain salary. Now interesting to see what comes back to CGY.

 

[Holtbyisms]

2015 2nd and 2016 4th, good deal.

2015 2nd and 2016 4th. Good deal.

That guy who posted the tweet that Bowey was involved nearly gave me a heart attack. Shades of George McPhee definitely for a moment there.

 

[Semin]

Good deal.

 

[Bure]

2nd and 3rd. Pricey, but that's expected for an inflated trade market.

 

[OVrocks]

Good deal, now if we could only turn Mojo, Laich or Chimmer into a 2C

 

[BrooklynCapsFan]

Praying for a Chris Clark situation.

I would imagine that's it in terms of rentals given our salary structure and remaining picks.

Edit: I thought I had read a 2nd and a 4th. Expensive but also, who really cares?

 

[Langway]

A second and a third is pretty pricey given what Timonen/Jagr/Bergenheim/Tlusty fetched.

$2.55M cap hit with perhaps Calgary retaining some.

 

[NoMoreChoking]

Aren't we over the cap now?

 

[Cush]

Which 3rd? Wsh or Buf?

 

[SpinningEdge]

So far in the GMBM era:

2nd rd pick and 3rd rd pick for Glencross
Hillen and 4th rd pick for Gleason
Signed Orpik for 5 years 5.5 million/season
Signed Niskanen for 7 years 5.75 million/season

Overall..... Not that good thus far. I'd say a C.

We are a better team though - but just have acquired a lot of avg players or a little above average players that have cost us a lot in terms of picks and money thus far...

 

[KevinM]

Where is he even supposed to fit in the lineup?

Yeah, unless GMBM gets creative. If it is indeed the case, it won't be nearly enough.

 

[Brian23]

I feel like he's gotta be bumping Mojo or Laich down in the lineup (or both). I wonder if they'd move Laich...

 

[Blades of Steel]

I'd guess we aren't done

 

[Cush]

both picks are for 2015

 

[Holtbyisms]

I'm guessing GlenX-Kuz-Brouwer. Hopefully they're still in play for Cole as a partner for Ovi+Backs

 

[BackToTheBasics]

There's a spot on the 2nd line that's been calling him for some time now. I would have liked Cole but Glenx isn't too bad. I've been watching highlights to remind me of what he'll bring to the table and it looks like he has good speed, a good wrist shot and he's great at standing in front of the net for deflections. Just what we need. RMNB is crying over his advanced stats, not surprised.

 

[Raikkonen]

I think we should add someone like Roy (1M caphit) and call it a day.

 

[Langway]

They are either:

1. Bumping Burakovsky to the fourth line or Hershey
2. Bumping Johansson from 2LW to 1RW/3LW/Trade Bait
3. Bumping Laich off the checking line altogether, in which case either he or Chimera need to go

In any case one of the LWs ought to go for a RW probably.

‏@Real_ESPNLeBrun: FYI that no salary retained in Glencross trade to Washington

 

[Blades of Steel]

Yeah Lang I don't see us being finished here, I think there is a hockey trade coming.

Not a terrible deal. Just so happy it's not Cole.
