Rumor: Michael Del Zotto is a healthy scratch tomorrow

[Pirate King Luffy]

Per Renaud Lavoie ( This is also on the main trading board)

Michael Del Zotto est laissé de côté demain vs Canadiens. Il pourrait bien quitter les #rangers via transaction. Son nom circule dans la LNH

Michael Del Zotto will be a healthy scratch tomorrow vs the Canadiens. He could very well leave the #rangers via transaction. His name is circulating around the NHL.

There is a rumor going around that MDZ is being thrown around. How woul you guys feel if we traded for MDZ?

What do you think?

I think he's another defensemen the Flames have plenty of. He's no different then a Wideman, Brodie, Russell or a Cundari. If the cost was reasonable then sure, but I don't see that being the case.

 

[I Hate Blake Coleman]

I think the Flames have enough guys like Del Zotto. Brodie, Russell, Wideman, and Giordano can all move the puck. Do we need another one?

 

[InfinityIggy]

If the Flames made a trade for MDZ I would be happy but im scared of what we would give up. I have a bad feeling we would send Baertschi the other way.

 

[Calculon]

One of the last thing the Flames need is another offensive puck moving defensemen. It'd be a complete waste of assets.

 

[TheHudlinator]

Wouldn't mind it if we send a bottom pairing defenseman back (with what ever else we would give up Stempniak?), he is only 23 and would fit long term.

Gio - Del Zotto
Wideman - Brodie (I liked them last year)
Smid - Russell
Butler

That is a lineup I could get behind!

I'd even be willing to give a late round pick! Come on Burkie!

 

[Skobel24]

Not a fan of MDZ. I'd rather not see him here.

 

[Beats By CoRD]

If the price is right, absolutely.

 

[King In The North]

Not worth what we'd give up. We need a younger Robyn Regehr

Seiloff?

 

[Johnny Hoxville]

Butler and Stempniak sure, Sven, no thanks!

 

[Nordberg]

If it's a Burkish good value trade, then sure, but MDZ isn't a guy we should be targeting or giving up major assets for IMO. We have much bigger holes to fill, current and future. We need top pairing potential D-men not PP specialist #4 PMDs.

 

[King In The North]

Seiloff?

I was thinking Jared Cowen

 

[MarkGio]

He's gonna want a pay raise, and I doubt NYR can afford much with all the pending free agents and RFAs so if he could be had for a good deal I'd be down

 

[TheHudlinator]

Doubt he is available and I think Sieloff will be ready as soon as late this season.

 

[Johnny Hoxville]

Double post

 

[MuffinMerc]

It probably isn't the Flames pursuing him.

 

[Ace Rimmer]

I'd guess to Edmonton for Yakupov or something like that. Maybe their 1st since MacT apparently says its available. Personally I'd like thefanblogger to weigh in on this one before making a judgment though.


That said, like many others it depends on the return as a young, puck moving defenseman coming in would help accelerate the rebuild. I would hesitate to give up on Bart already but I wouldn't necessarily anoint him as an untouchable just yet.

 

[Kipper933]

I'd be for acquiring him if it means dealing Wideman and his salary within a year, and if MDZ were to play well.
