Proposal: NYI/Calgary/Washington

[Brunomics]

NYI gets Philipp Grubauer

Washington gets a 3rd rounder(think Scott Darling trade)




Calgary gets Thomas Greiss

NYI gets a 2nd and a 5th


Calgary shores up their goaltending for the next three years and Washington gets something for a guy they would lose in expansion.

Or the Flames could just trade for Grubauer.

shhhhhhhhhh

Washington declines easily. Grubauer compares favorably to Martin Jones at the time of his trade, and he pulled in substantially more than a 3rd. I know the expansion draft will drag down values, but Washington would happily accept losing Grubauer in expansion because it protects skaters (like Nate Schmidt) that have a higher impact on the on-ice roster than a back-up goaltender. Schmidt would also return more than a 3rd in a trade (even with an expansion draft looming), so either way this trade would be Washington settling for far beneath market value.

Easy pass.

 

[MakeCgyGreatAgain]

Rather have Grubauer at the cheaper cost.

 

[hockeykicker]

But then Washington would lose Nate Schmidt so easy pass for caps

 

[seafoam]

NYI sticks with Greiss.

He's the best goalie they've had in a while.

Grubauer will cost you a 1st+. You have to not only pay what Grubauer is worth, but also what Nate Schmidt is worth (since the Caps will lose him in expansion as well).

While I understand not doing it because you could lose a dman but how is Grubauer worth more than Scott Darling? IMO they are pretty equal.

As an isles fan no interest in grubauer and no, you are out of your friggin mind if you think he will cost a 1st + lmao

 

[Volica]

Calgary will simply deal with Vegas.
Whoever of: Grubauer, Fleury & Raanta that they don't want; Calgary will likely end up with.

 

[CodeE]

We need a goalie though

 

[deathtouchtrample]

Lol, trade a 3rd for a goalie upgrade then trade your worse goalie for a 2nd.

 

[Joel Ward]

Why is 25 year old RFA Philipp Grubauer being traded for the same price as the rights to impending UFA, 28 year old Scott Darling?

Scott Darling was a pending UFA. That 3rd was just for his contract rights.

Grubauer is much more comparable to Martin Jones, Robin Lehner, or Frederik Andersen. Still shy of the Schneider/Varlamov level, but commanding substantial trade value.

Garth Snow is a genius

 

[LordNeverLose]

1. Why would NYI decide to ditch Greiss now?
2. Why wouldn't CGY just offer the 2nd for Grubauer?

I think they don't have a 2nd or 3rd this year

 

[LordNeverLose]

I think they don't have a 2nd or 3rd this year

Yet they're trading a 2nd for Greiss in this scenario?

 

[Flameshomer]

Not only would we rather just trade for Grubauer, we don't have a 2nd to trade anyways.

 

[Lunatik]

A 1st, sure. But a 1st plus? Unlikely.

 

[MikeyMike01]

Bad form to trade a guy a few months after he signs an extension.

 

[Bjornar Moxnes]

While I understand not doing it because you could lose a dman but how is Grubauer worth more than Scott Darling? IMO they are pretty equal.

Because Grubauer is a 25 year old RFA, and Darling is a 28 year old UFA? Also Grubauer is a good goalie in every facet of the game, whereas Darling may be a beast at stopping the puck and vision speaking, but IQ, rebound control, puck moving, etc. is relatively poor? Also expansion plays a role.

 

[Aucoin3]

haha Go Garth Snow he just got more for Greiss than he gave up for Grauber. So Isles upgrade their goaltending and get a 2nd, 5th round pick for a 3rd round pick

 

[Strait2thecup]

Greiss is definitely better than grubauer currently.....
