Off Season Trade Thread vol. X - He's gone edition

[Emerica]

I would do naked cartwheels if we somehow ended up with Matt Read in this deal.

 

[VVS]

I can't believe acquiring a $4 million player like Lecavalier hinges on salary being retained.

For a guy well past his prime, with a contract for another 4 years it makes perfect sense.

We would be doing them a favour taking him off their team.

 

[OgieO]

I can see it now:
1. Murray gets $, prospect and Lecavalier for next to nothing
2. Next year Ryan signs in Philly
3. Fuhr craps all over Murray for getting played and allowing Philly to get cap room to sign Ryan.

 

[Hossa18]

Size and skill wins

You said size and strength not skill.

 

[PatrickEaves]

People never really break up... they just spend time apart.

You should tell that to my ex'es that got/are getting married this summer.

 

[HSF]

I figured it was a given

 

[Tkachuk27]

Lecavalier interest picked up by Flyers media personality (Comcast Sportsnet Insider)...

Tim Panaccio @tpanotchCSN
Lecavalier to OTT? Sens want Flyers 2 pick up salary and want something else for taking him off their hands ... #vinnysagacontinues

Wiercioch + Greening 2nd for Lecavalier 50% off + Read

 

[Tundraman]

I'm surprised we'd want someone who is over the age of 30 with 4 years left on their contract.

Maybe the salary could be next year and the next one after that equal to his total bonuses left about $2.5M instead of this year. I hope it's Condra who goes to Philly he would cost them less in money back to help their cap this year and also in term he really isn't needed anymore. I still value Greening more he would be easier to trade later if need be.

The fact that Philly always gets robbed makes me somewhat hopeful for this trade

... to... eachother?

Sounds like a fun wedding.

Wiercioch + Greening 2nd for Lecavalier 50% off + Read

People here are getting greedy.

 

[Marty Straka]

Wiercioch + Greening 2nd for Lecavalier 50% off + Read

They want to save money.. they barely save in this scenario... without taking into account how unfair that is for Philly.

Ron Hextall is the Flyers GM now... He was the Kings assistant

Would u trade werichioch for Turris?

Cause that is how highly held read is there

 

[YouGotAStuGoing]

The only trade he's made for the Flyers so far is Umberger + 4th for Hartnell.

Still reason for optimism.

 

[Tkachuk27]

People here are getting greedy.

After the last couple trades why not get greedy

 

[BonkTastic]

Well, he did trade Hartnell for Umberger.

Maybe he contracted Malignant Holmgrenitis?

Setting yourself up for disappointment, maybe?

 

[NyQuil]

We're getting Chris Stewart today or tomorrow.

Apparently Ottawa is also going hard after Legwand.

#NQ5

 

[cage]

Sigh, we always seem to go out and get "big name" guys after losing one of our top players

I think Melnyk believes names like Kovalev and Lecavalier will bring fans to the games.

True also didnt know Colin Greening has a NTC

 

[Tkachuk27]

can't be any more disappointed than I am already

 

[HavlatMach9]

E5 has a 50% success rate I believe, what's it for NQ5?

 

[costermonger]

Setting yourself up for disappointment, maybe?

Heh. No need to seek out our own these days.
