Trade Fayne and Monster for Halak

 

[Grey Poupon*]

Screw these rental prices. DO NOT WANT.

 

[djdub]

I'm not really sure what we could offer for Iginla anyway. 1st is out of the question and we don't have our 2nd, so a 3rd?

I would feel comfortable offering a 4th at most for Iginla. That even seems high to me.

A 3rd is an overpayment. Iginla is done. He can't play anymore.

 

[awesomo]

ott got like a 6th. iginla is prolly worth that maybe less

 

[belair]

Neuvirth and retained Filppula please. Sharp if he's not too injured.

Filppula's a no go now.

DD likely means we were either never in on him or he refused to waive.

 

[CupofOil]

Neuvirth and retained Filppula please. Sharp if he's not too injured.

I think Filppula would have already been an Oiler if he didn't have them on his no trade list. I'm guessing that the Filppula rumor earlier in the day about Tampa asking him to waive his NTC was about the Oilers and I have a feeling that was Chia's 1st choice for a Davidson trade or maybe 2nd after Boyle.

 

[SupremeTeam16]

Apparently it is, hence why its difficult to trade him. Too bad though. I would take him on this team easily if not for he injury problems.

Apparently it is? That's weird cause I mean he played sunday against Boston and had an assist and played 17 minutes tonight against the Pens. Sounds like it's something he is playing through.

If the cost is a 4th + contract with a condition that it becomes a 3rd if he plays 15 games down the stretch.

 

[djdub]

I have no idea why any rental player would refuse to go to Edmonton with an opportunity to play with McDavid... If you get take advantage, you could end up like Maroon and make a couple extra mill a year.

 

[McDrai]

A 3rd is an overpayment. Iginla is done. He can't play anymore.

47 points last season though. Maybe he can pick up his play once he's traded to a playoff contending team . I agree that he's not worth a 3rd though, most likely a 4th or 5th

 

[Spawn]

Matty seems confident we'll get a backup tomorrow.

 

[PBandJ]

I wouldn't mind Iginla, but he's about at the end of the road. We need guys who can go.

 

[Canovin]

Snow and Stevie Y record against Chia are pretty good. I wouldn't want him dealing with them. They're usually looking to fleece him

 

[Del Preston]

Iginla still has that rocket of a slapper, would be great on the power play. He looked pretty done when the Oilers played the Avs in November though. I haven't watched much of him since.

 

[MuzzaFuzza]

If SJ wins the cup the 4th turns to a first, no one would be complaining if they win the cup but that seems like a lot for a 3rd liner

 

[CantHaveTkachev]

A 3rd is an overpayment. Iginla is done. He can't play anymore.

maybe a motivated Iginla playing on a playoff team will spark him down the stretch

still a gritty, tough RH shot that could be used on the PP

throw a 5th rounder at Colorado

The Sharks will find a way to choke like they usually do.

Yeah, the Wild are looking deadly and even if they get past them the Caps will be an even bigger test.

 

[Joey Moss]

Wingers: Vrbata, Stempniak, Parenteau, Vanek, Stafford, Iginla, Hemsky, Hudler, Sharp
Goalies: Halak, Neuvirth, Nilsson

Still a lot of wingers available. I don't see why we don't add one if the price is a mid round pick +. I wouldn't give anything significant for Vrbata/Stempniak/Vanek/Parenteau/Sharp. The rest aren't worth that much anyways.

Getting Neuvirth and Sharp would be my dream scenario.

 

[Soundwave]

I think one of the Sharks, Ducks, Kings, Hawks, or one of those teams will add Iginla. Maybe the Penguins or Caps.

We'll get a goalie (Halak, Nilsson, or Neuvrith) and I think that's mostly it.

If the Avs would take a 3rd or 4th for Iggy I'd do it, just for the lulz.

Vrbata could be a nice addition especially for the pp. He's good at getting off the one timers and he could work well with McDavid on the first unit pp

I'd have interest, I think Calgary is interested in him though (GM has a connection to him from Phoenix days).

 

[ChokeOnOil]

This is never gonna happen, but boy would it be funny to trade for Hemsky and finally give him good line mates 10 years later

 

[Spawn]

I like the idea of Vrbata too. He's having a great year offensively. He'd be 3rd on our team in scoring right now. But that makes me think the cost might be pretty high. Other problem is he's never been much for a playoff performer. His production drops off big time.
