Speculation: Rumours, Speculation, and Armchair GM talk - XIV

[Skobel24]

I think the flames should put in a claim for Panik to replace Byron. Panik has higher potential IMO then Panik and has enough skill to play in the top 6 if needed

He'd really be more of a replacement for Colborne. Even then, he'd be waived once Colby is back.

 

[Anglesmith]

So, there's a team out there right now which has Chad Johnson as its #1 goalie for the foreseeable future...

Ramo and Colborne for Nelson?

 

[Bouma Fett*]

So they either are giving Lehner his chance to be their guy or tanking for Matthews, Buffalo fans will be happy either way

 

[Anglesmith]

Ramo and Colborne for Nelson?

Nelson doesn't play for Buffalo, and Johnson doesn't play for NYI anymore.

I'll take a used water bottle for Ramo! #notconvinced

 

[Johnny Hoxville]

[Calculon]

Hiller/Ramo to the Sabres for a 2nd. Make it so Treliving.

 

[Anglesmith]

We should acquire their second in exchange for a conditional goalie.

 

[Johnny Hoxville]

Yeah, this is perfect for us. Who goes though?

 

[Wayne Primeau]

Go with Hiller. Trade Ramo.

 

[Pirate King Luffy]

Go with Hiller. Trade Ramo.

I agree.

 

[Lunatik]

But Murray wants a young goalie. If Lehner can demand a king's ransom. Ortio & Smid for a 1st

 

[Ainsy01]

Hiller to Buffalo

If Lehner is hurt for any extended period of time (was wearing a walking boot, and showed up to camp in terrible shape cause of concussion issues) Buffalo needs a goalie ASAP to keep their paper ship afloat. Treliving should have Tim Murray on Line 1 as we speak. Im speculating that Hiller will be the one to move. Would love to see what others think, and possible Ramo deals! Fire away, I cant see a deal not happening.

CGY:
Hiller

Buffalo:
Nick Baptiste

or

CGY:
Hiller

Buffalo:
3rd and 5th round picks, after Murray declines to trade his 2nd.

 

[InfinityIggy]

I like both offers, both seem pretty realistic.

 

[Lunatik]

Ortio and Smid for a 1st.

 

[Johnny GODreau]

I like em. Either get a RW prospect or a couple picks.

 

[Taranis]

Id rather package a cap dump for a meh pick then go for a high one.

 

[Turning Mangiapanese]

Not knowing a lot about their prospects (at least ones that could be had for a Jonas Hiller), I think a 3rd round pick is fair.
We'd then need to pick up some cheap journeyman vet for Stockton and insurance if one of the Finns gets injured.

 

[Taranis]

Ramo and Smid (who I believe would be an upgrade for their D) for a 2nd.

 

[Lunatik]

I was mocking the Lehner trade

 

[Turning Mangiapanese]

Ramo and Smid (who I believe would be an upgrade for their D) for a 2nd.

Don't think Smid has any positive trade value at the moment unfortunately. If he proves to be 100% healthy then maybe, but then again I'd just use him on our 3rd pairing over Engelland.

 

[Calculon]

Hiller/Ramo for a second or third seems reasonable. But because it's HF;

Russell
Hiller
2017 6th round draft pick

For

Baptiste
Makarov
2016 2nd round draft pick
2017 3rd round draft pick

 

[Lunatik]

The goalie market is almost nonexistent. You are kidding yourselves if you truly think we will get much of value for Ramo or Hiller.

 

[Tkachuk Norris]

I think the OP is pretty fair. 3rd and a 5th sounds about right. that, or a second, can't see us getting more then that though.
