Proposal: Trade Proposal Thread Part 6

[1909]

I didn't mean to forget about him because he's not playing well, rather because Flames will never trade him.

Right now, they are not in a position to sit on some of their assets. If they want to salvage their season, they got to make some moves. Has don't need another RHD like Hamilton. If Petry wasn't around, maybe...

Brodie is still very young and on a good contract. He's probably one of the last players that will get traded. He's part of the solution on that team.

No doubt

If Montreal adds a depth d-man this year it will probably be a guy in the last year of his contract ........Wideman,Brendan Smith,Tyutin,Daley,Oduya,Del Zotto,Kulikov,John-Michael Liles,Gilbert,Seidenberg,Hainsey,Streit,Shattenkirk,Brian Campbell but he's not going anywhere because he plays on a good team,Brent Burns is of course the biggest name in the last year of his contract he's not going anywhere,the other options would be to trade for someone like Scandella,Minnesota probably looking to move a d-man so they will not lose him for free in expansion draft.

I like those names above. Campbell/Streit/Oduya I think are 3 depth guys that MB should look for at TDL and probably won't cost to much. Probably one of CHI 2nd round picks and a B level prospect.

What about going after the twins? 1 year left on contract, we get out center and LW and we can trade Pleks + youth and picks since Vancouver will probably want to rebuild.

Plecs's play is killing gally, he needs help

So if help is obtained for Gally, what happens to Plecs? Becomes a third line center? Plecs is untradeable at that salary.

They are slowing and are having a tough time transitioning to the speed of the new NHL.....and their contracts are way too rich for us. It would be a step back for our organization imo.

Yes I would love that. Both of them on a second line as a supporting cast would breathe new life in them. They could still cycle and move the puck at a high level. Problem of course would be the money, almost impossible to make that happen with those contracts.

with the gm meetings tomorrow,i expect there to be some deals made in the near future. id love to see berg grab a d man sooner rather than later.

 

[The Great Weal]

2nd+Ghetto+DD for Sharp(50%)

 

[Runner77]

Are you guys done with including Ghetto in fake trades? Everyone knows he has zero value.

I can't tell if that's a satire.

It's the Habs board special of the day!

I would love to say that a player who could have been had for free won't fetch any asset but then I remember that MB gave up an asset for John Scott.

What an asset that was.

Don't blame you, but it was a joke

Vancouver won't have the guts, or won't be classless enough, to trade the twins.

"An asset"? The guy cleared waivers and got suspended for substance abuse. He's played 7 NHL games since we traded him. Barely more than John Scott.

Or was Stefan Fournier the asset?

He has little value. Not zero value.

It's been explained by many that a guy clearing waivers does not mean he won't be traded. Look at Rene Bourque and Christian Thomas as examples. They were offered to the other 29 teams for free yet no one claimed them. A few weeks later, someone traded for them (Anaheim and Arizona, respectively).

Andrighetto alone (or the main piece in a deal) won't land you a big fish like Duchene. But he can be traded. He does not have zero value.

- Teams have an NHL salary cap to work with.
- Certain GMs have an owner-imposed cap to deal with.
- Teams have a 50 contract limit they have to respect.
- Teams end up with injuries that require a move to fill up spots (both in NHL and AHL)

A lot of variables come into play that forces a team to trade for a player they weren't willing to pick up free on waivers a few weeks earlier.

You're ignoring the possibility of negative trade value.

Negative trade value can always be traded for negative trade value.

It won't be picked up on waivers though.

We're all well aware of the constraints and variables that enter into the equation of managing assets.

However, it's quite the stretch to say he has value, when all he has, is negligible value at best. While technically negligible value is value, it's still inconsequential and doesn't justify mentions in the multiple fake trades in this thread.

When we drafted him I was excited about having Tinordi. Too bad he didn't pan out.

We should sign him now that he's available again.

The fake trade thread needs a boost.

 

[Whitesnake]

I know...not the toughest player. I know, not the biggest. But with the idea to slighly improve our centerman line, when he's ready to go, make a pitch to get Bryan Little. And give something with Pleks to do so.

I know, he also seems to be regressing pointwise. Maybe a change of scenery will spark him.
