Proposal: 16th overall for a goalie to CGY

[Ainsy01]

The 16th overall pick is likely going to be Trelivings best trade chip to bring in a goalie, especially with the expansion draft looming. Its not too early of a pick that it really hurts, and its not too late that it still has good value. Who comes back in a trade for the 16 OA ?

Bonus question; Does Elliot re-sign as a back-up?

SJ could start the conversation with Aaron Dell.

 

[Vancouver Canucks]

Fleury.

 

[Kaibur]

Mike Smith

Smith is 36. I mean, I don't think he's a long-term goaltender, even if he signs with the Flames.

 

[Johnny Hoxville]

Mrazek is the right answer here.

 

[Number1RedWingsFan52]

Jimmy Howard with 50% retention But Seriously this would scream Petr Mrazek.

SJ could start the conversation with Aaron Dell.

and the conversation would end right there. Dell played great, but he has 20 NHL games total.

 

[Mighty Makar]

Varlamov

Should we send in the paper work?

 

[Lunatik]

Mrazek and possibly Grubauer are the only goalies I would consider moving our 1st for. Anything else would be sheer stupidity.

Please do, Don't really want to lose Mrazek but for the #16 pick pretty sure we could draft a better goalie in this draft Jake Oettinger comes to mind.

 

[Number1RedWingsFan52]

Brad Treliving to Ken Holland? Pick up the phone, I want to trade our #16 pick for Petr Mrazek.

In either case I would like to see a pick or something more coming back to the Flames as well.

16th overall is a lot to give up for a goalie who hasn't proven to be anything but a backup so far or a goalie who has struggled mightily for a season and a half now.

Ideally I'd like to see a 2nd rounder go for either of these goalies, but we don't have one so it would have to be the 2018 2nd rounder or something else has to come with the goalie.

Martin Jones -> 29th overall + C prospect
Cam Talbot -> 57th + 79th (swap of 7th rounders as well)
Frederick Andersen -> 30th overall + 2nd rounder

I don't see any way either of those goalies is worth 16th overall, given the soft goalie market.

Fleury.

An obvious answer, although Pittsburgh might rather let Vegas take him than lose another player, who would be worth more than 16 OV.

Fleury really has played at an elite level all this year, not just the playoffs. He has been close to that the past few years in fact but his rep followed him.

Based on this chart, Calgary would be better off with Elliott.

This...

 

[Maurice of Orange]

It would not be wise to trade the 16th overall pick for a goaltender. Calgary can sign a goalie when free agency starts without giving up an asset.

 

[Epic Neal Time]

Based on this chart, Calgary would be better off with Elliott.

I would argue that Fleury has shown the capability to be "the guy" and play well for 60+ games consistently. But I'm not sure if an expanded role explains Elliot's sub-par season.

 

[Anthony5967]

Raanta is easily ready to start and has impressed with Chicago and the NYR when given playing time. Raanta+Klein for the 16??

 

[Cousin Eddie]

16th overall for Pickard and 32nd overall. Book it.

 

[Oscar Lindberg]

Raanta is your guy

Rangers will even throw in your pick of Pirri/Clendening/Klein/Holden to get it done

 

[Tkachuk Norris]

Fleury.

Fleury won't get 16.

I'd do Mrazek. He just had a bad season. We have a deep prospect pool
So I think we can sacrifice this first. Even though it's a gamble (so is a first though)

16 oa

To Cal: Mrazek + Nyquist

To Det: 16 OA + Gillies +*

* realize that the Wings might have to take salary/cap space back. Brodie and Bouma would be candidates. Brouwer is NOT a consideration.

 

[Jaded-Fan]

Based on this chart, Calgary would be better off with Elliott.

It is academic anyways in my opinion. Pittsburgh would likely rather have Vegas take Fleury than lose a player like Maatta. Anyone of the players talked about being exposed to the draft for Pittsburgh has more value to them than the 16th OV.
