Proposal: 2014-15 Season Trade Rumours/Proposals thread vol. III

[Sun God Nika]

Try moving Lehner, juusst try it, I dare you.

 

[Six Assets]

Leave Lehner alone!

 

[Super Cake]

Try moving Lehner, juusst try it, I dare you.

Ottawa Senators:
Breaking News!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!: Lehner has been traded to the Leafs for Lupul + Clarkson + 2015 2nd.

 

[BonkTastic]

I disagree. He needs to be given a chance to work on his offence in ottawa. As the players love to say, he is griping his stick too tight right now. He's getting his chances, and once he s his first, I think the goals will start to come. We don't need him to be a top scorer right now anyways with the way he plays defensively for us

Well, I disagree with your disagreement.

He's in a developmental year. The WORST POSSIBLE THING to let a kid do in a developmental year in which he is trying to develop his offensive game is to let him play through those "gripping his stick too hard" moments.

"Let's take this year, in which you should be honing your offensive skill by being an offensive player, and teach you what it's like not to score ever by not giving you offensive minutes". How on earth does that make sense?

Shouldn't be on the team.

It makes no sense that Lazar was kept up whike Pageau was sent back down.

Agreed.

I mean, it seemed easy enough: the guy who is NHL ready and WILL overcook if you keep him down too long gets sent down, and the guy who needs further development and WON'T overcook in Junior gets kept up? What?

Some Garrioch trade tidbits:

speculation about goalies = easy way to stir people up because they dont want Lehner or Anderson gone.

Its just garbage by Garrioch

 

[BonkTastic]

If he does move Lehner, are you going to double-dog dare him not to move someone else?

It better be garbage. Moving Lehner would hurt badly.

Methot for Perron is a win.

Perron - Zibanejad - Ryan
MacArthur - Turris - Stone
Hoffman - Legwand - Chiasson
Michalek - Smith - Neil
Greening, Condra

Sick forward group.

Just need to find a way to get rid of Michalek and Greening.

Our biggest problem is defense. We have other internal solutions I believe we could look at. Why not call up Puempel who had a very good camp?

Perron is soft as butter. He can put up points and I'd gladly take him on the team but trading Methot who is our best true Dman when we sorely need him for more offense is not making us better. It makes us better in offense but substantially weaker on defense.

If Murray can somehow grab Perron + something interesting for Methot + Smith it would be more enticing but a Perron for Methot isn't what we need I believe

defense -> internal solutions -> Puempel

This.. does not make sense.

Puemps has just found his scoring touch this year. Leave him down there for a while.

Lazar to junior after the WJC, Pageau up. Simple.

Oh, and I wouldn't mind moving Andy if it's part of a package for a young elite (and I stress elite) forward if we're doing the purge thing.

If Lazar is up here, I have no clue why Puempel couldn't. He had a great preseason and showed what he can do. Why not give him a shot, doesn't have to be 60 games either... Just to see what he can bring. He is likely to be on the team next year and I think it would be good to give him a shot while he's doing very well.

The defense part was about trading Methot for a winger?

 

[HSF]

methot isnt getting Perron + .....he is a UFA

Draisaitl would be amazing but unrealistic imo


Stewart is probably likely

 

[mcnorth]

If we get Stewart for Meth I'm going to barf.

Because that'll mean we traded Foligno for Stewart. And that's sickening.

i doubt we trade methot for stewart

doesn't really help buffalo cause i doubt Methot is eager to sign there

 

[Pierre from Orleans]

I would be pretty disappointed for a Methot / Stewart trade. Never understood the hype nor fascination with him

 

[HispanicAtTheDisco]

Stewart is probably likely

I'd be willing to add if it means we could snag Draisaitl. I would include any of:
2015 2nds (Either or both)
Chiasson
Smith
I'm sure a package could be worked out around that.

 

[Pierre from Orleans]

What's the scouting report on Draisaitl?

 

[HSF]

I would be pretty disappointed for a Methot / Stewart trade. Never understood the hype nor fascination with him

again no one said Methot for Stewart and that doesn't make sense for Buffalo unless he is willing to sign with the worst team in the league


they probably want a prospect

 

[Sensinitis]

Worse and slower version of Zibanejad, atm.

 

[HSF]

What's the scouting report on Draisaitl?

Assets: A top offensive forward, he excels at playmaking and puck distribution (but he can also finish off plays himself). Is obsessed with getting better in his overall game and plays with passion. Is a great passer.

Flaws: At times, his exuberance gets him into trouble on the ice. Therefore, he needs to become more disciplined in order to maximize his vast offensive talent. Also, he needs to work on his consistency.

Career Potential: Talented playmaker with big upside.



His skating isn't that great but he has good size for a center..slower but better passing zibby


I can't see edm giving him up without us giving them some really solid piece like lehner

 

[Pierre from Orleans]

Half of my point still stands. Never understood the hype for him

 

[mcnorth]

Draisatl is their best center most nights. He's no Nuge long term, but I don't think he's in play from their end.

I do think we could get a conversation started on Nurse and Perron and a mid-pick if we moved Meth and Smith.

 

[HSF]

he hasn't gotten much hype for a while now

low risk with potential high reward player

Sounds like a good prospect and an expensive one to obtain in terms of assets

to get nurse and perron i think it will atleast cost Anderson + Methot +pick (depending on if methot signs)

even then they are really high on nurse

That sounds like a lot of our stopgap signings over the years
