All Purpose Trade / Roster Building Thread Pt 11

[CandyCanes]

I’d be okay with the Bogosian signing, but I want him as a veteran backup. Bean and a maybe a few of the others deserve a shot first, this is the time you give them an opportunity. Let’s see if one can step up and take the open roster spot. If not, Bogosian slides in and takes over.

 

[The Jerk Store]

Didn’t Waddell state before the season began that he wanted Ned to get around ten games or so? Well, here we are.

I want to see Keane, shiny new toy or not, he looked amazing last night from the tiny bit I saw of the Checkers game.

 

[AD Skinner]

If they decide lehner is too expensive I'd be down with seeing what Crawford Miller or Dell would cost... Dell would be a treat just to hear john refer to him by his full name and to make lord of the rings jokes

 

[bleedgreen]

No Dougie or Peesh down the stretch?

You don’t trade a first during that. Not unless whoever has multiple years left.

 

[CanesFanBudMan]

Send them the checkers

 

[DaveG]

I'd do a conditional pick for one of Miller, Dell, Anderson (3rd, 2nd if the Canes make the conference finals with them playing >x number of games as the starter). Maybe kick the tires on Georgiev if we think he could be something long-term but if the ask is higher than our 2nd they can pound sand.

Otherwise, it's Ned time.

 

[spockBokk]

Pulling out some reverse-psych mumbo-jumbo, does it make sense to nothing, rely on what you have and tell the team we believe in you?

(I still think they will have to make a move for a G regardless)

 

[Wolfpuck]

I love me some Lehner, but this is the perfect chance for Ned to show his stuff. If need be, Forsberg is serviceable at the NHL level as well, so if we stand pat in goal, it's probably not the end of the world.

Our defense though...

 

[bleedgreen]

Ned, Forsberg while rotating through the more experienced and defensive minded Charlotte d. While we’d like to see Bean, history with the Borg shows that they give the guys on the roster bigger roles while generally calling up people who are good at being fourth liners and third pair guys. Maybe Bean gets a sniff but it wouldn’t surprise me to see Forsling, Mckeown, and Claesson. Forsling isn’t the most defensive but he’s got a ton of pro experience.

It's a good question... do you try to get that 3rd period level of ass busting again by saying we believe in you you can do it? Or do you reward it with saying hey here's some reinforcements, go out there and keep doing it? I dont know. I feel like they'll have to get someone to play goal whether its Raleigh or Charlotte or Greenville I dont think theres enough goalies to go around

 

[hblueridgegal]

If so, I will miss his sweet self. But probably better for him and us.

 

[dogbazinho]

I'd roll with what we got unless someone wants Dzingel. The timing of this was awful considering trading Gauthier for a non roster player and the reasonable trades for Demelo and Dillon

 

[MrazeksVengeance]

I wonder if HFJets can do a trade with HFCanes. 1 for 1 - we get @MrazeksVengeance and they get the Hockey Professor.

JETS HFBOARDS WANNA SIGN ME.

 

[The Jerk Store]

I'd put money on Mckeown being the call up.

 

[GeorgeJETson]

JETS HFBOARDS WANNA SIGN ME.

Well, to be fair, once everyone understands whom HFJets is offering up, it would probably be a hard pass from everyone here

 

[spockBokk]

He’s the 1 roster player I could see moved at this point. I’ve heard Haula’s name out there, but don’t see it as a possibility. He’s finally settled into a role with Necas and Niederreiter that provides the team much needed and so far, reliable secondary scoring.

Also, after last night, how in the world can you mess with the room? Those guys pulled together like I’ve never seen a team do in that 3rd period. Yesterday, I was all about moving TVR, Edmundson or Haula for picks. Now, just can’t see it, need them all and I don’t think you can mess with whatever mojo in the room they took from last night.

type all this up then see this:



No idea if it’s a legit source, but that’s an interesting take:

-Pens sign Bogosian
-Pens trade Shultz to CAR as a rental for Haula as a rental

In a weird way, seems like something the front office would really consider.

We would need someone to fill properly the 4th line center AND SOMETHING TO BOOT for it to be even remotely sensible.

 

[bleedgreen]

If Bogosian is healthy enough to hold a third pair spot, with the history he has with DW it wouldn’t surprise me if we tried that.

Rod would love him. He’s an old school dman with character.

I’m not pining for it, other than I like that we don’t give up assets for it. Pay him a little more than everyone else is and there’s your depth to get through the tough times and you won’t mind having him as an extra if we make the playoffs.

I’ll say again, I’m an advocate of using Charlotte for this problem but I highly doubt our coach is.

 

[TheReelChuckFletcher]

Bogosian is a sensible move right now with the injuries to Hamilton and Pesce. Much like Willy, no picks necessary, and at the very least he’s a replacement-level guy for the bottom-pairing to ride the storm.

 

[DougieSmash]

Haula for Schultz is epic win for Pens.

 

[TheReelChuckFletcher]

Haula for Schultz is epic win for Pens.

Yes, I'm now of the belief that the smart move is to hold every single player on the ice last night for the rest of the season. These guys are good, and the locker room right now is at the most unified that it's ever been this season. Get some stopgaps, see who wants it the most, and ride the storm until Dougie and Brett are back.

 

[TheReelChuckFletcher]

BTW, guys, this is where having Dundon instead of Karmanos may have saved the season. You see, Forsberg got a 1-way deal in arbitration and was sent to Charlotte anyways. During the JR/Karmanos era, you very well could've seen a similar thing that they did to Brian Boucher and had Forsberg cash-dumped and attached to a long-shot prospect (say, Lorentz). Instead, Dundon and the new FO let him stick around and play with Ned, and as it turns out, they're now likely to need both of them for at least the next week or so. It feels so good to have an ownership team that doesn't (overly) meddle with the hockey guys and is mainly there just to sign the checks.

 

[Cardiac Jerks]

Apparently we should sign Cam Ward
