Value of: Are any of these Big Boys available in a trade? What would be the cost?

[Dirty Dog]

Everyone wants a big boy no doubt. But you gotta find a young one and a future big boy. Teams don’t give up veteran big boys

Ottawa takes that and runs, But are you sure you wanna acquire Batherson before the Hockey Canada Scandal investigation is complete? Might want to wait for the findings to be released before you acquire Batherson.

They will all be out of the game before damn report comes out.

I think it is Formenton

 

[Gecklund]

You can have Luke Kunin

Who's a big boy???

They will all be out of the game before damn report comes out.

As it stands now, no one from that team is eligible for international play until that report comes out.

Why this is important is because until that report comes out, Makar will not be eligible for the World Cup next year.

I think that all but guarantees that there will be pressure from above to release the report next offseason.

 

[Habsrule]

An I interest you in a Josh Anderson???

 

[AlexGretzchenvid]

Anderson is available but it’s going to be for a player with similar term unless someone wants to overpay with futures in win now mode and for the next few years.

Like Toronto.

But as a habs fan I don’t want anyone from Toronto other than their “star” prospects.

Pretty much though. Everyone laughs when teams "reach" for potential power forward and "overdraft" them at the table. But there's a reason for that. They're highly coveted and when they actually pan out, you basically can't pry them away from that team for anything remotely reasonable.

It's just a scarce resource in the league.

Has he improved at all in actually playing Center? If so, i could definitely see a team like the Canucks looking at him as a "budget big boy". He's really not that big, but he plays a pretty robust game physically and has enough hustle to fit the system. Could be a cheaper little "under the radar" pickup to add a RH C/W with some flexibility to maybe push the depth guys like Aman down another rung. But if he can't sub reasonably as a #4C down the middle, there's probably not much point. Especially if they do go out and make a bigger move for a Top-6 C/W that pushes other guys down the lineup. Especially since Lafferty has shown he can play in the middle just fine himself.

Wonder if Arizona would trade Keller?

I'm till waiting on the report on who killed JFK (Kennedy) .........

Unless Keller is stacked on another player in a trench coat, I don't think this fits what the OP was looking for.

He has been playing as a C but he is genuinely not very good. If you’re looking for him to be a bottom sixer that’s fine but he’s our 3C and its not great.
