Speculation: Armchair GM Thread Mk. II - Now Paging Derek Ryan

[Calculon]

Hamilton for Lindholm+Hanifin?

Yeah, I'd do that.

 

[DCDM]

That would be one of the few instances trading Hamilton would be okay.

Lindholm on this team makes me feel a kinda way.

 

[FlamerForLife]

If Hamilton for Lindholm + Hanifin were to go down:

Gaudreau-Monahan-Lindholm
Tkachuk-Backlund-Frolik
Bennett-Jankowski-Ferland
Lazar-Shore-Brouwer

Giordano-Brodie
Hanifin-Hamonic
Kulak-Stone/Andersson

That would be a good haul but Dougie's a beauty not sure how I would feel if he does end up getting traded.

 

[Calculon]

Too much smoke about Hamilton. I am not going to be surprised if he's moved.

I'd try

Gaudreau-Monahan-Ferland
Tkachuk-Jankowski-Lindholm
Bennett-Backlund-Frolik
Lazar-Shore-Brouwer

 

[Tkachuk Norris]

Hamilton for Dumba and Nino

 

[CamPopplestone]

If Hamilton for Lindholm + Hanifin were to go down:

Gaudreau-Monahan-Lindholm
Tkachuk-Backlund-Frolik
Bennett-Jankowski-Ferland
Lazar-Shore-Brouwer

Giordano-Brodie
Hanifin-Hamonic
Kulak-Stone/Andersson

That would be a good haul but Dougie's a beauty not sure how I would feel if he does end up getting traded.

I'd do Ferland with Backlund and Matt. Frolik as a veteran, stabilizing presence for Janks and Bennett, at least give that a try. Can always reunite 3M if it didn't work

 

[Tkachuky]

Hamilton for Dumba and Nino

I like the hanifin option better.

 

[Anglesmith]

Oh man. If Hanifin and Lindholm lived up to their draft billing, it would be a good deal. If they are what they've been the last couple of years, we'd be taking a major bath.

 

[Mobiandi]

Is Hamilton one of the guys that doesn't fit into the culture that Treliving wants here?

Weird why he would consider dumping him so fast

 

[Rangediddy]

Would we want to do BOTH rumoured trades?
Hamilton for Hanifin & Lindholm
Brodie & Bennett for Mark Stone

Gaudreau-Monahan-Stone
Tkachuk-Backlund-Lindholm
Ferland-Jankowski-Frolik
Insert random 4th liners

Gio-Hanifin
Andersson-Hamonic
Kulak-Stone

I think I'd prefer our lineup without doing the Stone deal (similar to FFL's lineup)

 

[Tkachuky]

We’re not getting Stone for Brodie and Bennett.

 

[DCDM]

No to doing both. That defense goes from very good to very questionable if we drop both Hamilton and Brodie and only slide Hanifin in.

 

[Rangediddy]

We’re not getting Stone for Brodie and Bennett.

Hypothetically. Let's just pretend its a deal that subtracts Brodie and Bennett and brings Stone in.

 

[Rockmorton]

We’re not getting Stone for Brodie and Bennett.

Tre’s pulled some voodoo magic before.

 

[Mobiandi]

More from this dude

 

[DCDM]

We better not trade Hamilton to the f***ing Oilers.

 

[Kybb79]

Ship Dougie and Brodie out. I won't miss them one bit.

 

[Calculon]

That guy is not reliable. And Treliving literally just said he's not going to move a bunch of defensemen. No way he moves both Hamilton and Brodie. One or the other or maybe just Stone.

 

[MonyontheMoney]

Immediately thought that Hamilton would be moved when I read Trelivings comments about a player not fitting in and that there would be a big move because of it.

I mean, mainly because of the rumours that was one of the reasons Bostson moved him in the first place.

 

[Johnny Hoxville]

Change Ferland to Bennett and Fox to Anderssson and I think they bite

Curious, you thibk Bennett holds more value than Ferland?

 

[Mobiandi]

Weird why Peters would sing the praises of the Gio-Hamilton pair and talk about how elite they are if Treliving was considering trading Dougie

 

[Johnny Hoxville]

I also see Lindholm as playing both C and Wing. Lindholm playing with Tkachuk and Bennett would be a heckuva fun line.

 

[Mr Snrub]

Ship Dougie and Brodie out. I won't miss them one bit.

I'm sure.

 

[Anglesmith]

Weird why Peters would sing the praises of the Gio-Hamilton pair and talk about how elite they are if Treliving was considering trading Dougie

a) because he is currently a member of the team signed through next season and b) because it doesn't hurt the price.

 

[Sparky93]

I would think there’d be a pretty significant add to Hamilton for Hanifin + Lindholm. I’d say the difference between Bennett + Lindholm is pretty close to the one between Hanifin + Hamilton, so I’d say both wouldn’t be an option. I fully expect Valimaki to put up a fairly good challenge for a roster spot and wouldn’t expect Hanifin/Andersson to switch sides.
