Value of: Heed, LaDue, Folin, Nelson, Welinski, Santini, Dotchin, C.Wideman or Schmaltz to Edmonton

[ChaoticOrange]

Curious as to the trade value and availability of a few different inexpensive defencemen...

Tim Heed (SJS)
Andy Welinski (ANA)
Christian Folin (PHI)
Casey Nelson (BUF)
Paul LaDue (LAK)
Steve Santini (NJD)
Jake Dotchin (TBL)
Chris Wideman (OTT)
Jordan Schmaltz (STL)

Any of these guys available for a pick and a B prospect?

LaDue or Fantenberg could be dealt to Edmonton fairly easily I'd say.

What would the ask be for either? Prefer LaDue as a RHD would make things easier.

 

[DistantThunderRep]

Could easily grab Dotchin for a pick from Tampa. Like a fourth and its pretty much done.

IMHO Wideman is as close to valueless as it comes - if the Sens could get a pick and a prospect for him they'd be doing well.

But I would be worried about that leaving a (further) stain on Ottawa management. Wideman could have walked as a UFA this summer, but was signed for one year shortly before free agency opened up. I imagine he did that because he decided he wanted to be here, because if he wanted to be elsewhere he could have waited a week and gone elsewhere. To sign a pending UFA then trade him in the same summer is probably not a move a GM makes unless it is the player's preference or some mitigating circumstance makes it explainable why they moved on from their virtually-UFA signing before the preseason.

I would do this in a heartbeat.

Basically I just want another RHD warm body or two that can play at the NHL level and stop Chiarelli from doing something stupid like going ‘yeah Bouchard can play the whole season’ and going back to his nap.

Understand wanting to keep guys that actually want to stay and get through the rough spots.

You want Folin for a pick + B prospect?

Do you accept a blank check?

Obviously there’s going to be a range of values in there Folin won’t have Welinski
/Nelson/Schmaltz value.

Do you accept conditional 7ths and Vincent Desharnais...es?

 

[DeVols]

We just signed Santini to a 3 year, $1.4M extension on Tuesday. I doubt that we'll be looking to move him for what you're suggesting.

I assumed as much. Thanks.

 

[SpeakingOfTheDevils]

Santini is probably the least obtainable on the list.

 

[ChaoticOrange]

Would definitely entertain other options as well, doesn’t have to be just these guys.

The key is acquisition price. Like a 2nd rounder max for whoever you’re offering.

 

[ChaoticOrange]

Santini is probably the least obtainable on the list.

Probably.

I doubt Anaheim is going to line up to do us favours either, but the Kings guy seemed fine with moving LaDue.

Dotchin for a fourth seems like weirdly decent value but I would definitely take it.

Why the hell would LA help out a division team. Don’t see Blake doing either but surely not LaDue before he gets a fair shot this year.

 

[go4hockey]

Blake and Co have said all summer that LaDue will get a fair shot this year. Don’t see him getting moved until that happens and don’t see LA helping a team they may be battling for a playoff spot.

 

[MMC]

Not really interested in trading Welinski unless you guys overpay. Think he’s our 3RHD next season

 

[Voodoo Glow Skulls]

Nick Jensen of interest?

 

[VoluntaryDom]

Dotchin for a 3rd or 4th, Hedman makes his numbers look good but he’s really a #6 dude. Maybe Edmonton could get him back to 16-17 form. Who knows. He has some potential but not in Tampa.

 

[Jumptheshark]

lot a crap on that list that would have trouble topping the guys the oilers have in their system

Ethen Bear at 21 stepped up at the end of last year and he will get a long look this fall

 

[ChaoticOrange]

Nick Jensen of interest?

Eh. Maybe a bit.

Lot of guys on that list that would stop us from having to gift bear or Bouchard a spot out of camp. They both have a good bit of work to do defensively.

 

[VoluntaryDom]

Also - doubt Heed goes anywhere.

 

[Voodoo Glow Skulls]

Eh. Maybe a bit.

Can't imagine it cost much. Phil Kemp

Or like a 3rd or 4th(prospect maybe instead)

Sold!
