Left disappointed...

Campbell for Weiss and Ouellett. XO is gonna be a beast dman and to counter salary we'd take back Weiss.. Put Bjugstad on the wing..

No to Weiss. I loved him here when he was with us, but his contract and his deteriorating play in Detroit scares me.

Campbell is making 7 mil which makes him nearly impossible to move, and we'd be getting their top d prospect back.

I don't know. If we could do it without retaining salary, I guess I could live with it. We'd have Weiss on that contract for another 4 years though. I'm not confident he'll improve enough to be worth it in the long run.

 

[Big Bjugs]

Weiss burned his own bridge here. He had an offer but got greedy so **** him, he can stay in the press box and feel ashamed.

 

[FlaPnthrsPunk]

As much as I'd be fine with getting rid of Campbell at some point as his interest seems to be headed elsewhere and he hasn't been worth his salary in quite some time, our defense would also lose a huge hole without him. If we're not in the playoff race at the deadline, I'd say do it.

NO.
THANKS.

Ship has sailed.

 

[Cats2TheCup]

So it would be a tanking move?

That'll start filling the seats again!

He said the Panthers didn't offer him a contract

This, IIRC he wanted to stay, but Tallon never gave him the option.

Feel bad for the guy.

Really? I was always under the impression he was given an offer but it was low.

 

[JP Mick]

Really? I was always under the impression he was given an offer but it was low.

I'm pretty sure Tallon let him walk and test the open market and didn't offer him a contract. I think GR got it out of him after he signed with the wings, but don't quote me on it.

I want Jurco.

 

[iam76]

jurco +

 

[FrolikFan67]

i doubt we're getting one of their better young forwards in jurco for a 35yr old with only 1yr left after this season. they're not that close to making a cup run to give up assets like him, not saying jurco is just so amazing or anything, but i think its unrealistic to expect him in a deal.

kindl + pulkkinen + 1st for campbell (33% retained) + pick?

we'd want a D who could step in the lineup to help fill the void, not just a project. kindl's signed for the next 3yrs at 2.4per, which isnt bad for a 3rd pairing guy. will turn 28 by the end of the season. wasnt it mentioned he's available somewhere recently? for them its one LD out and one in. pulkkinen is another finn. RW, which we could use, and has a dirty slap shot that id kill for and is playing well in the ahl.

id wait to see where we are at when deadline time rolls around. if we're pretty out of it by that point then we should just trade him when his value is still at the highest (the more time passes by the less valuable he becomes). he'd still have 1 more year left on contract which makes his value more than if we traded him same time next year.

so in other words, a 1st (which is wishful thinking if we get the other 2 players, but would be nice if we can somehow get it tacked on the deal), someone who can help fill the void left (nothing major, just someone who's playing in the league at least), and pulkkinen.

 

[GrumpyKelly]

the last thing we need is a prospect or a guy starting his career. I think there are enough of high end prospects on the team who are trying to learn the game.

 

[FrolikFan67]

i started a thread in the trade rumors section to see what wings fans would give up. just curious to hear from their fan base.

 

[SoupyFIN]

Woops, didn't realise how full this old thread was already before merging.

Onwards to Part 5.
