Value of: Ian Cole to your team.

[HarrisonFord]

Leafs don’t need Cole. We have enough bottom pairing defencemen as it is

 

[Neiler]

Polak+2nd

No to Polak. Just the 2nd, you can figure out what to do with Polak yourself.

 

[The Zetterberg Era]

Absolutely not. Trying to get Hoffman on the low huh...

I don't see how that was an insulting offer at all.

I know Jenner has fallen on hard times, but he did score 30 goals in this league, plays a rugged game and is dripping with leadership qualities. Especially given some of the dysfunction we are hearing about in Ottawa he would be a big add in my opinion. Two very good young forwards in addition and a first. Seems like a pretty fair offer for Hoffman and Cole. I know people want a homerun but there is no reason to really believe that is coming. If the Blues or one of the other teams with a very deep farm doesn't come calling this offer could very well be the best one you get.

I like Hoffman a lot, great skater with a top 5 release in the league. However, the same reasons why he is available and never been truly embraced by Ottawa management and coaches are likely to impact his value league wide. He isn't a 200 foot player and goes through noticeable dips in his play. That isn't to say he doesn't have a ton of value, but just I don't think he is a kings ransom kind of player. I doubt he is moved for the return a lot of people keep throwing out.

He'll be dealt for a 7th. #MelnykFactor

Is he going to be a player or our owner?

 

[AustonsNostrils]

He's worth a late 2nd rounder to a team with hopes of a deep run in the playoffs. So Ottawa would end up with a late 1st rounder, late 2nd rounder and a top goaltending prospect for Brassard - not terrible.

 

[Liferleafer]

No to Polak. Just the 2nd, you can figure out what to do with Polak yourself.

Meh...need the roster spot.

 

[OCPenguin]

A lot of people are under valuing Ian's play here. A guy who played pretty significant minutes and well in the last two play-offs to help guide them to back to back titles. If we didn't have him, we don't win either. I'm laughing at the Sbisa comment. Cole is a lot better than him.

 

[Yashole]

To Columbus:
Ian Cole and Zack Smith

To Ottawa:
1st 2018

 

[Daeni10]

Wanna trade us Cole back for a 2nd?

 

[Boud]

Hoffman + Cole

for

Jenner + Milano + Motte + '19 1st Rd Pick

No.

 

[hangman005]

Vegas gives Reaves... even if you don’t want to swap him for Cole you can have him...

 

[Number1RedWingsFan52]

Twitter was saying that Ian Cole is probably dealt to a team out of the Metro, But as of now it's not known who that team might be.

 

[MrBrightside]

Pretty sure he'd be the 2nd or 3rd best defenseman on the Islanders. They'd be crazy not to try.

 

[robsenz]

To Columbus:
Ian Cole and Zack Smith

To Ottawa:
1st 2018

I'd take that and run

Polak+2nd

gonna offer the exact same thing

 

[rent free]

No to Polak. Just the 2nd, you can figure out what to do with Polak yourself.

he won't get a 2nd on his own.

 

[DJB]

Bob said probably a 2nd

 

[Luigi Lemieux]

I think we got Hal Gill for a 2nd and a 5th back in 2008. Ian Cole is definitely worth a 2nd, guy is a playoff beast. Only downside to the Brassard trade is losing Cole.

 

[Scrantonicity 2]

Ian Cole isn't very good. I could see LA picking him up.

 

[Instincts]

Cole and salary dump to Vegas for a 4-th rounder they got from PP
Cole (100% retained ) and Reaves (100% retained) to PP for 5-th rounder

 

[Golden_Jet]

he won't get a 2nd on his own.

Bob McKenzie said probably a second and he usually avoids commenting on those things.

 

[Langdon Alger]

he won't get a 2nd on his own.

If Dominic Moore can land a 2nd anything is possible.

 

[Bjornar Moxnes]

Hoffman + Cole

for

Jenner + Milano + Motte + '19 1st Rd Pick

Ottawa has no real use for Jenner or Milano.

 

[David Dennison]

St. Louis will give Allen.

No, Bortuzzo.
