@steffeG: Big whoop about Rundblad story but agent merely states there's an interest from Russia, player wants to be in the NHL. Politics.

 

[Marty Straka]

probably just a negotiating ploy to get Phoenix to pony up some dough.

 

[Do Make Say Think]

Rundlbad's Agent: "Mr Maloney I would like to introduce to you leverage"

 

[Sun God Nika]

just sign the kid on a 1 way contract and let him develope as a 7th D, its not hard phoenix

 

[HavlatMach9]

Should be able to get a one way contract. He's been developing well there.

 

[Benjamin]

Dont blame him. He should be in the NHL.

I can't blame him one bit.

 

[Qward]

I would still bring him back.

 

[Benjamin]

I lol'd

 

[Vaclav Varada]

Probably just trying to get traded to a team where he'll play in the NHL no matter what.

 

[MainDotC]

Send a couple of prospects to Phoenix for Rundblad. Good replacement for Gonchar.

Call me crazy, but I still think he can be a really good offensive defenceman in the NHL.

He will most likely always make stupid decisions, both offensively and defensively. He will always be a risk-taking player. Not all good given the fact that he's....a defenceman.

hes got way to much pure skill to not have an impact offensively. He needs to develop on the 3rd pairing and be eased in into playing against better and better players.

If handled right im sure he will become one of the premier offensive d men in the league.

 

[Qward]

Put Cowen with Karlsson and have Methot keep defensive tabs on Rundblad.

Phillips and Gryba filling out the D.

 

[Vaclav Varada]

Puempel and Da Costa. DO IT GMDM

Puempel and Da Costa. DO IT GMDM

He could be had for less Phoenix have great depth a D. Da Costa + Prince + 4th

2010 - Ottawa trades #16 for David Rundblad
2013 - Ottawa trades #17 for David Rundblad?

 

[neutral zone trap13]

I would definitely trade the 17th for him!

 

[Vaclav Varada]

2010 - Ottawa trades #16 for David Rundblad
2013 - Ottawa trades #17 for David Rundblad?

I'd probably do it too lol

 

[Pavlikovsky]

He isn't worth a 1st round pick anymore

When it's all said and done, it would be as such.

Rundblad + Turris

for

2013 1st round pick (17th) + Anthony Stolarz

I'd be perfectly fine with that.

He isn't worth a 1st round pick anymore

Highly touted offensive defenceman who hasn't been given a fair shake in the NHL and would replace Gonchar immediately isn't enough for the 17th overall pick? A kid we won't see make an impact for probably 3-4 years?

No. Give me Rundblad back for that 17th. That would be fantastic asset management by GMBM.
