Speculation: Rumors, Speculation, and Armchair GM talk - XV

[GAMO1992]

Other one was close enough to 1K.

Dreger is suggesting the Jets are looking for a top 6 winger and may be willing to part with Enstrom. So let's make a deal

to Jets:
- Jiri Hudler
- Dennis Wideman
to Flames:
- Tobias Entrom
- 1st in 2016

GAMO may have jumped the gun, but we got here at last.

 

[Flames Fanatic]

Enstrom is an awesome player, but with his injury history and age I'm not sure he's a good fit.

Unless we are in fact getting him for 100TG's proposal. Then yeah, **** it. Decent chance that 1st adds to our chances of a top 3 pick. Or a SECOND top three pick!!!

Edit: At the time of my posting Anglesmith forgot to bring the posts from the other thread lol.

100TG's proposal was:

Wideman
Hudler

for

Enstrom
1st

The rumor that last year's team had a bunch of career seasons is rearing its ugly head so hard right now.

not really. the problem is defense/goaltneding

When your rebuilding and have an incomplete roster like the flames you look for guys that might just need an opportunity. Think late developing guys like moulson, pominville and parenteau who had some strong years in the right place.

I've always been intrigued by Emerson Etem. It seems he's always been on a contender with strong top 6 forwards so tough for him to break in.

Currently this year he's only played 7 games averaging 11 minutes so definitely a guy that could be plucked from a contender like the rangers.

He could gel with guys like Bennett or gaudreau.

Etem has played 12 games

edit: NHL.com says 7, hockeydb shows 12, you appear to be correct

 

[Johnny Hoxville]

Maybe Etem for a guy like Shore?

With how Shore is playing right now, I'd rather call him up and give him a chance. He's been Stockton's best player the last 2 games and been in beast in all facets of the game.

That is great to hear!

He has really stepped up with Arnold out of the lineup. It's only 2 games but in those 2 games he has 1G, 2A, 13 SOG, +2, 33/49 on FO. He's been the go to guy for sure.

Why would Winnipeg need another RHD?



2 Rival teams, have had "internal disccussions"

Maybe Treliving's trying to run up the price for the Oil?

Islanders trying to trade Hamonic:



And apparently the Sens are really interested in Trevor Daley.

 

[Anglesmith]

Holy cow, I would love Hamonic. I've been very impressed with him every time I've watched him this season. I think he'd be an upgrade on Wideman. Only question is how we'd make it work. They're probably looking to move him for salary reasons, but if we take him we'd need to deal with that on our end, too.

 

[Tofveve]

Russell?

Not to mention Gio having a career year before injury. Bouma. First line. Brodie and Gaudreau are about the only ones playing like they were last year. Monahan's getting there. Thank goodness Jones is playing well.

 

[DCDM]

Russell for Hamonic?

Actually that wouldn't be that terrible a trade, honestly.

EDIT: basis for a trade, not straight up... before i get slayed for this post lol

 

[Johnny GODreau]

Hudler @50% + Wideman (7.25m) for Hamonic and cap?

 

[Pirate King Luffy]

Russell for Hamonic?

That would be bad trade for the Islanders. We take it and kick Garth Snow while he's down.

 

[Anglesmith]

Being serious here.... Giordano for Hamonic? Not trying to be sensationalist or anything, but if you strip away the immediate shock that this would be, would it make sense for both parties? The one big knock on moving Giordano is obviously what he brings to the team as a leader, but it seems as though Hamonic is the type of guy who can replace that.

Islanders want a similar-level player, and are in their window right now. Hence Gio.

Flames might be feeling a little worried about Gio's level of play, and Hamonic fits their rebuild perhaps better.

I'd entertain it. Flames get a guy who grows with the core in Hamonic, Isles get a guy who can potentially put them over the top.

Damn, was ninja'd before I could get in my ninja edit.

 

[Anglesmith]

I don't know if Gio can be traded, though. Don't know the details of his contract. Would probably be frowned upon if he did, regardless, given he just signed a big deal to be the captain here for 5 years (and it hasn't even started yet).

 

[Johnny GODreau]

This would've been Darryl Sutter's MO. "Bring him home"



Russell/Wideman+ Huds+2nd for Hamonic and capdump.

Isles probably would want an extension from both Huds and Russell however.

 

[Taranis]

Interesting, specifies western Canada.

Oh man please.

And if not us, then not Edmonton either.
