The leafs get

10
8

Edmonton gets
Seabrook @50%
Sparks

Chicago gets
Talbot

LOL and fans call Chia an idiot

 

[WesMcCauley]

He traded nothing for Zack Kassian, and he has become an important role player for the Oilers. He traded nothing for Cam Talbot, and he was great two years ago and solid to finish off the season, despite being horrible before Christmas this year. Schultz was okay because everyone thought nobody would give us anything for him.

He traded a 2nd+3rd+7th for Talbot+7th. Thats not nothing, thats a 2nd and a 3rd rounder. Pretty fair deal imo both then and now.
Kassian for Ben Schrivens lol... Sure Edm won that trade but its a depth move and Kassian is a bottom 6 player at best who hits and runs around like a crazy man. They are far from damn good trades that you said he had made.

Lol, you call those great trades? The one good trade he has made was the Talbot trade. I won't even go into detail about the terrible signings he has made in free agency such as Lucic, and Sekera. Wow oiler fans are really grasping at straws trying to defend their terrible GM

No, that's not what I wrote.
You asked for "good" trades and I answered with Talbot. Maroon and Kassian "weren't bad either". That's literally what I wrote, nothing more.
"LOL"

Love or hate Chiarelli it is absurd to deny the success of the trades which acquired Maroon and Kassian. Both played crucial roles in the 2016-2017 season while Maroon established himself as a top 6 NHL forward.

Sparks is worth talbot and 10

Seabrook @50% + is worth talbot

They are good trades. Depth pieces for a starting goalie and a guy who has become a key player in our organization. He also got Maroon at 50% for a 4th rounder. Maroon has since established himself as a middle six winger, if not moreso. I never said Chiarelli doesn't have bad trades, he absolutely does, but people act like he's Mike Milbury here.

The fact that the Fourth Period is the only outlet peddling this rumour leads me to believe it's bogus.

But I'll give them credit that it makes some sense considering Talbot either gets paid or gets purged after this season. And with younger, less developed 'starting' goaltenders on the market in FA like Mrazek, Grubauer, Lehner, etc, it's not completely impossible they'd consider that option since their payroll is a little tight.

That being said, moving Talbot may not be the most popular idea in the locker room considering how much the team has relied on him the past two seasons.

 

[Sniper99]

Maroon for nothing. Talbot for nothing. Kassian for nothing.

not exactly "Damn Good Trades"

 

[THall4]

Its probably already been mentioned...but both Ryan Rishaug and Bob Stauffer squashed this "rumour"

 

[Tobias Kahun]

getting Talbot for picks was the only good one I can think of off top of my head... every other move has been horrendous. Even many moves in Boston were headscratchers

Patrick maroon for a 4th, Kassian got scrivens

 

[Tobias Kahun]

not exactly "Damn Good Trades"

A 27 goal scorer for near nothing is a damn good trade

 

[Romang67]

That'd be dumb and a half.

So you guys think Sparks is 1st ballot hall of famer?

You said he had made some garbage trades and some damn good ones. I wouldnt call any of those trades damn good ones.... They are decent-good trades. If Kassian is a key player in your organization no wonder why Edm struggle...
Chia isnt that far from Milbury imo.... Look at all the guys he has traded away that i listed earlier and what he has gotten in return for them, its laughable how bad the total return is for all of those guys he has traded away.

 

[McFlyingV]

Pagnotta is not a real source, and lol at some of the trade proposals in this thread. What an atrocity this thread is.

 

[Tkachuckycheese]

This should probably be locked.

Getting solid roster players who are a key part of a team (Kassian was a huge part of Edmonton making the 2nd round last year) for mid round picks are damn good trades in my opinion.
