The Official Horrible Trade Proposals Thread Part 4: Shots, Shots, Shots, Shots, Shots EVERYBODY!!!

[A Star is Burns]

Our defense does feel pretty mediocre at best offensively right now, especially with the two biggest offensive weapons back there not producing much. I didn't read those threads, so I can't speak to them, but that is what usually gets the headlines among people from other teams that don't watch us.

 

[SaskCanesFan]

Went to the LA board to ask about Carter's value, and there's a thread where they are, not exactly thrilled with the guy lately. Slow to recover from injury, playing without passion, and his numbers even strength look terrible. I don't watch any of LA, but if what they say is true, I don't really want to invest in that 34 year old personally

Trying to talk to Leafs fans about Pesce's value as a defenseman is like trying to talk to a baby about Quantum Physics. He doesn't put up 100 points so he's not worth anything obviously...only Pesce ++ gets a sniff at Nylander, probably need at least one + to get Kappi

Usually while criticizing us for always overvaluing our own players in the same post.

I have a good number of Leaf and Oil fans on ignore. Makes me and tb more enjoyable.

So there’s got to be a decent 3rd line center we could get for a pick or meh prospect, right? Is it really that hard to find something better than rask, wallmark, or Bishop?

That's why I like Toffoli. Scorer who seems a little better than Rask and definitely better than stone hands Staal.

More of a 2 or 3c though.

Ferland Aho TT
Svech Toffoli Williams
McGinn Rask ??
Martinook Wallmark ??

By better I mean as a shooter.

Has't he always been used as a winger in LA? Like Skinner being listed as a center, but not really a center.

Doesn’t toffoli play wing?

 

[Stickpucker]

I thought he spent some time at center could easily be wrong

Toffoli Rask Svech?? Scoring line.

He's a right wing according to LA's page. Probably not the guy we need. LW or center should be our target.

Ferland-Aho-Turbo
Toffoli-Rask/Carter-Svech
McGinn-JoStaal-Willy
Martinook-Walmart/Bishop-PDG
(Send McLovin back down)

Certainly better than our current lineup, seems a bit more threatening at least. Only play McG-StoneHands-JWilly as defensive matchup line (instead of offensive/Pp/"scoring")

 

[Stickpucker]

Then swap Svech and Toffoli s wings. Would be nice to put Svech with a couple guys who can shoot.

No doubt if we could get him for cheap, it’d be nice to be on the other side of a possible skinner trade.

Sure, in a perfect world he can switch sides without missing a beat. But in the real world, a rookie that is still acclimating to the game should not be asked to play the "other" side just yet. Add to that we have a bunch more RW on the roster or in the minors (TT, Williams, Gauthier, Necas) adding him just creates more of a glut on one side of the ice. There will be other wingers available that are LW if we don't jump the gun now. We should wait.

I agree. The Canes really need a shooting/scoring LW to play with Svechnikov both this year and for the future--unless Svechnikov kills it playing LW tonight. I know we disagreed earlier, but that is why I like Saad. An even more enticing opition is Schenn--posters here are often way off base, but if STL is willing to move him, the Canes need to give it a serious offer. If the Canes are still in playoff hunt in late January, Nyquist would be a good rental.

The problem is that there aren't that many offensively-productive LWs on teams that would move them.

I'd love Schenn and Nyquist could be a good add as well, though the UFA status makes me nervous about that. I'd be willing to do Saad as well, but that would have to be for a bargain price, not a Faulk or Pesce price. And absolutely no 1st.

NEw proposal on the main board states Fox won't sign here

Nyquist is a less selfish (with the puck) / less skilled skinner. Plays a more responsible defensive game but doesn't have Skinners stick skills. Hes hot right now so his value isn't at its highest. My guess is the wings are looking for a Tatar type deal (1st +) with this much time left in the season so it's best to wait for him to cool off

I enjoyed your response.

 

[Brock Anton]

Fox already wouldn't sign in Calgary, but he's totally 100% going to sign in Vancouver.

This is the internet. Facts don't matter when you want something.

Svech is a RW, let him play there.

 

[Flyers Faithful]

Flyers fan here, how’s Justin Faulk been this year? Is he still someone you guys would be willing to part with?

Good and yes.
