Speculation: Three Wings scouts at CGY/COL

[newfy]

AA for Brodie, waives mod. NTC & extended @ $4.9x5yrs...probably too old for us, but I'd do that. Cholo can go back to GR & learn defense, pair him w/Seider.

DDK-Hronek
Brodie-Green (Seider after TDL)
Nemeth-Wrath

Cholo-GR/1st callup

I dont think he waives his NTC for Detroit and I think he would test the open market before signing an extension.

i was wrongly terming rasmus and kylington prospects , dont know status of kalimaki . just knew that flames were deep at d prospects last year . and if moving say a rasmus it might help in the expansion draft . though im not sure how these 3 guys are currently ranked

Yeah the guys that make sense from Calgary are Andersson, Valimaki and Kylington. I would rank them in that order as far as trade value goes. I dont think Kylington is enough for AA, not sure what the value for Valimaki would be wit his injury and stuff and I dont think they would wanna move Andersson. I wonder what Colorado would have available for a trade.

Does seem weird Detroit would have 3 scouts at this game considering they dont play anytime soon unless theyre talking about a trade.

 

[MBH]

There's also that center luxury, so good trade partner for us.

I don't think they have a center luxury, really.

say yzerman likes andersson big time . and flames want aa . we could add a decent temporary replacement for andersson like dekeyser or nemeth which helps keep their playoff hopes . then we also add a future such as maybe zadina . and if they dont want a d back maybe glenny to boost playoff run . ends up theyve got future years in aa and zadina plus better today . plus maybe by playoffs zadinas up .

 

[Oddbob]

Rumor has it that MacKinnon is unhappy and wants to play with Filppula and Glendenning.

I have it on record that he let it be known that he can turn Frans Nielsen into a 25 goal guy by himself and really likes what Frans brings to the table.

 

[Oddbob]

On a more serious note, I think this is nothing at least in regards for the Wings, as pro scouts are at every NHL game.

I think in this case its more the amount and the who that is noteworthy.

Who, as in teams or particular level of scouts/asst GM types?

 

[lilidk]

Dube for AA

More likely: something else.

Tomorrow we will know

 

[Shaman464]

Who, as in teams or particular level of scouts/asst GM types?

Yeah, and the teams themselves. Usually when you have multiple high level scouts at game it means one of the teams posted a player on the trade board and teams are looking

 

[GBFP]

Yzerman's MO is to acquire a struggling former highly thought of prospect buried on a good team's depth chart. Kylington fits that description.

Might be another reason why they waived Bowey.

 

[raymond23]

Cholowski for Kylington?

 

[Hatter of the Beach]

I’d like to see

AA

for

Dube
Frolik as a cap dump

Wings get a solid young player for a guy who probably wasn’t happy here anyways. Flames get cap space to move in for Hall and a player that can plug in right now for some secondary scoring, rather than a future

 

[Mister Ed]

With Bowey being waived, it might indicate a move incoming (or maybe it was just because he is gawdawful at playing D).

Kylington (CGY) and Zadorov (COL) - my pick - would be awesome and would bring some much needed change to the D corps.

Next year it could be :

Dekeyser- Hronek
Zadorov - Nemeth
Cholowski - Seider/Lindstrom

I've been interested in Zadorov for a while, not sure if the Avs would be into a trade featuring AA.

If they swing and miss on Hall, AA might be a decent consolation prize.

 

[MBH]

I've liked Zadorov since his Buffalo days
Can't see why Colorado would move him.
They've got a lot of smurfy D. They could use some big guys.

 

[ShelbyZ]

Nielsen for Lucic

 

[newfy]

I think in this case its more the amount and the who that is noteworthy.

Definitely. And the wings dont have pro scouts at every single game on any given night either. If either of these teams were on the upcoming schedule it would make sense but generally teams only scout teams theyre playing soon or theyre scouting potential trades. 3 at one game with no game coming up? A possible trade going on

 

[Henkka]

AA for Dube+Frolik as a cap dump

That's the same I was thinkin too.

Crazy trade, but so was Fabbri <> DLR and nobody believed that kind of could happen.

Is Dube that good? Kinda unproven to me, the risk is certainly on our side, not to mention the negative equity cap dump Frolik.

 

[Ricelund]

Come to think of it, has one of these reports about scouts being in attendance at a particular game ever actually resulted in a trade in the next few days?

Maybe I was in the dark but I didn't see a single rumor surrounding any of Yzermans trades so far with Detroit.
Not even a hint that maybe Detroit was looking to do something. (correct me if I'm wrong)

I think the scout thing here is grasping at straws.

 

[ShelbyZ]

Could've been $1 hot dog night at Pepsi Center and Larry Murphy borrowed 3 scout credentials to take advantage with a couple buddies for all we know...

 

[ArmChairGM89]

Long time lurker (I’m talking Every day for years) finally decided to make an account.

I think this is a little bit of wishful thinking. We’re all just looking for something interesting to get excited about.

Scouts attending a game means next to nothing, in my opinion. If a GM wants to trade for a guy, one in-person viewing should have zero impact on that stance. If they got a hat trick or got caved in, it’s one game. So, what does that have to do with a trade happening or not happening? Being there wouldn’t impact their opinion either way. Or, at least it shouldn’t.

hope I’m wrong though. These deals are keeping me going haha
