Confirmed with Link: [TOR/CGY] Andrew Nielsen for Morgan Klimchuk

[Suntouchable13]

Wow, 5 pages for this trade?

 

[GoonieFace]

Looks like all but guarantees Nylander will not be back with the Leafs. Klimchuk is a stud.

Why and how would any one equate Klimchuk, someone that can barely get 40 points in the AHL, to William Nylander and his status with the Leafs?

What in the world...

You're joking, right?

I will give you a pass on this one, but it was obviously a joke.

 

[GoonieFace]

I sure hope so. I thought it was obvious, but I guess not.

 

[LeafGrief]

We got a bag of pucks with different labels!

Alright...

We've read pretty dumb things around here so the sarcasm meter might have been off I guess.

 

[Mugzy97]

I'm fine with the trade, our LD depth is too good for Nielsen and our LW depth isn't very good. Klimchuk was a high pick so there must be some potential in there, and it could possibly turn out to be a Hyman for McKegg type deal. If not, no big deal.

He also played with Adam Brooks for a couple years so maybe he'll feel more welcome coming in

SCOUTING REPORT

Assets:	A smart player with great quickness, he has two-way acumen and plenty of scoring upside. Sees the ice well and displays sound hockey sense. Works very hard to improve his overall game.
Flaws:	Does not have ideal size for the National Hockey League game, so he needs to continue to pack on the bulk and get stronger. He is more quick than fast in terms of his skating ability.
Career Potential:	Sound two-way forward with a little upside.

Maybe he means Kimchuck slays at the Calgary bars?

Half a point per game player at the AHL level is barely an AHLer.

 

[Damisoph]

Nielsen fell way down the depth chart after that solid season two years ago. I wouldn’t be surprised if Nielsen’s agent asked for a trade.

 

[Zizzzzy]

Sounds like a perfect player development project. Former 1st rounder still looking to find his way....

 

[Damisoph]

Just be patient. A couple more years and Calgary might be able to compete against the big boys.

The guy was just coming in to talk about our new acquisition, no need to be a jackass

 

[thewave]

We won. Guy that can't skate for guy that can.

 

[Trapper]

A new start for both players.
Not every organization is built the same way.
Some teams like to build heavier, some quicker.
I always like to be a skating team. If you get heavy in that great, but that wasn't Neilsen.

He is the same height but a little less weight than Nylander and is bigger than Marner

It;s not a bad thing to be speedy and big.

It's from The Hockey News

ok? it says he doesn't have ideal size. I actually believe that may be spot on average NHL size 6' ~190. How many speedy big players are there not many who have NHL level skills too.

 

[Rhynne]

How are we going to make the Nielson, Brown and a 2nd blockbuster now?

Marty St.Louis 2.0!

Will Calgary ever learn?

Unfortunately Morgan doesn't have a scoring touch

TBH 190 lbs is not a big guy, I'm 210lbs and I'm pretty lean.

At any rate if you can have size, speed and skill that is never a bad thing. I think he checks off 1 of the 3 boxes.
