Speculation: Trade Ideas and Free Agency XVI

[Spurgeon]

****. I'd have tried to offer Dumba + 1st.

 

[Dr Jan Itor]

Done deal. Good hockey trade.

Jones straight up > Brodin straight up or Dumba+

Not sure what our chances actually were.

 

[TwiztedHeat]

Definitely not happy we couldn't beat that offer. CLB banking on Jones living up to potential.

 

[TheeNorthStar]

Dammit!!! I really wanted im here

Brodin > Jones imo

 

[Jesus comma Brodin]

 

[Fremitus Borealis]

Thanks, Fletch

I'm definitely in the minority, but I truly believe Brodin career>Jones career. Jones and Werenski will be a good pairing though.

Swear to god if Johansen gets back to being a #1C and we missed out on another one I'm just going to be gutted.

 

[NHL1674]

Sorry, I'm just not overly sold on Ryjo at this point.

I'm worried we will overpay for RNH. I'd be more gutted having to see Brodin in EDM than anything.

 

[Ban Hammered]

Thanks, Fletch

You're going to blame Fletcher? The price for us was likely to high to pay.

 

[elnewby]

Do what know the status of Koivu? Sorry if I missed something. I wonder if that would affect how hard we go after a Center. Not overly upset about losing out on RyJo. But, I liked him more than RNH. If we could get Couture I would be ecstatic.

 

[Loopy0ne]

I suspect that the central division will rue this day - ryjo played well this season until torts happened and he fits what the preds need like a glove.

Couture will cost Brodin++

If torts screwed him up that much, he's mentally weak. What I saw was a player who pouted and didn't try because he wanted out.

Not to mention the contract drama where things got way out of hand....I'm not saying he's a bad player or wouldn't help us greatly, but I can't help but see a red flag or two.

 

[Spurgeon]

RyJo is a 30 goal scoring 23 year old, 6'3'' center that has had past chemistry with Nino. We should have beat that offer.

Wonder if Dumba had a great game last night if Colombus would have made an inquiry.

 

[ClayAikenFan77]

Does the Johansen trade put any pressure on Fletcher to make a move?

Only if RyJo starts producing like crazy and we start losing.

torts managed to royally screw up entire teams... ryjo may be a bit immature, but, he is still only 23.

chemistry with nino? please tell, although, it is just salt in the wound at this point ryjo coyle nino line, sigh

No they still would have picked Jones most likely.

Where does he go from here?
Stammer is NOT going to be here. Its almost an automatic that he'll be in a leafs jersey next year.
Kopi is or has (?) resigned w/ LA..

Granny is NOT a #1c. Mikko is getting older. Coyle or Haula, nope.

RyJo, would've been the guy and the most possible to get. Now he's in a press uni. Idk where he goes from here.

I don't want no ****** Matt Moulson type deal for a "center" here... **** that.. Ill be pissed if he pulled off on of those kinds of trades.

The only other center that might be available is Ryan-Nugent Hopkins.

 

[Gundee1114]

Not happy at all, I wanted Johansen over anyone else. Dammit.
