Proposal: Trade Proposal Thread XXII

[Runner77]

I think youre likely right tbh. It doesnt seem realistic.

The only real shift toward the hope of landing an impact player is whether MB signals a change in his philosophy of not wanting to sacrifice a major piece. We’ve seen him being gun shy and always claiming that the price to pay is too high. Its one thing if it’s too high, it’s another if he’s not willing to give to get.

I'm not basing this on anything but my impressions from what I've read, but I think he's just been gun shy. And that's a significant problem right now. He had to be agressive when the team had two of the premiere players in the league, yet he wasnt. But now that we're one injury or one year away from Weber/Price declining and falling into bottom feeder status, it's anything but time to force a window thats not there. If he goes in that direction, I hope we at least go all in and not half ass it as he did following the Drouin trade.

I’m still keeping tabs on when you’ll be changing back your avy. I understand you’ll do it as soon as MB is gone.

You know it. Actually just found the original drawing when emptying my storage locker last week. So I'm ready.

Rather keep our no1 defenseman

tell me.

I think now is the right time to move Petry. His value will never be higher. He doesn't fit the long term outlook imo.

The fact that fans have no idea if we should sell every vet or go all in to the extent we're seeing on this board speaks volume to the general lack of direction from this management group I find.

Heponiemi is fantastic id love to get him do you think florida would part with him for Petry i think theyd offer other pieces in the event they wanted petry

 

[Rapala]

Brodin and Murray would be great. Not willing to part with Romanov, Brooks, Suzuki, Caufield or Poehling though for that quality of player. If we're trading them, we need to acquire an impact player.

Here is the thing. Your definition, my definition, or anyone else's definition of an impact player may differ vastly from our GM. He may land us another good "room player" instead of one who can make noise on the ice.

What about posters not understanding how NHL teams can be managed ?

What about believing in professionals simply because they are professionals not because they show actual ability to do their jobs

I wouldn't sell every vet. Petry seems like the right type of high value guy to capitalize on at this point in his career. His loss would be felt, but I think this team could re-tool with younger pieces and be better for it long term.

 

[Andrei79]

I'm not sure what your point is here.

If you believe posters don't understand how NHL teams are managed, then your own post here invalidates itself. You wouldn't know either, so how could you judge the value of what anyone says or even comment on any of it. That would imply you did understand... Which would imply others could as well.

So, why don't we agree to drop this kind of garbage and share opinions on an opinion board.

 

[Vachon23]

Do we have any rumors regarding Lindholm or Murray? Maybe it’s just fan speculation at this point.

There is no chance that the Ducks trade Lindholm.

 

[Mrb1p]

The discussion was about tanking into that 3-10 pick range as we aren’t going to be sniffing a #1 overall without trading our whole team like Price, Domi, Gallagher etc.

I’d rather just draft well picking later than tank and pick 5th. There usually isn’t much difference between those picks anyway.

Yeah right who would want to draft Turcotte, Dach, Byram, Tkachuk, Hughes, Boqvist, Peterson, Heiskanen, Marner, Makar, Dubois, Tkachuk, Keller, Draisaitl, Jones, Monahan, Rielly, Lindholm, Scheifele, Couturier, Zibanejad, Johansen...

Totally the same

While we've got a GM who doesn't understand how to manage an NHL team, uninformed posters is the least of our concerns!

I mean he's not wrong. If you can't draft great players outside the first round you aren't going to be successful.

Heponiemi is too small. Id rather get Borgstrom, Noel, Gildon or Kolyonochok

We need to be in on every GM's conversations and have all NHL contracts at our fingertips, otherwise, we're all useless! Didn't you know?

 

[Mrb1p]

Is that his point though? He said theres no difference between 5 and later in the first.

 

[The Great Weal]

I want a top prospect+1st for Petry to even get the conversation started. Although we should trade him now, we have a shit ton of time to trade him when he has great value.

 

[The Great Weal]

Is that his point though? He said theres no difference between 5 and later in the first.

I understood it as not needing super high picks to be successful.

 

[Mrb1p]

Sure helps

 

[Beendair Donedat]

I doubt Petry ever gets moved, him and Price are very close, and their wives are tight as well.... I don’t see Pricer signing off on that deal and Bargain Bin would never go against Price.
