Proposal: Trade Rumors/Proposals 2019-2020 (Part 1)

[coladin]

Even if he does not play, at 700K he is easily worth that In the room with the kids

this would be a way to significantly improve the coaching in the room... worst management group in the league and could add a Spezza as a coach type

Maybe helps lead him into a second career and it would improve the image of the club tremendously is Spezza came back and became a face of that... maybe leads to an Alfredsson return one day

this club DESPERATELY needs good PR

I wouldn't call this good PR. It would be dumb and shortsighted.

It was like the Rough Riders bringing in Dexter Manley.

that’s your fault for thinking Spezza has no knowledge

I think he knows the game rather well

 

[BondraTime]

He’s forgotten more about the game than anyone in our roster knows. He’d be invaluable to guys like Brown, Tkachuk and Chabot.

He was voted most likely to be GM of a an NHL team by the players for a reason.

 

[MatchesMalone]

At this point a post from a random monkey is probably still better than your post.

What about a not random monkey? Like a monkey specifically trained to watch and post about hockey?

That isn't even up for debate. Where did I say he has no knowledge? He is washed up and bringing him back, wearing 19 will only set him up for failure. You want him behind the bench? I can live with that

 

[BonkTastic]

At this point Spezza is probably still better than any of our centers.

Doubtful.

I'm still on board for bringing him back if that's the main takeaway, but he's clearly in the "mentor" phase of his career. We have a couple of better/ more effective centers on the roster.

I'd certainly love seeing Spezza out there instead of Beaudin though, I'll tell you that much.

 

[Sens of Anarchy]

Would Petan need waivers to go back down at this point?

 

[Nac Mac Feegle]

The main concern with Spezza would be his mindset. Is he chasing a Cup? Is he 100% onboard with being on a young (losing) team to be a mentor? Is he just putting in the time?

The guy knows the league and all the intricacies of the center position and all of that....but it doesn't necessarily mean a lot if he was looking at "Ray Bourque-ing" the last year of his career to get a ring. The heart and mind has to be committed to the role of mentor, for it to work for him, the team and the kids. Considering he signed with Toronto, it kinda feels like he's hunting a Cup more than anything else. And I don't blame him...he really does need that extra bit of hardware if he wants to be a lock for the HHOF.

 

[GCK]

Would Petan need waivers to go back down at this point?

Already passed through I think.

 

[Sens of Anarchy]

Already passed through I think.

He did. I have not followed his callups, send downs=. On Sept 30 he was waived initially. Then called up, then sent down, now called up again.
"Once a player clears waivers, the team does not have to immediately reassign the player. However, once the player has played ten games or spent thirty days on an NHL roster, the waivers expire and the player will have to clear again before being loaned to another league."
Nic Petan is back on the NHL roster

If we are going to bring back a previous player I'd hope its Kyle Turris seems like he has fallen out of favour in Nashville

So If the Preds will retain 25% id make that trade

 

[NyQuil]

If we are going to bring back a previous player I'd hope its Kyle Turris seems like he has fallen out of favour in Nashville.

Still an awful long way to go in that contract, even at 75%.

no no no

Turris is done. Too old and slow. Maybe for under $2m, but his contract is almost as bad as Bobby Ryan's.

 

[Tkachuk27]

Only 4 years after this one bring him to 34 years old with retention possibly making less then 5.

Mentor role
Less then 5 is pretty cheap

 

[Tkachuk27]

no no no

Turris is done. Too old and slow. Maybe for under $2m, but his contract is almost as bad as Bobby Ryan's.

He's not and $ could be better with a retain % and "too old" he is younger than 5 or 6 of our current players...

 

[Ice-Tray]

I’m not getting a ‘mentor’ vibe when thinking about Turris. He doesn’t really have anything I value in terms of passing into the kids.

Not at all interested in having him back in any capacity really, and his wife enjoyed taking pot shots at the the team on social media pretty much closes the door on any of that anyways.

Not even slightly what we need around the kids.

 

[BonkTastic]

Turris certainly isn't worth his contract, but he'd be in our top-6 easily.

There's a difference between being worth less than your contract (which he certainly is) and being done as a player (which he definitely is not)

He's still a top-6 player on at least a third of the teams in this league. He seems to have rebounded pretty ok from his foot injuries. I'd love to bring him back if Nashville ate ~$2mil (ish)/year on that contract, which won't ever happen anyways due to Julie's twitter history and Melnyk still being here. Want nothing to do with him at his current salary, obviously.

 

[harrisb]

Julie Turris LOL, I would guarantee Kyle is on some kind of black list with the Euge

 

[HSF]

no to turris.....you dont need a 'mentor' for 4 more years

 

[Alex1234]

We need to help Detroit and Minni more then anything

 

[SensPerpetualRebuild]

I wouldn't want Spezza anywhere near our young players. He can't teach skill. He can only teach his bad habits IMHO.

 

[Qward]

Julie Turris LOL, I would guarantee Kyle is on some kind of black list with the Euge

This. As long as Melnyk is the owner Turris will never be back.

 

[Langdon Alger]

how about a monkey butler?

 

[MatchesMalone]

how about a monkey butler?

Could still be a random monkey. It has to be carefully chosen.

 

[Spartachat]

After you turn 35 your brain turns to mush everyone knows that.

Me over 35 and brain works super goodly.
