I like Erikson way more than Ryan.

Sign me up.

It could work TBH both players are more than likely not going to finish those contracts anyhow....Ryan will be lucky if he can hold a pencil,if he takes another slash across the hands

 

[Langdon Alger]

If we trade Karlsson it has to be for futures because getting players back for meaningless wins is silly. High end picks and prospects only or younger players with potential. Keep our 2019 pick and move forward.

So getting back one of Theodore or Miller as part of the deal wouldn’t be a good idea?

What’s our blueline going to look like next year?

Ya it would be ok but it definitely better not be the centrepiece .

If we trade Karlsson and keep our 2019 pick i could care less who's on the blue line. Full tank mode please

 

[Cosmix]

Chabot - Dobson
Theodore - Ceci
Wolanin - Jaros

Even after trading the best D in the game - that's a gorgeous young D.

Well, it certainly won’t result in more shots against.

 

[SpezDispenser]

We need to trade Smith for a veteran defender. I believe this can happen - a money/cap in and out deal.

 

[Cosmix]

People need to start thinking about the cap floor before they cut Ryan, Gaborik, burrow and smith from the line up. That drops the current cap hit from 59 mil to approx 41 min. You must be giving Ceci one hell of a contract.

There is the buyout expense though.

 

[Cosmix]

Ek,s final number ,iam just guessing but i would rather talk about him resigning than him being moved

Talk is cheap but signing him certainly is not.

 

[Senovision]

Here's my dreamworld ( I know this would never happen)......Trade EK and Batherson to Carolina for Svechnikov. Give Carolina our 22nd pick this year. So we keep our 4th overall pick and get Dobson. Then offer a package of prospects to Buffalo to get Ryan O'Reilly. Buy out Gaborik.

Svechnikov Duchene Stone
Dzingel O'Reilly Ryan
Boedker Pageau

Dobson Chabot
Ceci

 

[Erik Alfredsson]

Why would we keep 4th overall if we trade Karlsson for the 2nd overall?

Wait, wait. You're suggesting Karlsson + Batherson + 22 for Svechnikov? Holy overpayment. Unless you meant Colorado with the 22, in which case we can't do that. It has to be Ottawa's pick, not just a pick Ottawa owns.

 

[Senovision]

I said I know this will never happen more of me dreaming. Ok could we trade Karlsson and get Svechnikov?

 

[Langdon Alger]

Only one problem with you plan. We are likely keeping the 4th overall pick.

 

[Senovision]

My biggest worry is that we do a trade with Vegas and we get lets say 3 players back that just had a one off good season with Vegas last year and these players then suck when they come here.

 

[DJB]

Only one problem with you plan. We are likely keeping the 4th overall pick.

And that's a mistake if we are dealing Karlsson. Surely by now Dorion has an answer to that question. Because if he doesnt then its time to trade him give the 4th to Colorado and move on

 

[TheBradyBunch]

Looks like the cap floor will be above 60m.

If we trade Karlsson + Ryan, we will be at ~45mil.

Stone + Ceci will probably cost us ~12mil.

 

[Sensinitis]

I like Erikson way more than Ryan.

Sign me up.

Makes 1.25M less than Bobby, same term, and is good buds with EK.

Make it happen.

 

[Boud]

I can't wait for July 1st. We're trading Ryan to Vancouver for Eriksson.

Not only does Loui fit the team chemistry better on and off ice, but his contract is down right stupid. 6 million dollar cap hit, 1 and 2 million dollars actuall salary.

Contracts like Loui's and Boedker's are going to help us to pony up for Stone, EK and Duchene (later Chabot and #4).

I'm not sure if I would do this trade but I also wouldn't be opposed to it. I think Ryan is a better player than Eriksson when he's on his game and healthy. (When they both are healthy and rolling I should say) I really hate Ryan, but I legitimately think he's better than Eriksson even if it's not by a big margin. Ryan has that extra gear in him when he's on and he can be the best player in a certain game but Eriksson doesn't have that. I guess the way I would put it is when Ryan plays with confidence he's easily better than Eriksson but that happens only in short spurts or rarely ever happens. Ryan also plays a lot better against western conference teams and would be a good fit for Vancouver following that logic. Vancouver has been extremely bad in the last two seasons, Eriksson would likely play better with a Duchene/ Stone than he did with pre-retirement Sedins and Horvat IMO.


Eriksson is injured just as much as Ryan and they provide similar production so the value is similar.

Ultimately that saves us a bit of money and we don't really downgrade much. Eriksson could surprise and rebound with us and Ryan would be a better fit for Van.

It's a type of deal where it's not like we gain much, but we don't give up much either so .. why not go for the change of scenery I guess but for anyone thinking we'd be better because of it.... well that's not likely to happen.

Smith for Michael Stone

 

[SpezDispenser]

Smith for Michael Stone

The Stone brothers united, sign me up!

 

[Hale The Villain]

Smith for Michael Stone

This would be a great trade for both teams.

Even if Michael was a terrible hockey player, I'd do it just to make Mark happy and hopefully convince him to sign an 8YR deal with us.

 

[Do Make Say Think]

Id do that trade for the contracts and slight savings, but prefer Ryan as a player.

Especially on this team.

Not sure Eriksson would be able to play in Ryan's current role and be effective.

That being said. Ryan often doesn't play his role because he's injured

Lol Yes Eriksson definitely has the leg up health wise. I assume he skates better than Bobby as well, but I haven't watched him play since he was in Boston

Not a bad idea. Any defenders come to mind?

 

[Langdon Alger]

Smith for Michael Stone

Rather get a third in this year’s draft, but if not, this is an ok plan b.
