Rumor: Trade Rumors/Proposals/Free Agents 2017-2018

[Engineer]

You assume making big trades is easy.

You are out of touch with reality.

You've deluded yourself into thinking us not gunning for Tavares is acceptable. And you're arguing for the sake of arguing.

 

[Zorf]

He held out to get an extreme overpayment and with three years on Duchenes contract remaining at time of trade request. You act like Duchene has no trade value which is laughable

Holy ****, which is part of the reason our team is pathetic in both ownership and management which in turn is why it is pathetic we cannot even bother to play ball with the best UFA in the cap era. You guys realize when you say this stuff you are agreeing with me, right?

YOUR ENTIRE ARGUMENT IS BASED ON AN ASSUMPTION!

How do you not realize this?

 

[Engineer]

Your argument boils down to "It has to be true because no one has said otherwise." That's incredibly weak. And trading Duchene doesn't happen in a vacuum. It's not as easy as snapping your fingers and having the trade genie come down from on high. Playing musical chairs with star players is how an already terrible team reputation gets worse.

What's incredibly weak is your inability to read inbetween the lines. Garrioch mentioned during Stamkos UFA meetings that Ottawa was going to pitch playing with Karlsson to him. Where have those similar posts been for Tavares? Crickets.

Did I ever claim it would be easy? Stop putting words in my f***ing mouth. A GMs job isn't supposed to be easy.

Now I'm not sure what's more pathetic, our management's ineptitude or people like you who are content with our managements ineptitude.

If anything, I'd say I've been one of the most vocal critics of the management on these boards recently. So the bolded is extremely funny to me. Difference is, I'm critical about things that have a foot in reality, not baseless conjecture.

BUT YOURS IS MORE ASSUMPTIONY THAN MOST ASSUMPTIONS ON THE ASSUMPTIONOGRAPHIC SCALE OF ASSUMING ASSUMPTIONS.

But seriously, Tavares isn't coming here.

You posting in this thread is factually indicative that you do part take in discussions on baseless conjecture. That's literally what this thread is for.

I know he isn't, I can understand that reality.

That wasn't the reason for my original post, though.

 

[Zorf]

Besides, we're supposed to be laughing at Montreal as a coping mechanism to keep us from crying at the state of our team and out petulant little turd of an owner

Please re-read my post: I didn't say I don't discuss baseless conjecture. I said I don't get critical about it.

@Zorf @dzingelalltheway @Do Make Say Think

I think we all just misunderstood eachother and got a little carried away here. I'm not deluded enough to think we ever had a real shot at Tavares, that wasn't what I meant to imply.

Let's all move on, shall we?

 

[Zorf]

@Engineer
Its all good. I'm sending you a bro hug through my screen. I bet you can feel the vibes right now.

We're vibing. Mmmmmm. Tingly

 

[Hale The Villain]

LA isn't going to qualify Rieder. Decent bottom 6 winger.

He'd be a good buy-low pickup in free agency. Still young at 25.

 

[HavlatMach9]

Maybe Tavares' camp shut down our interest real quick while Stamkos' was willing to hear more. We don't have a top C signed long-term, I'm sure we inquired.

Oh, that feels nice, full bro hug right back at ya

 

[HSF]

We don't know who Ottawa has reached out to. I'm sure they have reached out to some free agents

 

[Zorf]

Also, with Dorion on a full blown "locker room character" binge, I don't think he'd want to trade Duchene. By all accounts, Duchene is all-in with this team. Gotta keep the guys who want to be here. Especially those in a leadership role.

 

[stempniaksen]

Eric O'Dell still kicking around?

 

[HSF]

It seems like the Sens are on a news lockdown seems like nothing has been leaked since the whole Hoffman and Karlsson fiasco. Even that we were picking Brady it seemed like insiders were hinting at zadina. We also haven't heard much on Karlsson. Even nothing on Anderson which everyone seems to be denying

Sens interviewed Kotkaniemi a few times as well which was a play with Montreal to get them not to trade down and take him to free up Tkachuk. [This is an assumption of mine]

With it being a basically one man show with Dorion now, you'd think leaks would be hard to come by unless he wants it to come out or it comes from the other side in a negotiation.

 

[Zorf]

Other news!

Philly is not offering Mrazek a Qualifying Offer. He will be UFA.

If Ottawa trades Anderson, he could be an ok stopgap. Not too many goalies out there right now. He shouldn't be too expensive either. Plus, 67s connection.

 

[Senscore]

So many available goalies out there better than Condon.

 

[stempniaksen]

This. This a thousand freaking times.

If we ever give term to a backup again after dealing with these Hammond and Condon deals I'm gonna lose it.

Would be nice to go into next season with fresh blood in nets but instead we're gonna have to take back a dump in an Andy deal and Condon is still here with his "big" deal and we're gonna gift the Avs a top-pick because none of our goalies can stop a beach ball.

 

[Benjamin]

Theres enough goalies available either through trade or free agencies that I dont see how Anderson is traded. With his age and price, who would want him? Unless its bad contract swap, 1 for 1.
