Rumor: Trade Rumours and Proposals Thread: Draft day edition: Pt 1

[McVirginOil]

I just realized this is the same price we paid for Reinhart minus a 2nd hah

 

[RipsADrive]

Flames are racking up debt on their credit card.

These is actually a rather risky deal for them IMO.

 

[McAsuno]

Are we sure the Flames aren't going to try and re-sign him? Depth is king on the backend.

Not sure if they will, but if not, I would offer him a 1-2 year contract.

 

[Glass Eyes]

I'm more amazed people have the utmost confidence in Peter Chiarelli after the series of moves he's made.

 

[Johnny McBravo]

New best case scenario for the offseason now might be

Trade Nuge and Pouliot to Vgs for Eakin, Garrison and Karlsson

Sign Doan and Gryba

right?

Rather trade Nuge for Barrie.

 

[Wheathead]

I have a feeling the ask from the Oilers may have been different because there's a pretty good chance our picks will be later in rounds. It's hard to say, no one really knows with these deals at drafts.

Remember how the ask for Hamilton from us was considerably more than what Sweeney actually got for him from Calgary?

But hey, let's just assume everything Is equal and Chia got hosed... since so many of you hate him because he has the job y'all think you deserve with your "amazing" hockey IQs.

 

[Weitz]

How many days till the panic trade from Chia? Just like the ****** Reinhart deal after they got Hamilton?

 

[Paralyzer]

I would be shocked if the flames are not fighting for the division for the next 2-3 years.

I'm not. They have who for offense? They won't have any at this rate. I'm not worried one bit.

 

[Spawn]

Hoping to be in on Barrie. Doubt it at this point though. Chia is perfectly fine with our D core as is

We're not in on any top 4 d-men. Chiarelli didn't sign Kris Russell at 4M a year to be a bottom pair d-man.

 

[Jet Walters]

Smith implodes or gets hurt, Flames miss playoffs, win lottery. A man can dream right?

 

[BoldNewLettuce]

I just realized this is the same price we paid for Reinhart minus a 2nd hah

Imagine what the Flames would have paid for Reinhart.

Our price was Hall.

 

[Da McBomb]

I hope Calgary misses the playoffs next year and wins the draft lottery. That would be gold.

 

[Hemsky is a gangsta]

This looks really good for Calgary on paper, their top 4 is insane.

As an Oilers fan I will hold on to hope for the following:

1. Hamonic doesn't bounce back from his poor year
2. Mike Smith falls apart
3. The Flames narrowly miss playoffs but their pick becomes #1 through lottery
4. Brad Treliving effectively "Mike Gillis"es the Flames by leaving the prospect cupboard bare.

 

[Burnt Biscuits]

New best case scenario for the offseason now might be

Trade Nuge and Pouliot to Vgs for Eakin, Garrison and Karlsson

Sign Doan and Gryba

right?

That sounds like a pretty horrible best case scenario.

 

[Johnny McBravo]

Imagine what the Flames would have paid for Reinhart.

Our price was Hall.

That's actually hilarious. Snow missed out on Hall to get a package of picks. What a dumbass

 

[Wheathead]

I hope Calgary misses the playoffs next year and wins the draft lottery. That would be gold.

Mike Smith is far from a sure thing anymore.

 

[Cerebral]

I find it hilarious how much more value some fans place on "known" prospects than picks. For example, a number of people are furious that Chiarelli wouldn't move a 1st and two 2nd rounders for Hamonic and yet some of those same people would likely be upset if a similar deal was proposed in a year that involved Yamomoto.

A lot of Flames fans seem satisfied with the deal for Hamonic but they likely would have been really upset if the the deal was Hamonic for Valimaki (1st), Kylington (2nd), and Andersson (2nd).

The reality is that we all fall in love with our prospects and see big futures for them. Picks do hold value, and while Hamonic is a player I like, a 1st and two 2nd rounders is certainly a fairly steep price to pay.

 

[Da McBomb]

Flames defence always looks good on paper. Best in the league remember? Let's see how they ACTUALLY perform before anointing them division champs

 

[North]

That's actually hilarious. Snow missed out on Hall to get a package of picks. What a dumbass

Snow's asset management is something to behold.

 

[Raoul Duke]

Maybe we are in on Shattenkirk or Barrie. I keep telling myself that to make it easier

We used up the cap space and roster spot for anything like that on Russell.

 

[LTIR]

Flames are racking up debt on their credit card.

These is actually a rather risky deal for them IMO.

Flames are now a legit playoffs team.. picks are a crapshoot

 

[Spawn]

Snow's asset management is something to behold.

It truly is, which is why I'm always so frustrated to see Chia trade with him.

Snow is the worst GM in the trade in everything he does except for when he trades with Chiarelli, then he becomes a savant.

 

[Johnny McBravo]

We used up the cap space and roster spot for anything like that on Russell.

Not if we are sending money the other way.

We can't afford Shattenkirk, but Barrie is definitely an option.

 

[BlackDogg]

We already improved enough defensively by getting rid of eberle right??

 

[The Safe Play]

With multiple knee injuries and his last year, I dunno if this is the deal to crucify Chiarelli for.
