Rumor: Trade rumours/Proposals 2018-2019 (Part 10)

[SensFactor]

and the logic doesnt exist

there was no need to trade karlsson before the season started, its not like san joses offer was too good to be true

karlsson would have added another 8 to 10 points to the team overall at least, we would have had more fans in the seats (which eugene would have loved) and we would have been completely running the trade deadline market if we went with our route of being too cheap to resign anyone

we legitimately traded him out of spite and rushed it. it was idiotic even if you are on the side of believing that karlsson is the biggest ******* of all time or that this is a real rebuild and not about saving money

Yup good point. Hopefully one day Dorion or Karlsson will give us the low down on what really happened. Melnyk in all likelihood traded Karlsson out of spite or bad blood.

This is exactly what happened. Nevermind all that "he doesn't like to practice" garbage or the "bad in the room" takes, they were all just an attempt at damage control.

 

[billpo]

was considering supporting jets in pIayoffs but if there being jerks I wiII throwmy support eIsewhere

why are being Jerks...you want them to do what we did the EK ??

 

[BonkTastic]

Eaves is on waivers. We should pick him up or try to trade Smith or Condon for him

Man, who was the poster I was debating with a few years ago, when I was trying to explain that Eaves' 2016-17 was a complete fluke and he'd never replicate it because he can't stay healthy enough to ever find the consistency to be good over a relevant period of time?

Anyways, I'm honestly surprised Eaves is on waivers to begin with. Last I heard, he's been dealing with a long-term illness with an unknown return date. Maybe this means he has a "clean" bill of health now?

I wanted ek gone his attitude was annoying and of a spoiled brat so I don't care about ek lol.

 

[DJB]

I want pecan as a throw in. He has been very smart and good when I've watched him. There is potential there

I love pecan pie. Delicious!

No clue about the first point but no argument here. I just think it would be nice because he is a good locker room vet, he would invoke nostalgia in the fanbase, he would help us to the floor, and even when he isnt scoring he's been a good 4th line player for a long time

As for his health, he has played 12 games this season and as far as I know is fully healthy. He has 1 pt in 5 games with San Diego and 0 in 7 games with Anaheim. I don't think he would contribute a ton but I think he could be worth grabbing for the above reasons. If we can swap Condon or Smith for him, all the better

Looking at the exodus of talent leaving Ottawa in the last two years, makes me feel ill:
- Karlsson
- Hoffman
- Brassard
- Methot
- Turris
- Stone
- Duchene
- Dzingel
- Our 1st Round Draft Pick (likely Jack Hughes!)

What the f*** is going on? Smh

 

[BigRig4]

Wouldn't be surprised if we claimed Eaves as a cap floor maneuver

 

[Do Make Say Think]

I think we'll try to get Hossa's contract from Chicago.

They'll try to sell it as something more than "cheating the system" to the fans of course

It's already in Arizona

I guess that's that then!

Isn't his contract already with ARZ, who are using it for the same reason OTT would?

If you're going to list the talent that has been traded, you have to at least be fair and consider the exciting talent we've added in those trades like Mikael Boedker and Dylan Demelo.

I could see us going after Kovalchuk if him and the Kings mutually decide that he will retire again and go back to the KHL.

It's a 35+ contract, so if he retires there is no money owed, but the cap hit sticks for the entirety of the contract. Perfect situation for us.

They're trying to sink this bitch

 

[Clayonator]

I don’t get this fascination with Petan. Actually I do, it’s in the same vein as the Condra obsession. “Oh good advanced stats and hockey sense”....there’s a reason he isn’t playing. If he happens to be a throw in with any deal with make with WPG, cool. That’s all he is. A throw in.

If Winnipeg isn’t willing to part with either of of Vesa, Ros, in the case of Stone and Duchene or Appleton in the case of Dzingel they can kick rocks. God I hate that team and I do even more now with their low ball offers. I have way more faith in Nashville paying the piper.

 

[TkachukNorris79]

What do you think Dzingel goes for?? I would really look at Washington and in a deal similar to the Evander Kane trade.

Bowey+conditional 2020 2nd (if dzingel re-signs, or WSH makes it to the SCF, it turns to a 1st)

Bowey could be a steal, seems like a Jaros comparable. They might not pan out, but if we have 2 of them, at least our chances of 1 panning out as a #4D are doubled.

Why table your best offer so late in the game?

It was time to get "serious".

Managing the message for the few folks who still believe anything this org says.

why did u hate Winnipeg before this ? just curious

Well he was also quite the junior player and he’s young

Because it's a PR push, the team is trying to get ahead of things the same way they did with everything else. Just like we heard Garrioch last night, "The ball is now in Stone's court...". The team is trying to put the decision and fallback on him. PR101

 

[Alex1234]

That really is insane.

If we dress these guys in the remaining games, we are literally a gong show. That would be so stupid, so dumb. "Integrity of the game" be damned, there's a point (we reached it long long ago) where the state of the franchise needs to be put above "integrity"

Agree

Gong show status has been reached months ago though

Shows how management care about the state of the franchise and the players themselves
