Speculation: Your teams worst player for another teams worst player.

[DFF]

Cam Talbot for Mike Smith
James Neal for Milan Lucic

Will that not shoot the Leafs in the foot? Aren't they off the hook from those two contracts because of LTIR? I'd think burying Alzner would only help them save so much

Ya oddly enough those contracts are worth as much to us a free cap space.....and not a single "bad player" for both would actually make the deal any more beneficial.

Marincin for whom?

 

[KirbyDots]

Someone take Mikkel Boedker please


please

No backsies!

Abdelkder <> Lucic
Lucic <> Neal
Neal <> Abdelkader

 

[LTIR]

Cam Talbot for Mike Smith
James Neal for Milan Lucic

Oilers and Flames should keep going. We are on Manning, who do you got next?

 

[Dahlin 2 Eichel]

Marc Staal to anyone that wants this piece of trash

Take him for Sobotka

If the Flames get Manning and sign Rieder, I think the Oilers have a shot at the postseason.

 

[57special]

Twist our arm and take Victor Rask!

 

[BatVader]

Some of these are really good

 

[Lenerdosy]

Alzner to Vancouver for Ericksson ???

Sold! I will trade Ericksson for anyone elses trash at this point.

<looks at the depth chart>
Andrew MacDonald on a PTO, so he's not signed.
Now you're starting to hit actual NHL players like Mark Jankowski. Unfortunately, past backup goaltender and worst forward the Flames are actually kind of deep.

We will gladly give Eriksson for Rask we will even throw in Schaller to sweeten the deal!

I see your Marincin and raise you a Holl

How many "my team's worst player for McDavid" are we going to see?

I literally came here to do that. Someone sucked all the fun out of it though.

No one remotely as shitty as Manning and his contract.

 

[Henkka]

Ericsson for Eriksson.

 

[Oddbob]

Ericsson for Eriksson.

That would be like a bowl of Barfaroni!

 

[780il]

No one remotely as ****ty as Manning and his contract.

He has one year left at 2.25m, and he's most likely just gonna be buried so half that goes away... Not as bad as it seems.

 

[Porter Stoutheart]

Our team's "worst player" is like Matt Irwin? Or maybe Miikka Salomaki up front? I don't propose any "trade" for them. They are serviceable #8D or #13F types. But if you claim them on waivers, great, we have prospects who are better. So why trade for somebody else's spares?

 

[SotasicA]

The worst player might be the one with the most potential though. Like an 18-year-old 1st round pick hoping not to get cut.

 

[Boom Boom Apathy]

This is bizarro world for a Canes fan, but I'm struggling to assess who is the "worst player". It's bizarre because just a few years back were were icing guys like Bellemore, Harrison, Sanguinetti, McBain, Dwyer, Bowman, Terry, Westgarth, etc....

Definitely not: Aho, Nino, Svech, Teravainen, Staal, Dzingel, Haula, Necas; Slavin, Pesce, Hamilton, Faulk; Mrazek
Probably not: Martinook, McGinn, Foegele, TVR,

That leaves: Wallmark (who was an adequate 3C last year on the ECF team), Fleury, Forsling, Reimer or whoever becomes the 13th forward.

I guess if I had to choose, I'd say Reimer or Forlsing. Problem is, I really don't want anybody's trash back for our back-up goalie, #7 defenseman or a 13th forward.

 

[UnleashRasmus]

Someone take Mikkel Boedker please


please

I'll take him for Vladimir Sobotka or the untradeable one Kyle Okposo.

 

[Lunatik]

paying 2.25 million for a guy that was a healthy scratch in the AHL isn't as bad as it seems?

 

[izlez]

Glendening's Expected Plus/Minus was the worst among all NHL forwards last season too.

I feel like I'm afraid to ask, but I'm asking anyway. What the hell is "Expected Plus/Minus" and is that a serious concern or sarcasm?

The worst Flame after Lucic is probably Austin Czarnik. He just sort of skates around playing "well" but doesn't really contribute offensively or defensively. At least Jankowski is a decent goal scorer and penalty killer.
