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

[KirkAlbuquerque]

"Worst player"? Do you mean relative to contract or simply the least skilled?

I would guess the former. Otherwise its just trading AHL tweeners who make under 1m back and forth

 

[Lunatik]

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.

The "worst" would be Davidson or Quine

I dunno. I kind of like Quine, although we didn't see much of him.

I like both of those guys to be honest. Quine I think can be a serviceable 4th liner and I think Davidson was showing 4/5 potential before his injury problems. But I think Czarnik is better than both by a little bit, as I think with the right linemates he could be a good 3rd liner.

 

[CraigsList]

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.

Point still stands, we have no one like that. Maybe Stone, but we bought him out.

I thought Czarnik was pretty solid in his brief stints with Backlund and Tkachuk. He seems super streaky though. I think he will be a Lee Stempniak player who bounces around from team to team but is super serviceable in the bottom 6.

I know the point still stands, it was my point.

cody ceci for marc staal

DONE!

Players like Mark Jankowski.
Czarnik is in the same universe as him, bottom 6 guys, younger guys, have shown some good offensive flair in the past. Regardless, we have legit NHLers starting after Neal and Smith

 

[PuckItUp27]

Andrew Ladd for Ilya Kovalchuk

 

[DudeWhereIsMakar]

I feel like nothing will ever top Lucic for Neal considering it was rivalry teams trading with one another.

 

[BrockLobster]

Andrew ladd is available

 

[Lunatik]

Pretty much. So when each contract started looking bad, us Flames fans were relentless mocking the Lucic contract and when it was obvious Neal's contract was bad, they mocked the Neal contract relentlessly. Now each side is defending the move.

 

[Lil Sebastian Cossa]

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

Is Ericksson the result of a fusion dance between Jonathan Ericsson and Loui Eriksson?

 

[McDrailers]

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.

Clark Bishop maybe?

 

[Boom Boom Apathy]

Clark Bishop maybe?

If he’s on the team, yeah. I’m not sure that he will be though.

 

[BHD]

Rutherford needs to get online and switch Johnson to a right-handed shot. I’m sure that would make him a Leaf in no time.

 

[ottawa]

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

Literally none, not even sure why you'd bring that up? Nice bait though I guess

 

[WSS11]

Someone take Mikkel Boedker please


please

I still cannot believe Dorion took Boedker for Hoffman. It’s almost as bad as the Karlsson trade.

 

[Halla]

Codi Ceci for anyone that makes less than 4.5 on an expiring deal lol

 

[Halla]

Alzner to Vancouver for Ericksson ???

not a bad idea

 

[Halla]

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

exactly. this kinda deal would cut their cap down by 4+mil.

 

[Halla]

Aaron dell for some other bad backup goalie?

Tough sell. Dell makes 2x more than most backups

 

[RangersFan1994]

Marc Staal to anyone in the ECHL at this point

 

[cwede]

Brendan Smith for Tyler Ennis
