GDT: 2015 NHL Entry Draft [Flames pick Anderson @ 53, Kylington @ 60, 136, 166, 196]

[AgeOfBennett]

Now that we have Dougie I would feel very comfortable trading wideman for a late first and taking a risk on Kylington. Who would be interested in Wides. Maybe Detriot if we throw in a prospect or another pick?

 

[Calculon]

Maybe Granlund+Reinhart+Ramage for Lucic

Sweeney really wants those first round picks. He'd have the 13th, 14th and 15th if this went down.

Which isn't to bad if you consider, Conner + Chabot + Merkley

But they gave up a cornerstone D and a very good forward entering his prime to do it.

I wouldn't have moved Hamilton if I was them, but with their cap it makes a lot of sense.

 

[Buchanan*]

LA beefing up, Calgary beefing up, next season is going to be exciting

 

[Taranis]

Lucic to LA besides cap makes a ton of sense.

 

[GAMO1992]

well i gotta head to work unfortunately
lemme know all the deets while I'm gone!!!
have a good draft guys!

Does it make sense to move the young guys to make sure you can keep the old guys, though? It's weird that those two guys are viewed as the most expendable.

 

[Taranis]

Dreger just said on radio Lucic to LA is done.

 

[Anglesmith]

Elliotte Friedman ‏@FriedgeHNIC now
Think it is also possible Martin Jones goes to BOS

 

[1989]

Pearson (recently re-signed) and 13th for Lucic and 37th overall would be my guess.
Or Kozun and Forbort plus the first round pick.

Lucic on the Kings would be fearsome. Tops in the Pacific, and probably no more middling playoff-seeding.

 

[Calculon]

What is Boston doing?

 

[Pirate King Luffy]

Lmao. Rask is on the way out now

They acquired Martin Jones.

 

[Taranis]

Well this thread is going to be busy.

 

[Calculon]

The question on everyone's minds


The arms race in the west is getting ridiculous.

 

[Taranis]

Well LA is going to be a bigger pain to play against.

Martin Jones and 13th pick are part of deal. Not sure if anything else.

 

[Taranis]

Does this not spark complete rebuild to anyone else?

Unless they dump Chara, I wouldn't say "complete."

Their core right now is Chara, Rask, Bergeron, Marchand, Krejci.

They're certainly taking a step back.

Milan Lucic trade call with LA is done. BOS gets a player, a prospect and the 13th pick in today's draft. #TSN

 

[Taranis]

They got a player, prospect and 13th pick for one year of Lucic. Pretty good haul.

Unless they eat Charas cap hit he doesn't have much value at 38.
