CGY is purging their team. over the past 6ish months they've traded
top-6 C (Lindholm)
top-9 fwd (Mangiapane)
3 top-4 caliber dmen (Zadorov, Hanifin, Tanev)
starting goalie (Markstrom)
looks like they are trying to rebuild heavy, and the new GM bring in their own guys.
RHD is often scarce in the league, &have 1 good one and 1 v good one which would be great trade pieces. the UFA market for RHD is barren (assumign Pesce in NJD). It's Montour and ???
Weegar is a bit of a long shot given full NTC for sure. But I think Andersson with 2 years remaining on a low-cap hit and lesser restrictions would be attractive to some teams. would he extend there if they are in the midst of a rebuild?
Yeah Weegar is likely a pipedream for us either way. He has full control over where he ends up for now and I have a feeling we aren't at the top of his list.
No idea if we would make Rasmus' 6 team NT list.
To be fair, he essentially missed the entire season before. It definitely is a risk on Philly's part but as I said I saw things in his game I liked in Philly. Whether he can build in it and get back to where he was a fee years ago remains to be seen.
Yeah I just wouldn't be overly enamoured if that's the value we got for McG.
Is it fair? Yeah probably given what we've seen on returns for NCAA holdouts. Is it good value? Absolutely not in my eyes.
