Proposal: Calgary/Dallas

[Johnnybegood13]

Minor deal.

To Dallas:

Tyler Wotherspoon

To Calgary:

Brett Ritchie

Both are 2011 2nd rounders having trouble cracking their respective NHL clubs due to depth at position, swap may change their fortunes.

I think we add a little. Ritchie has the higher potential to make an impact in the NHL whereas Wotherspoon is the safer choice of the two.

 

[edguy]

I think Dallas is still very high on Ritchie (as they shoupd be). And i doubt theyd be willing to move him in this type of deal

 

[dechire]

Wotherspoon is even less likely to make it on the Stars. Not because of his playing ability but because he'd be the #9 D.

 

[glovesave_35]

Like what I have seen from Ritchie. Not interested in this type of deal.

 

[Mr Misty]

Hemsky, Sharp, and Hudler are UFAs and Nichushkin's situation is up in the air so Ritchie is at the top of the 2017 depth chart. Moving him for a 9th defenseman is just awful.

 

[Skobel24]

Dallas passes. They have more than enough guys that can fill out that bottom pairing, no reason to add Wotherspoon. Especially at the cost of Ritchie.

 

[Halla]

Dallas passes easily. Ritchie has shown more.

The wings are our weakest position in the pipeline and D pushing to make the roster is probably our deepest by a wide margin. Rather keep Ritchie, we already have 8-9D , no point in adding one more who likely doesn't make the team

 

[InfinityIggy]

No reason for Dallas to do this. Flames take it and run I think.

 

[Satan]

Dallas says nein

 

[LT]

No thanks. There are two defenders on Calgary I'd be interested in acquiring, and neither of them will move for anything we'd be willing to offer.

Don't see a good deal between these two teams, at least at those positions.

 

[Figgy44]

They traded us Jokipakka whom we think we will lose in the expansion draft. I don't think they want Wotherspoon.

 

[Major Happy*]

Doubt Dallas does this deal. Id do it for sure as a Flames fan.

 

[serp]

Stars don't really need young unproven defenseman. We have plenty of those outselves . We basically gave one away to the Flames for free in Jokkipakka and still have too many.

 

[rhinoshawarma]

Ritchie has high upside and they don't need more D prospects. Value wise it's a no go for Dallas, and need wise as well
