Confirmed Trade: [CGY/DET] Tom McCollum for conditional 7th round pick

Why he is not even an AHL calibre goalie sigh

He's one of the better ahl goalies

 

[Figgy44]

Curious on conditions, but I'm guessing likely Det gets him back for free.

We got him for nothing, and he filled a huge expansion exposure need. Moving him to reduce goalie logjam is also good.

AHL depth as Coreu will move up to the NHL and Mrazek probably waived?

Yeah i think this is pretty spot on, I think McCollum takes Coreaus spot in Grand Rapids Coreau probably back Howard in Detroit this season and Mrazek either hopefully gets traded or gets put on waivers.

You're very misinformed. Hes quite good at the ahl level. Finished the year in Charlotte. Canes fans were hoping there'd be a way to keep him around.

 

[Number1RedWingsFan52]

The reaction for giving up a 7th is hilarious

It's a conditional 7th round pick, And i can guarantee you 100% that the condition wont be met, So more or less Detroit gets McCollum for free just like Calgary did.

I've watched McCollum for years he is a bum.

Are you kidding me? McCollum has been very good at the AHL level during his career.

Then you don't have good eyes. He's a great ahl goalie (at least behind the stacked Griffins). However in the playoffs he really isn't that good

 

[Cardiac Jerks]

I've watched McCollum for years he is a bum.

Well this is simply not true. He is a good ahl goaltender and the stats support that.

But you keep thinking whatever you like.

Would like to see the condition, but yeah I agree it's probably a highly improbable one.

 

[Tatar Shots]

Conditions are likely tied to NHL games. Highly doubt they are ever met. With Coreau waiver eligible now they needed a goalie for Grand Rapids

 

[Snakepit]

Condition is likely NHL games played, and won't be met. Flames just needed to clear space. Brought him in only for the expansion draft anyway, actually put up decent numbers in the AHL last year but Calgary has too many goalie prospects, no room for Tom

Over the last two seasons at the AHL level (a few different teams combined);
Record:
29-17-1
Save percentage
.923

He wins and he stops the puck at a high rate.... those are good traits in a goalie.

 

[Datsyukian Deke]

I guess they couldn't get Tim Cheveldae to say yes to a comeback....

 

[SirKillalot]

What's the point of doing this...

Mrazek waived for Coreau? God damn. Let's operate with intelligence as the basis for conversation, ok? Jesus.

 

[Lunatik]

What? Why? What? Where? When? What? Why?

Mrazek trade?

LMAO, McCollum wouldn't impact Mrazek one way or the other

Mrazek has to be gone then I would think?

Why? McCollum is an AHL goalie

Ken Holland needs to be ****ing gone, like yesterday.

As much as I would hope that this would mean that Mrazek is in the process of being traded we have nothing on the Griffins that would be even close to an improvement.

This has to be a simple AHL move though...

It's definitely an AHL move, not sure how this deal looks bad on Holland though

Honestly I bet the conditions won't be met on this thing either. It could be NHL related and both teams know it is unlikely to be achieved.

Agreed, my guess the pick only transfers if he plays an NHL game in 2017-18

Why he is not even an AHL calibre goalie sigh

Umm, yeah he is.

Over the last two seasons at the AHL level (a few different teams combined);
Record:

He wins and he stops the puck at a high rate.... those are good traits in a goalie.

But he's a bum I tell you!
