Value of: Connor Ingram to Los Angeles

[johnjm22]

Prior to this season Ingram was putting up the numbers of an AHL/NHL tweener.

But in the last few months he's gotten red hot. He's hurting AZ in the Bedard Sweepstakes.

LA could really use a hot goaltender heading into the playoffs. Ingram is intriguing because of the low cap hit.

What would be the price to get him in LA?

No.

Get a legit starter or wait for Quick to retire in a few months. It's not like we're contending anyways.

Ingram is better than any goaltender in our organization. Has shown glimpses of brilliance. Was drafted by Yzerman and at one time was planned to be Vasilevsky's long term backup.
There are issues behind the scenes though. Player assistance. Was sold down the river by Yzerman for a 7th rounder to Nashville so something went down behind the scenes that precipitated a hasty exit.
Waived by NSH because they acquired Lankinen. Was hoping Blake would grab him for a 7th before he was waived but he seems slow at those kind of moves.
Shut out Tampa on 47 shots last week, the guy has a long memory and carries a grudge and I like that.
The cost of acquiring him is the key variable. I would give a 5th, maybe a 4th.

Your definition of a hot goaltender is Conner Ingram? I have no words for this.

He's been pretty highly touted, was a 2nd and had some of the best numbers in the AHL a few years ago.

He's one of the hottest goalies in the league right now.

That's what the playoffs are all about. Getting hot at the right time.

You sure about that? Kings are 1 point out of 1st in the Western Conference. When they get replacement level goaltending this year they're one of the best teams in the league.

We should see what Calgary wants for Dustin Wolf.

 

[stempniaksen]

Honestly, depending on the price he's exactly the kind of guy I'd like in Ottawa if they ship out Talbot. Let's them keep one of the kids in the AHL and they give a decently talented player with pedigree some runway to show what he has as a 1A.

Not really sure of the incentive for the Coyotes if the rumours of Vejmelka being available are true, even if if he is playing " too well" for them right now.

Why would AZ deal Ingram? AZ isn't looking to change their goaltending mix unless it means a return they can't ignore. That means a first rounder. Ingram isn't worth that and i don't expect it to be offered. I also don't expect Ingram to be moved. Vejmelka? He at least has enough of a body of work to justify a return of something. But he's not being actively shopped.

This is the driving force behind so many failed cultures in professional sports organizations.
Everyone should just take the rest of the year off and lets have Boston and Tampa play a best of 30 game series to determine the Cup, right? Nobody else has a chance.

That man is our tank commander, no way we trade him for what he's worth. Vejmelka is better and might actually fetch something. Ingram isn't worth anything, less than anything, no reason to trade him now. He's had 3-5 good games recently, but it means nothing. The whole team has been playing like crazy since Chychrun was scratched. It's definitely not sustainable and there's no reason to panic and trade him for nothing right now.
