Rumor: Ducks trying to unload a contract in order to re-sign Rakell/Lindholm

[Number1RedWingsFan52]

Fowler To Leafs please

For whom, Remember that Anaheim needs to shed salary, So what top 6 LW does Toronto have that Anaheim can shed salary with JVR wont work as he makes $250,000 more then Fowler.

 

[Crosbysux]

It will take more than a 2nd or mid prospect to move those contracts. See what the Hawks gave up to move one year of Bickel.

Bickel was also relegated to the AHL since he wasn't playing at a NHL level. Stoner is a solid 5/6 guy, whose game is built for the playoffs. He's a stay at home guy that can let a young offensive guy develop. A 2nd or mid level prospect would all Ducks would be willing to do, they're not in the business of giving up their 1st rounder.

 

[TLEH]

Hawks moving Bickell is different than the Ducks moving Stoner. Bickell is a 4 mil contract that can't hack it in the NHL anymore. Stoner is at least a serviceable bottom pairing defenseman at 3.25 mil. If the Ducks retained some salary, he could be worth what the new team pays him and justify the deal with his play. Bickell can't.

but he also has another year left that bickell didn't

 

[BruinsBtn]

He is a good skater and good mobile defender, He is however afraid to take the hit to make the play and often looses the board battles against bigger guys.

Hmmmmm. Those last two things are what they hate most in Boston.

Maybe Dupres? Shoulda drafted him instead of Jordan Caron.

 

[BatVader]

Fowler to Mtl for picks and under an 1m prospect.
-Ducks are trying to save money and can't get a player back if they want to do that.

Might also need to move Stoner if they are trying to sign both kids.

 

[go4hockey]

Were the Oilers relocated to the east coast?

And if that was the return they must also have some real bad pictures of the Ducks GM. That's a joke of a return for Vats.

 

[Arthuros]

Oh?

I would eat crow, but now I'm not entirely sure how I'd do that. I used to identify them by their colour.

Are you gonna tell me that not all crows are black?

 

[Number1RedWingsFan52]

Vatanen to the Oilers for Reinhart.

Vatanen Better then Reinhart So yeah no.

 

[Pinkfloyd]

but he also has another year left that bickell didn't

In this context, that doesn't mean that much. One is at the very least arguably an NHL player. One simply isn't. Plus, the potential ability the Ducks have to retain at least some salary has its own value that Chicago couldn't afford to do.

 

[Number1RedWingsFan52]

Could Ducks take any salary back?
Holland, Corrado?

No they said that it has to be a salary shedding deal for Anaheim.

Can the Ducks retain salary? They have 2 significant RFA's to sign, and they work with a self imposed budget. It doesn't seem like they're in the position of strength.

 

[Arthuros]

Vatanen<<<<Reinhart So yeah no.

I really hope you used those arrows incorrectly.

 

[TripleDekeGloveSide]

Vatanen<<<<Reinhart So yeah no.

You forget the /s or get this backwards?

 

[Number1RedWingsFan52]

MTL have over 2.5M available now. We can't keep 25 player into the lineup.

Okay thanks forgot that Montreal was over the 23 man limit roster.

 

[Curufinwe]

Montreal don't have $4m in cap space.

Every Duck trade thread I read indicates they are not interested in prospects and/or draft picks, they are trying to win now and they want a top 6 LW that is cost controlled. Also keep in mind the premise of this whole thread is they are trying to shed $$, so how does it make sense to retain salary?

They can potentially. Nobody knows what their budget number is other than it's more than what they spent last season. They're not in a position strength. Most trades at this point of the year where a team is looking to move some cap space tends to be doing so from a position of weakness.

 

[Number1RedWingsFan52]

My bad changed it.

 

[12ozPapa]

I have no faith in Bob and am terrified he will trade Cogliano, Silfverberg, Fowler or someone like that and do it in a horrendous deal. After these past two off-seasons, I have zero trust in Bargin Bin Bob.

 

[Number1RedWingsFan52]

Vatanen to the Oilers for Reinhart.

So Edmonton is in the East now, Considering that BM is talking to an Eastern Conference Team.

They can, did with Maroon. It would probably depend on how much they'd retain. I doubt they'd trade Stoner now though. The closer it gets to the trade deadline and the shorter his contract is, the better it will be for the Ducks to trade him. Fowler is the most likely trade candidate, Despres could potentially be a chip that is moved, but if he regains form, his contract and place in our D corp is too valuable to Ducks. Cogliano is also another trade candidate, but he'd only be moved if Ducks know someone has chemistry with Kes and Silf. There's not a lot of players who will be moved besides that (with big salary at least). Fowler/Des/Stoner at this point.

 

[BatVader]

If Mtl gets Fowler, I'm going to have to cheer for them this year, even though I want Therrien gone.
Sad it took Bergevin 5 yrs to put together an actual lineup, instead of playing in the bargainbin.

 

[Number1RedWingsFan52]

I'd think they would want to shed at least 2-2.5m

Most likely then the only ones that would make sense would be Spooner from Boston or Zacha from the Devils in a deal for Fowler Tatar i guess wouldn't work then if BM is looking to save that much.

 

[Avs44]

Let me introduce the albino crow

 

[Zetterberg4Captain]

Whats the difference in salary between fowler and tatar?

That could be the salary saved and lands a top 6 winger....
