Proposal: Free agency edition Trade Rumours/Proposals [MOD - Stay on Topic] 5

[Burrowsaurus]

Dom the Bruins insider, said the Sens don’t want to go more than 35m for five years

Just go get two average goalies f***

 

[xVolchenkov]

I’d be pretty upset if we don’t pick at 7 (or 12 if we trade back with Philly). Getting an extended Ullmark would be great, but those picks better not be involved.

Dorian tried that lol

 

[StoicSensFan]

We're really going from Vezina & Vezina (opticians) to Vezina (trophy). What a glow up!

 

[Agent Zuuuub]

Kaliyev next to Stutzle has the potential to become a duo for the next 10 years. Their skills perfectly compliment each other.

Sort of like a bootleg McDavid-Draisaitl.

If you have a shot at that for cheap you take it all day.

WTF is “the perimeter of a deal”?

Parameters.

Kaliyev wouldn’t last more than 5 games on the top line.

Right so I’m just hoping most of these rumours with 1sts + ostapchuk ++ have no truth to them.
I’d still like to acquire him. But for a reasonable price.
Like I posted before chychrun, forsberg, 2nd/4th is more than fair.

This was never a rumour. It came from a Twitter user who mistook a prediction on Reddit for a rumour. That's where Ostapchuk's name came from.

 

[Agent Zuuuub]

Kaliyev wouldn’t last more than 5 games on the top line.

He's 22 plenty of room to improve and it's not like he has utterly failed as an NHLer so far, mostly been buried on lower lines on a veteran heavy playoff team.

And that's the thing thing about complimentary players they bring out the best in each other.

 

[h2]

I'm not feeling the Kaliyev vibe.

Very meh player.

 

[BigRig4]

I'm not feeling the Kaliyev vibe.

Very meh player.

Same, but you could do worse if the acquisition cost was cheap.

 

[Icelevel]

I'm not feeling the Kaliyev vibe.

Very meh player.

He has a great shot
And has a history with andlauer

Yeah. Doubt he’d be a good fit

 

[Agent Zuuuub]

We also need a big shot. Norris was one of our most dangerous weapons on the team because of his shot. It put fear in goalies and defences. Now that is in jeopardy with his injuries.

Our other big shot in Chychrun is most likely gone.

So that leaves Pinto I guess and that's not enough.

He can’t skate, and is never going to be able too

He can’t last in a role because he can’t keep up.

 

[DJB]

He can’t skate, and is never going to be able too

He can’t last in a role because he can’t keep up.

To pile on he also has to play top 6 as he can’t be relied upon in the bottom 6.

I just don’t see the fit with Ottawa

 

[Ouroboros]

Kaliyev is basically just Kubalik except slower.

That's a fair concern, but I think his skating problems are more that he gets gassed when he goes full tilt than being a bad skater.

Which is definitely concerning, but hopefully something he gets better at. And Stutzle skates enough for two people.

They are obviously different caliber players, but how often did we see Heatley go full blast with his skating? He mostly used his positioning, body, passing, instincts, and shot to be a threat while Spezza and Alfredsson carried the puck.

It's worth a shot to see if Kaliyev can play that role, especially since he will be cheap. Asymmetrical risk and reward.

 

[LeProspector]

Depending on the price, I think Kaliyev could be a fantastic addition.

I think he’s in a similar situation as Ty Dellandrea, who was just traded for a 4th. If that’s the acquisition cost, I do that.

 

[Gil Gunderson]

Bruins insider guy says Ullmark would be looking for 35 mil/5 years from ottawa (7 mil AAV). It’s high but he was obviously going to get a significant raise.

No he didn’t. He got league worst goalies.

The only average goalie he got was Murray but he couldn’t stay healthy

Murray was coming off a sub .900 season with concussion issues. Something we all knew was a concern.

They better have a selkie winner on the other side

 

[Micklebot]

To be fair, he did try to get Markstrom but had to fall back on Murray

Well lots of players have time to improve at 22. But he hasn’t improved since junior. And he’s lethargic and disengaged. No desire to have him on our team

Oh yea he cracked a conservative defensive minded NHL playoff team at 20 and stayed up because he is lethargic and disengaged.

Kaliyev is a smart player including defensively, he is also a big body and on Ottawa would be one of hardest forwards to take the puck off in the corners. Who needs that?

But sure he's Kubalik 2.0.
