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

There’s a certain degree of entitlement there that I’m not exactly comfortable with either.

Yep, that's why I'm not particularly interested, but some suggest Winterpeg dicked around their prospects in the past, I'm not familiar enough to know if that's a valid criticism or not,

Its common for players to come out of college and to burn a year off their ELC. Players these days look at every chance to get paid quicker. Sounds like he was not happy about that

 

[frightenedinmatenum2]

I don't know if it is entitlement as much as it is leverage.

In a perfect world, you want all your players to embrace the challenge of living in a $500 a month hotel with Scott Sabourin before they make it up to the big leagues, but 99 percent of NHLers are pampered upper class athletes who have had life on easy street. So I'm not going to judge a College free agent who recognizes that they have the leverage to call their shot anymore than your average player.

Yeah this is expected. Imagine if we told Sanderson lol no at burning his ELC. Philadelphia would still have Cutter Gauthier if they signed him and let him burn the year.

I'm sure there are a few cases where players were told no and stayed, but it seems uncommon. I remember with Colin White, they insisted that he sign an ATO with Belleville. Strangely, the ATO didn't even come with a post-dated ELC. He signed his post-dated ELC after a few games. It was incredibly strange how it played out.

Sometimes players sign ATOs when their ELC is still in a position to slide, because it gets them into important pro games, but if I recall Colin White's was not going to slide.

If a guy doesn’t want to play in Winnipeg, do we really think of ourselves as an attractive market to this guy?

It’s been reported he doesn’t want Winnipeg because they didn’t guarantee him an NHL spot off the bat. Not because of the market.

 

[Alex1234]

I've (just) noticed that absolutely no one has mentioned Kubalik at all. No rumours, no mentions, no interest, no interviews.

Feels pretty good i guess. Prolly not for him, but for me I mean.

Has there been a more forgettable Senator?

Dorion?

 

[Tuna99]

Edmonton fans and management appear to be penciling him in for top 4 duty this year after his showing in the playoffs. No way he'll be made available imo.

Greig + for McGroaty?

This, and because they don’t let him play one game to burn a year of ecl

 

[BonHoonLayneCornell]

Greig + for McGroaty?

I'm all for making a deal, but not Greig. He's the dog on the team.

 

[Burrowsaurus]

I doubt they trade Ostapchuk he plays the game exactly the way they are teaching at development camp. I think there are a few others they could move instead like Jarventie, Petersson or JBD.

For McGroarry? The jets don’t even know who those players are lol

 

[Masked]

The correct answer is Chris Tierney.

Is that a made up name?

 

[Micklebot]

For McGroarry? The jets don’t even know who those players are lol

That's fine, I have no idea who McGroarry is...so we're even

 

[frightenedinmatenum2]

It took me a while to believe that Rutger McGroarty wasn't a fake EASHL drop in player name.

 

[Tuna99]

Best thing for Ottawa / Edmonton / Calgary / Buffalo and Winnipeg can do is trade their assholes prospects to each other so these American prospects who aren’t signing with their teams learn to respect the small markets

 

[aragorn]

haha I was reacting to someone eles post on sending ostapchuk as part of some deal. I hope they don't move him.

Maybe not Edmonton. They're getting the contender discounts this summer.

 

[Burrowsaurus]

If our scouting was half ass over the last 3 f***ing years we could package some prospects for McGroarty

haha I was reacting to someone eles post on sending ostapchuk as part of some deal. I hope they don't move him.

Ostapchuk is probably in the same boat. Every team has an ostapchuk

Who? Never heard of him. Does he play hockey?

 

[Gil Gunderson]

I don’t see a reason to deal Greig for Rutger. Is it just for the sake of making a trade here?

 

[ChurchOfAlfie]

That's fine, I have no idea who McGroarry is...so we're even

You've never heard of Rutger McGroarty, Labrador Detective? He was a cartoon dog who solved crimes, was really big in the 90s, I'd watch the show every saturday morning.

No idea if he's any good at hockey though.

 

[Volt]

While Rutger McGroarty is a very enticing prospect and potentially a good fit, Grieg is already a proven NHLer with much upside to still progress towards along with his current intangibles.

 

[Bileur]

Unprotected 2025 first for McGroarty.

Seems like a fun gamble for Chevy. How much faith does he have in the sens?

Yup

I would do it based on the division alone. Even if we improve the may not come close to the top 4 in the division

 

[Big Muddy]

I doubt they trade Ostapchuk he plays the game exactly the way they are teaching at development camp. I think there are a few others they could move instead like Jarventie, Petersson or JBD.

I don’t think those players would generate a lot of interest from the Jets & the returns from players of this ilk in a trade (if it were a stand alone trade for those players) would be meager.
