Proposal: Hamilton for Kadri. Lets make this happen

[Hoverhand]

Hamilton: 8.7 CF% RelTM close (leads Calgary)
Note: Lower OZFO% than Wideman and Girdana, and about the same as Brodie.

Number 4 or 5 D? OK. He'd be 1a or 1b on the Leafs.

The funny thing is that Kadri and Hamilton have had identical production the last two years (84 and 85 points, respectively).

The point thing although true is muddy, Kadri was largely used in a penalty drawing, defensive, post esque role since Babcock came to town. This year however he's been put in a more offensive role and is spitting fire.

Also I hate the "He'd be X on the this team" argument because the player he is doesn't change depending on the team. If he's a #3 or #4 by NHL standards that doesn't mean we would pay a #1 price for him just because we're in need of dman.

dang, some of this reminds me of when the Flamers tried convincing everybody that JBoy was a honest to gonest NHL #1 defenceman

....good times

I could of sworn he was on the last two Canadian national teams that won gold. Being top 8 in Canada has to stand for something. Doesn't he play top pairing in St Louis?

This just in: uninformed leafs fan makes stupid statement despite much proof being provided in multiple threads

Coming up next: local store has booming business as only grocery store for eighteen miles

You seem to be upset, maybe you need to hit that little x on the top right corner of the screen. Hamilton is at best a number 3 and a shut down center who is almost a ppg player has much much more value

No deal and as far as the Marner nonsense, there is no player on Calgary that could get Marner....zilch

Lol
Who is the shutdown centre?

Hamilton out performs Rielly in every year of progression and Leaf fans claim Rielly is a number one, future elite superstar but Hamilton is a number 3 who couldn't land what would be a third line centre on our team. Delusional much?

Hamilton has more value than Kadri, but Kadri is simply not available. He's probably the most important vet on the team, and we need our vets right now.

Not one single Flame fan has said they wanted Kadri in return. It has been a unanimous "no". Kadri is a good middle 6 centre which is completely not what Calgary is in the market for and isn't a good enough return for Dougie. This thread should just be closed.

Yeah, we say no to jvr, Carrick and kadri, and say we want to keep Hamilton, and leafs fans get up in arms because we supposedly want kadri

a #1 Dman in the NHL is a lot different then the guy who rides shotgun as a #2, which still makes him a 1st pairing, what you and I are talking about are two very different animals

a true #1 drives the play, something Jay just doesn't do with any regularity, so no sadly Jay is not now nor has ever really been a true #1, and to be honest not many guys are. He has been given the opportunity to fulfill that role first in Fla and then in Calgary and he has produced points when given the opportunity, because the guy isn't short on talent that's for sure

He has played in 1 Olympics which was Sochi, logging all 6 games and picking up 1 assist averaging 16 mins of ice time

5 years ago, Bouwmester was a number one. Not elite by any means but he was a hell of a player that just didn't work with Calgary's style.

it's a good thing Rielly, started on one of the NHL's elite squads, or he'd be way behind in development and pts totals

care to give me a scouting report

He is way behind. And he was way behind in junior. Every year of development. Dougie being better isn't something new.

Dougie Hamilton reminds me of Cody Franson. For that reason, I'd pass.

not fair to Cody

perhaps you just haven't been watching lately

and where's my scouting report

Wow. Horrible comparison.

 

[Ice Cream Man]

Again, we'll keep Hamilton, thanks. 23 year old potential #1 defenseman who hasn't entered his prime. Matthews, Marner and Nylander are great but

Most likely Treliving will deal Wideman for something minor instead. Hamilton isn't going for scraps.

 

[Flames Fanatic]

How is this thread going?

Flames fans say we don't want to give up Hamilton, especially if Kadri is the return. He's a good player, just wouldn't be filling a need for the Flames and would be leaving a huge hole on our Defense.

Leafs don't want to give up anything else or anything that the Flames want, or highly disagree in Hamilton's value. No deal there either.

Thread done.

I think they sleep in shifts. Every morning someone new comes and says the exact same thing and are blown away that we don't have any interest in Kadri or their defensive prospects.

 

[CamelToews]

Why would Calgary want Kadri? We aren't good trading partners unless they want Andersen (And I'm not trading Andersen).
