Proposal: Rumours & Proposals Thread | Trade Cloned, Keep Soli | STAY AWAY CHIA

[Magnum23]

Don’t think mortgaging the future would do us any good this year.

I wouldn’t mind seeing them keep the roster as it is and let Chia see the crap team he has put together , then show him the door.

Boston saved their rebuild that way - it’s not too late !!!!

I propose trading Draisaitl for 2x 5 mil wingers (real ones not Spooners).

I'd think 2 (additional) Nuges would be better than 1 Draisaitl.

Aho and Ferland for Draisaitl, Benning and Maroody/Spooner (might not be enough)
Gets us the fin for Puljujärvi and a Chiasson caliber winger for McDavid.

It's funny how that when the game changes, people still manage to overvalue a specific genre of player. In its current state, we seem to overvalue the vanilla skill forward that skates fast. Anthansiou was a phenomenal junior forward, but he's shown in his first four pro seasons, he might be a small upgrade on Tobias Rieder, who LA walked away from as an RFA.

You want a player like Athanasiou? Wait until the team who has Andre Burakovsky walks away from his qualifying offer this summer. There's no need to spend assets on this type of player.

 

[Ritchie Valens]

Now that the Blues are rolling, I don't see them trading anyone on their team unless they fall back out if the race at the deadline. A lot of the players on wishlists are offseason deals in my opinion.

Time to start looking at Detroit, Ottawa, Chicago, LA and NJ for trade pieces. Those are the teams which will be officially entering sell mode.

 

[BlackDogg]

If Chiarelli couldn't make any changes that would help the team in the offseason, I don't see how he's going to be able to from a position of weakness now. Every GM knows he's in save job mode. Its too late for this season. Time to move on from him and try and regroup next off-season.

Just checked Aho stats. He'd cost Draisaitl alone.

I mention this before as well . 2 wingers , Trade the 1st + Lucic 1 to 2 million retained for a 3C and try and get rid of all the dead weight .

This 100%.. he doesn't have McD pumping his stats and his RFA contract will prob be way better than drais cuz he doesn't have the same "pedigree"

 

[Cam98]

If we moving future asset, I feel we should move Yamamoto + pick for someone in top 6 with term.

 

[Macblender]

That's a lot for a guy who hasn't hit 40 points before and is 24.

I personally dont think Bear will make it and thats why I included him in the trade. I agree the target is not ideal but if there is a trade that happens for a winger right now there are very few options and he would be one of the better ones.

My biggest worry with an AA trade is that he held out for so long the first time that he may just care about the money which doesnt help our cap structure if he does play well as it will lead to an overpay.

GMs don't try to screw another GM base on their job security . They try and make trades that betters their team . If I was a GM and knew a GM was getting fired that would not change a thing . I would do business as normal by buying at fair value to improve my team

Wow you're dreaming or never done business before. The other GMs in the league aren't doing their jobs if they don't have a target right on chiarellis back given his trade history and his job situation. He is the most vulnerable GM in the league right now for making a bad deal and that means his phone is prob ringing off the hook.

Wholeheartedly agree with this. A GM with a proven long-term history of overpaying for a player he wants, a track record of being terrible at assessing a players quality, and being in “all-in, right now” desperation for the playoffs mode? GMs around the league salivate over dealing with someone like this.

 

[McOvechking]

I really wonder if Chiarelli will do something stupid like trading for Tom Wilson as a last ditch effort to save his job.

 

[Bryanbryoil]

Go all in for Stone with $3 million retention (2019 1st + Yamamoto + a third asset if need be assuming that he is signed, sealed and delivered).

Add Zuccarello with $2 million retained for our 2019 2nd + Bear + a 2021 3rd.

Deal Spooner and a 3rd to anyone that will take that deal or bury him in the minors.

Bury Manning in the minors.

Bury Rieder in the minors if we need more cap as well.

Deal Talbot for a cheaper goalie to be our backup.

Keep Sekera on LTIR as long as humanly possible.

I'd love to have Tom Wilson

First deal they would laugh. Change Yamamoto then maybe.
Spooner is worth zero
Manning, knowing Chiarelli he has a one way contract

 

[Panda Bear]

@TheNuge This is pages ago, but I want to clarify that I suggested being okay with Nurse for Kapanen AND Johnsson, not a one for one.

You may be right that going for Nylander would be better, but I don't see us having the cap to manoeuvre that.

 

[McTonyBrar]

People after a loss on this board go insane wow

 

[McShogun99]

The only trades I want to see before Chia gets fired at the end of the season is dumping our UFA's for draft picks at the TDL if we're not even close to a playoff spot. If we're in a playoff spot then I'd want to keep the upcoming UFA's but add a UFA RW that won't cost more then a 3rd+ B level prospect. We need to save anything of value for our next GM to decide what he wants to do.

I know that. I don’t think trading Nurse for a couple 3rd liners is a good idea. I’d rather deal him for Nylander, for example, and get a legit top 6er rather than a couple of mediocre players. You can get Kapanen and Johnsson caliber players for like 2nd round picks. You can’t get Nylander types for a couple seconds.

 

[Okanagan]

Nylander is exactly the type of player that will disappear in the playoffs, especially in the Western Conference. Fans would jump all over him like Eberle.

Oh you mean the guy we could have gotten with our 2nd round pick in that the Griffin reinhart deal?
