GDT: Trade and Free agent Rumours thread | Chayka off-season edition

[OVO16]

Bruh where are these leafs trades they speculating about

I would have loved getting L’Heireux

I think that is cherry-picking. When that Stolarz contract was signed, 99% of the people on this board loved it.

Well I was the 1% then. I honestly thought it was very weird how it was signed on the eve of the regular season at an AVV much lover than people were predicting. Even the term was lower than expected.

With our luck the 38 year old guy will blow out his groin in the first week and never be the same. Just a giant leap of faith here that I don't think they need to take. I get that he's been incredibly durable for a long long time, and he's been good for a long time, but goaltenders are finicky and at that age players can turn on a dime.

Being scared or not believing in Hildeby is really weird. But hey we'll see. Maybe he'd win the Vezina next year for all I know.

From that to the Knies rumours, I'm starting to get very nervous about the Chaykin plan here. It started off decently well.

Hopefully Chayka is just feeding the insiders and not serious about some of these guys that are rumored in trade talks.

What other teams do is immaterial. What happened to the hairless gentleman? Get him back on here.

I said they should have moved him last off-season and felt they could have robbed Edmonton.

YOUNG #1 D only
only Harley comes close to that, and would be a fine pickup and make a solid top pairing.

Werenski is too old, and likely goes back to being injury prone if we get him, and cannot even sign him to an extension for a year, so, flight risk

Helly is in his mid 30's with a big cap hit, and always folds under playoff pressure.

Yup, Werenski only has 2 years left on his deal and Americans apparently don’t like playing in Canada lately. Hard pass.

 

[rumman]

First we need the money, then we get the power, then we get the women

Then your bled dry.

 

[TMLAM34]

WHERE IS THIS RIELLY TRADE?! CANADA’S SOCCER GAME IS OVER CHAYKA LET’S GO!!!!

 

[sxvnert]

So Chayka's solution was to trade Woll? Makes no sense. Please no Bob. Helley would be interesting but he will cost you something you do not want to move.

I think Binnington is his top target.

In fairness, we signed a 37 year old Belfour who was coming off a bad year and he then put up his best statistical season with us, and gave us a great 2-3 years between the pipes. I’m sure many of us would agree Belfour was the last outstanding goalie we have had. Bob could potentially do the same for us. It’s a gamble though. However just pointing out the age decline with goalies isn’t always something you can bank on with such conviction. Especially when Bob seems like a fitness freak.
I think 2-3 years with our fellow Russian netminder (Akhtyamov) being of almost identical stature and nationality, he could potentially learn and grow from one of the best while we try and squeeze another 2-3 competitive years out of a top tier tendy.

i pointed this out too
people were not bueno that we got him but he sure shut ppl up right quick

 

[BallardEra]

I feel like they're not married to that.

They strike me as a team that just wants to be good.

Not with regard to Wilson.

Teams would have to really overpay for the Caps to even consider it.

 

[GQS]

Seriously if Chayka is going after goalies right now especially old ones. FIRE HIS ASS ASAP. Just roll with Stolarz and let the Beast and AA play and be our future guys.

 

[trellaine201]

Chayka is lazy.

 

[BertCorbeau]

It would be quite dumb if you’re worried about Stolie’s health and then go and trade Woll

 

[TMLAM34]

I think Binnington is his top target.

I can see that too, wouldn’t be upset depending on the cost obviously.

 

[Antropovsky]

Chayka is lazy.

I heard a worker called in sick so hes filling in flipping burgers at Wendy's today.

I was just about to write that Eddie came when he had down years and 37/38 yrs old and ended up being great for us.
So why not Bob.

Unless they are getting another goalie.

 

[Punch Drunk Loov]

Id consider eating a Wendy's hamburger if Chayka does something fun

 

[Trapper]

I think he’s definitely getting moved. sucks a lot

Needs to be a stud D we have for 10 + years.

 

[Kelly]

Darren Dreger owes me a full day of work.. I should've known better to believe his cryptic tweet... but dumb ol me still spent majority of the day spamming F5.. where are our trades, darren?

 

[Gabriel426]

Imagine sending Reilly, and AM to Blues for Parayko, Thomas, Billington and two 1sts

 

[OVO16]

Apparently, the Knies deal being discussed is with Buffalo, surrounding the 4th overall Pick, according to DaMaico

It wouldn't be if you are getting a better goalie than both of them, which is what is going to happen.
