Rumor: Trade Rumors and Proposals Thread XXV: Season over. Still waiting to begin...

[Sloth Slothersons*]

Great trade for the Oilers!

 

[Supermassive]

Spoke a little too soon.

@JoshRimerHockey: Breaking News!!! The #Flames have acquired David Jones & Shane O'Brien from the #Avalanche for Cory Sarich & Alex Tanguay

Interesting. Not much of a return comingback to Calgary.

 

[McXLNC97]

Interesting. Not much of a return comingback to Calgary.

Except for the David Jones 4m cap hit for the next 3 years Calgary actually ends up adding 0.5m to their cap hit as Tanguay was only making 3.5m while the 2 d-men are both at 2m cap hits.

At least Feaster is doing something
Not sure what Vince...I mean, MacT is up to

 

[McDoused]

Hahaha flames get bent over.

 

[s7ark]

I suppose Jones could rebound into a tough 2nd line RW. And I guess the Flames got younger. That's about all I can say in favour of this deal from a Calgary perspective.

Avs will be better next season after this deal. Calgary, probably not.

No move is better than a bad move.

I do hope this opens the floodgates though.

All hinges on David Jones turning it around a bit. If he does then I like this deal for the Flames. Good hockey trade for both sides. I like it.

Going to be really tough for him to live up to his contract.

$4M for three more years.

 

[OF17]

If we have to get rid of some sort of 2nd round pick for Clutterbuck, I'd honestly much rather go for Viktor Stalberg as a UFA.

He's the perfect 2nd line LW or 3rd line RW, depending on how we want to use him.

Only thing to worry about is 0 goals in the playoffs, but I think he'll be fine.

And that he's only proven he can handle sheltered minutes. The Oilers need fewer players that need that treatment, not more. That being said, if MacT strikes out on other options, adding Stalberg at $2M is better than adding no one.

For sure. I'm just kind of bummed that these 3 deals haven't taken place

 

[joestevens29]

I really don't know what Feaster's plan is, but Jones ever gets back to that 20G season and Feaster should be able to flip him for picks/prospects.

That all kinda hinders on Feaster not trading his picks/prospects for that extra playoof push

Article on Stalberg.

As for the sheltered minutes, that actually should be fine here in Edmonton because his Corsi and puck possession numbers were good, as long as we reshape the 3rd line into something that can shutdown.

Millions is tweeting that Mike Cammalleri will be the next one to go. The Flames are going to have a TONNE of cap space to play with.

 

[Wheathead]

Flames made a trade... Fire MacT!

Prepare for a monster contract offer for Vinny...

 

[MetaOil1993]

Good trade for the Avs IMO. I cannot stand SOB.

 

[Asher]

Prepare for him to say no.

 

[KeithIsActuallyBad]

Prepare for him to say no.

Of course. Nothing would please me more than watching the Flames go whale hunting again.

 

[s7ark]

Yeah, looks like they either fell apart while waiting for the finals to end, or there never was anything in the first place. Shame, changes need to happen, and soon.

Didn't somebody (Tencer, maybe?) tweet that he expects Hemsky and Horcoff to be traded "soon?"

 

[Calgary McOilers]

Sarich is > O'Brien, plus O'Brien will to be overpaid for 1 extra year compared to Sarich.

Jones would have been a good wing player for the Oilers; however, his contract stinks @ $4M for 3 more years.

 

[KlimasLoveChild]

Hahaha flames get bent over.

They better get used to it! I'm looking forward to several years of futility

 

[McJeetz]

Any interest in Lecavalier?

Easily. I would give him 5.5mil x 5years. 1st 3 years he would play 1st line with Hall and Yak. Shelter RNH and Eberle until RNH matures (give Ebs a better chance to live up to his contract). The last 2 years RNH takes his place as our #1C, Lecav anchors our 3rd line.

Now you can trade Gagner as a centerpiece for a top pairing defenceman. We still keep our #7 pick.


Hall Lecav Yak
TBA RNH Eberle

check capgeek.com jones 4mill+obrien 2mill= 6mill for Tanguey 3.5 + sarich 2mill for 5.5mill

and if the CBA is inforced. the flames will be tagged for the final year of Kippers contract because they got A HUGE break on the last year of the deal. Kippers physical contract was for only 1mill and not 6
