Would Buffalo' make either Alex Tuch or Jordan Greenway available if they continue to be ass (which they 100% will be)

Tuch would have my interest, but he is RW.

Nylander - ? - Tuch

 

[Amadeus]

Buffalo is still in it and likely will want to add than subtract to put themselves in a favorable position next year.

They are 12th. (point %) out of 16 right now, but they should keep at it.

Zucker is 32, is UFA, more likely a candidate to be shopped if they aren't solidly improved by the deadline.

Would the flames be interested in trading Blake Coleman

 

[Chief Leaf]

I am starting not to trust Matthews injuries meaning: He seems to be injured quite often.

What I am going to suggest may be one of the most off the wall, crazy, but a balsy move for the now. ( which would definately shorten "our window") yet stregthen our center depth and imo be a better well rounded team.

Also would have to consider that other moves could be made down the road to tweek us even further.

My propsal is:

Matthews
Minten
Robertson

traded to Pittsburgh for:

Crosby and Malkin.

Points would not be lost because Crosby and Malkin should be able to cover the loss of Matthews totals.

Crosby could lead the team like a true Captain centering the first line.

Knies - Crosby - Marner
Domi - Tavares - Nylander
McMann - Malkin - Lorenz
Dewar - Kampf - Reeves

It's both maybe and no at the same time because Calgary won't trade with us apparently.

I wouldn't do that unless we also got McDavid for the 4th line.

I think we can forget about trades with Pittsburgh or Calgary. Don't think either party will do fair trades with us.

I disagree wrt Penguins.

Their GM would win any deal.

Just such a weird hill to die on. How long do they need to stop lamenting about it. Dubas got a promotion out of it. Sometimes it works out for the best in their careers and it's business in the end. I can understand in the first few months or so of Treliving leaving his team you don't want to help him out, whatever, but it's been 2 years now. I think it's probably in the past now.

I feel like if there's a good hockey deal in place, you can probably put personal differences aside to make something happen, especially after 2 years. I think they can make it happen.

If the embargo ever gets lifted, I have interest in Weegar still.

McCabe-Tanev
Rielly-Weegar
OEL-Timmins / Hakanpaa

 

[jaric1862]

I keep coming back to Bjugstad and Rutta. If you can get those two, I'd be happy.

What are you offering the Flames who are not rebuilding, but want to win.

Might start with Minten, a western boy.

Geez, have to add Cowan.

I don't know how Leafs do it.

Need $6mm in space. Flames are not going to retain for another 6 years.

Minten, Cowan, McCabe (capspace)
for
Weeger, prospect, pick ...

Again, really comes down to Capspace and Leafs lack of top end prospects.

I like Weegar, but I believe he mostly plays LD, and is most comfortable there.
