Quoting: Flamed
Lmao. SB84 deleted his embarrassing comment (that s 7 paragraphs Long btw) he was complaining about how I traded Elliot twice, and about why I would trade a "fan favorite" like Bouma. And how we should not trade Brow because he's much better than Nyquist and how Versteeg couldn't even earn a contract with the oilers (news flash: he did) Oh, and he kept his 1 star rating for this post...
Edit: just checked out one of his armchair gm teams... Had a 1.1 rating.. 11 people voted..
It got deleted fyi. Your comments are false, I was not saying Brouwer was "much better" than Nyquist and I certainly did not ask why you would trade Bouma only because he is a fan favourite. Nyquist is not a top line forward and Howards contract is absolutely horrible. If the wings are going to rid themselves of that contract they are going to have to give up a substantial incentive for anyone to take it, i.e. see Chicago's trade to Carolina involving teravainen. Too many quality assets going DET's way.
Versteeg never signed anything more than a PTO with EDM. Either way, it's not even close to enough for COL as they have stated they are looking for a blue chip defensive prospect or a young D man with 1st line potential, a 1st and a prospect. Swing and a miss with that proposal.
As a fan of the Flames who lives in Calgary, I just listened to Trelivings interview on the Fan960 and he stated that Bennett is not going anywhere and they are very confident he will be a scoring centre for the team so I am puzzled as to why you think they would trade him for a "scoring boost" when Brown has scored 11g,9a and Bennett has 9g,9a when many have considered this as a positive year for Brown and a down year for Bennett. Long term, and short term, this does not make sense for the Flames. The only trade that is close value-wise is Wideman, retained, for a 3rd and a 6th, even though Florida is not in any position to be giving up any assets for a rental when they aren't going to make the playoffs...
