Thread: Calgary fans, would this work?
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>SB84</b></div><div><i>Stop with the Bennett trades!! He is absolutely not being moved. He's having sophomore slump. Chiasson has not been disappointing. He was not brought in to play top line minutes and has had to play there because of lack of depth. He's a third line guy who is slotted wrong, that's not on him, he is what he is. Nobody expected him to be a 50 point guy.

The Flames have Jon Gillies and Parsons for goaltending prospects, they are fine in that regard. How can you say Forsberg and Karlsson could play right now when neither has established themselves as a regular goalie. They are not better what the Flames currently have in net.

It's not far off value-wise, but it doesn't make sense for the Flames.</i></div></div>
I agree with you but... Karlsson is center. Forsberg is the only one who is a goalie.

Barrie's 5.5M long-term contract does not fit within the team's salary structure, nor does he fit on the third pairing behind Jones and Savard with that contract. This move makes no sense for either team, a better option for D help would be to look for an to-be-UFA like Stone, Franson, etc.</i></div></div>
I agree... I also think it's never a bad thing to have too many defensemen. Great trade value as everyone wants one.

If Savard or Johnson is taken I think they are still fine long-term, but if Karlsson is taken then the back end would be super-heavy and some moves would need to be made. I think Barrie is an upgrade over Savard though, and it wouldn't be hard to trade him or Johnson out. I like the idea.</i></div></div>

Agree to disagree. I think it's an interesting option.

Thread: Sabres Bring in Hartnell
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>palhal</b></div><div><i><div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>RedWingFan56</b></div><div><i>Quincey wont sign for $1.25 million for 2 years it would take at least twice that, And Hartnell just stated that he's now not going to waive his NMC he wants to finish his career with Columbus.</i></div></div>


It's kinda meaningless what a player says in public. What else would Harknell say as a member of the CBJ? IMO Harknell would be willing to traded, and the CBJ would be glad to trade, if just to get more cap space and to restart another rebuild. Hartnell might even be willing to be exposed in the expansion to play his last two seasons in Vegas as opposed to Columbus, though I know Hartnell does have value as a player to the CBJ.</i></div></div>

But he wasn't asked about his NMC. He contacted Jarmo to retract his trade list. He willingly said it. It wasn't asked by media. I think he sincerely wants to stay here.
