Thread: Flames trades

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>KingofRnR</b></div><div>We’ll get better for Tanev (at least a 1st or 2nd + Top Prospect)

Hanifin should bring a similar package to what Lindholm fetched

Duehr holds no Trade Value. He cleared Waivers a couple weeks ago

Boqvist = Vladar in value, so they’d be one for one, but we don’t want/need Boqvist. We’d need a Big Physical Shut Down RD like Peeke more than an inconsistent offensive one who doesn’t play Defence in Boqvist. Only Boqvist I’d want on the Flames is Jesper</div></div>

You are getting a 2nd for him. FFS man.

Thread: I would rather sell then use the 1st

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>SomeonesOffended</b></div><div>No one is paying a first for Bert lol it doesn’t matter what he got last year now he is a proven playoff performer so maybe there’s potential but I doubt he brings back more then 2 2nds with a 5th going with him</div></div>

Why wouldn't he get a first?

When he was traded last year his statline was:
29 games, 4 goals, 10 assists, 14 points, -12

He went for a 1st + 4th at a $2.375M cap hit.

His stat line is pretty similar right now to what it was this time last year. I don't think he fetches a 1st+ but all his money is in Salary bonuses. So I can see

Bert (50% retained) + 5th to a third team to retain another (25th) + 5th for 1st.

So a team gets him at $1.375 + 5th for a 1st.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Duggysdanglers</b></div><div>Sure. Somebody might get desperate.</div></div>

I don't think it's a matter of desperation.

It's a matter of supply/demand.

The only Cs on the top 40 trade bait board are Henrique and Dowd.

Rangers need a 3C unless they are gonna play an AHL journeyman there in the playoffs.
Colorado likely wants to upgrade on Johansen
Boston needs a top 6 C
Devils could use a bottom 6 C to replace McLeod

There just isn't enough out there so the price is higher than in past years.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Duggysdanglers</b></div><div>I like a first for Bertuzzi. Domi gets a second or a third.</div></div>

Almost everyone is reporting the Capitals have multiple teams interested in paying a first for Dowd.

Domi is way more valuable than Dowd.

Domi and Bert should get a 1st.

Domi would definitely be the best C on the market.
Bert would arguably be the best W.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>fangm</b></div><div>My takeaway from this is that Rangers fans are happy being in 5th and don't want to make trades to win a cup. Happy for another 1st round exit.

Interesting strategy. We'll see how that goes.

As for the OP. This would be smart for Toronto cause they just don't have it this year. But I'm not sure they are sellers. NYR would be crazy not to take this. Bertuzzi is above a PPG in the playoffs, Domi also has a stellar playoff record, and Robertson is arguably a better prospect than Kakko or Cuylle (at the very least with less TOI he's outscoring them) a 1st to NYR as well. I hesitate to use strong language but if NYR got offered this it could be a fireable offense to turn it down.</div></div>

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Rags21</b></div><div>Rangers pass. They’ll keep Kakko and buyout goodrow

And Domi is barely an upgrade over brodzinski</div></div>

Buyout would be a massive mistake.

They would have a $3.5M cap hit in the season when Cuytle, Laf and Miller all need new deals with Panarin still on the books.

A buyout helps next season, is 100k less the year after then could cost them a great young player in the third year then there are three more years that you wouldn't have with retention. It's just a horrible decision. It be shocked if they do it.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Shaun80</b></div><div>Go recheck your Robertson stats, he's averaging just under .5 points per game, the Flames have 11 players averaging over that. The flames don't have a roster spot for Robertson.</div></div>

Those stats might be wrong but a Robertson trade makes loads of sense for Calgary. It also makes a Coleman/Mangiapane trade easier for the Flames. Since they have more cap space and a roster player so they can retain and take picks.

If they did this trade them moved Coleman for a 1st and 3rd they will have picked up 4 A/A- young assets for two guys might not contribute when the team is competitive.

Fair enough. I wouldn't be shocked if he got like a 3rd and 5th like Zadorov. He's hugely underrated IMO. Pretty physical great defensively. He just hasn't shown he can play well against top lines.

Thread: Sergy Injury TDL

He is out for the year. That's a minimum of 6-8 weeks recovery which puts it at April. Hold him out 2 more weeks, give him a 2 week conditioning stint in the minors and he's back for the playoffs (best case).

Seeler won't fetch a 2nd. If Luke Schenn playing top line minutes last year only got a 3rd and Flames are asking a 2nd for Tanev then Seeler is getting a 3rd max.

This is very good.

Flyers trade only happens if they think they can make the playoffs. Even then Leafs likely add a 5th.

But otherwise value is really good. Well reasoned.

Seriously, the hyperbole on this site sometimes is unbelievable.</div></div>

It's not hyperbole if you watch them both play. Matthews himself has said many times that he has Robertson giving him pointers on his shot.

When they are on the ice together Robertson is the only player Matthews consistently defers to in front of the net. Even the second last game in OT Matthews twice forced a pass to Robertson instead of taking the shot himself.

Rangers would be crazy not to take this. They need a 3C. Bert gives them a much better top 9 winger. He's PPG in the playoffs.

Kakko isn't worth more than a 2nd. Then it's a 1st for a 3rd.

It's a crazy good deal for NY.

I think Chicago would be very interested. You are potentially picking up the best shot in the league to play beside Bedard.

Robertson has his flaws, injury prone, small, struggles to get to the right area of the ice. But given who they could play him next to, his shot along (forget his speed and motor) is likely worth a late 1st/early 2nd.

Insiders put it at 1st, B forward prospect, B def prospect

I believe Chris Johnson said he heard from inside CBJ organization that something along the lines of:

Robertson, Niemla, 1st for Jireck would get it done.

It would be absurd to get much more than that.
