Thread: Familiar Trade Bait and Unfamiliar Targets
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>TheOilersBOI</b></div><div>The Edmonton trade depends on if Ceci is gone and Broberg is still in AHL. But IDK if bean will be a bottom pair defenseman. Bean has potential but I don't think that Edmonton is the place.

Laine to Buffalo is interesting but you're not getting Skinner as he has NMC.

Everything else is pretty good.

Also idea for trading Provorov. Maybe Calgary.</div></div>

The nice part about Bean is he still has enough potential that he might be able to reach 2nd-pair potential with the right coach/system. EDM definitely depends on how the rest of their D-men shake out, but I figured it would be an interesting target that's a little different from everything else I've seen.

Laine/Skinner is really unrealistic due to NMCs, I agree. I think Columbus should keep Laine anyway, just included him as part of the exercise here.

Calgary could also work, I've seen that elsewhere here, though, and Calgary fans seemed to think it would turn into another Hanifin situation at TDL. That would more likely be an offseason move, too. I'm not opposed to that at all, I just think Columbus is more likely to hang onto him until TDL to both minimize the total salary they'd have to retain, and also let Mateychuk grow in the AHL a little before eventually filling Provorov's role.
