Thread: Realistic options
1. Reimer at 3 years, Ortio to backup for 2 years, Gillies should be ready to come up. Reimer is a steady goalie who is capable and could be a pleasant surprise.
2. Solid trade to move up to 3rd overall to get Puljujarvi. Foligno takes Colborne's roster spot. Clb get two second round picks just to move down 3 spots to take Brown/Keller/Jost, and a likely third pairing defenceman in Kulak. They also shed some salary.
3. New Jersey or somebody will take Wideman, who can still play. He only has one year left on that contract. Calgary will need to take back some salary in return, but get a 2nd round pick in doing so, NJ gets an upgrade on their second pairing D (or Boston, or another team).
4. Derek Grant is ready to be an NHL center. I certainly hope we sign him July 1st.
5. This team should be much better than last year, with a better goalie, a better start, and more mature/experienced players in Gaudreau, Monahan, Bennett, Ferland, Hamilton... Puljujarvi is gonna be a stud, I hope that Calgary can get that pick from Columbus!

Why not dum dum? Wideman has one more year, Iggy has one more year, same salaries. Avs have Rantanen to take Iggy's spot, and will probably move Barrie for a high draft pick or prospects, Wideman can fill Barries spot for one year, and takes Iggys cap hit. I think it's a trade that makes sense for both teams, and the Flames are just as attractive to Iggy now as Colorado for one more year, why not give it one more year in Calgary?</i></div></div>

Wideman is not a true Top 4 dman, and the Avs have a stock pile of guys who are 3rd pairing guys (Holden, Gelinas, Beauchemin). Wideman is 5m in wasted cap space, at least iggy is useful on the PP and in a bottom 6 role. Also Wideman blocks a roster spot for Zadorov and or Bigras.

So yes it is a terrible dumb trade for the Avs</i></div></div>

Well that's where we disagree. Wideman is a 4th dman on their roster, and a very useful 2nd line PP man. He's better than Zadorov for one more year, Zadorov needs more time to develop. Anyways, not a dumb trade for the AVS, considering that (IMO) Wideman will help their team more next year than Iggy will. And vice versa for Calgary. It's all speculative anyways.

Thread: go treliving!
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>skrollins</b></div><div><i>Even with goalie market flooded I think you'd be pretty lucky to get Reimer for 3.6. Probably add around a million to that cap hit (Niemi went for $4.5 per last year.)

Re: the Pronger thing - it seems to be a popular option on here, evidently based on the notion Arizona would rather pay a guy to actually play. But here's the key fact people miss - Pronger's ACTUAL SALARY for his final year is just $575K. It's why they traded for that deal, so they could get to the floor without actually paying what the cap hit implied. (It's also why his contract is even still in effect, since it was one of the now-banned cap cheat deals). Wideman, on the other hand, has an actual salary of $6M in 2017. So Arizona would be doing Calgary a favour in that deal, not the other way around. I wouldn't call it impossible but improbable; Flames likely would have to throw something in.</i></div></div>

I didn't know Skrollings, thanks for the info. In that case it is very improbable, or the Flames would have to sweeten the offer as you said.
