beekay414 Posted December 16, 2019 Author Share Posted December 16, 2019 lol the Edmonton stuff is stupid. According to that Jim dude, they are in on Hall but there's no way they are trading anything of substance. Classy dude. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure Raanta is coming with Bahl, and apparently AZ doesn't want to give him up anyway (Bahl that is) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shero's really good at keeping things in house. I think every single thing posted so far has been pure speculation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's weird to have a very specific player mentioned, have it backed up by Friedman saying they have "hockey trades " on the table. The only thing is, I feel like that has to be a bigger deal. I'm not sure how Florida replaces him as their top 6 center Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The one promising thing is, the team looks kinda rejuvenated without Hall in the lineup. You can just tell this is hanging over their heads and we'll all be better off when it's over.

Defensively we have tightened up a bit, and Mac has been phenomenal, which is a big thing. The offense is a hot mess though. Thankfully, that was the case with or without Hall.

I think we'll be fine going forward. This doom and gloom stuff coming from some members over on HF is hilarious to me. We have talent, we know that. The problem is clearly coaching. By being able to move on from Hall, we free up so much room to maneuver and, honestly, probably saves us major trouble as Hall isn't going to be worth his contract IMO. All we need is a coach who can bring in structure and implement it from the get go. We do that, we're fine. Just gotta get this Hall trade done right and go from there. I still have a ton of hope in this team going forward. This year is whatever, let's just take that high draft pick and ride with it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forge Posted December 16, 2019 Share Posted December 16, 2019 Supposedly Calgary is starting to push now, and they are looking at an extension with the trade. I don't buy that at all. I'm not sure how credible the initial source was (just a retired scout dude), and I honestly have no idea how they make the money work long term. Rental? Sure, they could do that just by including Frolik. But long term, I don't know how they pay him 9-11 a season. They have a lot of money coming off the books, but these are important players that they would also have to replace. Frolik is 4 million they will get, Hamonic and brodie are both older, so maybe they are letting them go, but I don't know what they do to replace them. We are n't taking a Lucic cap dump back in the trade. Their farm system is also kind of brutal. Nothing inspiring whatsoever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
