What kind of more? More proven? Or more potential?
- Lahey

Well, ideally both. Dougie Hamilton, obviously being high end, is ideal because he has shown he is an NHL'r but his potential is so high. Muzzin has been good but this is his 1st NHL yr isn't it? Maybe he isn't what he appears to be and he is little more than replacement level. I'm not a scout though. Whatever trade may be made for Iggy, if the player doesn't have that "name", Flames management will have to sell the public on him.

I suggested Holland and a 1st and his potential, to me at least, is exciting. I'm sure a lot of people have never heard of him. It's a sliding scale I suppose.

Well that would be smart getting Ken Holland and the Wings 1st.

Guess Perry is off the market now. They are out there but I'm not too well versed in other team's prospects to know who they are. Don't we have one with Aliu?; who hasn't really been given a chance in a top 6 roll this year, even though he did well playing with Cammi last year at the end of the season.

I'm losing faith in Feaster.

- FL4MES

I don't think Aliu has been that good in Abby this year. To bad, he has the size for sure.
I have been trying to propose trades with prospects with size and skill. Toughness seems hard to find. Hopefully Ferland figures it out next year.

The kid could actually still be pretty good! Especially if he can put on 30-40 pounds.

But it's never bad to have too much depth at Center.

- jtommyt


Ya I know...I hope he does pan out, everyone is so hard on him, and nobody has even seen him play. Anyways, it was just a joke, no hard feelings JANKO!

It's cuz they put him on the 4rth line as a grinder from the start of the season. Guy could be a good agitator on the second line, maybe 3rd.

I'd love if he could turn into a guy like Glenny, but with more fighting majors.

Needs to be given a chance, but it seems like they want to develop the "skilled players" as a priority; most of which won't see more than 5 NHL games.

Ahh well, what can we do? I'll still go see games and buy merch (gonna get a cool summer hat for my kid next home game), so perhaps I'm part of the problem.

He's not gonna get his chance because he is not talented enough....can't put the cart before the horse! You gotta be REAL good to play top 6 in the NHL.

I know the "real" trolls will crucify for me for this suggestion.

Iggy & JBo to Pitt. (if salary works) I'm assuming they would have to let Iggy walk in the summer.

Bennett, Maata, Morrow and a 1st to Calgary

If you break it down its Bennett and 1st for Iggy
Maata and Morrow for JBo.

People who will laugh at this have to understand that all 3 prospects are still unproven, no?

Dude, CRB right????

Although if you want another laugh on the other side of the spectrum, read Cloutiers obsession with getting JBO. A piece he thinks will give the Oilers the best d pairings in years & he wants to give us Nicky Shultz & a whopping 2nd.
